SPV -- we have a "traditional Catholic" poster who doesn't know that the Catholic Church has 22 rites (Maronite, Syro-Malabar etc.), who calls the Church the RCC, who doesn't know some of the basics of the Faith that a Catholic would know and that are not easily researched quickly with google.

We have a "traditional Catholic" poster whose only posts are attacking Catholics or pinging known anti-Catholics.

The rest of us Catholics just ignore the poster and his threads. There's no gain.

Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if this person was merely an anti-Catholic or a schismatic who is burdened with great deal of self-righteous anger. You are correct and I will also ignore him from now on.

These are all false accusations from a person that is an Eastern Orthodox,in other words, he is not Catholic. Moreover, he has no knowledge of the faith, which anyone can see by looking at his history of posting.

I responded to this "Catholic Church has 22 rites" mix up, by saying that this is elementary material. The problem was that the Eastern Orthodox were using the title of catholic as to include themselves.

Now, regarding the " who calls the Church the RCC",

This is at the heart of the perpetual pursuit of me, by this Cronos. I used a title of the Catholic Church, that makes it impossible for the FR Eastern Orthodox like Cronos to hide behind their use of catholic to include themselves, as if they were Catholic. The title comes from Vatican I and is a legitimate title for the Catholic Church. I quoted Pius XII using it. I could have just as easily quoted just about anyone using it, though it's not much used in the English language countries, here's what I wrote exactly:

NOTICE HOW ALL THE FALSE CATHOLICS, THE SCHISMATIC EASTERN ORTHODOX, ALL CAME OUT OF THE DARKNESS WITH MY POSTING # 59.

This is perfect proof of why Catholics have to PROUDLY use their entire TITLE, it can't be counterfeited by non-Catholics!

From: Mystici Corporis Christi, by Pope Pius XII (and the first Vatican Council):

The true Church of Jesus Christ is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church

Dear, Kosta 50; The_Reader_David;Kolokotronos; Cronos;ArrogantBustard,

Have the honesty to find a title for your national churches that does not hide behind what the WORLD has always identified as the Catholic Church, or a Catholic.

The Russian Orthodox represent like 64% of the total of all (the 10 separate national churches which are identified as the) the Eastern Orthodox. The Russian Orthodox are one religion that can really call itself united, and they are just 85 million people. A religion of 85 million does not dictate and re-define what THE WORLD has always called Catholic, and Catholic Church, a religion of 1100 million!

Have the intellectual honesty to find yourselves a proper title.

God Bless
