Blog pimping and cult pimping in one singe thread. When do the Roman Catholics realize they gave been hoodwinked by the master deceiver? This guy "gets off" because he can wear bright clothes and smell incense!
But, this is a story that supposedly presents Roman Cultism in a positive light, while admitting that not everybody is as gullible... His wife has gone from Roman apostasy into cultural apostasy! He has a "religion", not a relationship with Christ!
In these propaganda pieces NYer keeps putting out I never read about one key aspect of these "conversions". All I read about is someone from another denomination joined the catholic denomination.
No mention if they are Christian or how they came to know Christ.
I can't tell you how many articles I've read about identifying with the catholic church; but very, very few, if any, where anyone identifies as a Christian.
There is a difference.
You certainly have my prayers.
How do you know what this man’s prayer life is like?
Dude, you’re drinking way too much coffee
I’m not a fan of the deaconate; it should be reserved as one of the steps towards the priesthood. As these guys age and are widowed, some want out so they can re-marry. It just seems to be a role where men can “have it all” (dress like a priest while they have a family); women resent it, and are accommodated by getting to play “priestess” - defiling the Eucharist by distributing It.
Defenders point to the early Church for justification; if that is the case then let’s go back to those days and allow Latin Rite priest to marry as their Eastern Catholic brethren do.
