"Catholics Will Have to Decide Whether They Guard the Faith Over Papolatry"

“Francis is more interested in leftwing politics than in Catholic theology”, George Neumayr, contributing editor of The American Spectator, states talking to Tom Woods on July 14th on tomwoods.com. Woods describes Francis as a result of John Paul II who - as he puts it - appointed "absolutely terrible people" as bishops: "Catholics have suffered under Bergoglios for decades now”.

Neumayr agrees that a lot of the liberal bishops were appointed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He sees Francis as the “culmination of a century” of liberalism and modernism in the Church.

For him it is "highly unlikely" that Francis, who in his theology is “more a Protestant than a Catholic” will convert to Catholicism. Instead, the realistic scenario is that Francis will produce division and chaos, "Catholics will have to decide whether they guard the faith over papolatry.”

And: “The Cardinals have to declare that Francis is a bad pope who must be resisted.”

Because Catholics have available the Sacrament of Penance.

Is this a 'work'?

[Elsie]

What do you think Catholics consider the Ninth Commandment to be?

Well; it sure ain't Call no man Father!!

Where Luther went wrong was to refuse to give up his ideas when presented with Church teachings, which contradicted his own, and then refuse to discuss his ideas further with academics of the Church.

WHERE can I read about this?

[Elsie]

St. Augustine was a christian, while he committed mortal sins.

Have YOU committed Mortal Sins?

If Sola Scriptura is everywhere in the Bible, people should be able to show examples.

If Sola Scriptura is inadequate; as Rome claims; then WHY didn't it put EVERYTHING necessary into the BIBLE as it was being compiled?

It had 3-400 years!!

The promises attached to the brown scapular are not actually taught by the Church.

The promises attached to the brown scapular are not actually DENIED by the Church.

Without an organization with sufficient authority to rule on the canon of the NT, we would have only the OT now.

Izzat so?

JESUS told a story; part of which I post here...

 

 

 

Luke 16:27-31

 

²⁷ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, ²⁸ for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

²⁹ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

³¹ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

I’m sorry, since the Didache is not a part of the Bible, I don’t understand your comment.

Neither are Chapters and Verse numbers; but it doesn't slow us down much.

[Elsie]

It takes a priest in Confession to remit the effects of mortal sin, but Confession is not necessary to remit venial sin.

I'm just SURE this is in the bible; somewhere; Right?

[Elsie]

Oh, dear, I confused the promises of the Carmelite scapular with something else, so the privileges of the brown scapular *are* given by the Church, on certain conditions (wearing of the scapular, maintaining chastity according to one’s state, and either praying a certain set of prayers or with permission, substituting another act).

There are ALWAYS these to contend with; are there not!?

[Elsie]

... praying a certain set of prayers...

Really??

[Elsie]

... or with permission, substituting another act.

No kidding??!!??

[Elsie]

I think you don’t really understand that a scapular is simply an aid to a goal, as exercise equipment is an aid to becoming stronger.

Evidently you've not READ what is WRITTEN on the Brown Scapula!

[Elsie]

And the necessity for Purgatory will most certainly be the result of Christ’s judgement.

Are you CLEAN; Chicory?

[Elsie]

Unfortunately, history refutes this Protestant point.

I seem to have been asleep in History class when this came up.

Where can I read about it?

[Elsie]

And yes, I am speaking for myself in this post too.,

And I'd bet our other FR Catholics in this thread are glad of it; too!

A sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to **give** grace, not simply an outward sign of inward grace.

Grace is not given through ANYTHING but Jesus. We don't perform to receive grace. If we do then it's wages do for work performed.

God LAVISHES His grace on us.

Ephesians 1:3-10 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

John 1:14-17 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Nonsense, an assertion without one shred of support from you.

[ealgeone]

One poster has fired the guy....will Luther please pick up the courtesy phone?
