Within the past 6 weeks that was done to me. Where were you guys then>?
I didn’t see or didn’t notice an instance or, a continued and deliberate series of posts, such as that.
I will defend your honor and integrity while, at the same time, say you are frequently in error (by my standards).
I believe the “some” 1000 silverlings refers to is a single individual who has made the same disenguous post time after time.
Further, I believe you know that very well. It’s perhaps time to police a few of your “out of control” compatriots even if by freepmail.
I agree entirely.
However, I think Mad Dawg spends more time than they are worth trying to write sense into their thick noggins.
JesseAM,
Thanks for bothering at all with this.
God be with you always and all ways.
Joya
I love that word. Would I be out of place if I used that single word as a reply when I felt it was appropriate? :-)
GREAT QUESTION. I’LL EAGERLY AWAIT THE ANSWER.
Please ping me if you get a meaningful answer before Jesus comes.
Some people have carved out
whole new avocations, jobs, hobbies, obsessions, . . . just to fabricate horrid hogwash against Proddys . . . at least against 2 of us! LOL.
However, at the rate you’re going, they’ll likely add you to the list. LOL.
MUCH AGREE .THX.
When I was about 8 or 10,I was sitting on the landing eavesdropping on a political discussion between my dad and some of his friends. He said "if they want to implement the 'new world order' all they have to do is try to replicate biblical prophecy and make westerners believe the end of the world is coming and that is just what those Brits are doing".
He also felt that we did not study history and learn from it,I think he was right on all counts.
That overheard conversation occurred shortly after WWll ended and I fear that my dad was right. We really need to seek and speak Truth and act in Truth while praying unceasingly and we can "overcome" but we need to stop this bickering and act as one in Christ.
I wish all my ideas were real...
Mad Dawg, this is Twilight Zone stuff...Something doesn't become real by thinking it...
But I can say that when that idea is instantiated, that is when it is "joined" to matter (whether "spiritual" or "natural" matter), I have before me Jesus Christ
I have an idea that my truck is a brand new dual wheel F350 but alas, when my head clears, it's the same of clunker than it was before the idea was conceived...
The reality is; the idea combined with matter may make a change 'in your head' but it's the same old thing you started with...The matter doesn't change...The substance doesn't change no matter how vivid the idea is...
Agreed. Imho, there is little doubt.
There is certainly some validity to that theory.
You must mean 'unless you are Catholic', because that appears to be the hallmark of Catholic Christianity on FR...
So then the question is how and to what extent is partaking of both kinds necessary. For example, would it be necessary for whom gluten provokes a nasty reaction to partake of the Sacred Body, even though the 'accidents' remain? What EXACTLY would someone who could not safely eat the "accidents" of bread be missing if he only received the Precious Blood.
Have we not heard time after time that the bread becomes no longer bread, except in touch, taste, appearance, sound and taste???
Well I'll be in good company then...
A few words from the late Dietrich Von Hildebrand comes to mind too..
“… mindful of the words of Our Lord, “I came not to send peace, but the sword” (Matt. 10:34), we should be warriors of Christ. The holy Church on earth is called ecclesia militaris (“the Church militant”). We cannot at the same time hunger and thirst after justice—an inherent basic attitude of the true Christian—and be at universal peace with the doers of evil and the unjust. The meek St. John the Evangelist goes so far as to advise the faithful against greeting heretics (2 John 10-11).”-Dietrich Von Hildebrand -Transformation in Christ, 349-350.
If that is so and this is the obvious correct interpretation - as I believe it is - then whatever further conclusions necessarily result from it, well, are the result of the most correct interpretation.
Ok, first of all I need to make a very important point:
Earlier this year I bought 12 pairs of socks, 6 of those pairs are matching socks. I threw out every other pair of socks I owned. Now I was just in the bedroom going through my sock drawer and there are thirteen socks in there and no two of them match. I believe, mathematically that’s impossible! On top of that, WHERE are the other 11 socks?!
It is in this state of mind that I respond, so be advised.
What, my dear brethren, would you have me do? Channel Cato and end every post with “Furthermore I believe the vile heretic Quix should be put down like a Carthaginian elephant”? How’s that working out for everyone else anyhow? Making lots of progress on that front are you?
Look, if I spent my time pinning down everyone who said or wrote something that confused, offended, angered or saddened me I’d never get anything else done. We pick our battles and this is NOT the hill I want to die on.
I know there are wiser minds than my own on this forum and everyone approaches each situation according to their own understanding. I understand this much about myself, if I wrap myself in the Vatican flag and charge into battle with a statue of the Sacred Heart on my right and a statue of Our Lady on my left and just let it all hang out I’ll get zotted so hard and fast I’ll leave a mark across the entire series of tubes. I have a great deal of difficulty finding a happy medium, I can either be “Humorous, Helpful and Odd” or I can be mean, nasty and self-righteous.
And I STILL won’t have all my socks!
“Furthermore I believe the vile heretic Quix should be put down like a Carthaginian elephant”
What a tag line!
Ceterum censeo Quix(otic) esse delendam!
I’m still wondering why so much of this thread has to be about one poster named Quix.
I thought that threads were supposed to be about topics and not principally about posters.
It’s getting tiresome.
This is all fine ,dear friend as long as we don't compromise our Catholic faith to reach out. Humility is the key(which we all have a hard time living out,especially me)
From the words of Blessed Saint Padre Pio ...
Humility, humility and always humility. Satan fears and trembles before humble souls. The Lord is willing to do great things but on condition that we are truly humble.-Saint Padre Pio
BTW, I enjoy how you present things in your posts. Socks-that was great!
If the idea isn't real what are you talking about? You mean making your ideas come to pass, but the idea itself is real whether or not you fulfill it. And the point was using an analogy "as ideas are real..."
The matter doesn't change...The substance doesn't change
As has been said many times, "substance" here is a term of art; it is not the same as matter.
I have an idea that my truck is a brand new dual wheel F350 but alas, when my head clears, it's the same of clunker than it was before the idea was conceived.
Your truck's matter has changed in some way every single instant that you have had it - from brand new until right now. But it is still your truck, You'd even say "I've had the same truck for five years now. But according to your "idea" of "real" this statement is not true about your truck, because its matter has changed.
