AMEN!!!

Thank you for more evidence that what Rome teaches regarding Christ’s Last Supper is in error, and has always been denied by His church.

Ridiculous, the Catholic church is still there, it made an alliance with voodoo, good old syncretism, and that place, before and after the earthquake is the pit of hell

Rastafarianism is a nice offshot of the evangelicals in Jamaica.

They don’t get the rock right, they dont get the bread and wine right and they go back to a system of law. It is no wonder they are so confused

Father Z. is working on a litany that might be of use over here after some modification...


Litany for the conversion of internet thugs.
(private use only, and when truly irritated, and when the alternative is foul language)

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, graciously hear us.
God, the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us.
God, the Son, Redeemer of the World, have mercy on us.
God, the Holy Ghost, have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us.

Lest internet thugs be eternally tormented by all the fiends of hell, convert them, O Lord.
Lest they pass eternity in utter despair, convert them, O Lord.
Lest they come to be damned for the harm they cause, convert them, O Lord.
Lest they roast forever in the deepest cinders of hell, convert them, O Lord.
Lest they suffer the unceasing pain of loss, convert them, O Lord.

Lest devils endlessly increase their physical agony, convert them, O Lord.
Lest devils twist their bowels and boil their blood in hell, convert them, O Lord.
Lest devils use them as their toys and tools, convert them, O Lord.
Lest devils gnaw on their skulls, convert them, O Lord.

Lest the innocent be harmed by their sins, convert them, O Lord.
Lest the innocent yield to them in weakness, convert them, O Lord.
Lest the innocent be drawn into their traps, convert them, O Lord.

From faceless Facebook admin drones, spare us O Lord.
From tweeting Twitter idiots, spare us O Lord.
From from heart-hardened spammers, spare us O Lord.
From rss feed problems, spare us O Lord.
From server memory resource difficulties, spare us O Lord.

From viruses, trojan horses, and all manner of snares, Lord save us.
From wasting our time, Lord save us.
From our own stupidity, Lord save us.

St. Isidore, defend us.
St. Francis de Sales, defend us.
St. Gabriel, defend us.
St. Michael, defend us.
Guardian angels, defend us.
All the angels and saints….. GRRRRR.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Lord,
Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

V. Christ, Jesus who died for our sins.
R. Return, and return swiftly.

Let us pray.
Almighty and eternal God,
who according to an ineffable plan
called us into existence to do your will
amid the vicissitudes and contagion of this world
grant, we beseech you,
through your mercy and grace
both to protect the innocent who use the tools of this digital age
and to convert from their evil ways all those who abuse them.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Looks like a good start...

That’s Judaism-— Haile Selassie claimed he was a descendent of Solomon’s, read some history if not theology. Haiti is a hell hole, and the influence there has always been voodoo and Catholicism. Evangelicals have been going in to help them escape it

“Ridiculous, the Catholic church is still there, it made an alliance with voodoo, good old syncretism, and that place, before and after the earthquake is the pit of hell.”

Pity that some Protestants blame the poor Haitains for bringing the wrath of God on themselves. I wonder about the rich, complacent, fat, and slothful, Protestant majority in the US.

No, that has nothing to do with it. I have just learned that certain posts on here are of no value whatsoever and multi-colored/multi-fonted posts are more often than not full of bigotry and lies.

I am well aware of your ability to cut and paste, I typically just check the source and then ignore it (obviously there are exceptions for some sources that you post from, but that is another matter).

Needless to say, I am not the slightest bit interested in what anyone on “The Puritan Board” has to say about the Catholic Church, I have no doubt that they post that which they believe supports their heresy and ignore everything else.

Read some history? I lived there. I knew Rastafarians. They have complex hash and it all stems from the British Protestants being the absolute worst of rulers in founding Jamaica.

No one is "boasting of his property." Boasting would be done by the man who didn't increase his talents for the common good; instead he boasts of his own reward.

Rome doesn't understand the parable of the talents just like it doesn't understand so much of God's word.

Increase. We are commanded to increase. To increase in spiritual discernment, in obedience to His name, in faithfulness to His mercy for His salvation, in gratitude for His free gift of grace through faith, and to spread the Gospel to all men, confident that just as the Gospel has prospered our lives and families and knowledge of God, so, too, will it prosper all who are His children, "the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

It's Rome who elevates tangible wealth to something that should be draped over its pastors. Protestants believe in a Godly work ethic. Everything they do, in thought, word, and deed, held captive to Jesus Christ, their Savior, Lord and Redeemer.

The shoes of the Fisherman were not Prada.

"Your posts #33 and #41 were deleted because they broke the rules of the FR RF."

Are you back on that alternate reality thing again? Because posts #33 and #41 are still here and weren't even mine to begin with..........

Again, how are your threatening off topic posts to me not "making it personal"? Do you think that the forum rules do not apply to the elect or that you get to interpret them differently for Catholics?

But the shoes of the megachurch pastor are Gucci. His $10,000 Rolex isn't mentioned in the bible, but the hookers are.

So, you are actually dragging posts from OTHER THREADS to show that someone has made it personal? What about not dragging disputes from thread to thread?

Dr. E., if you want I would be happy to post links from threads where you had some posts removed. Stuff that would probably have gotten a newcomer banned.

Judaism? Ethiopia?

Do some real research. The few Jews there were expelled from Haiti 350 years ago. Very few if any East Africans were slaves in Haiti.

Natural Law has continued to make personal remarks about me. Incessantly. Even today in his post 159 he says, "As one who purports to know everything there is to know about Catholicism you should know..."

That is mind-reading and making it personal.

When I asked him to stop doing so, he accused me of threatening him with the rules. I explained to him that his other remarks which broke the rules had been deleted and he should stop breaking the rules.

That is not carrying over the argument. That is showing Natural Law his posts had been deleted which broke the rules, something he may have been unaware of. If he had been aware those posts had been removed, then a logical conclusion would be he continued to break the rules not out of ignorance, but spite. Who knows?

It has nothing to do with Jews living there. Marley a singer, started the religion because he believed Haile Selassie was a god. So you can't blame the Christians for it, it's related to Jewish belief if anything

Agreed. Worst of all are the posts that invite/provoke sin. For some, those posts may best be paged/skipped over.
