BTW, where I attend, we actually DO take things to other regular members. It might eventually get all the way up to the preacher or elders (which WE chose to lead us) if we can't work it out, but often they never even hear of issues many of us have worked out among ourselves.

Do you take your differences to several other ordinary people sitting in the pews around you (the actual "church") or do you take them to Catholic officials elected by a governing body you don't even know?

Well, to begin with, none of us knows the content of another's heart. And if we looked at our esoteric evaluation of another person's character, we would eliminate a good portion of the leaders in our Bibles as being of "bad character." So, we are kind of stuck evaluating candidates by what...

As usual, you seem to have missed everything. If ANYONE blindly follows someone else, without question, they risk being misguided by them. Beyond that, you, Mary, don't seem to decide for yourself the value or Biblical accuracy of what your teachers (the Priests, et al) tell you. You tell us...

To educate. It was a huge point of contention and strife within the 2012 DNC.

You certainly do seem to have difficulty with the English language. "Misguided", simply means to be guided in a mistaken direction. And I certainly do believe you are having that done to you. It is in no way a "vile" statement. And, 'making mistakes' or 'doing something wrong' is not being...

That does NOT make you a hypocrite. Personally, though I think you are misguided, I don't think you are a hypocrite.

Helen, she doesn't believe anything if one of the Popes didn't give it a number, and publish it in one of their guide books.

It is kind of clear that some people here do not understand what the word, "hypocrite" means.

Boy, Hal has become a very rich man peddling that stuff... 70+ books, net worth of 42m, and on his 4th wife.

I think anyone who has not lived their life with their eyes closed, knows evolution is true and a fact of life on Earth. It is really only the extent to which someone might believe one of the various forms of "evolution" to be the genesis of creation that is in question.

I was really interested in hearing what each of us ALREADY felt about that passage, since we have all read it multiple times over the span of our lives, and have spent years assimilating things by THAT previous understanding. I don't really care, for the purposes of this discussion, what we can...

Democrats complain about "Kids in cages" (which never happened), yet they cheer about "Babies in buckets" (which occur by the millions).

Yes, BEFORE you go claiming I am not answering you.

You just have to create your own little realties, don't you? I don't dodge questions, but if it is your determined insistence to keep on asking questions of people that are akin to, "Have you quit beating your spouse?", you are never going to learn how to have conversations with other people...

I hardly look at that silly "Shroud" thread anymore. If you want me to see something you have written there, you need to PM me, and let me know what to look at, rather than claiming I am ignoring something I never even knew was written.

NO ONE should teach the course as stating that they somehow have a direct line of privileged communication to God. Both Catholicism and Protestantism are no more than interpretive beliefs of what ancient people wrote down. Unfortunately neither side (especially Catholics) can restrain...
