[Salvation]

The why don’t you qualify it with an “I” or in my “Bible Study Group” and give the name of the series???

I think that is what Judith Anne is asking you. Just provide something so that we might know it is legit.

Yes, I know I’m busting into the middle of a conversation, but somehow I am able to qualify all my posts with a link. Why couldn’t you do the same, voice?

The acknowledgments make it "official" Sal. If that isn't enough to curb Judith Anne's lust for calling people liars, then I cannot help her. It is legit because the acknowledgments that CAN be looked up are legit.

So your Bible study classes have websites and links? Well, aren’t you the lucky one. Mine do not. Mine have acknowledgments of the sources that are used for Bible study. Do I need a Notary? Would that solve Judith Anne’s “problem”? I didn’t think so...

It’s already been demonstrated that the information can be gathered from a wide variety of sources in the internet.

To choose to accuse someone of posting it from one specific source with no certainty of fact is just dishonest.

All we keep hearing from Catholics on this forum is about the love of Christ that they display and all the good works they do, yada, yada, yada,....

And this is how it’s displayed? False accusations that have no basis for them at all because they are not based on actual knowledge of actions or events.

Would not the Christ like thing to do be to rather give the person the benefit of the doubt and presume the BEST from the other instead of the worst?

If that’s what Catholics consider love in action, they are shooting themselves in the foot.

FWIW, smvoice DID give a source for the information.

It was this.....

-The Catholic World, August 1871, vol. xiii, pp. 580-89. The Catholic World reminding all Roman Catholics in the United States at the time of the First Vatican Council.

and this.......

-Vatican II. The Code of Canon Law. Coriden , et al., op. cit. Canon 212, Section 1.
