"A bishop then must be ...

Ignore? Oh NO!

You fail to realize what the word MUST means!

--Wannabe_Catholic_Dude(Hail Mary!)

[Elsie]

...the Lord is not present ...

Seems to me, that if He WERE present, there'd be no need to REMEMBER much at all!

[Elsie]

One must practice an awful lot before they can truly master the flaggel.

[Elsie]

SEE!

More practice needed indeed!

[Elsie]

While attempting to use the word ‘flagellate’,
Some other poor soul you did aggravate.
We now use your bad spelling,
for something more telling:
The word of the day: supererogate!

[Elsie]

I also believe that the Lord’s Supper is the honest to goodness body and blood of the Lord.

Don't worry. We'll get his mind straight.

[Elsie]

If it were easy to understand, then everybody would be a believer!

[Elsie]

We have a putz as the bishop of Rome, yeah, but he’ll be gone soon.

However; the method of installing a putz as your Leader will still be in place.

You can only HOPE that your next Leader will be more acceptable to more of you.

Tell ya what: why don't you get a large group of True Catholics to pray one of those non-failing novenas to Mary, so that in the future you'll be led by only a True Catholic.

[Elsie]

A bishop could be married; it’s not an absolute impediment

See!

I told you that you didn't know the meaning of MUST!!!

--Wannabe_Catholic_Dude("Hail Mary!", he replied haughtily.)

[Elsie]

...the Church came to discern ...

I see...

[Elsie]

It really would not make sense for Paul to say that all the bishops must be married.

Good luck.

I've been tryin' to tell them that about Jesus saying to '...call no man father...' but it ain't takin' hold.

--Wannabe_Catholic_Dude(Gettin' tired of constantly telling these deluded Prots what the Book REALLY means...)

[Elsie]

Our priests do MUCH better if celibate.
and as I shall continue to pontificate.
But having no wife,
ain't much of a life*
Guys have a tendency to, uh, practice self-abuse.

 

 

 

*Genesis 2:18 NIV
 The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

[Elsie]

Why don't you?

Uh; because they are wrong, too?

[Elsie]

So many words end in “...ate”
Like 79 or even 28.
With limericks so many -
there’s none that aren’t any
way seeming so desper...?

[Elsie]

The Apostles Creed tells EVERYTHING that Catholics believe.’Period.

HMMMmmm...

I thought it was the letter in Acts chapter 15.

[Elsie]

All this and the sun isn’t even up yet!

[Elsie]

Was anyone else confused by the picture?

It could be inferred that those two MEN were married to each other!

Were’s the picture/name of the WIFE??

Thanks for your supererogation (Late Latin: supererogatio “payment beyond what is needed or asked”, from super “beyond” and erogare “to pay out, expend”, itself from ex “out” and rogare “to ask”) is the performance of more than is asked for; the action of doing more than duty requires. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supererogation).

[Elsie]

Sounds like a job for...

Supererogator Man!

[kinsman redeemer]

It WILL be - both for you and your followers.

Unless YOU learn and apply 2 Tim 2:15.

Or, if THEY find another pastor.

That’s just true.
