Plenty of new homeless people in Italy.

Hi BG He may be a lawyer now, but he's still a priest. It's a covenant with God, like a marriage. He was annointed by his bishop, you can't take that away. Like you can't unbaptize someone.

Once a priest,,,always a priest.

I don't know any priest that believes in osas.

I know. Some of them think things that cannot be said in a church setting. We're taking this too far off topic...

I've asked priests...they should know.

He does a lot of witnessing. Always has. I also believe iron sharpens iron... And this helps me to remember things I've learned.

I agree that it's not our doctrine that will save us. It's our trust in Jesus and the fact that we wish to follow Him to the light. However, I do see doctrine these days that can easily lead persons astray. Cheap grace, easy believism, faith only. These are false; they don't require obedience...

You're explaining purgatory perfectly.

Of course it matters Who does it. A priest should be held to a higher standard.

In Italy, when there's lots of suffering being experienced, they'll say it's a calvario --- like the way to Calvary, the passion road.

It wasn't meant as a question but a statement. I believe in the "Trinity model". Now, about maturing it...maybe I can't ! YOU can do some tweaking too. I won't get upset!

Yes. I agree with you. I don't care for one-day-a-week Christianity and I can, I think, assume most here are not like that. But I think it's important to have a church and go to the Mass or the service once a week. Not that I do this, sometimes I stop for months at a time, but I don't think...
