not terribly surprising

it was boniface VIII. since it's 2am EST i dont' have the time to gist it down but for a very interesting read always trust new advent. bonifice viii had his pecularities for sure.... bonifice viii http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02662a.htm

hmmm...i dunno if it's possible to speak to the private reaction of a priest to confession and i certainly wouldn't couch it in the terms of a simple man-to-man conversation. our response to confession should be gratitude as it is the power that Jesus gave to His Church and His Disciples. As...

i am unsure of what to say that has not already been said....i pray not only for your loss but that you also find comfort in your time of need. matt

blessings- i'm not sure that i'm able to answer this in a better way than rising_suns did....however.... Jesus is not half God and half man...He is fully God and fully man. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh. Jesus was not merely man that had God with him, nor...

indeed...what mattmmm said. either that or hit ctrl alt del when you first start up (before you load anything), select the "processes" tab and take a look at what you have. if you have anything with a bunch of "xxx" or a bunch of random letters right click on them and hit end process. that...

very cool. i reg'd at smh a few weeks ago. so you've got to put in your name and email. big deal....still a good paper.

quite true. i suppose i'm just used to hearing the chorus of "the surpreme court ducked the issue!" and other such stuff. all clear now.

silly of me not to recognize that bush sits smack in the middle of the making the trains run on time / trying to kill all the jews continuum

so....what would you have them done? is your desire for a ruling on the case more important that the court actually following the law irrespective that you think it was a cop out? i hope that you never have to deal with a child custody case...at the very least then perhaps you'd understand why...

8 posts until something entirely unconnected with bush receives a bush-bashing mention. at least folks around here are consistent.

please note the key points of scalia's dissent in hamdi v. rumsfeld. nb: he would most likely have been in favor of padilla. just to show that he's not a typical old crone: Absent suspension of the writ, a citizen held where the courts are open is entitled either to criminal trial or to a...

from CNN since no one can seem to make a comment that isn't silly: WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court delivered a mixed verdict Monday on the Bush administration's anti-terrorism policies, ruling that the U.S. government has the power to hold American citizens and foreign nationals without...

truly, every person in detention has been a victim of torture. i must remember to paint with an exceedingly broad brush in all my comments.

just moved across the wires....more later. Supreme Court substantially rules for Bush administration in terrorism detention case The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a partial victory to the Bush administration in its war on terrorism Monday, ruling narrowly that Congress gave President George...

i'd be very surprised if he went. even more surprised if the secret service let him.

i think that the whole episode, and this thread, rate very high on the unintentional comedy scale. fantastic. o.d.

the only refutation that i could possibly give is to say that it's apparently that not everyone wants to be the same faith as they are in the long run. perhaps the question shouldn't be termed in a manner of "why a catholic would want to be baptist" or vice versa, rather it should ask about the...

just so i make sure i'm on the right page, when defining the two ex cathedra statements i assume that we're talking about the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception and the doctrine of the Bodily Assumption of Mary were taught infallibly by Popes Pius IX and Pius XII in 1854 and 1950...

excellent. thanks.
