    Who has read Malachi lately?

    I assume you mean the didache not Malachi 1:11 . Do you see the fulfillment of that prophecy in something else, or do you think it is yet to be fulfilled? Peace!

    Who has read Malachi lately?

    Hello, Curious what you all think of Malachi 1:11 The didache attests that the Eucharist fulfills this prophecy: 14:1 And on the Lord's own day gather yourselves together and break bread and give thanks, first confessing your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. 14:2 And let no...

    I believe!

    I believe He revealed our Father to us and that to know Him is to know the Father, neither can we know the Father but through knowing Him.

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Kind of, what you said was: Which seems to cotradict this: Now as to: I would say rather, that it does not save unless they continue to grow and walk in the faith they have been given. And yes accepting responsibility (if they are able) for the promises their parents and godparents made...

    Jesus says you must eat me. Are you in Christ?

    Because he gives the reality of the Eucharist in the bread of life discourse. It is not a fluke that he precedes this with the multiplication of the loaves and the fish. Peace!

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Well i cant comment on the specifics of any one case, however the failure of some bishops to adequetly deal with the problem may indeed have led to the papal office getting more involved. Again from the code of canon law: Can. 1405 §1. It is solely the right of the Roman Pontiff himself to...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    This is incorrect. A couple things first: the correct term is 'removal from the clerical state' . and a bishop certainly can impose that penalty on a cleric in his diocese. However: Can. 1417 §1. By reason of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff, any member of the faithful is free to bring or...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    I'm not sure I understand your questions. A bishop most certainly can impose a penalty of a loss of clerical state on priests in his diocese (following procedure as laid out in canon law). Further, priests are not free to move from one diocese to another, but must follow the rules set out in...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    From the code of canon law that I linked above: Can. 1331 §1. An excommunicated person is forbidden: 1/ to have any ministerial participation in celebrating the sacrifice of the Eucharist or any other ceremonies of worship whatsoever; 2/ to celebrate the sacraments or sacramentals and to...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Dear sister, Do you not belive our Father answers the prayers of His children? Do you think that He would deny the new birth and the Holy Spirit to our children when we ask Him in faith to give them the gift of faith? I have a 15 year old boy who is unlikely to ever (in this life) be able to...

    Jesus says you must eat me. Are you in Christ?

    Haha. Not sure why you want them to disrobe, but i would suggest that they do wash our feet, or rather that Jesus washes our feet through them, in the sacrament of reconcilliation. Peace be with you!
