It doesn't matter if TEN bishops suggest this. They don't make up the Magesterium and they certainly aren't infallible.

Constantine didn't run the Church - and all of that stuff is based largely on legend. BUT - let's allow it for the sake of argument. Even IF Constantine suggested these traditions (small "t") - these can HARDLY conflated with "changing" the Church. Did the Church hijack some pagan practices...

I still don't think that this shows that the Church "changed" because of the clamoring of the people. So, because some practices supposedly developed over time - this was due to the "urging" of the masses?? This simply shows the development of traditions. Pretty weak case . . .

I have had many conversations with the online poster ChurchMilitant and have visited his website as many times. Good guy.

Deciding who CAN and who CAN'T receive the Eucharist has always been a matter if discipline. And, no matter how much YOU want it to be a doctrinal matter - it will ALWAYS be a matter of discipline . . .

You guys are talking about 2 different people. I suspect YOU are talking about Michael Voris, whereas, GG is referring to a Catholic forum poster named, "ChurchMilitant".

Uhhhhh, you link leads to an 8600-word essay. You need ALL 8600 words to make your point?? Perhaps YOU can just cut to the chase? Good grief . . .

This is an asinine understanding of what it means to be FULLY human – but not surprising, coming from YOU . . . Is everybody married Does everybody have kids Does everybody own a home? Does any of this make them “less” human?? Scripture says that Jesus was FULLY HUMAN as well as being FULLY...

How so?

No, you require facts - not your usual fiction . . .

Those are both DISCIPLINARY matters. YOU keep dishonestly trying to make them into doctrinal matters - and and they aren't . . .

Yup – the eyes of the world ARE on the Catholic Church for a reason – because its perceived wealth and the possibility of many lawyers obtaining some of that wealth. The plain fact is that there simply isn’t as much money – or perceived money involved in going after the many smaller Protestant...

Not sure what your point is. You were arguing that the church doesn’t “change” for anybody – then you posted this. What gives?

And once again, you’re NOT listening. If you pastor molests some kids at Sunday school is it HIS fault – or YOURS and the rest of your congregation? If EVERYBODY in the congregation knew about it and remained silent – then it would be your fault. However – what happened in the Catholic Church...

This is proof positive that your claim – and your blog link are manure . . . NO Pope can tell a future Pope how to run the Church – period. This is the SAME asinine position that the SSPX took with Pius V’s Papal Bull Quo Primum. In it – Pius V was fed up with Liturgical abuses and ruled...

As usual – your weak argument doesn’t hold water. Below is a more literal translation of the original Koine Greek: Heb. 2:17-18 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters IN EVERY RESPECT, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to...

No – I just don’t have any tolerance for fraudulent posters who post under the guise of being “knowledgeable” of the Catholic Church – when they are more ignorant than most. Your posts pertaining to the Catholic church are almost as comical as they are dishonest . . .

Once again – INDIVIDUALS are responsible for their INDIVIDUAL sins. If there were bad Popes – and there were – THEY will be judged for it. It’s not the fault of the Body of Christ if a person sins. It’s the fault of the individual. For example – if YOUR pastor molests several of the children...

Why should the Body of Christ “change” for anybody?? The change must come from the individual – not the Church. If a priest sins – HE needs to change – not the Church. The same is true for every Protestant minister. You have bizarre ideas about what the Church is . . .

Then YOU deny the Word if GOD, which says: Heb. 2:17 For this reason he had to be made like them, FULLY HUMAN IN EVERY WAY, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. The Bible says that YOU...
