I am Catholic, No one I know asks the DEAD to pray for them. Our brothers and sisters who have gone before us are very much alive! Pax et Bonum

Hello amigo, I understand your intentions, and that you are woefully ignorant of the communion of the saints. Which is why I continue to engage you in conversation despite your false accusations. 'Father forgive them, for they know not what they do' Pax et Bonum

Hello Least, Who said anything about asking the dead to pray for us? My God is the God of the living! Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Pax...

Asking our righteous brothers and sisters to pray for us is not blasphemy.. Pax et Bonum

Slander and lies rather than adressing the points raised? Seems this is degenerating quickly into a good example of this threads main theme.. In any case, your unwillingness to engage in true dialouge is enough for me, welcome to the ignore list.. Pax et Bonum

I see, so of instead of answering my questions or addressing my scripture you decide to launch a smear campagin.. Interesting.. I guess we're done here.. Pax et Bonum

Hello Blue Dragonfly, All lovely verses, but not none bearing on valid authority in the Church. Here's another good one: 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...

Um, no. Alexandria and Constantnople and the Bishops with them have valid authority. Where is the 2000 year old apoostolic community that has any other practice? 'every planting not of my Father will be uprooted' Pax et Bonum

That is a good question! In the Church it is determined by those with the authority to give it; the bishops. It has been given through the laying on of hands all the way back to the apostles who received it from Christ. Every 2000 year old apostolic community practices this. In the secular...

That's a very good question. I'd like to think that I have, but certainly not perfectly.. And God, in His goodness, continues to provide as He always has done. So then, does abuse by those with valid authority over us justify the cry of 'non serviam' ? What of the rebellion of Korah, that...

I would suggest being stripped of ones livelihood is as much an injustice as receiving a beating, but regardless, what's your point? No Just your everyday ordinary catholic schlub.. Thats me :D Pax et Bonum

Why not?

I am currently on 'unpaid administrative leave' from my job of 30 years because of zealots.. Does that count? Pax et Bonum

Indeed, and it really is this simple: I AM, I Love you, be united with ME! While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from...

This passage is speaking of intimate knowledge, as a man and His wife.. "For this reason a man shall leave (his) father and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church. All are...

Wasn't He? Non serviam has ever been the cry of the enemy.. Consider David's conduct regarding Saul and of course Peter's : Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse. For whenever anyone bears the...

Hello Matthias. The endgame for what? Pax et Bonum

Ok, so just to clarify, without taking away anything else you said in your posts: These two statements are contradictory: Are you then, retracting the first and agreeing with me that true love is objective? Pax et Bonum

Ok, you lost me here, which are you trying to say? Pax et Bonum

Hello Blue Dragonfly,8 I disagree 100 % . True Love, which is God Himself, is objectively perfect, righteous and Holy True love always lays itself down for the good of the other whom it loves. Jesus has reedemed the entire creation! The only one's who are in hell are those who freely...
