<>If by "new year," you mean The Liturgical Year, then no. I prayed prior to Advent.
If by "new year" you mean the calendar year, then no. I prayed prior to 2002 and I plan to pray in 2003 also
But, wiseguy responses aside, I think it the case U.R. needs prayer and not "dialogue."
He continues to ping me to try and get me to respond even though over a fortnight ago I told him I would ignore him.
I was posting to several different folks at the same time and I was telling them I sould simply ignore then after what I was drafting appeared in the forum publicly.
U.R. requested I ignore him also. I told him I would. That he continues to repeatedly ping me and try to get me to respond is some indication of the confusion the schism leads one into.
The schism is poisonous. It is spiritually lethal and it causes intellectual confusion<>
I asked you to ignore me, but never promised I would ignore you. You are too easy a target with your vitriolic remarks--which are never less than personal. You will pray for me? LOL. Of all the thousands of words posted on this site, the most offensive are the sanctimonious claims by people like yourself to pray for the souls of those you actually show every sign of hating. You, after all, once called me a "son of Satan." What is this but the purest hatred?
As for what is poisonous--it is only falsehood that is to be shunned, not truth. I simply present the truth from a traditional perspective, not with the self-serving distortions that are daily promulgated by the Novus Ordo Church about so-called "schismatics." There is no schism--only the stubborn survival of traditional Catholicism in the midst of a noxious revolution. In such a climate even the Rosary has become a battleground between those who want to protestantize every last doctrine and practice and those who want to preserve intact their Catholic heritage.
