In the name of bi-partisan ecumenicism...

Jim Robinson is a bit tired of Religious folk bashing each other, and he's let it be known in a recent thread.
So, in the name of bi-partisan ecumenicism I offer lighthearted thought. I am a Southern Baptist and I see things a certain way. But I've fashioned some compromises in the form of alternative song titles:
"I Wish They All Could Be Southern Baptist Girls".
or, "I wish they all could be Pentecostal Girls".
How about "I wish they all could be Calv'ry Chapel Girls".
No, well then, "I wish they all could be Plymouth Brethren Girls".
Ok, why not "I wish they all could be Presbyterian Girls"
Too Reformed, huh? Well, why not:
"I wish they all could be Roman Catholic Girls".
Then again, since so much is happening over in Iraq:
"I wish they all could be Middle Eastern Girls" --------------
On the other hand, maybe you want to keep your mind on missionary work:
"PREACHIN' U.S.A."
"PREACHIN' SAFARI"
"SIDEWALK PREACHIN'" ---------------
Back to Iraq:
"HELP ME, RUMSFELD (GET HIM OUT OF IRAAAAAQ)!
Okeedokee. Have a good morning, then.

My favorite recording of all time is "THE WARMTH OF THE SUN" by the Beach Boys. Now, I could change that to THE WARMTH OF THE SON", huh:-)

Catholic teaching
According to Catholic theology, the abasement of the Word consists in the assumption of humanity and the simultaneous occultation of the Divinity. Christ's abasement is seen first in His subjecting Himself to the laws of human birth and growth and to the lowliness of fallen human nature. His likeness, in His abasement, to the fallen nature does not compromise the actual loss of justice and sanctity, but only the pains and penalties attached to the loss. These fall partly on the body, partly on the soul, and consist in liability to suffering from internal and external causes.
As to the body, Christ's dignity excludes some bodily pains and states. God's all-preserving power inhabiting the body of Jesus did not allow any corruption; it also prevented disease or the beginning of corruption. Christ's holiness was not compatible with decomposition after death, which is the image of the destroying power of sin. In fact, Christ had the right to be free from all bodily pain, and His human will had the power to remove or suspend the action of the causes of pain. But He freely subjected Himself to most of the pains resulting from bodily exertion and adverse external influences, e.g. fatigue, hunger, wounds, etc. As these pains had their sufficient reason in the nature of Christ's body, they were natural to Him.
Christ retained in Him also the weaknesses of the soul, the passions of His rational and sensitive appetites, but with the following restrictions: (a) Inordinate and sinful motions are incompatible with Christ's holiness. Only morally blameless passions and affections, e.g. fear, sadness, the share of the soul in the sufferings of the body, were compatible with His Divinity and His spiritual perfection. (b) The origin, intensity, and duration of even these emotions were subject to Christ's free choice. Besides, He could prevent their disturbing the actions of His soul and His peace of mind.
To complete His abasement, Christ was subject to His Mother and St. Joseph, to the laws of the State and the positive laws of God; He shared the hardships and privations of the poor and the lowly. (See COMMUNICATO IDIOMATUM.)

So, basically what your sayin' is it was the addition of humanity, and NOT the subtraction of diety?:-)

Which kenosis theory do you believe? I would say that he gave up eternal life for us. When he died, he really died until God the father raised him up again and gave him eternal life once again.
Joh 17:5 And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

I would say "yes", but around these parts making such simple statements without a boatload of caveats and clarifiers seems unwise.
