Gay Episcopal Bishop to Preach at San Francisco Catholic Parish
Catholic Culture ^ | 11/22/11

Posted on 11/23/2011 11:11:08 AM PST by marshmallow

A notoriously 'gay-friendly' parish in San Francisco has invited an openly homosexual Episcopalian cleric to lead an Advent Vespers service.

Most Holy Redeemer parish asked Bishop Otis Charles, a retired Episcopalian prelate, to lead the November 30 service. After serving as the Bishop of Utah from 1971 to 1993, he publicly announced that he is homosexual. Divorced from the mother of his 5 children, he solemnized a same-sex union in 2004.

>> I am hoping that this thread finds its way to The End<<

It would be naïve to think that the debate would end even if this thread did. The debate has been centuries longer than this thread. Not until Christ returns will the differences between those who strictly follow Christ and those who follow the carnal organizations of man be resolved.

However, we will always point to the Gospels as the pinnacle of God's revelation to man. We do not believe that Jesus Christ is the forerunner of Paul, as do the typical Protestant believers.

I'd like for you to let me know the next time a "Protestant" states that Jesus is the forerunner of Paul, okay? I have seen you assert this a number of times, but I have never seen any post that actually says this. You say it is a "typical Protestant" belief, so it shouldn't be very difficult for you to verify when this really happens. As a non-Catholic Christian, I can assuredly state that I don't believe Jesus is the forerunner for Paul, so you can change your statement to "some" rather than infer all do so. That is if you want to remain honest. Don't forget to ping me, okay?

OK, HOTSHOT . . .


1. SHOW ME my post where I said any such thing. I never did.

2. Evidently the Vatican Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess cult's RELIGIOUS DUTY OF OBLIGATION to BEAR FALSE WITNESS is still operating at full bore.

3. SHOW US any remotely reliable record of ANY group of PRODDYS persistently,

A) kissing the toes of such a figure;
B) lying prostrate in front of such a figure;
C) bowing and praying to/in front of such a figure;
D) gilding, dressing, parading such a figure in extra finery on special days dedicated to said figure;
E) writing poems and songs to/about such a figure;
F) developing elaborate rituals associated with such a figure;

Exodus 20:4-6 4 "You shall NOT make for yourself
a carved image,
or any likeness
of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Before which, the Vatican Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess cult stands thoroughly and relentlessly

That was my main bit of evidence . . . along with a few tiny bits of personality stuff.

Y’all would certainly be experts on that kind of insult

given the frequency with which RC’s have been known to use such allegations.

Oh wait. I could be wrong about that . . .

given that Proddys don’t play such retread games. LOL.

Though that doesn’t exactly prevent RC’s from playing that card erroneously anyway! LOL.

And I’ll at least courtesy ping them, something Catholics as a whole have been inexcusably negligent about.

I thought they might enjoy the laugh as well, considering the number of former Catholics who also grew up in heavily Catholic areas there are in that list.

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

She became the Mother of God, in which work so many and such great good things are bestowed on her as pass man’s understanding. For on this there follows all honor, all blessedness, and her unique place in the whole of mankind, among which she has no equal, namely, that she had a child by the Father in heaven, and such a Child . . . Hence men have crowded all her glory into a single word, calling her the Mother of God . . . None can say of her nor announce to her greater things, even though he had as many tongues as the earth possesses flowers and blades of grass: the sky, stars; and the sea, grains of sand. It needs to be pondered in the heart what it means to be the Mother of God.

(Commentary on the Magnificat, 1521; in Luther’s Works, Pelikan et al, vol. 21, 326)

Way to take things out of context.

Oh wait... it's you. Nevermind.

Maybe the Magicsterium can give you the context you need.

>>Matter of fact, the fastest way to get me to not do something is to tell me *everybody* is doing it.<<

Same here. Claim “everybody is doing it” and I will investigate long and hard. After bragging that the CC is the largest and longest lasting it rang pretty hollow to claim “follow the crowd” for Protestants. Then one has to wonder which of the 20,000 different denominations they think is the “crowd”.

That’s probably the most likely explanation of much of RC’s ABSOLUTELY ABSURD, FALSE, BRAZENLY UNTRUE postings.

Posting while asleep.
