Do you really think so? Really?
And on the RF, most of us don't simply "allude" to Scripture. We post chapter and verse.
Keeps us honest.
Alter Christus is a precisely defined theological term, though like most precisely defined terms, the definition itself is not at bumper sticker level. You may or may not know this, and you may or may not care. At the moment, I am more interested in seeing you defend the position that you took(probably inadvertently) against Leo XIII and Pius XI back on the luther thread. We should finish that discussion before embracing another.
I've "defended" my position re: Pacelli to my satisfaction. I can't do much about your unmet expectations other than to say "life isn't fair."
Regarding your non-definition of "alter Christus," once again we see the trampling of the language and the misdirection of what is, for all intents and purposes, plain English.
Here's a nifty little thread, a Catholic caucus, no less, by Father Kenneth Baker wherein he tells us exactly what "alter Christus" means to him...
"...Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ. Through his ordination he has been granted the amazing gift of being a channel of divine grace for the eternal salvation of those he come into contact with—both in his official ministry and in his personal life."
Surely someone as erudite as yourself, so knowledgeable about history and etymology, can see where this business of being "another Christ" in the guy's professional AND "personal life" might cause a little confusion on the part of a young child and on the man himself.
The child sees someone he's been told is Jesus Christ standing before him, requesting some special attention during his "personal life." And certainly "another Christ" must feel he's "entitled" to whatever diversions tickle his fancy.
Privileges and perks of the collar, no doubt.
This is such an egregious lie it's difficult to believe otherwise sane men and women would buy into this insanity.
And yet, here you are.
Do you have children?
I have condmned the archbishop in stronger terms than anyone else on the thread,
Do you really think so? Really?
Sorry if you need chapter and verse to recall Elijah’s conversation with God and how parables run. If your scriptural knowledge requires this, perhaps spending some time outside of Paul would be good, though in fairness you were not the one saying that I was ignoring scripture.
See you back on the Luther thread some time—no defense of your position on Pacelli is needed, because Pacelli is a tangent that you brought up rather than addressing the argument.
I have a four year old that needs cuddles.
