Participation in the life of the Church should lead any Catholic (Charismatic, traditional, or ordinary) into a deeper relationship with the Eucharist, the Blessed Mother and the Pope.

THERE WE HAVE IT, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Dogs and Cats!

BRAZENLY
DISPLAYED
FOR ALL TO SEE!

The concern expressed
is NOT
EVEN
PRIMARILY
FOR
THE
LOVE
OF
GOD, THE FATHER,
GOD, THE SON,
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT!

THE CONCERN,
THE EMPHASIS,
THE EXCLAMATION,
THE DISTRESS,
THE EXHORTATION,
THE PUNITIVE PERSPECTIVE

ARE
CLEARLY
ABOUT

the somewhat exclusivist
view of
a ritualized
bureaucratically,
authoritarian
defined
and
sanctioned
FLESH FOCUSED
EXPERIENCE
of
wafers and wine

AND
(drum roll)
a
finished task
earthly mother
AND

a
bureaucratic
magicsterical created
tyrannical
authoritarian
exclusivist
supremelyl lording it over
very human
chief
power monger!

And they seem to
STILL
have the perspective
that
Proddys
and
the watching world
are stupid, blind and clueless enough
to
NOT
think of such
as
SERIOUS
BLASPHEMY
AND
IDOLATRY!

Ain't it grand that the Vatican thinks Proddys are as dumb as rocks!

So when somebody says I'm not reading Scripture properly because I don't agree with the various time-tables, or even with the process of looking for time-tables, may I then conclude they care more for timetables than for Jesus and God? Is it reasonable of me to expect that in every post there be some explicit act of homage to God or to conclude from the absence of such an homage that the person doesn't care much for God?

I would think that such folks would say that even though I'm in for a rough ride, or at least a heck of a shock, that they only meant that for a fuller understanding and a deeper obedience, the time-table thing is important.

EWTN, committing the grave and unexpected crime of believing the Faith it tries to propagate, is only saying that something's wrong with a charism that leads one away from the Church, Mary, the Pope.

Being Catholic implies that I agree. While I rejoice with my brothers and sisters all over the shop, I think that anything that puts a greater distance between them and those three things is not the best.

In response to your absurd post..

Father Gabriele Amorth -an official exorcist wrote the following about those influenced by demons...

“obsessive thoughts, sometimes even rationally absurd, but of such nature that the victim is unable to free himself” -Father Gabriele Amorth

The really unfortunate thing is the extremely long line of Protestants out to prove this true. There are many Protestants who obviously are more holy than such as I, but there is a rag tag cluster of folks that simply reinforce that stereotype.

Sometimes they forget and say what they really believe
