  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Resurrection Catholic Parish in Tualatin, Oregon, invited Buddhist monks to instruct parishioners on Buddhist practices last month and allowed the monks to carry out their chants and prayers in the sanctuary in front of the altar.

TUALATIN, Oregon (LifeSiteNews) — Tibetan Buddhist monks instructed Catholics in their religious practices and led them in non-Christian chants at a Catholic church in Oregon.

On June 26, 2024, five Buddhist monks were invited to Resurrection Catholic Parish in Tualatin, Oregon. According to the parish pastor, Father Bill Moisant, the monks, whom he does not name, came from the Gaden Shartse Monastery in southern India and are followers of the Dalai Lama. Photographs show that two of them gave a small group of primarily elderly Catholics a presentation on Buddhist “meditation” and led a prayer session in the nave of the church.

I just don't know what to say.
Jesus told Myrna Nazzour, we are the land of iniquity.
He sent her here, but tough crowd.

I saw a meme of a group of 'white humor it was titled' adults giving the finger to a child who opened his Christmas present which was a Bible.

UGH!!

Is it naievete on the part of the Priest or is it a sign of his shallow prayer life or is it something else?

There is a very rich history of contemplative prayer in the Church but no, we have to learn it from Buddhists...right in front of Jesus in the tabernacle.

Guys, this stuff is syncretism, where multiple faiths are combined.

John 14:6 (NIV): "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Deuteronomy 4:2 (NIV): "Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you."

Approaching God Through His Son + Syncretism

Hello folks. Today's study will be on approaching God through Jesus, and the how we must avoid the false doctrine of syncretism. Also, pray for this woman who follows syncretism: Prayers for Abby, a middle aged Christian woman that she leaves Akashic spirituality & Metatron Date June 23...

We have to shut down the TLM and destroy any form of spirituality associated with the TLM. Better to have ANYTHING else but the TLM.:liturgy:

Both the Catholic's actions for allowing this to happen, and having Buddhists perform their own service in a Christian church.

I did not know we were allowed to say things like that about Christian groups, members, or leaders.

I am not sure, but we have to keep Christianity pure, and clean of anything dark or un-Christian.

I went to a Catholic Church where the ultra-liberal priest kept trying to get the nun to give the homily. He called it a "talk". :rolleyes: And this same priest let people dance up and down the isles dressed in Hawaiian-looking garb (I don't know for sure what it was).

The first part is slightly off and should not be in church, but the second part is disturbing.

He was always doing stuff like that. It was like he thought he was getting something over on God.

This particular priest has passed away, but I'm sure there are more out there like that.
