Theologian: Shared Communion With Protestants Would be Blasphemy and Sacrilege

National Catholic Register ^ | January 2, 2017 | Edward Pentin

...it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”

Except this Francis fellow; of course.

[Elsie]

First, is He not ever with us on "earth", such as where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name?

Huh?

Where'd this 'earth' thing come from??

Matthew recorded:
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

I think that the 2 or 3 are 'worshiping in SPIRIT and truth'.

[Elsie]

Christ changed OT law.

HERETIC!!!

Matthew 5:17 

 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

 

 

 

HMMMmmm...   nope; nothing about CHANGING it.

[Elsie]

One pope is not permitted to change the doctrine declared by another.

What does it take? Two or Three?

An entire COUNTER Reformation perhaps??

[ReaganGeneration2]

“Heretic!”

Careful not to devolve to the liberal tactic of name-calling when having no other argument.

You know exactly what I mean. Jesus clarified and changed how we approached the rules in the OT, and you know it.

The point is: throwing out the Torah to tear down the Eucharist does not work. Read Jesus’ response in John 6.

[metmom]

Heck, I'd like to hear how rejecting the current duly elected Pope of Rome, Pope Francis, isn't also "protesting"!

It is. The EXACT same thing.

They are joining the ranks of Luther in protesting the direction the church is going, just as he did in his day.

[metmom]

The teaching violates God’s clear command to NOT eat blood, that the blood is for atonement, NOT consumption.

To start with.

[metmom]

There is a big difference in recognizing one's "father" in the faith - as Paul was to Timothy - and addressing someone as Father. I doubt Paul would have insisted Timothy call him Father Paul. I think Jesus was talking about those who would lord it over others and be like the Pharisees who loved the attention and the praise of men. He expected a servant attitude and humility among brothers and sisters in the faith. JMHO

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

[ealgeone]

What part of OT Law did He change that lessened the impact of the Law?

[ealgeone]

Go back and reread my post. It’s more than an interpretation of John 6.

[Repent and Believe]

No.

ealgeone is helping me.

So are 2 millennium of Christians of history which is denied, ignored, and rewritten by heretics and schismatics.

The protestants are all about fighting their own battles and so will lose sorely.

Repent and believe.

[ReaganGeneration2]

Where'd this "earth" thing come from?

I was responding to the previous comment: "He does not come back again until the Second Coming." I was saying that that comment seems at odds with the Matthew revelation, which you cite, about where 2 or 3 gathered. That is, if He can be in our midst [on "earth"] then, He can be as bread and wine too.

[Repent and Believe]

FYI some of those listed are in total communion (at least prior to 1958) while others are Catholic in name only.

Regarding the first you are like someone who accuses a family of being divided because some are girls, others boys, some have black hair, others red, some are tall, others short.

Catholic means universal and you here demonstrate why you are not one. Protestant in one sense means narrow-minded as relates my illustration and as relates to fear of supporting scripture with tradition.

Where’s your protestant list? Or do protestants only study “catholics”?

[ReaganGeneration2]

No - that is why Jesus’ followers left him in John 6. And He let them go.

[Repent and Believe]

Isaiah 42:8

“I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.

Using statues and paintings to help us pray and worship the Lord our God is not sharing his praise with carved idols. You poor protestants are like the Jansenists who thought every physical thing is bad, and even condemned licit copulation in marriage.

There is much history on the hatred of sacred art:

The origin of the movement against the worship (for the use of this word see VENERATION OF IMAGES) of images has been much discussed. It has been represented as an effect of Moslem influence. To Moslems, any kind of picture, statue, or representation of the human form is an abominable idol.

Be free of your mental bondage, that your faith may grow strong.

[ReaganGeneration2]

I was referring to the “in remembrance” interpretation.

[ealgeone]

Again, the blood of the sacrifice was poured out...never consumed.

Jesus poured out His blood for our sins.

The wine is symbolic of His blood.

It does not "change" into blood as some catholics believe.

“A blog is sufficient proof?
That’s pushing it a bit.
Besides, which article is it in.”

(Re. : “...the 1983 Code of Canon Law is not a Catholic document. That is because it was authored by heretics and apostates, not the true Catholic Church...”)

[Repent and Believe]

“The so-called “Vatican II” was a council sadly held by apostates.”

“So judgemental!
Why do you think GOD allowed such a thing to happen??”

You’ve probably read the account written by Saint John on “the great apostasy”.

"...Co-Redemptrix, Ark of the Covenant, Cause of Our Joy, Cause of our Salvation , Comfort of the Afflicted, Destroyer of Heresy,..." NICE list, Elsie! (See what you're missing?)
