Anyone know the number of a good exterminator?
I seem to have bats in the belfry.
“And this qualifies as civil discussion how??”
How is it uncivil? Did I mention anyone by name? Did I say anything that is untrue? No.
“Everything I post I document....and in many cases it is pulled from catholic sources and uses recognized documentation formats unlike some users.”
Sadly, we are sometimes not allowed to document all truths here in the forum. I have one or two examples of what I mentioned on my profile page.
“Again if catholics don’t like the scrutiny.....hide behind the caucus protection.”
There is no scrutiny. There is just anti-Catholicism coming from the anti-Catholics. If you find anything here “uncivil” you can always “hide” in Protestant threads.
Yes.
“I admit defeat...”
Of course you do.
“Anyone know the number of a good exterminator?”
.45 caliber?
Good thing Paul didn't have the mindset of some catholics on FR.
Lots of assertions made below that suggest uncivility.
Well, most normal people are bothered by lying, misrepresentations, half-truths, distortions, stupidity, foolishness, delusions bordering on mental illness, and lack of education - you know, all those traits that anti-Catholics have in spades.
As always vlad, it's been interesting.
“Any scrutiny or questions is anti-catholic in your worldview I see.”
Again, there was no scrutiny.
“Good thing Paul didn’t have the mindset of some catholics on FR.”
St. Paul would have shaken the dust from his sandals in regard to FR anti-Catholics a long time ago.
“Lots of assertions made below that suggest uncivility.”
Nothing uncivil. All of it was also true.
As I said, always interesting.
“As I said, always interesting.”
And as I said: Anti-Catholic.
I’ll ask again....what did roman catholic women do who’d had an abortion and sought forgiveness prior to this if the priest couldn’t “forgive” their sin?
As a Catholic, my opinion of where he is now is of little consequence, as it is God's decision, not mine.
As to his opinions on the OT and selected parts of the NT as not being quite doctrinal, well, it's his own invention: guess he can do as he pleased- and he did.
Funny how Catholics are criticized for reading into the Scripture what is not only explicit, but implicit as well, while Luther is deemed as some kind of hero for stressing 1 of 4 Gospels as doctrinal, and that St. Paul is so heavily emphasized- except, of course for the Letter to the Hebrews... And BTW, I never said Luther was good.
PS, Is Luther being precluded from the discussion, as were the verses from Luke? Limited Bible from Bible Christians, by the mentor who encouraged only the books which coincided with his own ideas? There is no doctrine to be heard in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke?
Abortion was considered a reserved sin: one so severe that the penitent needed, with the help of her confessor, to meet with the local bishop to decide upon the issue of absolution in each individual case.
It's sad that it takes a caucus for us to be able to share our Faith among ourselves and (what a concept!) to actually be able to discuss the article posted.
Perhaps y'all ought to stick to your "sources" , instead of antagonizing the rest of us. If you read your sources, then you'll know the answers.
So it is even beyond a “mortal” sin?
I’m not sure what it was, Jeff, but I’m with you on the caucus thing!
Ah, yes. Works. Yet another reason why Luther didn't like it. In fact, the main reason.
Look it up, FRiend: you said you have the resources.
the term "help of her confessor" means that the confessor arranged the meeting and if needed helped to explain the situation to the Bishop. They DID NOT under any circumstance enter the confessional with the penitent.
Also depending on the circumstances in many cases the priest would also speak to the father of the child to see about getting him back into full communion with the church. Depending on if he had prior knowledge of the child and the abortion.
I have noticed that there has been a radical increase in the number of threads reserved for protestant/ evangelical... etc.
Does this mean that issues can't bear up to Catholic scrutiny? That is the logical extension of your proposition.
