.- Thousands of pilgrims and faithful gathered at noon Sunday in St. Peter’s Square to pray the Angelus with the Holy Father. Before the prayer, he said that the fruits of the recently ended Year for Priests could never be measured, but are already visible and will continue to be ever more so.
“The priest is a gift from the heart of Christ, a gift for the Church and for the world. From the heart of the Son of God, overflowing with love, all the goods of the Church spring forth,” proclaimed Pope Benedict XVI. “One of those goods is the vocations of those men who, conquered by the Lord Jesus, leave everything behind to dedicate themselves completely to the Christian community, following the example of the Good Shepherd.”
The Holy Father described the priest as having been formed by “the same charity of Christ, that love which compelled him to give his life for his friends and to forgive his enemies.”
“Therefore,” he continued, “priests are the primary builders of the civilization of love.”
Benedict XVI exhorted priests to always seek the intercession of St. John Marie Vianney, whose prayer, the “Act of Love,” was prayed frequently during the Year for Priests, and “continues to fuel our dialogue with God.”
The pontiff also spoke about the close of the Year for Priests, which took place this past week and culminated with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He emphasized “the unforgettable days in the presence of more than 15,000 priests from around the world.”
The feast of the Sacred Heart is traditionally a “day of priestly holiness,” but this time it was especially so, Benedict XVI remarked.
Pope Benedict concluded his comments by noting that, in contemplating history, “one observes so many pages of authentic social and spiritual renewal which have been written by the decisive contribution of Catholic priests.” These were inspired “only by their passion for the Gospel and for mankind, for his true civil and religious freedom.”
“So many initiatives that promote the entire human being have begun with the intuition of a priestly heart,” he exclaimed.
The Pope then prayed the Angelus, greeted those present in various languages, and imparted his apostolic blessing.
Why are you adding words to Scripture that were NEVER there?
Matthew 28:19 in an accurate Bible says...
19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.-Douay-Rheims
Which says NOTHING about not baptizing infants
Thanks for the information,dear Kosta.
Where do I send the check? ;) LOL!
Pinging you to Kosta’s post #2355.
“Disciple” is the right word at Matt. 28:19.
” maqhteuw
matheteuo
math-ayt-yoo’-o
from maqhthV - mathetes 3101; intransitively, to become a pupil; transitively, to disciple, i.e. enrol as scholar:—be disciple, instruct, teach.”
Infants are not enrolled as scholars, pupils, etc. and so are NOT subjects for baptism. Disciple first, baptize second.
Try again?
Making stuff up again and adding words and translations that are NOT in Matt 28:19
If you want to get technical being a Disciple could mean teaching Infant Baptism to others-instruct ,teach
Are you a jehovah witness or Mormon?
How “indicates”? It says nothing about baptism?
The N.T. only discusses baptism being performed on those old enough to learn and embrace the word, old enough to become disciples as Jesus instructed.
Disciple first, baptize second.
NO,it's your wrong interpretation that makes you believe this. The Early Christians disagree with you.
The N.T also says the mustard seed is the smallest seed on earth. That's NOT true either.
Are you going to stubbornly insist it is because that's what is in your Bible?
Also, It's proper to ping Kosta when you use something from what he posted
“The N.T also says the mustard seed is the smallest seed on earth. That's NOT true either.”
What else is not true in the N.T., in your opinion?
Humble apologies k50, consider yourself pinged.
Thanks for the efforts, both of you.
Besides, it's irrelevant to the point at hand. I also don't deal in irrelevancies.
Ignorance is bliss.
Lots of things. :)
You don't have a page. What's the purpose of misleading here?
It must be that invisible ink that freepers use
No, I don’t have an about page, that’s why I asked you to check it. Subtle I know but it’ll come to you.
“”What else is not true in the N.T., in your opinion?””
There are many things if you read them literally
Many fundamentalist literally believe what is written instead of the meaning of what it is written for
Take a look at Deuteronomy 21:23 for instance,it says .. “for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree”
According to the Bible literalist this would mean Jesus is condemned as well. But we base our religion on the experience of the Risen Lord, which was prophesied by reading this book in a certain manner! As a result, by slavishly following “the book” while disregarding Christian interpretations of it, I find it difficult to understand how one can accuse those first Christians of “contradicting” Scripture, as if that disqualifies one from being Christian. The Bible was NEVER their first and only rule of faith! Christians found that they HAD to “contradict” the commonly-held notions to explain their cognitive dissonance that they experienced.
Before condemning an interpretation, one SHOULD look at what the first Christians did and practiced. It is possible that your own interpretations might be incorrect - since you are far removed in time and culture from the original authors of Scripture, the Apostles.

“Take a look at Deuteronomy 21:23 for instance,it says .. “for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree”
From someone who was not far removed from the time and culture:
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree”
Gal. 3:13. Guess Paul was a “fundamentalist literalist”,
etc., right? Or maybe that's not an “accurate translation”?
“”Gal. 3:13. Guess Paul was a “fundamentalist literalist””
Regarding Gal 3:13...
This is what we call typology,dear friend .It’s is how we understand the Scriptures in many cases, The O.T is revealed in the N.T and a N.T type is always superior to the O.T
Now, here is how it’s used to show Christ is Divine and Triune

And of course the Early Christians wrote abour it too
some examples....
“For if you had understood what has been written by the prophets, you would not have denied that He was God, Son of the only, unbegotten, unutterable God.” Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, 121 (A.D. 155).
“But the Son of God is the Logos of the Father, in idea and in operation; for after the pattern of Him and by Him were all things made, the Father and the Son being one. And, the Son being in the Father and the Father in the Son, in oneness and power of spirit, the understanding and reason of the Father is the Son of God. But if, in your surpassing intelligence, it occurs to you to inquire what is meant by the Son, I will state briefly that He is the first product of the Father, not as having been brought into existence (for from the beginning, God, who is the eternal mind, had the Logos in Himself, being from eternity instinct with Logos.” Athenagoras, Plea for Christians, 10 (A.D. 177).
“For Scripture as much announces Christ as also God, as it announces God Himself as man.” Novatian, Concerning the Trinity, 11 (A.D. 235).
“If of Christ; he could not become His temple, since he denies that Christ is God.” Cyprian, To Jubaianus, Epistle 72[73]:12 (A.D. 256).
You quoted Deut.:
Take a look at Deuteronomy 21:23 for instance,it says .. “for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree”
Paul said in quoting this Scripture:
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Gal. 3:13.
So while the cut and paste “From scripturecatholic.com” is interesting , it really doesn't pertain to the question of whether Paul was what you described , a “fundamentalist, literalist” does it?
And of course it doesn't say anything about Christ “ being made a curse for us”, does it?
Nor have you suggested how Gal. 3:13 might be understood if NOT literally.
Thanks anyway.
First of all, I never said or implied Saint Paul was a fundamentalist,you guessed that I might think that. I don’t believe he was!
Some of Saint Paul’s writings have important typological significance that shows that people who deny things like the Trinity are in grave error,thus I believe Paul’s writings are inspired by God for the reason to show truth in the Trinity
Secondly, what was posted from Scripture Catholic is completely backed up with the writings of Early Christians as I illustrated.
Those who deny the Trinity have NO such typology of Scripture and NO writings from Early Christians to back their heretical claims of denying the Trinity
