It will be beautiful.Congrats dmz :)
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. The Catholics are models of discretion compared to you fundys. You fundys seem to attack everyone, cognitive dissonance must really be painful.
Oh, hahaha.
Oh, sure.
I just get tired of their whining victimhood, LOL.
Thank you for reiterating my words. LOL
Yes, it IS real and coming mostly from Catholics...

And btw, there is no indication anywhere that priests are Jesus Christ like you represent time and time again. Thousands of Church documents and whole Catechism for you to pore over, and you have nothing which teaches priests are Jesus Christ . This must burn you up because you use this bogus "priests are Jesus Christ" argument to concoct the ole "no wonder priests are able to abuse children, the kids are taught that he's Jesus!" charade. I've seen you defame priests like this in the past, and I'm sure I'll see you do it again. But if you are really looking for Jesus (body, blood, soul and divinity) I'll give you a hint: don't look at who is standing at the alter, but look in the tabernacle instead.
What you don't understand, Eckeburg, is that the people you debate about Catholicism know what the Catholic Church teaches and represents. We attend mass regularly, sometimes daily. Many of us have been in Catholic schools our entire lives, been taught Catechism by nuns and priests, and some even have attended the seminary. We have family members and close personal friends who are priests and nuns. The Catholic Church is part of our routine, part of our every day lives, part of our culture. You telling us what we believe and what we have been taught is beyond bizarre.
And we know your agenda.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

No problem.
I figure if I string together all those charitably Christian comments which so enrich the conversation while adding layers of penetrating insight, they can be an inspiration to us all.
You continue to post gibberish. And now it's nasty gibberish. Roman Catholic apologists seem incapable of discussing these issues without resorting to name-calling and personal invectives.
The papacy proudly refers to its priestcraft as an "alter Christus" - "Another Christ."
No matter what the intent, shading or nuance, that title for any man but Jesus Christ is truly "sickening."
Repent of it.
I don't tell you what you believe. You tell us what you believe and we Bible-believing Christians are dismayed by what you tell us.
What I do tell you is what Scripture says and why what you believe is incorrect, according to the word of God.
All very telling.
Be sure to tell us when and if you ever find where Crimen Sollicitationis has been rescinded or nullified. And along those lines you might tell us what you think was changed because the rest of us see no change whatsoever. The Roman Catholic church still protects pedophile priests and Roman Catholic apologists still turn a blind eye toward the truth.
The amazing thing is how anyone who shines just the tiniest bit of light on the Roman Catholic church is immediately attacked, belittled and made out to be a Catholic basher.
Started with the “Orthodox schism” on through Luther and the Reformers and continues today.
They don’t want to talk about the issues. Instead they resort to covering their tracks and claining victim status.
Jsut amazing.
When we speak of consecration without any special qualification, we ordinarily understand it as the act by which, in the celebration of Holy Mass, the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ. It is called transubstantiation, for in the Sacrament of the Eucharist the substance of bread and wine do not remain, but the entire substance of bread is changed into the body of Christ, and the entire substance of wine is changed into His blood, the species or outward semblance of bread and wine alone remaining. This change is produced in virtue of the words: This is my body and This is my blood, or This is the chalice of my blood, pronounced by the priest assuming the person of Christ and using the same ceremonies that Christ used at the Last Supper. That this is the essential form has been the constant belief and teaching of both the Eastern and Western Churches (Renaudot, "Liturgiarum Orientalium Collection", I, i).
Now we know that the pope is the REAL stand in for Christ..but each time he says mass the priest is christ..
Kind of reminds me of that seal posted on FR . . . of the DNC.
Thank you, RnMomof7.
Roman Catholic apologists say whatever the discussion seems to warrant, whether it's true or not. It's a very schizophrenic, imprecise religion that actually teaches priests become an "alter Christus" - "another Christ."
Be prepared to be called names. Some don't take kindly to being proven wrong again and again.
Some people spend more time whining about name-calling than they do fact-checking their information.
