Testimony of a Former Irish Priest

[Quix]

Amen. Both are plantation mentalities, built on the backs of people who want to be led. Who desire to be told what to do, think, say, and believe. Both depend on the ignorance of their members in order to survive. Both hold out false hope, and threats of banishment for those who do not follow in step. Both convince their followers they are the true answer and there is no other way to survive. Both use secrecy to hide their true intent. Both invent new and improved versions of themselves when light is shown to their dark deeds. Both depend on darkness for their survival.

PLENTY TRUE.

Has bearing false witness become a

NEW STATION OF THE WHITE HANKYS?

I’m losing track. Guess I should write all this down.

[small voice in the wilderness]

They not only move the goal posts, they change the game. We think it's a football game, so we get prepared for that, and halfway through, they bring out the tennis rackets and start shouting "LOVE, LOVE!!"

We need to don a football helmet, tennis racket, baseball uniforms , basketball shoes, swimming trunks, a pool stick, and a golf cart, with a jockey, to keep up with the GAME that they have invented.

He was holding a Bible when he talked about footwashing. Preaching from Titus. About good works.

[OLD REGGIE]

Nope. It's entirely relevant to a discussion of the disposition (so to speak) of the separated brethren. It also can be seen as clarifying and refining Unam Sanctam.

I am sympathetic as to the reason for your refusal to directly answer the simple "yes" or "no" questions:

Is UNAM SANCTAM Catholic Teaching?

Is UNAM SANCTAM an "Infallible Declaration"?

The simple answer is you don't know the answer and you don't care to say "I don'tknow because there is no such thing as an official list of the 'few' Infallible declarations".

Let me help you.

THERE IS NO TEACHING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH IS SO CLEAR IT CANNOT BE DENIED, MODIFIED, OR REINTERPRETED AS REQUIRED.

Your refusal, or inability, to answer these simple questions signals an end to this conversation.

[Quix]

My understanding of Scripture

is that such attitudes can prevent entry.

[OLD REGGIE]

I didn’t make it about the priest Fr. Z mentioned. You do realize that evidence will almost always be a man’s word because it was done along with CONFESSION and no good priest is interested in practicing sigilism. Thus, it will simply have to stand uncontested unless you have some compelling evidence to the contrary. Believe it or don’t believe it. What does it matter to you whether you believe it or not?

Are you suggesting the Priest violated his office by passing the information to his spy? Shame, shame!

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS

TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED IN US

TO PRESENT US BLAMELESS BEFORE THE FATHER

TO CONFORM US TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON

. . .

Maybe. Also you could leave off innuendo and get specific about whatever it is you are currently muttering about. If possible.

[Quix]

Would he follow you in praying remotely earnestly and sincerely . . .

A sinner’s prayer;

forgivness of everyone for everything beginning with those most difficult etc.

You could emphasize it’s important at this stage of his life to take care of such crucial details and give the Biblical basis for such.

[Quix]

We are equal before The Cross.

It is clear from Scripture, that there are . . . for lack of a better word . . . ranks . . . in Heaven . . . without envy, jealousy, arrogance etc.

[the_conscience]

Notice how they always trash Saint Paul to try and defend their false accusations? I’m sure many would love to see a posthumous heresy trial.

[Quix]

IIRC a recent read of a Heavenly visitation narrative included the note

that the highest ranking patriarch types were always the most servant-hearted and diligent about serving others in Heaven.

[TSgt]

When he first arrived at Hospice he prayed with my father and appeared to accept the gospel but has since been supplementing it with communions, sacraments, rosaries, scapula necklaces and requests for 30 day masses.

It’s his religion, I don’t like it but respect it. I will ensure he has a full mass as requested.

[OLD REGGIE]

You wrote:

“And his “Deathbed conversion”?”

I never said that was there.

“When you find any evidence it is a fact let us know. After all you made the claim.”

I didn’t make it about the priest Fr. Z mentioned. You do realize that evidence will almost always be a man’s word because it was done along with CONFESSION and no good priest is interested in practicing sigilism. Thus, it will simply have to stand uncontested unless you have some compelling evidence to the contrary. Believe it or don’t believe it. What does it matter to you whether you believe it or not?

No matter. You defended the claim. (See post # 282)

The "Deathbed" reference

INDEED.

[Quix]

Certainly a worthy topic.

[Quix]

DOODNESS!

AND IT AGREE.

LOL.

[wagglebee]

Notice how they always trash Saint Paul to try and defend their false accusations?

How has Saint Paul been "trashed"?

Is the understanding that Paul's epistles are commentary on the Gospels and not the other way around somehow trashing Paul?

Do you deny that Protestant theology relies heavily on Paul's epistles?

Are you aware that Saint Peter warned that Paul's epistles were difficult to understand and misinterpretation of them was destructive?
