Then you missed “I’m up for give and take but I won’t be called a liar!
End of discussion.”

Boettner has Joan of Arc condemned to the stake by the Pope....wasn’t it a Burgundian bishop who presided over her trial?

Pierre Cauchon claimed jurisdiction over Joan of Arc because his English allies captured her in Compiegne in his diocese.

However, as a Catholic from Domremy, she was entitled to demand that she be tried in her own local ordinary's court - which would have resulted most likely in a controversy over canonical jurisdiction which would have to be resolved by a higher authority, likely Rome.

Cauchon ignored canon law and proceeded to preside over a trial for which he had no legally established jurisdiction.

The Pope had no role in her conviction or execution - when he learned of what happened he overturned the verdict and leveled canonical charges against Cauchon, who refused to answer them and fled his diocese to take refuge in English-controlled territory.

The entire trial of Joan of Arc was conducted against canon law and without the Pope's permission.

I never called you a liar.

If you want to pretend I did to avoid addressing the argument, go ahead. But it's a cop-out.

Seems to me there is a significant difference between being executed by a secular leader masquerading as the head of a church and the wholesale slaughter of "heretics" sanctioned by Rome.

Nope. You're just as dead.

Perhaps then we'll start to come to the realization that we have more to gain by treating each other like brothers and sisters than by picking fights over 500-year-old grudges.

No response to this, hmmm??

Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal.

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

only if it is the cartoon guy whose name we cannot speak, any other anti-Catholic screed is allowed to stand even when it cannot stand on reasoning and evinces nothing but lies and hate, sans the cartoon.

The problem is that no anti-Catholic ever defends their articles on substance. They just repeat the same old lies and accusations, ad nauseum and that is supposed to suffice. They never defend scripture, nothing. It is pointless to debate them because they never defend the substantiations they just throw out their red herrings, change the subject, obfuscate and nauseate.

from #94 So you really can’t say Gregory didn’t or did write this Dictatus Papae and you certainly can’t say a secretary wrote it.
So where are the “lies”?

From #96 If you’re going to claim that “Gregory VII said”, then you need to have hard evidence, or you’re lying.

NOW....end of discussion and insults.

I left this thread and went to the readings and just thought I would post this. Sound familiar?

Gospel
Lk 11:47-54

The Lord said:
“Woe to you who build the memorials of the prophets
whom your fathers killed.
Consequently, you bear witness and give consent
to the deeds of your ancestors,
for they killed them and you do the building.
Therefore, the wisdom of God said,
‘I will send to them prophets and Apostles;
some of them they will kill and persecute’
in order that this generation might be charged
with the blood of all the prophets
shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah
who died between the altar and the temple building.
Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law!
You have taken away the key of knowledge.
You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”
When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees
began to act with hostility toward him
and to interrogate him about many things,
for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.

. . . . then by Divine Right it endures till the end of time . . .

UNMITIGATED NONSENSE.

I have read no convincing evidence it was ever established by God Almighty vs by a band of militarily supported political bureaucrats and power mongers 300-400 years after Christ.

Regardless . . .

God HIMSELF
CLEARLY, OVERTLY
AND CLEARLY SCRIPTURALLY

Set up the Mosaic Priesthood . . . and various kings . . .

and JUST AS CLEARLY, REPEATEDLY withdrew HIS ANOINTING, HIS MANDATE

and trashed, KILLED, REMOVED the people, heirs, their leadership, reign etc.

The MOST HIGHLY ARROGANT ASSUMPTION, HERESY, NONSENSE, HIDIOUSNESS

THAT God has continued to bless and in any major way continue to 'primarily work through'

ANY

HUMAN ORGANIZATION--PARTICULARLY ANY HUMAN RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION

long after that organization
has DEMONSTRABLY
left
HIS VALUES,
PRIORITIES,
WAYS

is unmitigated blasphemy and/or idolatry.

Any notion that the Vatican

or ANY OTHER

human religious organization has continued purely operating in the center of God's will long after their founding

is laughable, pathetic delusion, falsehood, horrific deception on the face of it.

GOD ALONE IS GOD!
GOD ALONE IS GOOD!
GOD ALONE WILL ALWAYS BE GOD!

TRADITION DOESN'T CUT IT!
BUREAUCRACY DOESN'T CUT IT!
PEDIGREE DOESN'T CUT IT!
POLITICS DOESN'T CUT IT!

NOT BY MIGHT!
NOT BY POWER!
NOT BY STANDING ARMIES!
NOT BY POLITICS!
NOT BY BUREAUCRACY!
NOT BY MAGICSTERICALS!
NOT BY TRADITIONS!
NOT BY PEDIGREE!
NOT BY SUCCESSION, HUMAN HEIRSHIP!

BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD!

God is increasingly cleaning up His Church Universal . . . some religious organizations/churches will be trashed wholesale/left out in the increasingly deadly cold away from GOD'S ANOINTING, PROVISION, PROTECTION, LEADING . . . most likely to be sucked up in the satanic global government in some form or other, if they continue to exist at all.

Some CONGREGATIONS in most Christian organizations will fall by the wayside and some will go on to be purified more and more and stand tall as beacons of righteousness regardless of what happens as a whole with the parent organization.

Some very few Christian organizations may as a whole be purified by God's cleansing and refiner's fires. Such could probably be counted on one or at the most two hands.

Within congregations, individuals will be sifted sorely. Those unwilling to give all and focus wholesale on God as their utmost Priority and on His Spirit's guidance and ways . . . will fall by the wayside.

There will be no exceptions.

GOD
WILL HAVE
A TRIED, PURIFIED, HOLY PEOPLE.

He must do it.
We cannot.
We MUST be willing and cooperative.

Rebellion & idolatry will be death sentences. Deception and game playing will be merely different faces of rebellion and/or idolatry.

Rationalizations will not work.
Rituals will not work.
Traditions will not work.
Hierarchy will be of no avail.
Bureaucracy will be of no avail.
Magicstericals will be of no avail.
Structure will not work.
Past glories will be of no avail.
Rationalizations will be of no avail.
History will be of no avail.
Human or organizational Status will be of no avail.
Numbers will be of no avail.
Human opinions will be of no avail.
Bargaining will be of no avail.

All chaff, wood, hay, stubble will be consumed by the Fire of His cleansing Spirit. All that can be shaken will be shaken to destruction.

God will likely be merciful to those of earnest hearts authentically seeking Him--and who have been merciful. However, folks holding themselves out in any sort of leadership positions will most definitely be tested seriously . . . particularly along the lines of their own judgments and pronouncements as well as Scripture.

Human structures and organizations will be amongst the first things to go; be shredded; rendered kaput, ineffectual, trash heaps.

HIS ORGANIZATION will be a flowing, spontaneous, creative, temporary/eternal symphonic dance of His Spirit Who will Blow Where HE wishes, How HE wishes, When HE wishes, Where He wishes, as long or short as HE wishes . . . carrying those truly filled with HIS SPIRIT along with Him as He wills and as they wholeheartedly focus on HIM and cooperate with HIM.

Let the Spirit-filled Body of Christ hereon judge the above words as whether they be of God, or not.

IF they are, mocking is ill-advised. The spiritual trash-heap has no limits to it's size.

I add this reference concerning the Dictatus Papae:

This from the introduction to Cowdrey’s book, Pope Gregory VII, 1073-1085, page 502,

“Since the dictatus papae has a place in what is almost certainly the original register of the papal chancery, its authnticity as a document emanating from, and almost certainly drafted by, Gregory himself cannot be seriously questioned”.

Supposedly the death machinery at the camps is already engineered to be quite efficient . . . time in barracks will supposedly be kept to a minimum.

What an excellent, God ordained Scripture to preface my post following.

Thanks.
