. . . I don’t know . . . interesting question . . .

Fixated at the Star Wars Developmental Stage?

A desperate inner-child-yearning for cliche’d realities?

Aged baby boomers desperate yearing for a young Luke Skywalker’s relationship with a SIMPLISTIC Master Father Figure?

Yoda infected susceptible humans through an ET network of sub-space managed extra dimensional subliminal Behaior Mod puppet training for the sheeple to make the globalist takeover easier?

It’s spring. Christmas is too far away. So instead of dreams about Santa—it’s about Yoda??

I give up. You tell me.

How sweet of you. That must count for some significant Heavenly points! Much appreciated.

BTW, thanks for the bump.

I do think that a post like that . . .

so WONDER-FULLY WRONG,

IS VERY educational.

Another great illustration of

THE RC MAGICSTERICAL RUBBER DICTIONARY.

where SAME = DIFFERENT; DIFFERENT = SAME

TRUTH = FALSEHOOD; FALSEHOOD = TRUTH

KINDNESS, THOUGHTFULNESS AND LOVE = HATRED

Very illustrative. Much appreciated.

It is a bit disappointing, however, to understand that a significant number of RC reps are evidently teaching their children/taught their children that

when they meet a Protty on the ball field . . . or in the locker room and overhear some statement that has not passed the censors of the RC magicsterical . . . that the RC child MUST ABSOLUTELY HATE ALL PROTTYS for such statements . . .

that it’s the ONLY way the RC magicsterical allows RC’s to construe reality.

i.e.

ANY UNRUBBERIZED THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT by any Protty MUST result in automatic HATRED of all PROTTYS—that’s the only alternative response allowed.

Otherwise the unhateful RC rep will have to spend several extra eternities in purgatory starching and folding Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Mary’s magical hankys.

It’s NOT SUFFICIENT to the RC magicsterical NOR to Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Mary to merely hate the statement. The class of all PROTTYS must ALL be 100% hated automatically . . . under threat of Excombobulation.

That must result in increasing numbers of very edifice-like haters. An amazing sociological, psychological, theological, relational, parenting Standard Operating Procedure. Very impressive.

Oh, and that bit about . . . when a theological statement doesn’t match the RC magicsterical’s latest RUBBERIZATION, VULCANIZATION . . . the statement cannot be described as from satan’s throne in hell—THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE WHOLE CLASS OF SIMILAR INDIVIDUALS MUST BE classed and described as from hell and under satan’s robotic rule. Very impressive.

It’s that old RCP2 problem where SAME - DIFFERENT AND DIFFERENT = SAME. To wit—statements = people’s essences . . .

—STATEMENTS ARE THE SAME THING AS PEOPLE.

—AND INDIVIDUALS ARE THE SAME THING AS A WHOLE CLASS OF PEOPLE.

Somehow, I think I didn’t get that memo, though, in my reading about the Pope’s visit. And I haven’t read that in any of his speeches.

Maybe it was in his private comments in the inter-faith meeting he had. That’s it—he must have cursed them all to hell in that little meeting after the reporters left.

That must have been one slick operation . . . all loving and conciliatory toward the other faith folks publically and cursing them to hell the minute the reporters left the group. Very impressive. I wonder how he swore the Secret Serv guards to secrecy. Maybe he had them under a Vulcanized mind meld !!!!CONTROL!!!! scheme of some kind.

Yes. I think it captures the apparent mindset of those (few) who display a knee-jerk compulsion to actively hate and disparage Christ’s Church.

MUCH appreciate your mandated blessing and permission to

assert that ALL RC’S 100% WORSHIP MARY BLASPHEMOUSLY 100% OF THE TIME.

Very gracious of you.

I don’t happen to believe that’s true but it’s nice that you give us such a PERMISSIVE MANDATE to assert such things by your model reality mangled assertions.

I guess the old outrage about Prottys assertin untrue things about RC’s has bitten the dust? Fascinating.

It's the Mary thing, for me it always comes down to the Mary thing. I could never pray to anyone other than the Triune God.

Nothing in Catholic argument is at all persuasive when it comes to praying to Mary or saints. In fact, it seems defensive bordering desperate.

I disagree with the Catholic notion of justification by works, and a few other things, and I can be persuaded at least to a point of stalemate on a few other doctrines, but for me the idea that praying to Mary or saints isn't "worship" is just ludicrous. There is no historical precedent, especially going back to the Old Testament for any kind of prayer that is not, in fact, a part of worship. Period. I'm fine with this being applied to Jesus, as I believe he is the second person of the Trinity.

However, there is simply no scriptural basis for it, and there is nothing in the history of the early church, the apostles, or church fathers that suggests it was ever done, or would have been acceptable. It is a later invention, three or four hundred years later.

My friend, after a very long week, I am guessing I have not had enough coffee this day because I am having great difficulty even understanding your posts to answer them. This is not usually the case, as normally while I don’t agree, I understand what you are saying. You will have to accept my apologies for my inadequacy today. God Bless.

You said: It is a later invention, three or four hundred years later.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn’t that put it around the same time that the Church decided the canon of the New Testament that is accepted by Christians today?

No sweat. We all have our off moments or off days.

Have a blessed weekend. I’m sure you’ll be back in great form in due course.

From the graphic in post #43

‘ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOTRY ... SATAN’S HATRED OF CHRIST IN ACTION’

= = =
I can’t recall the last time I saw any Roman Catholic FReeper post a comment that would indicate they love and revere anyone except Mary; if any Roman Catholic FReeper has made a statement recently that speaks of their love and reverence for the Lord Jesus Christ, please ping me to it.

Now, having said that, I don’t see how, quote, ‘anti-Catholic bigotry’,end quote, [SIC] has anything whatsoever to do with, quote, ‘Christ’, end quote, good, bad, loving, hating, or indifferent.

Please don’t state that FReepers who warn against the sin of idolatry are guilty of hating Jesus.

That’s preposterous.

It’s BECAUSE they LOVE Jesus (and they LOVE people) that they warn against worshipping anyone except the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

As they say in the U.S. Air Force, when you are near the target you start taking flak.
