Would culling your posts expose an opposition to capital punishment?
"Judge not lest ye be judged"?
You're having to resort to trotting out the quoting Scripture out of context crutch. You're too proud to admit that you're unarmed in this battle, Robert. There's quite a bit of difference between stoning an adulterer to death and judging behavior. Too bad you don't realize that.
"And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?" Luke 12:57
"And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6
House arrest over heliocentricity was not just.
That's your opinion, Robert. Galileo committed fraud and in todays parlance breach of contract. Fraud is a crime that's punishable even in our contemporary culture. I doubt Bernie Madoff is living out his live in an Italian villa. It's already been well established that you're in over your head on the topic of Galileo. Quit digging that hole you're in.
It was brutality and don't quote any Catholic writings saying he was well cared for.
Those are Galileo's writings that I quoted and he felt his treatment was so brutal that he wrote to others about how well he was treated.
Given the choice between believing you and Galileo, I'm believing Galielo.
You'd be better off sitting in the corner in your jammies reading a Dan Brown novel.
Same experience for me too!
In 12 years of Catholic school I never saw a bible read any where in school. We never read the bible in religion class.
The only time we were exposed to scripture were the several verses read at church. I assume our religion class books did have some verses, but anyone carrying a bible would have been looked at very oddly.
Which means they must go to Confession and receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily and do the penance before they can receive Communion worthily.
I agree with your one word analysis: parents.

How long were Adam and Eve in the garden, before Satan showed up? After all, they did have access to the Tree of Life, didn't they?
Personally I don't think they were there for billions of years. I think it is more likely that, just as God created adult human beings, He probably created an "old" earth and universe. He could have done it, couldn't He? Anyhow, I consider myself a scientist (PhD in molecular biology, published research...) yet I believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis.
That is extreme but unsurprising as RCs have great liberty to make Mary part of the Trinity - almost. Though she is holy and is to be notably revered in regard to her person and place, as certain others are, she is rather marginal in the gospels and what Catholics attribute to her goes way beyond what i written (cf. 1Cor. 4:6). But RC doctrine is not dependent on Scriptural warrant.
We have told you this before, I’m sure.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were all present at the creation of the world. Read Genesis.
In advance, they saw Mary — remember there is no time with God — and she was picked as the mother of God the Son when he would become human. She was protected from original sin at that time.
There ya go! Right here on FR!

How do you know the interpretation of 2 Pet 3:15-16?
Rome has not infallibly interpreted it. Don’t tell me your using your private interpretation!
Yep, more than a couple of centuries older. It is about 6,245 years old, give or take a decade or two, according to my preacher.
So, what you are saying is that Moses, Isaiah, Daniel, John, Paul... were all Catholics?
You are always a Catholic. Come home.
AND the papists received it from The early church.
And many other converts!
One of the things de Tocqueville points out is the connection between the policies of America, individualism and freedom and with the foundation of the family. He tracks the growth rate of the American population through the years, and uses the argument of their large sizes that the Americans valued freedom above the other things.
It’s why he argues for American exceptionalism in opposition to Malthusian ideals in Europe.
As the US has taken on a more European living standards, we’ve seen the introduction of income tax and the massive outgrowth of socialism in the last 100 years.
Again - look at the names cited in Lambeth. They single out a specific American (and they aren’t dumb about this), who counters de Tocqueville’s argument the same way you do here - that a low birthrate is beneficial to the economy. No, no, it’s not.
It’s oddly convenient that all the ex-Catholics have this same background where the Nun magically ‘snatched the bible away’.
I’m sorry, I just don’t believe that to be the case. I teach for a Catholic school. We have bibles available and I teach with them throughout. I’m looking at the history and there’s no evidence of any concerted movement let alone nuns removing books from the schools.
I’m sorry, I just don’t see evidence that supports your observations.
Are you saying John and Paul were all Presbyterians? Perhaps they were the Church of England.
