Like it or not, Dear Brother,the actual written teachings on Faith and Morals has NOT Changed.
If one lives their lives by these teaching they would likely become a Saint.

The problem arises when man elevates himself above these teachings and there have been many that have and still do.

The Catholic Church founded by Christ Himself teaches incredible LOVE if its followed 100%.

Just look at the lives of the Saints and you will see that they held firm to these teachings,some of them even until death.


Here are a few examples....

Respect for Human Life
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P7Z.HTM

Respect for the Dignity of Persons
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P80.HTM

The Love of Husband and Wife
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P86.HTM

Offenses Against the Dignity of Marriage
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P87.HTM

Love For the Poor
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P8F.HTM

If you ever could find it to reach beyond your pride and read what the Catholic Church actually teaches,you would understand
That is what I will pray for in my prayer for you, Brother.

I wish you a Blessed day!

Thanks for your kind msg.

I pray the same for you and yours.

History can be an interesting topic!

It's been a while since I've read good historical accounts of the whole sweep of the Roman edifice.

But I contend that the teachings HAVE changed. Sometimes dramatically for however many decades.

Of course, there are wonderful Roman belivers and I praise God for them. But, to paraphrase Christ . . . I don't pontificate about the ones doing it right in my congregation, denomination (if I were in one), or any other including the Roman group.

And, the double standard and denial and blindness are not righteousness enhancing qualities, traits, habits.

I don't understand--other than sociologically, psychologically and demonically--the blindness about one's organization's past.

Sanitized histories may be fine for certain contexts . . . but they don't wash as far as Heaven is concerned.

Blogger?
