    Well I dont know about you amigo. But I dont know anyone who offers incense to images. To think that a statue, or icon, or painting etc.. Is anything to offer latria to, would be a grave sin indeed. Pax et Bonum

    Church councils?

    Force a creed on those leaving? Not at all. But what of those who teach contrary to the Faith and stay? They must be corrected. The most extreme correction being excommunication from the community ?? Of course the Church needs the Holy Spirit! Else men would have destroyed it long ago...

    You are incorrect. To earnestly ask is indeed a defenition of 'pray'. However if you reject that usage of the word, then by your definition, we do not pray to the saints. If one wishes to have an honest dialogue, they should at least attempt to understand what the other is trying to convey by...

    Doubts are normal. I don't believe anyone who with a humble and contrite heart seeks to follow Jesus will be put to shame. May He continue to guide you brother! Pax et Bonum

    Church councils?

    Hmm.. Paul wasnt so 'open' with the Judaizers, nor John with the gnostics and others who left the community.. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. It is...

    Meld with paganism? Hardly! Syncretism is verboten. However reordering cultural practices so that they are properly focused on Christ, is something else entirely.. 'capture every thought for Christ!' Pax et Bonum

    Next time you pray the rosary, try concentrating more on the event of the mystery as you pray each decade.. If you dont know what I mean, there are different sets of mysteries to ponder: the joyful mysteries, the sorrowful mysteries and the glorious mysteries The Mysteries of the Rosary -...

    You are contradicting yourself here. To pray is to 'earnestly ask' So if we can 'earnestly ask' our brothers and sisters to pray for us, how much more so those who have gone before us and are already made perfect? Pax et Bonum

    No one is ever to ask you to pray for them? I guess you dont spend much time in the prayer subforum? Pax et Bonum

    I point to my brothers and sisters who have believed and lived this for 2000 years, and say 'my doctrine is not my own'. Pax et Bonum

    Not at all! I saw that as humour, Barney being a policeman, not a comment on yourself, sorry for any misundertanding! Pax et Bonum

    Church councils?

    Hello Episkopos, What do you mean? Any particular church 'authority' that rejected the decision of the Jerusalem council would be corrected, or excommunicated in the extreme case that they continued to insist on circumcision and imposing the law of Moses on the gentiles. The 'Judaizers' were...

    Church councils?

    You are not competant to render that judgement, How dare you berate our protestant brethren, when you, yourself reject the very authority of the Church? Pride goeth before a fall brother, i suggest you pray about it. Pax et Bonum

    They are creatures who serve and glorify God. I have personal testimony of the efficacy of the intercession of the saints. St. Andre Bissette's prayers were instrumental in the healing of my son. Thanks be to God! Saint Brother André - Saint Joseph's Oratory of MountRoyal Pax et Bonum
