That's too broad.
It's the folks to stand up to their heavy-handed tactics and put their noses within inches of them!
6.) Failed to defeated the PROTESTant horde.
And that's why the world doesn't have to worry about them at all these days...
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
Catholics have FULLY embraced...
Arabic numerals over the Roman numerals that the early church used.
And PROTESTants are supposed to be the heretics?
Oh??
It is SO hard to be grateful to those who show SO much arrogance in demanding it!
Can you re-state that using a TRUE Catholic dichotomy for us?
The easily offended one will whine in public about the slight that has been served them?
Like the proverbial tree in the forest...
If the RM is mentioned, but not pinged, does he(she?) still read it???
No one EVER notices that I've mispeled a wurd when I am TALKING to them...
Another Catholic invention.
How does that footnote change things? All it tells me is that JPII has correctly “interpreted” Vatican II which taught contrary to the Traditional Catholic Faith.
I don’t agree with metmom’s religion, but every time she posts that picture, I sit here nodding my head. That picture should make EVERY Catholic ask “WTH?”
“St” JPII kissing the “holy” book of the diabolical religion of Mohammed. Pathetic at best.
Two things:
1. It’s been said that that picture shows him showing thanks and respect for a gift. This you obviously disagree with (and I do too by the way.)
2. It’s never been actually proven, to my knowledge, that that book is indeed a copy of the Koran. I have also heard it said that it was a copy of the Bible given to him by a Coptic cleric. The only “proof” that it’s a Koran is blog post after blog post after blog posts merely claiming it was the Koran. I’ve never seen an article from an accredited news source that independently verifies it was the Koran. I’ve looked. If you can find such a source feel free to share it.
So until and unless it’s shown differently I’ll believe #2. Even then I’ll have the right to disagree as in #1. Don’t fall into the Protestant/non Catholic trap that demands perfection from Saints (while on Earth). No one has ever said a Saint now in Heaven didn’t make a mistake while on Earth. After all a Saint isn’t someone who never sinned. Probably someone who sinned 100 times, but confessed his sin 101 times.
This isn't just a "mistake". This is another example of his MANY actions wrt VII's false ecumenism. He taught the Church through his actions that these actions were Catholic in nature. I wonder how many Catholics he has taught that it's ok to kiss the book of a false religion.
Let me be clear I agree that was a mistake on his part but again, a mistake even an ongoing one doesn’t prohibit him from being a Saint.
I mean we know that declarations of Sainthood are considered infallible. So are you saying he was erroneously “made” a Saint (and thus Francis is not a valid Pope)?
And thanks for this. I’ve never been able to find it.
I have said I was a sedevacantist here before (hence the reason why I am not “allowed” to post in Catholic Caucus threads). I absolutely have strong doubt to the validity of Francis’ papacy.
Everything you all take credit for God could have accomplished on His own.
It’s GOD who is sovereign and rules and reigns and provides and protects.
HE would have done it somehow.
