B-16??
I must be uninformed or dense this evening.
Have long expected Houston to get nuked . . . probably from jihadi’s first. Sigh.
Have loved ones in the area.
Plenty of Freepers, too.
Can you comment on the configuration of the cross used to crucify St. Peter and how you know what the orientation of the cross used to crucify Jesus?
Awww shucks (blush, blush, blush).
That video link you posted on the illuminati was awesome. I’ve been entralled for 90 minutes now! I’m still stunned, particularly that segment on the Bohemian Group. OMG!
You should watch Quix’s link. An upside down cross isn’t even scratching the surface!
Beware of the hobgoblins, gremlins,UFO’s
SIGNS...and Ooompa Loompa’s
and area51 illuminati aliens
Then may I assume the bishop worshipping Ganesh has been defrocked? WTH is that?
WERE part of being the key phrase. Were, as in past tense, used to be.
Sad to say the RCC as it exists today wouldn't be recognized by the church fathers. THEY would be protestant today. Their writing far more frequently lines up with Protestant belief than they will ever line up with the heresies practiced by the RCC which THEY condemned already. Since they have already condemned the RCC I don't have to condemn anyone. You guys are doing a fine job all by yourself!
You would know this if you got away from Catholic agologetics once in a while and actually read them apart from said same apologetics groups TELLING you what THEY said rather than reading it for yourself.
Why is Quix’s abusive behavior tolerated on this forum? Why do the moderators run cover for him and his abusive behavior? He recently posted a thread blatantly stating that Pope John Paul II, a pope beloved by millions of Catholics and most Catholics on this forum, was seen in Hell.
If Catholics posted this kind of abusive thread, or these stalking posts, we would be summarily banned.
Why is his malicious behavior condoned on this forum?!?
We as Catholics are very lucky we are still here. We could be the next group to be swept.
Understand, some people have privileges that we do not.
I just lay low.
The Bible doesn't say. Doesn't say about Peter either for that matter. Peter's type of cross tends to come from church tradition. His is somewhat of an aberration so not sure how accurate the account is.
Christ on the otherhand is known by looking at Roman history. There were 3 types of common crosses generally used by the Romans, in some cases 4, but generally 3. P.S. I once took a graduate level Roman history course in college and passed with an A grade. I remember this being discussed in class. Following are the common 3 types:
The cross on the left was called a “high tau” cross because it was shaped like the capital Greek letter tau (“T”). Also referred to as the crux commissa or St. Anthony's cross.
The middle cross was known as a “low tau” cross, shaped like the lower case tau (“t”). Also referred to as the crux immissa or Latin cross. This is the one commonly believed to have been the cross of Christ based on the 1st century writings of Josephus.
In both cases the central post, or crux simplex, was generally set permanently in the ground while the cross bar was carried to the site by the victim.
The cross on the right was an actual tree still in the ground (dead or alive) with its limbs serving as the cross bar.
On rare occasions there would be a cross (not depicted above) shaped rather like an "X" often referred to as the crux decusssata, or St. Andrews cross. But this one was not very common. The only instance of a 'tau' cross being turned upside down for crucifixion is found in church tradition regarding Peter and was a special request the Romans acquiesed to. How accurate that tradition is I can't say.
At some point, you just have to speak the Truth, and leave the rest in God’s hands. See my last post above. Which may well be my last post, period. Who knows...
Here’s one from the thread “How the Reformation Changed the Church:

Oh, yea. I had enough of the Know Nothings that night. There is a real nest of poisonous spiders on the religion forum.
Blasphemy is a very grave sin. I have come to the conclusion that Protestants of the ilk that frequent these threads have no shame and will not hesitate to tell the most odious falsehoods.
I could give a flip what an ANTI-WORD person thinks.
Yes it has become obvious that certain elements can write the most blatant abuses and no moderator will intefere.
