You may think you are attacking false systems; unfortunately, innocent human beings are in your crossfire.​

Latin is the best way to get a message across clearly and English can be miss understood far to easy.
Doctors surgeons chemist etc do not use English as it's crap in such a field, so as such it does not describe.
If one says in Latin what type of tree something is, you can not mistake what it is, but in English we can have many names for the same thing.

When we read an English Bible it's just a translation that can miss the mark and be mistaken easy if you do not have some understanding of Latin and Hebrew, because English is trying to make the best out of the translation that it can and one has to mindful of that. So some idiot will point to something in the Bible and make fun of it, thinking that it's nonsense, but the fact is that the ignorant has not got a clue and is just barking up the wrong tree, thinking he is smarter than everyone.
English is particularly devious for some reason. All the choices lead to confusion i guess

WOW.....just WOW

What do you think communism means Reggie!?

I have no words......
That's because you don't know what Communism is.
It's not so much as what it means but what it truly is.
If you bothered to read some of what the RCC has said about such you would know that.
John Paul II points out what Communism is.

Yammering....

Astounding ...you can hear a Loud Audible sound from written text...lol

The Mass was in Latin before 1965....it was the same Latin words spoken every week.....if the parishoner didnt understand the words they grabbed their missal in front of them and read the English translation.

That's handy , unless a person could not read.

The homily/sermon was in English in America - it was not based on the whim of the priest -

Who said it was?

it was based on the scripture of the week - see, unlike Protestant pastors who picked their favorite scriptures from the Bible,

Really? Perhaps they preach actual Scriptures based on what their Congregation has expressed a desire to Hear and Learn....

I never asked a Preacher so can't really say....but no matter, YOU apparently are the expert on what Sermons Protestant Preachers Preach.

priests preached every verse of the Bible (excluding the begat verses) on a three year cycle - they still do today

Back to the point. Catholic Priests have historically used the Latin Language during their Preaching, When People in the pews listening had no understanding of the Latin Language.
You can deny that fact ... Doesn't really matter to me.

And however a Catholic Priest Conducts His Sermons....You are the one who announced it is Boring.

So, you are going to stick with your false narrative instead of reality.....why am I not surprised? It’s the age of Trump...when your wrong, just double down and repeat your bs as often as possible

I said Catholic messageboards are boring - you compared my post to the Mass.

Yeah, i am an expert on both - i was a Protestant for twenty years before I joined the Catholic Church. You however, have been consistently wrong throughout our entire conversation.

I don't pretend to be educated in all the little weird things individual Chruches have adopted and promote.
I'm glad you have enough humility to admit it.
Awesome testimony of what the Catholic Church DOES, IN PLACE of Scripture Doctrine being the Sermon...and INSTEAD elects to conduct their Sermons based on a discourse the Priest elects to speak about.
There is more SCRIPTURE in one Catholic Mass than in a month of Protestant services...for the 50th time. Priests are not obligated to re-quote the scripture, scripture, scripture that had just been read. Most often, they try to make the scripture readings relevant to today's world. Some priests are better at homiletics than others. So what. I can endure the droning of a 90 year old priest, and still have the indescribable intimacy with Jesus in the Eucharist.

There you go you are a Communist aspen I knew it.

I had an uni educated atheist who peddled full on Socialist communist some years ago on a bike forum and after some months come back at me with the claim that communism and Christianity were much the same, well to a fool they may look that way, but they are clearly different.

You want to read Veritatis Splendor dear aspen, it may open your eyes.

Communism and Socialism is always Anti-Christ aspen because they are the worldly works of man and reject the Holy Spirit.

The RCC changed tracks from Vatican II on it went from saving soles to worldly works and many priest were totally peed off about this change, I thought Vatican II good as well but now I know it was hijacked the Jesuits and there Satanic games in bed with the Freemasons and it's this mob of Satanist that worked to create WW1 and WW2 and will create WW3 they are under the influence of the Talmud Zionist Jews, much the same as the ones who worked to kill Jesus with there games.
That not to say that all Freemasons or Jews etc are bad but they are deluded and brainwashed into following such crap, as the leadership of such things knows how to play them for the fools they are. Pope Frances is a Satanist and is in bed with all trying to create a BS religion where a idiot like him will be worshiped as god and he never gives way to Jesus Christ, he is to Politically Correct to offend his Islam and Talmud mates with pointing to Jesus Christ as the only way, this bastard has turned away from Christ Jesus, he is doing the works of man = Socialism but it will not work because such is the works of Anti-Christ and once you turn away from Christ Jesus that how it fails, the Jews failed every time they turned away from God and that was cause by cunning mob with in that worked away leading the Jews astray, the same game play is going on here.

YOU CAN DO NOTING WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST all is in vain without him, such people think that it is them who are bringing in the Kingdom of God, fact is people could not bring in jack, it's Jesus that brings it in. in his Majesty = coming in the Clouds, where we the faith full in his grace will meet him. such is not of our works but his working through us.

Socialism is mans madness it's we will do this as there foundation that's why they push Political Correctness, only devils push PCness Hitler was one and Stalin another, it's a great trick that fooled millions, there is no truth in the word Political and Political is never about right or wrong because it's about power over the people not Salvation, that's why Jesus said about the coin give to him what's his, but a true follower of Jesus knows who is who. we are not to have the government above us as our Lord like the Socialist want, that's the very mob who put Jesus up on the cross. that's what they think of him, they don't have the Holy Spirit in them at all, but the Stain of original Sin that they only abide in and it's works of madness.
PCness makes robot police out of people and they are marked men, just like Cain was, they can't see logic they are blinded by there own works and they don't care about right or wrong, you can not reason with them, because the truth is not in them. they become robots of the government, blind obedience to what ever Law it dictates, they don't question it at all because they know such is forbidden, the government dominates you totally aspen and you only become a number.
Your religion will not save you, only Jesus can do that and all others are works of man regardless.
Pope Frances is controlling his Church but who is leading him, it's not Jesus Christ that's for sure.

I was going to post a 10 point rebuttal of your misguided post, but like the EU briefing Trump, i have decided to meet you where you are at:

One day you will see the madness that you are following will do.
I know people who informed me of what they went through with Nazis and communist like you, yes they did not see it for what it truly was because it was too late when they did, but they informed me what it was truly all about man to man not some con job dished up from school that has not true depth like coming straight from the ones who lived it.

Well, you are certainly persistant and committed to your own perceptions; center of your own attention. I will leave you to your own thoughts.

In the meantime, I think I have learned everything I want to know about you. Good day

The USA has been foolish in it's dealing with Russia and it's not Putin that is the problem it's the criminal element within USA trying to undermine Russia with a war of total BS that the Media peddle and there is not one reason why Russia and the USA can not get on fine with, there is no reason nowadays for such hostility, such is madness.
Communist in USA fear that Putin will expose them for what they truly are, so they have to create a boggy man, Putin has pointed out why the hell does the USA want to become Communist for, Russia has been there and done that moronic rubbish and failed totally, he knows the misery that such produced.
If USA and Russia were on good terms and speaking freely, with no boggy man so to speak, then the people in the USA would wake up to the fact that what a con job is going on and who it truly is that's behind it all, destroying it's economy leading it into insane debt and bastardising it's people with filth, not to mention who it is that has been working against Jesus. they Russia have seen it themselves they know how it works.
So they make Putin out to be the boggy man and a communist plus what ever they can.

Bloody hell we don't need conflict in the world for crying out loud.

The Plane that flew over a war zone were total morons to do that, hey would you want to fly over a war zone, do you know what the chances are of getting blown up in doing such a stupid thing, mistakes can be made for sure but would Russia have an interest in doing so, not at all. there is not one reason why it would in fact.
Some moron flew over it and it's his fault directly.
Aspen would you get on a plane knowing it will fly over a war zone, or let your loved ones go do that.

Don't fly directly over a war zone, you are a total moron if you do. but the media don't say that fact at all. yes many were flying about that area but this moron flew just too close in fact.

They are not my perceptions I was warned about the facts by people who lived through the hell of it all.
Yes and even Jews who were locked up and nearly starved to death and all there family died as well, showed me the numbers tat on there arm and all, I just happened to meet one down the beach a year or so ago, he said that the whales were not out and about yet, as he walked by and we started talking, what a great bloke he was and we got on great he knew what he was talking about and was saying what is going on nowadays that people have no idea what they coming up against, he had seen it all and said the same madness is set to repeat again the way it's going.

So no aspen it's not me that's the problem, I did listen to all them old people from when I was a kid and there warnings were not in vane, I understood that my family history was a Jewish so I had the fortitude to listen intently even at 8 years old, I knew better than my grade 6 teacher on the subject and could wipe the floor with him on the subject.
One thing is I am not ignorant on the subject aspen or just stick my head in the sand and wish such away saying not true not true Socialism is my god like you and all the other fools that were mislead by the madness of that Nonsense.

For the 50th time, I guess you are the expert on what goes on in Catholic and Protestant.

I personally favor reading Daily instead of Hearing one or two times a week for an hour or so......Thus whomever you have decided; Catholics or Protestants are awarded your higher merits for speaking more Scripture during a single service is irrelevant to me.

I tend to agree with aspen, that Catholic Services are boring.

Priests are not obligated to re-quote the scripture, scripture, scripture that had just been read.

I find that sort of repetativeness more of a cultural thing, than a Protestant "thing".

Most often, they try to make the scripture readings relevant to today's world.

That seems a bit contradictory to what aspen related, saying, Catholic sermons are gear toward a 3 year repetative cycle.

Some priests are better at homiletics than others. So what. I can endure the droning of a 90 year old priest, and still have the indescribable intimacy with Jesus in the Eucharist.

That's nice, but not unique. Sort of the high-light of a man who has actually become Converted, don't you think?
