    Something controversial!

    I have no idea why Albion brought up Mormons. But since he did I can see reasons for Christianity Haven excluding Mormons from "Christian theology", for example, because Mormons reject several of the doctrines taught in the Nicene Creed; specifically, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day...

    iBot Poll: What Are Americans (United States)Known For?

    Baseball. It's a very USA sport. USA tourists and USA residents in Australia are - for the most part - liked and appreciated. Many are polite, decent, intelligent, and sensitive when visiting. There are exceptions to this description but that is true of every nation that sends tourists out...

    SPIRITUAL MORSELS from the Ancient Fathers

    “Dear friends, if you learn to discover Jesus in the Eucharist, you will also know how to discover Him in your brothers and sisters, particularly the very poor.” (Saint John Paul II) Not ancient, not yet anyway, give it 3,000 years :)

    The 73 canonical books of Holy Scripture.

    Protestant usually claim 66 books in their bible. Catholics say 73. Greek Orthodox and Slavonic Orthodox say 76*. Georgian Orthodox say 78*. Syriac Orthodox say 78* but with 4 differences between them as Georgians. * - according to Wikipedia. I will stick with the 73 of the Catholic bible. So...

    I was a stranger, and ye took me not in.

    I knew a chap who was a Calvinist and then started to consider Catholicism and finally decided that his "tribe" was the religion of his teen years - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I suspect that tribe really does count for a lot with people. But most people may be reluctant to...

    Something controversial!

    A lot of folk say that the "catholic church" is the whole body of "believers" but then fairly quickly exclude people that they do not particularly like; for example, they may exclude Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic, Orthodox, or Pentecostal Christians. But I guess there's no accounting for...

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    You're right. Nothing profane in it. It is used only once in the holy scriptures. It isn't used outside of the holy scriptures as far as I've been able to discover. It's possible that saint Paul invented the word.

    Leadings

    I watched an old film called "Dragonwyck" that had a Methodist family (in the year 1844 and the state of Connecticut) making decisions by leadings. The leadings of the Lord in the film were tied to opening the bible with eyes closed and placing a finger on the opened pages and then reading what...

    Martyrs and saints.

    Does your reply mean that some martyrs are not saints in heaven? After all I did ask In my lifetime many Catholic missionaries, monks, nuns, and lay people have died as martyrs for their faith. Are martyrs saints in heaven according to your thinking?

    Something controversial!

    It's a nice, and amusing video that is accurate as far as I know. I suspect I shall not become pope ... alas :smirk: One thing that the process of selection makes clear is that in the Catholic Church self promotion is not very likely to end in appointment as pope, cardinal, bishop, or even...

    Yes, we all try in our own ways. There's a degree of predictability about who offered replies and what sort of replies they offered. Nevertheless hope springs eternal in the human heart. :)

    Numerous saints referred to the following passages when discussing purgatory Isaiah 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgement and by a spirit of burning.

    Salvation

    Protestants have their own culture and their own ways of looking at their 66 books of scripture. Each denomination has something of its own. Something that is distinctive to their way of teaching, worshipping, and praying. Most appear to agree on some matters. I am happy in the barque of saint...

    Conscience

    Can you trust your conscience? The Gentiles do not have the Law of Moses; they sin and are lost apart from the Law. The Jews have the Law; they sin and are judged by the Law. For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands. The Gentiles do...
