There are seven sacraments; baptism, communion, confession, marriage, holy orders, sacrament of the sick.
Communion of the saints is central to the Christian faith as are all of the sacraments.

Well, I speak of the communion of saints. Do you believe in the sacraments?

Do you ever ask your friends to pray for you?

The saints in heaven are alive.

Our Father is not the God of the dead. The saints are alive.

Just like Jesus it will rise again. Because it is the Body of Christ.

The media wants to make president Trump look bad, but all they are doing is giving him an opportunity to be presidential.

Admitting one’s mistakes is the foundation of humility. Humility is the opposing virtue to pride.

We go to the Trindentine Mass on Sunday. There is no singing, not shaking of hands, we receive kneeling on the tongue. We go to daily mass. The mortality rate for corona is less than .01%.

The boomers are retiring to Florida.

Well, you are not who I was referring to specifically when I said it smells like a conspiracy. That particular conspiracy comes from some priests and some of the layity who want to push an anti-tridentine agenda.

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Watching the main stream TV news is like asking for panic. It reminds me of the OJ trial. The media likes to latch on to one story and beat it to death.

There are people who obviously have political agendas to promote who actually look quite happy to trash the economy. Telling people that receiving communion on the hand is more sanitary than reception on the tongue smells like one of those type of agendas.

As for prevention, of course we should do that. But the point is there are worse problems that we face. And this hysteria will cause more problems than it solves.

We need to avoid senseless panic. The Italian government has ordered all public masses to be stopped.

One wonders if the Chinese have not initiated this “epidemic” just to crash the western economy.

Well, I’m no lefty and I’m no ideolog. The status quo is crazy. So you might want to consider dropping the conservative tag since William Crystal and the neo cons hate TRump and consider perhaps going with Restorative instead.

The author is spot on. Attempting to protect mothers and babies from unsafe practices is progressive in nature. The real ultra-conservatives now are the “liberals” who want to protect the status quo of abortion on demand and contraception.

You are more likely to die from medical error, the third leading cause of death in the USA, than either the corona virus or the flu which kills thousands every year.

The panic over corona will probably kill more people than the virus itself.

And while we’re at it let’s cancel all dentists appointments.

The abnormal has been declared normal and if we don’t agree we are phobic. Perhaps it is healthy to fear insanity being considered alright and a protected right.

Well then we should ban all situations that involve any proximity to people, like supermarkets, off track betting etc. If you fear that then how can sitting or standing near anyone be safe? But if you fear hand to mouth then my point is correct. You don’t breathe when you open your mouth to eat.

Next they’ll be bringing back Arianism and any other idiocy they can imagine. Europe is opening the door to Islam with this watering down of the faith.

Way back in the 4th century most of the bishops were followers of Arius. That heresy was defeated and this too shall pass. It seems that unity is difficult to achieve.
