I can assure you as a Catholic that the Church does not disregard what God says.

Romans 8:34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

"Romans 8:34-39"

Wonderful Scripture. I quoted this Scripture to you in post # 1343 because I felt it was germane to the topic of conversation, but I'm not sure why you are quoting it back to me without comment. Is there something in particular to which you would like to call my attention?

Would you care to get to the point and explain exactly what specifically Romans 8:34-39 has to do with the quote you responded to that says

"I can assure you as a Catholic that the Church does not disregard what God says."

These biblical verse deluges really get pointless sometimes. Did'ya ever think that the Catholic Church may *not* separate its adherents from God? Being a Catholic and loving God are not mutually exclusive concepts.

FC -- you pull quotes with no linkage to the original question or statement and with little of no linkage to the other little snippets that you post. the Bible is not a book of quotes which you just put here and there with no respect to the context, to the overall meaning of the word. Why do you think I brought up the point about Paul saying that the wife should submit to her husband? Take that one liner and you will rile most women, even non-feminists. however, read the ENTIRE passage and Paul puts the onus on BOTH husband and wife as EQUAL partners -- he urges husbands to treat the wife as part of his own body. This EQUALITY would be in complete contradiction to that one-liner inference.
