"Celebrate Pride Month with the St. Ignatius Community!"
Hey man, when buggery DOES, at least SOME of them tell the buggerers to cut it out...
...really...who is ‘them’ in this sentence...? You’ve been nattering on for quite some time about the commendable de-centralized structure of Protestantantism, with its lack of authoritarianism...so who exactly is ‘them’ you’re referring to here, and what gives ‘them’ the authority to tell anyone to knock anything off...
...like I said, you’re apparently quite the renowned scholar, so I’m sure that’s exactly what ‘Rome’ says...
Christ gives them the clout they need.
Er, Larri? Can we talk? Ya see here, not everyone shares yer, uh, sense of humor...
“Don’t dodge — you’re lumping the whole group calling itself “Protestant” in one basket.”
I never do that. Ever, with regard to any subject. Sometimes I don’t bother to type in lengthy disclaimers, in the (often vain) hope that my respondent will display common sense, because we all known that there are exceptions to just about every rule.
“Sauce for goose = sauce for gander.”
It doesn’t surprise me that you fail to understand the core concept of that saying. You see, when the sauce for the gander is a false accusation, the whole thing just becomes a tawdry, tiresome, vain, meretricious playground taunt.
“Redundant”
Only when the level of theological sophistication hovers around that of a six-year-old.
“Well some think Luther’s zeal was a-Door-able.”
Well, he sure got a lot of people killed. I wonder how that number—that is, the total number of people who were killed as a result of the protestant heresy—stacks up against the number of people killed in the Crusades.
I have a vague impression that the Crusades killed more, but I never checked it out.
“Welcome to MY world!”
The fact that I see why you are wrong does not mean that I fail to understand any of your positions.
Killed by whom? There IS the old saw about being faithful unto death.
Deny all you want.
You’d be shocked to hear the lives of some of the early disciples of Christ. St. Paul after whom Churches are named and whose Epistles are read as part of the Bible was a witness to the stoning of the Church’s First Martyr- St. Stephen and was once a mass killer of disciples of Christ. We have fallible men but infallible doctrine.
“Killed by whom?”
That would be interesting to look at as well, if it were possible to find an objective history.
“There IS the old saw about being faithful unto death.”
And you don’t see how that is irrelevant to the subject at hand?
“Deny all you want.”
There is no fault in denying that which is false.
This is not a serious post. Compared to Catholic theological intellectual thought, the rest look like retards. Augustine, Aquinas, Henry Newman, Benedict XVI. No wonder the Chief Rabbi of Rome converted to Catholicism and essentially said that Protestantism is a bunch of junk!
They do it ALL the time.
So what?
Rome has a centralized authority structure and we're still waiting for THEM to tell their pedophile priests to knock it off instead of just shuffling them around.
Well, they’re certainly entitled to their opinion.
We’re just asking them to stand on Christ too and rebuke the nonsense while forthtelling a message of salvational love that can and will redeem them from their sins. Evangelicals do it from the bible, and Rome says it has a lot more than the bible so why is it so hard for them? I’d be tickled pink to see them once more not just have a form of religion, but to embrace the power thereof.
It looked a whole lot like rabbinical Pharisaism... I don’t doubt it. Out of frying pan, into fire.
Something about Christ alone just pushes them over the edge.
It’s rather telling, what people’s reactions are to Jesus.
You can certainly tell what they’re trusting in by their reactions.
