There can be no true peace nor effective prayer where Truth is compromised. If this forum is to foster either, the Truth must be preached in season and out of season. If those defending the Truth are driven from the forum, the forum itself will not be a means of Grace.
and Basto posting Papa Francis promotion of our Lady undoer/untier of knots is to break marriages is based on Truth? A devotion started in Germany back in the 1700s that our Holy Father has made popular to the world in our day... is now evil? I guess we will continue to see things differantly
Basto questioning admission of Lutherans to the Holy Eucharist is wholly appropriate. Basto questioning the change to Holy Thursday liturgies to include the washing of the feet of women is wholly appropriate. Please address these two issues and leave aside the other at this time.
Basto questioning admission of Lutherans to the Holy Eucharist is wholly appropriate. Please explain to us why you support this sacrilege and how he is wrong. Basto questioning the change to Holy Thursday liturgies to include the washing of the feet of women is wholly appropriate. Please explain to us why you support this innovation which contradicts Tradition and theology by this pope. Thanks. Keep it real LJoP. Stop trying to change the subject when you know these developments cannot be defended.
I changed the subject Brian ?...you spoke of a forum of Truth, it would fail of Grace if it didn't! ... Now you are telling me to not mind the man behind the curtain... im just a tin man sir, not as intellectual as yourself. Seems you want to parse issues...agenda Brian?
oooo...the tin mans metal fingers poking you Brian... Don't worry, im not rusty, your safe! Since so many of you argue over no Pope saying the consecration of Russia is done, show me Pope Francis *** NOT*** eliminating non Catholics from receiving Communion document...lets play your games....don't quote Pentens (sp) anonymous sources say blah blah blah Solid Vatican documents that can be confirmed...fair enough? ***NOT*** my edit.. i missed a very important word to add...
Multiple sources have verified the Lutheran story: http://www.christiantoday.com/artic...tican.despite.ban.on.intercommunion/77425.htm https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/l...ion-at-vatican-after-meeting-with-pope-report http://thewandererpress.com/breakin...on-at-vatican-after-meeting-with-pope-report/ http://www.onepeterfive.com/magister-lutherans-given-communion-in-rome-after-papal-audience/ http://magister.blogautore.espresso...uterani-di-finlandia-con-comunione-cattolica/ So that is verified, regardless of whether the Vatican owns up to this sacrilege. So the question remains: Do you or do you not agree with this pope inviting Lutherans to receive the Holy Eucharist?
one peter five.... oh, a solid source in support of Pope Francis.... Haters if u ask me Brian, you have used any news source in this almost past year ive been on MOG to support your deductions against Francis...you and crew, always asking questions, (don't want jon jumpin on me now) a year of questions that others/us understand but some never get any resolution. Is it you folks don't read and pray over what isn't understood, or is it the media source commentary you go by? Its still a new year, give up news commentarys, read the Popes own words, ask the Holy Spirit to decend upon you...enlighten us all Holy Spirit!!!!
I don't think washing women's feet on Holy Thursday would rise to this level, but opening the Holy Eucharist to Protestants and the divorced and remarried (without annulment or living as brother and sister) would both fulfill this prophecy.
You're still playing games and refuse to answer the question, so I regret that I'll now have to employ the ignore button in your regard. Bye.
Whether the cross (crucifix is a misnomer) theory is valid or not, and if it is, whether it is intentional or part of a hidden unconscious purpose, is difficult to say. However, there is no doubt that the quoted "expert" Professor Richard Landes leaves something to be desired (to be fair he wasn't relevant to the cross theory). On the one hand while rightly asserting that "...Europeans are really not prepared for a confrontation", on the other he reveals his own unpreparedness by declaring that ISIS "...still live in the Middle Ages". This demonstrates astonishing complacency by a man who has studied a group that has shown frightening and skillful ability to utilise modern weapons and technology, particularly social media and a considerable grasp of modern Fourth Generation Warfare military tactics.
you try to steer conversation Brian, Im not an Intellectual, but im a very hard headed Mic! im hard to budge at times Sorry im tossed to the ASH heap...oh well
Not sure if Pope Francis invited them to receive since he was not at the Mass. Having said that, did you know that Lutherans have very similar beliefs on the Eucharist? They believe it is the true presence of Jesus. Now, are we fully aligned - not yet, but I'm praying for it. In the meantime, I will leave it to bishops and hierarchy to figure it out. http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-te...upload/Declaration_on_the_Way-for-Website.pdf
These attitudes are perfectly modern. A closer look demonstrates a very strong parallel between the barbarously "poor value for life and human rights" of ISIS and that of our own Western culture of death. The destruction of Christian and other buildings and monuments by ISIS represents an attempt to wipe out memory of the past which finds parallel with the politically-correct policy of suppressing knowledge of the past (such as the calumny the Middle Ages) and derision of tradition. When one looks at it in this way, it is obvious why there is such mutual attraction between the two totalitarian ideologies of Liberalism and Islam. To accuse the Middle Ages of such barbarism is to do this period a great disservice.
