"The gentleman who runs the blog is an ex-protestant you might learn something. bye"

If you would like to read the blogs from the many ex-Catholics that found freedom from the chains of Rome, escaped the deep error of man-made tradition and superstitions, let us know. You probably won't learn anything, because it is God who grants eyes to see and ears to hear. And, Rome has been slighted from this benefit.

Your defense of the faith has been admirable on this thread (and everywhere else.) All glory to God alone.

Ignatius Loyola, godfather of the counter-Reformation guard dogs, the Jesuits, wrote this in his "Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius"...

TO HAVE THE TRUE SENTIMENT WHICH WE OUGHT TO HAVE IN THE CHURCH MILITANT 

Let the following Rules be observed. 

First Rule

The first: All judgment laid aside, we ought to have our mind ready and prompt to obey, in all, the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, which is our holy Mother the Church Hierarchical.

Second Rule

The second: To praise confession to a Priest, and the reception of the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar once in the year, and much more each month, and much better from week to week, with the conditions required and due.

Third Rule

The third: To praise the hearing of Mass often, likewise hymns, psalms, and long prayers, in the church and out of it; likewise the hours set at the time fixed for each Divine Office and for all prayer and all Canonical Hours.

Thirteenth Rule.

To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it, believing that between Christ our Lord, the Bridegroom, and the Church, His Bride, there is the same Spirit which governs and directs us for the salvation of our souls. Because by the same Spirit and our Lord Who gave the ten Commandments, our holy Mother the Church is directed and governed.

Catch that last part - be ready and willing to say white is black in order to defend Rome's agenda.

Lol. Who says times change?
