Elsie, are you qualified to diagnose an illness, least of all from a photograph?

Judas Iscariot: Apostle, one of original 12; chosen by Christ Himself; embezzler; betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver; died at own hand.

Did that mean all the Apostles were bad? Of course not!

I don’t care who you are - he just doesn’t look like a happy guy. Maybe a guy with gastroenterological pain.

Nice tangent!


John 17:12
None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.


I wonder if GOD 'chose' all the EVIL MEN to lead the church of Rome for a reason???

HE can do whatEVER HE wants; right??

You were making the claim that Protestants were making exemptions. I simply pointed out that no exemption are make by Protestants about everybody needing to die because of sin. Sorry if I messed up your little straw man.

Nostra Aetate: Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (October 28, 1965)

5. We cannot truly pray to God the Father of all if we treat any people in other than brotherly fashion, for all men are created in God's image. Man's relation to God the Father and man's relation to his. fellow­men are so dependent on each other that the Scripture says "he who does not love. does not know God" (I Jn. 4:8). There is no basis therefore, either in theory or in practice for any discrimination between individual and individual, or between people and people arising either from human dignity or from the rights which flow from it. Therefore, the Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against people or any harassment of them on the basis of their race, color, condition in life or religion. Accordingly, following, the footsteps of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, the sacred Council earnestly begs the Christian faithful to "conduct themselves well among the Gentiles" (I Pet. 2:12) and if possible, as far as depends on them, to be at peace with all men (cf. Rom 12:18 ) and in that way to be true sons of the Father who is in heaven (cf. Mt. 5:45).

I've no idea why you've included me in your post to Verga.

Fwiw, I can't help you regarding post #218, either about its content or why it vanished.

Sorry.

"Hail Mary, full of grace.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou aamongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus."

Does this part from Scripture not deserve a normal-size font, even if you feel the rest of the prayer does not?

See your post 192. "Too much or too many meds." A comment on the picture of Pope Benedict XVI on post 191.

He stated his opinion which anyone can do. What is wrong with that? I thought he looked like his hemorrhoids were hurting.

"I thought he looked like his hemorrhoids were hurting."

MamaB, I'm not qualified to diagnose, either, but the expression on his face, the slumping over in his back may indicate Parkinsonian symptoms. For all we know, that may be why he stepped down from the Papacy.

Can’t believe I read the whole thing. But I did, and many of the links. Thank you for a wealth of information and interpretation.
