Thanks for proving that you are not a Catholic, not Latin rite or any other rite. Please stop the pretence. The mask has been lifted.

Thanks for showing me not to take you seriously anymore. Don’t be surprised if I don’t answer your questions anymore.

Rochester Bishop ‘Happy to Receive’ Celibate Gay Seminarians

Happy to receive?

He's a catcher.

A lot of Freepers that I have respect for seem to doubt that you are a Catholic.

After your defense of Alex Murpy threads, I now tend to believe there is validity in their doubts. After a review of some of the links provided, you seem to lack some basic knowledge of the church, yet you remain wildly critical.

I respectfully ask that you stop posing as Catholic insider.

In the USA, people believe in free speech, and I know that the truth always has an advantage. Truth always wins, it might not happen as fast as we want it, but on God's time.

I believe that the tactic of character assassination and the tactic of dumping a million one line postings of nothing, both methods used by the ignorant, who have no place in a debate, is NOT CATHOLIC. Those people who lack the knowledge of the faith, and can't defend it by debate, should not EVEN MAKE A POSTING! It is just a sign of frustration. They should go and find someone who can defend the faith, or go and study the faith and pray to God to send soldiers to defend the truth.

Now that is why I posted what apears to you to be "the defense" of Alex Murphy.

Now, on to my defense of your accusation: If you look at my Profile, you will see that I am a Catholic. If you read all the subjects that I bring forward, you will see that I always reference councils, popes, saints, doctors, dogma, fathers of the church. I try not to speak myself, but let the CLEAR writings of all of Church antiquity speak directly.

If there is something that I wrote that makes you doubt my Catholic Faith, then bring it forward.

If I remember correctly, you were an altar girl, so, that means that you are relatively young, and were brought up breathing the revolutionary teachings of Vatican II. Unfortunately since you have not been taught what the Church taught for 1950+ years, most of what I write, you likely have never heard before. The post Vatican II period was/is a time of progressivist revolution, of lying novelties. You will need to start learning the real faith. Always seek truth, not friendships. :

ST. VINCENT OF LERINS (400-450 AD) CONFESSOR OF THE CHURCH

"What then should a Catholic do if some part of the Church were to separate itself from communion with the universal Faith? What other choice can he make but to prefer to the gangrenous and corrupted member the whole of the body that is sound. And if some new contagion were to try to poison no longer a small part of the Church, but all of the Church at the same time, then he will take the greatest care to attach himself to antiquity which, obviously, can no longer be seduced by any lying novelty."

re:..Pope John Paul II worked ..to bring down communism in the Soviet Union and Marxist governments in Latin America. .. Pope John Paul II…... morally undermined the Soviet Union

See the FR Thread "Resurgent Communism in Latin America" at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2683681/posts?page=1

Communism is advancing at lightning speed throughout Latin America and few if any people in the USA knows it. While Americans bask in the shade and drink their the Kool-Aid that "communism is dead", communism is advancing in Latin America like it never did during the Cold War..

Westerman told The New American that a worldwide alliance including Communist China, Islamic fundamentalism, Iran, leftist Latin American rulers and guerrillas, and other forces were all collaborating in a war against the United States, united by their “anti-human, anti-God” ideology. “[The Russians] are running the same game, just slightly different — it’s more of a franchise operation than a central corporate operation, if you will. But if you take Russia out of it, the whole thing collapses.” Indeed, the Russians have been supplying advanced weaponry to regimes like Chavez’. Russian National Security Council Chief Nikolai Patrushev actually attended the most recent ALBA summit last year. And China and Iran have both jumped on the bandwagon as well, cooperating with a variety of unsavory Latin American governments in myriad sectors and projects.

I don’t see how they could pass the two day psyche exam that is required for all seminarians entering the priesthood

Who gives the exam?

“This novelty, that a man with aberrosexual attractions, who does not follow through with the act”

It is preposterous to think that a man who suffers from same-sex attraction disorder can refrain from following through with the act for any significant period of time.
