Who’s “Petronski?”
Sorry, I certainly misread your post.
Very sorry.
I agree with you, now.
Some of us have been praying that otherwise might be true one way or another, sooner or later.
Sounds like some
chronic RC perceptions are
still in need of a desperate overhaul. A tune-up would no longer usffice.
Calling Alamo-Girl a phony
is about equal to calling Jesus Christ a phony.
He lives that fully within and through her.
However, this, too, is . . . revealing.
Thank you so much for your insights, dear brother in Christ.
:D
To answer your question, I have never felt anything but genuinely uplifted and heartwarmed by Alamo-Girl’s expressions of Christian love...
Interestingly, a moment ago, when I returned to the main forum, the top post was,
“Pope warns Catholic youth of ‘spiritual desert’”, which included the following:
In his final mass, the pope said the worshippers’ youthful energy helped reinvigorate the church and urged them to become “messengers of love” to counter a world that was increasingly spiritually barren.
Only you and Petronski can answer (to your own selves; we deserve no answer) what makes being “messengers of love” “creepy” to you.
Excellent perceptiveness and discernment.
Thanks.
When one's priorities are Biblically straight . . .
When one's focus is God and His priorities . . .
When one acts and discerns and speaks out of a good faith heart attitude focused on God . . .
One's discernment tends to find it easy noting the obvious.
When one's focus is markedly otherwise or the opposite, even the obvious can be quite hidden . . . must as truth was hidden fromt the pharisees.
Certainly. You are quite welcome.
I can see now why Alamo-Girl admires your wisdom and good taste and why others here fear your razor shape intellect. Which of the apostate New England excuses for states are you loathe to own?
p.s. I also hate the Boston Globe, Hartford Courant and have been wondering about the Union Leader after the death of the Loebs. If we keep this up, I will have to start confession just to make room for more subjects.
It appears that this thread has enough "vigah" (a la JFK) on its own to withstand highjacking by a bit of sidebar sharing... '-)

My mother also was the last person my father recognized -- and she did "light up his life" right up to the very end.
I shared that experience of having my Dad fail to recognize me and saying, "My son is a little boy about this (waist) high"...
And, yes, I will be forever grateful that we did not inflict the reality of my mother's passing on my father's final months...
My dad was a brilliant man; I describe watching his decline as,
"Like watching the lights in a great city gradually wink out -- one by one..."
Alzheimers is, indeed, a cruel affliction. Thank you for sharing your experiences with its victims!
Alzheimers is, indeed, a cruel affliction
For sure. Was so with my mother.
BTW:
A MORE EXCELLENT WAY
by Henry Wright documents amazing success dealing with it The Lord’s way.
AMEN
Thank you, betty boop. She’s one of the most respected Christian posters on FR, blameless to a fault. I can’t understand this kind of ‘hatred’ shown to her because she loves. It boggles the mind.
I think you have it, out of the abundance of the heart.

SHE isn’t the one who is deceived.
What a way to live! I envy them.
You’re welcome, betty. I’m sure it will be a beautifully written, Spirit inspired book.
You said: SHE isn’t the one who is deceived.
All the adherents of the heresy of sola scriptura (which is the work of Satan..the father of deception) have been deceived. Not to say adherents of that heresy don’t love the Lord, but they most certainly have been deceived.
