We have had exchanges for years and I want to tell you publicly that I appreciate your forthright Faith.
I would not EVER want to be present at an exorcism, and from what I can recall about our discussions in the past, I know why you were present.
Peace, FRiend!

I second that!
LOL! Good for you. For your wonderful doctor as well. :)
That’s good for YOU to say. He writes his own prescriptions for single malt Scotch! At least I got him to write the scrip for one barrel dose to be taken “prn.”
I wonder if my supper is cold yet?

One easily imagines dialogues between a scrounging legionary, perhaps a Vandal or a Parthian by origin, and a willing but benighted yokel.LEGIONARY (in vile Latin): I want water. Bring me water. Aquam.
YOKEL: Ugh?
L.: Aquam! Say aquam, you bloody fool. Go on aquam.
Y: O? (To be spelled eau when they get to the writing stage centuries later.)
L.: Bring it to the high cliff. The high cliff. Altum.
Y.: Ugh?
L.: Altum! Say altum, you bumpkin. Go on altum.
Y.: O? (To be spelt haut when, etc.)

Rack of lamb sounds good.
“The demons become very agitated at his presence,” Father Amorth says of the late Pope”
I’m more impressed with that than with anything I’ve heard of JPII previously.
I wouldn’t rely heavily on this. The Devil has composed some absolutely amazing works in Latin himself.
You really are drawn to try to bring down the Catholic Church.
I grew up in the Methodist church, having both sets of grandparents as ministers. I never heard any discussion of other denominations there. But, I had cousins, other family members who were Baptist, some Pentecostals, etc. who brought up Catholicism in a bad way every chance they got. I dare say they preached more against the Church than they did for Jesus. Maybe you could answer some of that for me. I just never understood the anger.
You’re pretty amazing!
One could hardly call nastiness “laughing at”. It’s sad that some people/groups can only measure themselves by listing how they are not XXX church or tearing other groups down.
Please there is plenty of mud thrown over the fence by *both* sides in this. I have seen catholics blame souther baptist for the fact the Episcopalians have a gay bishop!
LOL means laughing out loud and the idea that Jesus when Spoken in Latin is more powerful than English is absurdly funny/sad.
LOL, I did not know I had the power to do that (gates of hell and all that , you know) !

You seem to have a hard time understanding people that have a passion for the truth and a desire/ call to share it.
Catholics are mired in false traditions and erroneous teachings, yet in that church there are men and women elect of God to be His adopted children. As a believer it is my responsibility to present the truth and the gospel and pray that God opens their ears and eyes to hear and believe.
Anger would desire harm to people or vengeance, it is love to desire Christ for others.
Sorry you have never understood the truth of that.
You shall know them by their fruit.
I never ask anyone to accept me as an authority on anything, I present what I believe and hopefully present the word of God to support it and then it is Gods job to open ears and convert people not mine
Calm down Debbie, You insulted me first if you look back at the thread and I am not angry with you. I simply pointed out a pride problem.
