Is it "Catholic" or "Roman Catholic?" <Vanity><Ecumenical>

Posted on 02/26/2010 1:08:31 AM PST by Gamecock

So I have a question about terminology.

Some of our Catholic FRiends get upset when we Prods use the term Roman Catholic, insisting that the term is derogatory, insulting, etc.

What I would like to discuss is why do Catholics complain about the term Roman Catholic, when the term is in such wide use inside of the Catholic church?

Thoughts?

Roman Catholicism teaches that men can store up their own reserve of righteousness through good works. Roman Catholicism also teaches that this righteousness, if it exceeds that which is necessary to save someone, can be given as credit to another person.

Rome is a banking system, not a faith which correctly counts Christ's righteousness alone as being capable of saving sinners.

Making it personal is against the rules. Nobody should answer personal questions online.

I've been asked that question dozens of times. No big deal. I've even been asked if I thought my children were saved. That question seems a lot more personal than simply asking if someone has kids.

Do you have children?

Making it personal is against the rules. No one, and I mean NO ONE, should answer personal question from strangers, especially hostile strangers, online.

Do you think asking someone if they have children is a “hostile” question?

Well since she isn't asking what my name is, where I live, my email address, my sex even, I don't see what the big deal is that's being made. It seems kinda silly.

No, DrE, I don't have any children of my own although I do count my kittehs as my kids, but they don't go to church. ;o)

If you do not believe that Christ's blood payment on the cross was the totality of salvation

Of course I do. This is what makes some people saints.

That he did acknowledge the primacy of the Bishop of Rome, in the preamble and then chapter 3.

Please refer to my post 361. I don’t know why you didn’t answer it.

Why is Dr. Eckleburg allowed to continue personal questions of posters who don’t wish to answer them?

Not at all. But it is a personal question from a hostile questioner.

Antagonism is not permitted, nor is making the thread "about" any poster.

How is whether or not I have children germane to a conversation about protestant ministers time and time again molesting children in their care? Catholics don't leave their children with such men, therefore, your logic doesn't follow.

The hell about children - I want to know to know if the good doctor has cats, and if so, where she got them from. Looks like her pet choice is superior to everyone else's too - since she claims cats "clean after themselves." If hers actually do I'll convert to whatever she's pushing - I'm sick of stepping into a vomit puddle mine leave as a good-morning gift.

Would love to wait for an answer, but I have to go down to my Holy Roman ATM and withdraw some indulgences - got a decadent weekend coming up!

I swear, I just love these threads - there’s an awful lot of entertainment value inherent anywhere people who can’t understand simple concepts (’Animals who randomly puke are so clean!!!!’) try to explain theology that they’ve only “learned” thru the filter of someone else’s hate propaganda.

Agreed, and you made me laugh. It’s hard to beat that on a late winter morning. :)

I have children and I'd never leave them with an errant minister (or office worker or volunteer, the ranks from which RCs draw their comparisons with errant priests.)

The question then is why would any parent entrust the lives and safety of their children to any priest, a man who abstains from a normal, functional life to live sequestered with other men, many of whom are pedophiles?

So the question of whether or not one has children is germane because the answer is either from a hands-on, personal experience perspective or just a hypothetical musing.

And with kids, very little is hypothetical.

Do you have children?

This repeated (what, 10 times now?) questioning is aggressive and hostile. Again I will ask the religion mod why he/she allows this this sort of antagonism to continue.
