    Barney Frank is now my hero

    First of all, the war was no secret. It was on the news every night. Second of all, as usual, the weak appeasment democrats were going to cut off funds shaft the men in the field just like they did in Viet Nam, and Reagan needed to keep them funded. So he rips off the terrorist regime in...

    Is Hell for JUST Satan and his devils?

    IV. HELL 1033 We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer...

    Confess Your Sins- but to whom? God? The congregation? A Priest?

    Your opinion is your opinion: It is not Holy Writ. I don't hold to a higher standard than Paul. I hold to a different interpretaition of his writings, thats all. And our intepretation is the traditional, historical intepretation, not your new-fangled 500-year-old intepretation. And that "Not...

    Barney Frank is now my hero

    Who cares WHO is financing it. If the people at the meeting didn't agree with it, they wouldn't be there whether it is organized or not. And that is the other bogus straw man in this whole argument. If I have a point of view, what does it matter if I go express it by myself or if I join up...

    Confess Your Sins- but to whom? God? The congregation? A Priest?

    Yes, I want to piggy back on this. Mr Polo is exactly correct. In fact, the Catechism specifically says it is God who forgives sins (which is pretty obvious): Only God forgives sin 1441 Only God forgives sins.39 Since he is the Son of God, Jesus says of himself, "The Son of man has...

    Have you read The Lambs Supper by Scott Hahn?

    But that is what is so special about him. While most academics and professors love to write papers that only other academics can understand - which Scott Hahn is quite capable of - Scott Hahn writes books that are tailored for the average Christian to understand. Even the Pope, God love him...

    Confess Your Sins- but to whom? God? The congregation? A Priest?

    What can man do for you? He can fullfil the duty that Christ gave him, that's what: John 20:19–23 ".....As the Father has sent me, even so I send you... ..If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." And remember: Men wrote the...

    No one was shuttled anywhere. And at any rate, the Liberals have perfected that type of thing to an art form. Evereytime Liberals demostrate in the streets, whether its over abortion, war, or whatever, they are TOTALLY organized. They have professionaly made signs, professionaly made T-Shirts...

    Barney Frank is now my hero

    So, what does it feel like to put down your own country and draw a moral equivalency between the greatest nation on earth that has liberated millions oppresed people, and every terrorist state & banana republic despot?

    Will the Ark of God be found?

    There's a church in Europe that claims to have a piece of the cross. I saw a special on it. I have forgotten the details (I suppose I could investigate) but it apparently made its journey for the when Constatine's wife first foud it on her trip to Jerusalam (I think it was Constatine's wife) and...
