Since predestination to eternal life and predestination to eternal punishment is entirely decided by being in (or outside) of the body of Christ is there any point in debating about Judas Iscariot? It is Jesus who is predestined to eternal life and all others are predestined to eternal...
I am inclined to think that predestination refers to those incorporated into Christ through baptism and faith - such would be predestined to eternal life inasmuch as they are in Christ and receive life from him (eternal life being the life of God in them as members of the body of Christ) - and...
Within the Catholic Church some people who are contentious in their faith reject artificial means of contraception and do not seek to limit family size by carefully choosing the times when they have sexual intercourse. Some people who are contentious in their faith reject artificial means of...

It does not surprise me. I know a number of Catholics who died and after receiving the anointing of the sick and especially after receiving the Viatecum both the dying person and the family and friends received blessings despite the grief of losing a loved one.
"A right" is not something I've ever seen in scripture. The law set some rules about deciding disputes and God commands the good treatment of foreigners residing in the land, good treatment of the poor and orphans and widows and so forth but rights in the sense of a bill of rights - as the USA...

Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Heb. 12:14
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

Universalis has prayers from the Divine Office (also known as the book of hours) covering the seven daily prayer "hours". I use it as well as a printed book called The People's Prayer Book.
"Private opinion", I suppose "private parts" (slight chuckle here), "private prayer language", "private quarters", I suppose they all point to privacy being part of the world of the first century and who can deny that such was the case in a pre-CCTV and pre-listening-device era?

Here's a selection of verses using "private"
(Genesis 43:32) Joseph was served at his private table, the brothers off by themselves and the Egyptians off by themselves (Egyptians won't eat at the same table with Hebrews; it's repulsive to them).
