Meant to ping you on this #5500 ...
ph
Catechism of the Catholic Church
My favorite site is this one with a decent search feature,
Thanks OR, the search facility helps greatly.
>I never said that. Ah, yes, it was your citation of that passage in a reply to me that threw me off. Looks like I made a mistake. It also looks like you are so eager to have some excuse to accuse someone of dishonesty that you chose to ignore the obvious explanation and read my mind instead.
“If you can’t be truthful silence is the best action.”
That’s just shameful. An absolute disgrace. You know good and well—and you knew when you uttered that untruth—that it was an honest and extremely trivial mistake.
“Of course ignorance reigns supreme.”
Yes, yours, of Catholicism.
An adult would admit a mistake.
That’s the one I use as well ... (ty)
I have never seen the Revelation of Paul written down in such form as the Revelation of John. Why is this?
Once more, RevelationS to Paul, not Revelation of Paul. John had a revelation given to him by Jesus Christ. Paul had revelationS given to him by Jesus Christ, and was written down in one book, Revelation. Romans through Philemon contain the revelationS given to Paul by Jesus Christ.
Sorry, had it backwards. Hope no one is confused..
Oh, me also, dearest sister in Christ! But we never are "arguing." It's never a "competition" of whose understanding of scripture is "better" than the other guy's. LOL!
I agree, the point I raised about gestures also applies to prayer: "The gesture must match the Truth in our consciousness for the prayer to be effective - otherwise we are just sleep-walking or in this case, sleep-talking."
Wonderfully said, dearest sister in Christ!
True. Though when the meanness froths about, something a little stiffer comes to mind.
Like, OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
Because I am not going to accept Protestant or Evangelical resources as truthful or authoritative with respect to the teachings of the Catholic, especially when they contradict the real teachings of the Church. On the other hand, you are free to cite whatever sources you like to represent your Church.
Yes, Natural Law will even reject authentic Catholic sources linked to in a Protestant source. Apparently they get tainted in the process.
"Would you not also go to Protestant or Evangelical resources to know what they teach..."
I could but won't. I did plenty of comparative studies in college and now I really don't care what the Protestants teach, except that they don't continue to lie about what the Catholic Church teaches.
"Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up already".
WONDERFUL.
EXCELLENT.
LOVED THAT POST.
THANKS BIG.
INDEED.
THX.
“The announcement was all about Christ and His birth...She said...’Behold the handmaiden of the Lord, be it unto me as you will”...Her willingness to have what was spoken to be so. But nothing of her being saved.??????”

No, I wasn’t referring to the conception of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Immaculate Conception means that Mary, from the first moment of HER conception, was preserved from original sin. That’s when she was sanctified.
NOW NOW.
You might upset the stubbornly clueless rabid cliques with such assertions.
It is Vatican dogma and . . . drum roll. . . .
a 14th STATION OF THE WHITE HANKY AND
a magicsterical infallible divine right—
THE FANTASIZED DIVINE RIGHT, TO BE CORRECT, PRISTINELY SANCTIFIED & PERFECTLY FLAWLESS IN ALL RESPECTS IN ALL CASES ALL THE TIME, REGARDLESS!
JUST BECAUSE.
If you doubt that, just ask
Alice or The Red Queen

ALICE IN WONDERLAND SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND REALITY MANGLING!
Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
The Bible is not declared true by consensus. It’s true because God it true. It doesn’t matter if the whole world voted against God in some issue, the whole world would still be wrong.
Nice try, but not even close. What I do not accept are those "honest" protestant sources that may or may not link to an "authentic" source followed by some ignorant pastor's comments that typically go; "this is what they really said, this is what they really mean, and this is why we are going to Heaven and they are not".
Since you brought it up why don't you provide an example of a Protestant source with "authentic Catholic sources" that I have rejected. A big mouth can be a terrible burden.
There is not any implicit Scripture that supports that doctrine. Grabbing verses out of context and using them to support a doctrine which has NO basis at all, isn't Scriptural support.However, unless you just fell off the turnip truck, you should be aware that the Church holds Sacred Tradition to be on a par with Scripture.
And that's where all the error comes in.
The Church's doctrines are not all necessarily defined in the Bible.
We know that. And if it's not defined in the Bible, then it's simply presumption and not likely to be true.
It's only the Roman Catholic church's tradition that Tradition is on equal par with the written, infallible, immutable Word of God. A nice neat little system they have there. Then if you argue with them, you are in essence arguing with God.
Any time political powers want to establish themselves they claim divine appointment to back themselves up.
Any tradition or doctrine not found in Scripture is all fluff and should be treated as suspect.
