    Catholic Only Mary ...

    I have always observed when traveling on the missions up and down the Potomac, that whenever the steamer came to the point opposite Mount Vernon the bell was tolled, and every eye was directed toward Washington's grave. The 22nd of February, Washington's birthday, is kept as a national holiday...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    There is joy in Mary's heart in being chosen to become the mother of the world's Redeemer. She wishes by her visit to communicate that joy to her cousin. The Sun of Justice is shining within her. She desires to diffuse His rays through Elizabeth's household. She is laden with spiritual...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    The liturgies of the Church, being the established formularies of her public worship, are among the most authoritative documents that can be adduced in favor of any religious practice. In the liturgy ascribed to St. James, Mary is commemorated as "our most holy, immaculate and most glorious...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    But it may be said the Blessed Virgin is not the Mother of the Divinity. She had not, and she could not have, any part in the generation of the Word of God, for that generation is eternal; her maternal is temporal. He is her Creator; she is His creature. Style her, if you will, the Mother of the...

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    Wherever his translation is accurate it is good and where it is not it is not good. Can you cite or quote one or two places where Tyndale is accurate and at the same time contradicts the teaching of the Catholic Church?

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    I think he was killed because he really insulted and upset Henry VIII but no doubt his religious opinions also made him a heretic and many nations in the sixteenth century killed people for heresy. I do not see how his translation work (mainly in the new testament) solved any problem that needed...

    Catholic Only Outside the church there is no salvation.

    II. Separated Churches and Ecclesial Communities in the West 19. In the great upheaval which began in the West toward the end of the Middle Ages, and in later times too, Churches and ecclesial Communities came to be separated from the Apostolic See of Rome. Yet they have retained a particularly...

    Catholic Only Outside the church there is no salvation.

    The previous posts are taken from a Catechetical work written by James Cardinal Gibbins in the 19th century. The following is taken from one of the decrees of the second Vatican Council. It addresses Catholic views on Ecumenism. CHAPTER III CHURCHES AND ECCLESIAL COMMUNITIES SEPARATED FROM THE...

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    The Vulgate is Catholic, and the ancient Greek bible is Orthodox. If these are "part of the problem" where do you propose that the solution is to be found? Surely the Bible in English is not the original from which all others are to be translated?

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    The first bibles in Saxon were Catholic so too the first bibles in old English were Catholic and the first bible in early Modern English was Catholic; in fact the Douay-Rheims Bible was translated and printed before the KJV. So the work of Tyndale was far from the first English bible. Old...

    Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?

    The point made in my post is that the meaning associated with "moon as blood" was, at the time the prophets wrote, not that there'd be four lunar total eclipses in a row and whatever other rules John Hagee made for a "blood moon".

    Bashar al-Assad may be a creep and a killer so he is not the sort of man one would vote for but the folk that the USA has backed may also be killers and creeps and so they are not the sort of people one would vote for either. Islamic State may not have come into existence but for the USA's...
