    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Well said, gluadys. This is why I am baffled by the evolutionists´ insistence that the fossil record supports their theory, when it manifestly does not. There are NO transitional fossils, as even emminent evolutionists admit. How on Earth can you believe in evolution, if there are absolutely no...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Hello Assyrian, As far as I understand, you have to make assumptions, whether you believe in evolution, creation, or anything else. You wouldn´t get out of bed in the morning if you didn´t make assumptions. So when I hear someone say that he is completely objective and makes no assumptions, I...

    What did Jesus look like?

    I don´t know what you were told in Sunday school. However, what I do know is that the face on the shroud of Turin is startlingly like the icons that you can see from the Middle Ages around the world. I also know that this face inspires devotion, whether or not you believe it really is the...

    What did Jesus look like?

    :o This image just doesn´t do it for me! I´m not referring to the racial aspects of Christ´s face, but to the stupid expression of this image. My God is not an air-head! I cannot conceive of a christian believing this face is anything like that of Christ´s. How about this...

    Did anyone watch the Whitney Houston funeral?

    Sorry, but are you accusing me of being disobedient to the Pope? Simply pointing out the obvious, that VII brought about a crisis in the Church, is not disobedience. It won´t help much if everybody else refuses to acknowledge the crisis, and we all pretend there isn´t a pink elephant in the...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Jase, you call me a "fundie troll" beacuse I said homosexuality is an abomination. I do not know exactly what this means (although it does not sound good!), but perhaps in the light of this verse: And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination (Leviticus...

    Did anyone watch the Whitney Houston funeral?

    That is an awfully loaded post! If I were to unpack it, we could be here all day. I profoundly disagree with the new "orientation" the Church has taken since VII. That is why I am a traditionalist; I think things were working just fine until Pope John XXIII decided to re-invent the wheel...

    Did anyone watch the Whitney Houston funeral?

    Exactly! The Church is wrong NOW, not in doctrine, but in practice. And this is why, as your signature says, "millions of Americans are confused as to what it means to be catholic."

    Did anyone watch the Whitney Houston funeral?

    What is it you fail to understand about a public sin needing public restitution? Nobody denies the efficacy of the sacraments. I have insisted that I do not know whether Ted Kennedy, Whitney Houston, or anyone else is in Hell. That is not the issue. The issue is the need for example. If you...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Thank you very much for the recommendation. I will certainly look into it. God bless you.

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Hello Papias, you sound very informed. It´s nice to learn that there is a catholic involved in this. Yes, I had heard a lot about Michael Behe, but I didn´t know he was catholic. I do not go along with your assertion that catholics believed in some form of evolution prior to Darwin. The...

    Did anyone watch the Whitney Houston funeral?

    What you say about the funeral rites having no effect on the deceased´s soul is correct, but that is exactly the point I was making. I said that denying a funeral to someone who lived and died in manifest sin does NOT mean the Church condemns them to Hell. As you say, the funeral is for the...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    I have talked about it with the priest who says the Traditional Mass where I go normally. He is not SSPX. He says he believes in intelligent design. ^_^ That is funny!! Since when is the holocaust "truth"? I would not be inclined to use this term in a theological sense for anything outside...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    My basis at the moment for believing Creationism would be Holy Scripture, although I have not thought it out enough yet to say I believe in it or not. Our Lord tells us to judge by the fruits. Name me a single fruit of evolutionism that has been good for the salvation of souls. I could give...

    Why should christians trust evolutionists?

    Ted, even though you are not catholic (nobody is perfect), I sense we are on a similar wavelength. I might even be able to convert you to the One True Church! ^_^ I say this because I think you are dead right in your view of the Catholic Church. In her inter-religious dialogue the Church...
