St. Teresa of Avila, is full of grace. Brimming over. She wrote the 7 castles (or rooms) of the heart. If she's not full of grace, I don't know who is. Does MY church teach this? I don't own a church. Most do not teach this.

We understand that Jesus was sinless and so the CC decided that His mother had to be sinless too. Due to the mingling of the blood. Now we come to find out the blood from the mother does not mingle with the blood of the baby. Being full of grace and being sinless is two different ideas. St...

What does Scott Hahn say and in what book does he say it?

HAPPY NEW YEAR !! Compliments of Rollo Tamasi

What makes you think I'm a rigid legalist? Far from it. In fact, I resent being called that just because I think we should adhere to what Jesus said. What is the spirit of the law when it comes to divorce? Jesus said there is to be no divorce except in cases of fornication. The CC has...

Interesting to know this about you @aspen I'm the opposite. Grew up Catholic, became born again when I met Jesus at the age of 28 (about), nothing there for me, left to go study the bible at a Nazarene Church. Have tried to go back to Catholicism. I can't. Still nothing there for me...

I'm tired of battling this out. I read it, as I said. Famous chapter 8. The pope left it purposefully vague. Before 1913, approx, remarrieds were not allowed in church. Then they were allowed in church but no communion. Bad sign. Now they could receive communion. You don't care to see this as...

About 3 years ago the daughter of a friend was visiting us. About 30 yrs old at the time. Atheist. I started to tell her something about God. Nothing "invasive" -- I referred to myself. She told me she didn't want to hear about it and to stop talking about it. It scared me, to tell you...

Exactly how I feel about it. In small bits it becomes more palatable. Anything we can be permitted to say is better than nothing at all.

Hi K I used to have to read the above type stuff. I don't anymore ! Two comments: 1. Yes. I'm sure the Pope knows things we don't, just like the Pres. of the U.S. does - and every other one. 2. Amores Laetitia, which is a book, is the last thing I read with any interest due to the aspect...

mj You don't feed a baby meat. You start off with milk. Work your way up to fruit, then meat - eventually. If they're no longer listening to you... It stops there ! We're not Jesus. He had so much charisma -- we don't. One plants, one waters... we don't all get to see the growth.

After you've offended someone, they don't listen anymore... Witnessing should not include offending.

I don't witness on this board. I assume I'm speaking to persons who do not need witnessing. In ALL cases persons should speak with love, especially when attempting to defend their denomination.

Great post. Well said!

It did seem purposeful ...

That was rather rude of you. And you call yourself a Christian... Read the beatitudes Mathew 5:3-10 It would do you some good.

And HOW does one educate onesself when the RCC said, just about 30 yrs ago, that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a lay person to UNDERSTAND the bible and reading it was discouraged for this reason. Another lie?

Here's post 368: The Church has never strayed away from the teaching on Original Sin - NOR has it strayed from its teaching on Infant Baptism, and it never will. You may LIVE in Italy - but you're about as out-of-touch with the Church as a person can be . . . Original Sin is a Scriptural dogma...
