The Blood of Saint Januarius liquefied this year.

A rational person would want the 'liquid' in question tested; just to simply PROVE it IS blood.
After all; hasn't the Shroud been thoroughly tested in every manner imaginable?
And the 'history' channel is preparing the rest with all of their vague but 'authentic' ALIEN based programs.
Did that. Catholics didn't like what I found in there. Like Catholics and Muslims serving the same god, Catholics incorporate paganism etc.
The whole earth is the Lord's.
Well you don’t like to answers Catholics question on any thread.
What question would you like answered verga?
That response coming from a Catholic? Wow!
I don't understand that comment at all. You're the one citing the Old Testament as definitive. What is it Catholics are supposed to believe, that I don't?
Responding to Protestant ignorant disruptions is charity, not arrogance.
So in prot minds the Bible is considered a secular expert or source?
and back to #142 And of course you can cite secular experts or sources that will confirm your position
I simply showed you what God said. You haven’t shown me where He changed that.
I don't necessarily know what a "prot" considers secular. I'm not a "prot". As to the blood flowing magic trick or whatever it is I simply pointed out the scriptural reference to those who look for those "signs".
“After all; hasn’t the Shroud been thoroughly tested in every manner imaginable?”
No, it has not. The testing protocols were deliberately violated in such a way as to yield invalid results.
I never claimed that God “changed” his condemnation of idolatry.
You used passages that condemn idolatry in order to condemn practices that are not idolatry. Catholics worship God alone, and worship no creature whatsoever. Thus, Scripture passages that condemn idolatry are no indictment of anything Catholic.
I know that Catholics desperately want people to believe that but evidence shows otherwise. Excuses that bowing to images is really bowing to the "person" or god the image represents doesn't change the fact that its still an idol. Worshiping a "host" is idolitry. Bowing and praying to some dead guy's body parts is idolitry. And please don't insult your intelligence by claiming Catholics don't pray "to" those so called saints. The Catholic Church and its advocates admit they do.
Every Catholic theologian in history, and every Catholic moral theology manual ever published, and every Catholic catechism ever published, condemns idolatry.
What you are saying is that there is a “secret” Catholic teaching that approves idolatry. This “secret” has been transmitted secretly to several billions of people down the centuries. There are about a billion Catholics alive today, who are in on the “secret,” and they are ALL in on the conspiracy to transmit the “secret,” while managing to keep this “secret” teaching out of absolutely all published material. They have even published thousands of articles and pamphlets that explain that idolatry is a mortal sin, while simultaneously spreading the “secret” teaching to billions of people, without the use of ANY printed material whatsoever. This secret communication system has been kept secret for approximately two thousand years. It has been kept secret by a tight inner circle of billions of people.
I have given this definition numerous times. You are anti Catholic, not Jewish, not pagan. You are by definition a prot.
As to the blood flowing magic trick or whatever it is I simply pointed out the scriptural reference to those who look for those "signs".
And since I asked for the secular support of this and all you did was sling a Bible verse, you either did not answer the question or you consider the Bible a secular source and not the word of God.
So if you would care to try again, with a legitimate secular source, go for it, But I am not holding my breath.
The Second Commandment forbids the making of images and bowing to them.
One can argue all day about whether what’s going on in a person’s head is really worship or not, but bowing is bowing and that can be plainly and objectively seen.
And there are plenty of Catholic prayers online, well known ones at that, which show that Catholic DO ask saints and angels for things, not merely to ask them to pray for us.
The internet is a valuable source and one that exposes the truth about what Catholics pray. They cannot snow people who can read for themselves.
When they finally get enough spare parts together they'll assemble.. SKELETOR.
Then you'll be sorry.
