GK Chesterton, the Apostle of Common Sense! Read his writings I urge you, he has so much to say of imense relevance. Here is another quote: "One is told not to discuss Religion or Politics, well, these are probably the only two things in life worth discussing".
its not a matter of whether this person should be a God Parent, the question is whether the baptism should take place at all now. Parents must promise to bring their child up in the faith. If they want to appoint a transvestite to do that, they obviously are not taking such a promise in the right frame of mind, and so the baptism should not be allowed.
Judge not and you shall not be judged. I don't think you've read the letter from the bishop if you curse the bishop as some have. It implies that permission was never granted in the first place by the bishop to have said mass here, it also implies that mass is being said by some priests who do not have the faculties to say the mass under the bishops direction (SSPX I guess? Rightly so, they have chosen to leave the visible confines of the church in my opinion: God says: "What I want is obedience, not sacrifice", that is, God wants people to be obedient to the Pope and his bishops (his appointees) first, even if sacrifices are not to be done "properly", as SSPX member allege - do what God wants, not what you want and you might make it to heaven. SSPX member in my opinion suffer from secularism: they believe more in their own individual selves than the communal body of Christ). It is the bishops right and duty under these circumstances to protect the beauty and integrity of the mass by taking away the eucharist if it being abused. If you are SSPX, convert and come back to God. Be obedient, putting God first, rather than yourself and your own understanding of the mass, even if you are right in saying the mass is "better" under the extraordinary form.
Pope Francis' remarks are not new, see the catechism of the catholic church: "...They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition." CCC#2358
If you think Pope Francis' words are new, I think you haven't read the Catechism of the catholic church, (see paragraph 2358: "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.") direct quotation. If you haven't heard this before, perhaps you have never heard Pope Benedict, Pope John Paul II and a host other senior clergy. If you haven't heard this before, you should be questioning where you hear about the church from.
Stonewall are bullies! Why would you invite an infamous unrepentant bully to teach others about bullying? Do want to teach children how to bully properly, is that it? I saw Stonewall activists live in action about 15 years ago, when its managing director Peter Tatchell and his cohort attempted to interupt and stiffle a Christian talk on pacifism. Why? Because the main speaker was the late Cardinal Winning from Glasgow, Scotland whom they hate as he we very pro-life, and argued against teaching children about homosexuality in schools. God bless the deceased Cardinal Winning. They attempt to silence those who disagree with them and attempt to defeat freedom of speech. That is not the behaviour I would associate with an anti-bully group.
HI, I like the new look of GloriaTV, but I cannot find two important things for me: 1. I cannot go to Gloriatv every day, so i liked seeing the main news the previous day, and the prior day to that too. How can I do this now? 2. I liked the 5 daily written articles. Has this now stopped, or is it elsewhere? Yours in Christ Peter
Guess when the german law banning homeschooling came into effect?It was the 1930s. Do you know who was in power in germany then? Some effects of totalitarianism still live with us today. May God bless this family.
Even if the morning after pill wasn't an abortifacent, the catechsim of the catholic church teaches that contraception is "intrinsically evil" that is, no matter what the circumstances, it cannot be used. So is saying contraception is ok??? The Twit!!!
