First, I hope your posts amuse you because they are really not funny or clever, only flippant, condescending and disrespectful.
I have seen your consistent posts about bad popes and the lack of understanding of inerrancy, infallibility, the continuing role of the Paraclete, and the Magisterium, however I am not going to debate you on these issues, because I really do not care what you do or do not choose to believe. I have no time for those who choose to focus on and revel in what divides us as Christians rather than rejoicing in what unifies us.
Catholics will continue defend the office of the Pope without defending any of the Popes. No Pope is impeccable, they are men and all men sin. However, no Pope, in spite of his personal flaws, has ever failed to act faithfully to the guidance of the Holy Spirit on pronouncements of matters of morals and faith. That is a testimony to to God, not to Popes.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us." - 2 Corinthians 4:7
“I have no time for those who choose to focus on and revel in what divides us as Christians rather than rejoicing in what unifies us.”
I have had this very thought so many times and because of that I spend much less time here now. I’ve grown weary of the re-hashing and re-cycling of old grievances, the way Christians are addressing one another, the “I win, you lose” way of dialogue and even a certain kind of spiritual haughtiness.
I’m happy that I chose to become Catholic 65 years ago. I am grateful to worship the Lord in my Catholic life. And I see the need to show respect for those who have chosen to worship Him outside of the Catholic Church. He is the same Lord to us all.
I have so often thought about how I have given my life over completely to the Lord Jesus and live in the “sacrament of the moment” of His presence in my life. I can believe Him totally when He says that anyone who comes to Him He will not cast out.
Therefore, I am united-—or should be-—in a wonderful and mysterious way to ALL my brothers and sisters who have given themselves completely into His hands.
While yours are highly spiritual; deeply thought out; and approved by Rome.
Yet you waste your time writing to me.
Strange...
Of course you will: what else ya gonna do?
The wonderful system that produces bad popes produces NO bad theology.
Yeah... Sure...
I kind of get a kick out of them also.
>> only flippant, condescending and disrespectful.<<
ROFL Now that right there is funny I don’t care who ya’re.
>> because I really do not care what you do or do not choose to believe.<<
Yet here you are, day after day ridiculing those who don’t follow the RCC. Interesting that.
