Hello Pearl, Interesting that you recognize this, yet reject the notion that the Holy Spirit has indeed been leading the Church into all Truth and preserving it from error.. So then, if we disagree with what the whole Church everywhere taught and believed in 100 AD.. 200 Ad... 300 AD... what...

Hello Oceanprayers, The invitation is open to all men, everywhere, from every nation, tribe and tongue. To be untied with Christ in the feast is to also be united with all our brothers and sisters from all places and times who participate in the Feast. The cup of blessing that we bless, is...

What a horrible mischaracterization of what we say and believe... For a proper understanding I suggest one read the whole catechism section on the Church beginning here: Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText Wherein you will also find this: 818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin...

To participate in the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! you too! are invited! Pax et Bonum!

Hello Lifelong, "Pope Francis said Wednesday that choosing pets over kids "takes away our humanity" and that couples who do so are "selfish" " Pope Francis is talking about married couples who prevent children and replace them with pets instead... It is selfish because they put up barriers...

To you @amadeus and your wonderful bride: The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace! Pax et Bonum!

We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful; as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live Pax et Bonum!

So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides...

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. Pax et Bonum!

Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Pax et Bonum!

Thank you Pearl! I have enough faith to trust that God answered my prayer and the prayer of His Church, that He would give the light of Christ to my children, the gift of the Holy Spirit and supernatural faith that only God can give, just as HE answered the prayers of my mother and the...

Hello Fluffy, In Christ there is freedom indeed! 'and the Truth will set you free' The Truth about Malachi 1:11 is indeed clear, as is the 2000 year testimony of our brothers and sisters! What is the 'pure offering' that everywhere, is offered to our Almighty Father? Can it be any thing...

Very good, so let's look at it then: Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name is great among the nations; And everywhere they bring sacrifice to my name, and a pure offering; For great is my name among the nations, says the LORD of hosts. For 2000 years our...

Hello Fluffy, No reason? Do you think the Spirit has been silent for 2000 years? Shall we not recognize the Spirit speaking through our brethren throughout the history of the Church? Does the Truth change? Consider this that someone posted upthread: John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of...
