Good thought

[MarkBsnr]

When your moral beliefs begin in your belly, and your doctrines are written by the fight that you had with your wife, or whether the boss demoted you, or whether the grass has weeds in it, what do you expect?

That's funny coming from a member of a church that believes you have to eat Jesus to have Him in your body to impart eternal life to you

Every time that you say something untrue about the Church, I think to myself that you cannot possibly top that one. Once again, you have done it. Congratulations.

and that when you had that fight with your wife, you had to go to confession again or go to hell, directly to hell, do not pass purgatory, to not collect indulgences.

Two in one sentence. You have outdone yourself. I know that you claim to have been raised Catholic, but I cannot imagine you getting this from a Christian source. As a matter of fact, I don't believe that you have...

[RnMomof7]

Amen.. love your tag line too BTW

[RnMomof7]

It does not teach heresy. It cannot. Even if its teachings were false, they would not be heretical.

LOL LOL

[MarkBsnr]

Pssss in case you have not noticed the Catholic church IS THE LEFT ...

Odd. It's only the left wing in the Catholic Church that wants us to be more like the Protestants. Those of us that believe in traditional Christianity going back to Christ and the Apostles want nothing to do with the traditions of men that have arisen from the ruins of the Reformation and the rubble of the Restoration.

When it comes to Christian belief, you guys are the left wing and the only thing separating you guys from the LDS is the fact that Joe Smith was thrown out of the Presbyterian church because he was too unstable even for them, and he held a grudge.

[MarkBsnr]

WOW! Papists are more lest than the rest of America.

Interesting. And to what do you attribute that more lest?

[MarkBsnr]

Well, I'm not a girl and I love cat pictures.

Your cat has gotten hold of your best teeth again...

[MarkBsnr]

Drip drip drip

Is this part of the prerequisite of admission to the ranks of the antiCatholics?

[muawiyah]

American slavery continued for LESS THAN A CENTURY ~ beginning in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris and ending in 1865 with the 13th amendment.

Prior to that time it was English and Spanish slavery.

The judge said she had received the letter, not the prosecution and didn’t know whether it was true or not. It was the defense that went off but didn’t dispute what was said.
The only person that should be removed is the defense attorney for his admitted conflict.

[smvoice]

Mark, I’m curious about those numbers, too. Why would Obama garner more support than McCain from Roman Catholics?

[Boogieman]

“Six from all over the country over a period of years.”

Not even. Six from all over the WORLD. CC had to find two from Australia to get a respectable list together I guess.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

“Six from all over the country over a period of years.”

Not even. Six from all over the WORLD. CC had to find two from Australia to get a respectable list together I guess

Thank you. How right you are.

[muawiyah]

There's no admitted conflict at all. The judge said she has a letter that she has not shared. She proposes on that basis that the counsel might leave the case.

The trial isn't even under way. Plus, the judge just swapped places with the prosecutor. The defense lawyer would have been more than justified to file a complaint with the state supreme court!

You ever see a Kangaroo Hop?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I knew an abuser that was reassigned to a small community hospital without a peds floor.. but he found a young man there anyway

That's horrible...

[Boogieman]

“...and wrote the KJV.”

That’s nonsense. King James merely authorized the translation, at the request of bishops and theologians. There were 54 scholars involved in the translation, but King James wasn’t one of them. I think he was probably too busy, you know, kinging.

[muawiyah]

BTW, in American, but not European and Congolese jurisprudence, silence in the face of an accusation does not mean "yes" and cannot be taken as a sign of guilt.

The lawyer clearly criticized the judge for attempting to blackmail him into leaving the case (does she fear him winning the case?) Whether or not he admitted to being a child molester or other kind of tutti-fruitti is a different issue, and should be referred to a trial, not a judge to counsel discussion in a hearing on an entirely different matter.

You begin to see why these guys get off so easy ~ too many judges not interested in running a regular trial from beginning to end. Going after their lawyer is mickey mouse stuff. If he needs gotten he can be gotten at another time.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

In my day (I'm 79) many familys sent at least one son to Jr. Seminary because the 12-13 year old had a "calling". These poor prepubescent boys had no real choice in the matter. I strongly believe it is from among the "graduates" of this barbaric system that many of the abusers were "manufactured".

Poor kids...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Take a look at the water boarding they had to do to try to get her back to the catholic church

Thats what they would have to do to me

And with Gods grace I would still not renounce the gospel ..that is something Catholics can not understand and never could

AMEN!

"Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?" -- Acts 11:17

[count-your-change]

A complaint against the judge? For what? For telling everyone in court she had received a letter of unknown veracity? And pointing out the obvious? That the defence advocate cannot be both a witness and an advocate in the trial?

Maybe the defence is trying to lay a foundation for a mistrial if he is not allowed to do both.

Anyway, the trial will probably go forward despite all the whining about bias and anti-catholicism by the defence.
