500 years of Protestant Revolution: CHRIST THE KING is the Anti-Luther

Rorate Caeli ^ | October 29, 2017 | New Catholic

Why did Pope Pius XI, when he established the Feast of the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ with his encyclical Quas Primas un 1925, not choose for it the last Sunday of the liturgical year (as Paul VI did later for his new mass), but rather the Last Sunday in October?

The short answer is simple: Christ the King is the Anti-Luther. The Lord is not the king of this or that German princedom, changing doctrines according to the whim of the moment. He's the King of the Universe, unchanging and unchangeable. As a counter-feast of the "Reformation Sunday" Protestants celebrate on the last Sunday in October, Pius XI proposed Our Lord, King.

If y’all “know the truth” why are you all in so many different “churches”?

***

Same reason you’re in schism with your own church and picking and choosing what you like from Catholic theology instead of believing what they say even when you don’t like it.

[LukeL]

The problem isn’t doing these rituals as Paul said if eating meat causes your brother to stumble you shouldn’t eat it in his presence. If people feel a need to do these things as a means of drawing closer to God then that is fine (as long as it does not go against scripture aka communicating with the dead) the issue is when someone adds to the work on the cross.

[Luircin]

From my study, I think it’s that baptism doesn’t add to the work of Christ, it’s a gift that Jesus gives in order to believe in the work of God, kind of like how Jesus gives the Word in order to believe.

[ebb tide]

Who are you to judge that I’m in schism?

[ebb tide]

Yes you have. You did what Luther did in calling out the abuses. The only difference is that you’re not important enough to excommunicate because no one’s listening to you.

Then why are there, at this time, 164 posts to this thread?

[Luircin]

I have just as much authority as you do to judge the Pope, Dr. Luther, and me.

That and the authority of simple logic. You scream hatred at the Pope in every other thread you post. I think I remember comments about how he’s not a real Catholic.

Thus, you and he (and the church that elected him) are in schism with each other.

And how many of us are bishops and cardinals?

Oh right. No one.

So let me post a little correction. The only people who care about your hatred of the Pope are we poor Protestants who are snickering at your impotent internet RAGE.

Was St Paul in schism with St Peter?

Same reason you’re in schism with your own church and picking and choosing what you like from Catholic theology instead of believing what they say even when you don’t like it.

I practice the full and entire Catholic theology as my fathers did. It is Bergoglio, like Luther, who picks and choses what he likes and what he rejects.

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on!

Whatever the case, you and your Church are still schismed with each other. They appointed quote-unquote ‘Bergoglio’ and they seem just fine with him.

You’re not.

Therefore you’re in schism with your church. Whether or not you think you’re in the right, you’re still schismed with them.

Deal with it.

[Luircin]

Was St Paul in schism with St Peter?

So is Pope Francis St. Paul or St. Peter?

[Biggirl]

I do not believe you.

I reject what you claim.

[ebb tide]

So is Pope Francis St. Paul or St. Peter?

Neither. He's a Judas Iscariot. :)

[Luircin]

Heh. You won’t get any argument from me about that.

[Elsie]

I’d argue that infant baptism CAN be found in Scripture, but the rest of your post is quite correct.

I'm willing to look at the evidence.

[Elsie]

 Interesting...

 

Apologetics A-Z

These free sessions help Catholics explain (and defend) Catholic beliefs, practices and historical events to non-Catholic friends, neighbors and coworkers. Instructor Mike Luther presents a verse-by-verse walk through the Gospel and shows that there can never be any contradiction between Catholic teaching and Sacred Scriptures. Through lecture and lively discussions, participants learn to take a fresh look at familiar Scriptures.

Designed for those of college age and older (although some exceptions can be made for high-school students), these ongoing sessions meet monthly, typically on the last Sunday of each month after the 11:30 a.m.

Mass in the Religious Education Building on East Street. Feel free to grab a doughnut from Café Rosario and bring it with you to class!

http://www.holyrosaryindy.org/

The Holy Eucharist is offered at our three forms of the Mass:

the Ordinary Form ("English Mass" or "Novus Ordo"),

the Extraordinary Form ("Traditional Latin Mass" or "Tridentine Mass"),

and the Anglican Use.

I attended a funeral here on Monday.  And was wondering about the many diiferent things I saw that are not found in Protestant churches.

I hope that some of our FR Catholics can enlighten me a bit on what may seem to be trivial questions.

1. In the niches where Mary and Joseph are represented; I noticed one has Blue candles and the other Red ones.  What significance is there to the color difference?

2. What significance is there to the incense?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a beautiful sanctuary.

[Mrs. Don-o]

No significance to the color of candles. In our sanctuary we don't have niches, but we do have free-standing figures of Mary and Joseph on the right on the left on plinths (cool word, huh?) w/o candles.

Incense symbolizes prayers ascending up to God (as you can read in the Psalms and in the Book of Revelation, among other places) and also the dedication of a person, place, or thing to God.

For instance, in the funeral service you (probably) saw the priest circling and incensing the casket, the Easter candle, the altar, and the deacon, and the deacon incensing the priest and the congregation. If the deacon was walking up and down the aisles swinging his censer, or swinging it more or less in your direction from the steps of the sanctuary, you were incensed!! Or you might have been sprinkled with Holy Water. Full disclosure: did you get incensed or sprinkled?
