"Well meaning" masons and their surrogates are the back bone of the mainline leftist protestant church.
Amern.
In every way, Mexicans are screwed. I don't blame them for coming here. What a sewer it is.
Where do you think Mary's prayers go? You figure Jesus circular-files his own mother's requests?
DUH!!!
How did the masons succeed in making a functional government here in the US, but then screw up so much when they expanded to Mexico? Were their more radical tendencies held in check here?
You know, I pop in here only every so often now.
But this is the second Catholic thread I’ve seen you trolling today. Is the axe you’re grinding new, or is it something that’s been masked?
So, yes I very familiar with the so-called “mysteries of the rosary”. And as Christian, I denounce them all...”
Wow! Even the sorrowful ones?
Tell you this, it takes me hours to say that one. The meditation on the Crowning of Jesus with Thorns, and the Agony in the Garden of Gesthemane alone have so many layers of prayer that it’s impossible not to join Christ in His journey to Golgatha.
The Sorrowful Mysteries:
The Agony in the Garden
The Scourging at the pillar
The Crowning with Thornes
Jesus carries His Cross
The Crucifixion - That is a particularly difficult meditation - To realize the extent to which God suffered for the love of us for our redemption.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus, the human heart of the Divine Word...wow, that is also a meditation that is so huge it will take me forever to gain insight if God wills it.
The Crowning with Thornes is another. To realize the extent God completely disregards these human achievements of wealth, power, beauty, fame! He’s born poor and little when the world expected a king and he’s crowned in pain with trash that grows by a roadside and then spat upon and struck instead of honored and adored.
But, if you denounce all these meditations on the life of our Glorious Lord Jesus, that’s your choice.
I am deadly serious about this.
Blessed Miguel Pro, pray for us.
And obviously learned nothing.
My “Thesis on the wall”, as it were.
Luther prayed the rosary and was very devoted to the Blessed Mother.
You stated in 4; I would if I wanted my prayers to stop at the 14th floor. My prayers go all the way to the top floor … directly to Jesus.
And in 6; Just making a statement … the rosary is a prayer primarily addressed to Mary (for her intercession). I see no need for a prayer to Mary when I have been given permission by Jesus to take my prayers directly to Him.
Please show me where Jesus gave us permission to pray to Him. All references pertaining to our prayers, that I have read Him make, is for us to pray to His Father and our Father in His, Jesus’, name.
The Masons have an bloody and disgusting history in Mexico. It is tragic that they had the free reign to attack the Church as they have in the past. I am thrilled to see their power decline.
Indeed but there are greater problems like Catholics praying the Rosary!! :-D
Yes, so totally unlike the "Gentle Inquisition" in Spain as produced by the tolerant Roman Catholic Church.
/s
The freedom to educate one's children in church schools is "fascism"?
The Mexican secularists shot people on entirely fabricated charges, or no charges at all.
I am amazed that there are 12,000 Protestants let alone Masons in Mexico.
The masonic fraternity was largely responsible for the succession of Texas (basically all the founders of Texas were Masons from Stephen F. Austin, to Davey Crockett, to Houston, Travis and most all the boys in the Alamo), and have had rumors spread about them every since.
Gathered via the rack, the iron maiden, the hot tongs, thumbscrews and the like.
Of course, they didn't put women's panties over their heads, so it wasn't too egregious.
