I will grant you one thing, Aspen....when you shovel you do use both hands.
We are talking about the Scapular, you appear not to like like how the conversation is going, so you - out of the blue - make this unrelated comment: "How many threads have I started about Protestants not being Christians?"
No idea where that has came from, so I respond in kind, stating: "How many threads have I started about Catholics not being Christians?"
And your response to that? ----> "you have resorted to re-framing my post."
And for the record, I am even more tickled to find that FOX News bothers you even more than I first thought.
But let's get to the point, shall we?
I point out to Mungo that his information about the Scapular is actually not accurate as per the Vatican and several Popes.
I provide ONLY a link and the actual wording of the information from the Vatican and from the religious order itself.
You then out of the blue chime in with: "Well, it is always nice to be able to mock the things you used to believe in, yourself and other Christians still find meaningful, right Foreigner?"
You then follow up with: "If you judge a religious tradition by their uneducated members, you can find all kinds of errors to exploit."
I point out that this tradition, one that states,"that whosoever dies clothed in this shall never suffer eternal fire ...." and
"I, Mother of Grace, shall descent on the Saturday afte rtheir death and whomever I shall find in Purgatory, I shall free, so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of everlasting life" has actually been supported by multiple Popes and saints throughout history.
Now, if you feel that this tradition is wrong and yet several Popes support it, just who exactly falls into the category of "uneducated member?"
I eagerly await your answer.
Please try to focus on this specific answer, though, and let's avoid the tangents, shall we?
