"propaganda/preparation" preceding the declaration of the Bodily Assumption Of Mary

As a spontaneous belief, the Assumption isn't new. There were churches of the Assumption, if I recall right, in Carolingian Germany; you might be old enough to remember those.

I also think that the WWII was the best propaganda one could wish for, for the dogmatization of the belief.

>>Go back over the locked threads and you will find your “one”. <<

Ooooo, good dodge. But it won’t work. You keep talking about those who hit the abuse button, but I thought it was long standing here that one is not supposed to discuss the actions of the mods, I must be wrong because YOU know who is hitting the abuse button.

Therefore, because you KNOW of posters who hit the abuse button, why don’t you tell us who they are.

Otherwise, your posts are like CAIR saying that Muslims were abused after 911. You can’t prove it, but you say it happened so all of us must know it to be true.

Let’s stop with the broad brush

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters." Is this NEW? Because I have never seen it done.

Nor have I -- but it is about time that it be done!!!

Astronomy.... theology. There is a difference, you know?

There is a huge difference between Astronomy (science) and Theology.

The problem is that historically the Vatican can't keep the two categories straight.

In the interview by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom, he said.

The interview, headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother," covered a variety of topics including the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and science, and the theological implications of the existence of alien life.

You drag God into the discussion and it becomes Theology.

And even when they’ve been proven true through scripture, you don’t believe it.

We shall see how many are up to that challenge. I'm a bit surprised at the objections to this new type of thread. Imho, it merely offers us more options, yet takes nothing away as “open” threads are still acceptable.

If there was supposed to be a Reformed Caucus, it would have been preordained

What you will see on these ecumenical threads is exactly what went on on the first "respectful dialogue thread" one.

Disrupters will take up their little posts and lie in wait for anyone that they happen to disagree with. Soon they will post their little "that's disrespectful" or whatever the new phrase will be. These little SATANs (Self-appointed thread attack nannies) will find a purpose in life, as they have no passion for true theological discussion. I personally don't care what they do, I don't post on Catholic or Mormon caucus threads.

>>Get over yourself. You do your own work. We can all see who pings the Religion Moderator in their posts — they do show up on your computer, don’t they???? See and ye shall find — <<

1. you are making an accusation that posters hit the abuse button, thin skinned ones
2. Mods are known to pull posts on their own
3. I don’t know what kind of computer you have but mine does not show complaints from other by the abuse button

FR is about facts.
Show us your facts, not your accusations.
Facts. Can’t do the work if I don’t see it. Your accuation.

Who is hitting the abuse button?
