  • 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.

Telling someone to read between the lines is not a correction - it is an assumption at best.
This isn't the first time I needed to correct you on Catholic issues, and given your attitude, it won't be the last.

I don't recall ever being 'corrected by you - not in this thread, nor any other - I have no clue as to your background and beyond insults, innuendo, and occasionally pontificating, which to me is sophomoric in nature. I place zero value or veracity in your posts.

if you ever become cogent and/or cordial I will gladly engage.

Because some people here think because I am not Roman Catholic, it automatically makes me ignorant. Which is ignorance itself. The thought that anyone who disagrees is obviously ill informed is gross ignorance IMHO and reminding those detractors that I am educated helps other readers understand my back ground.
If you have to tell people you're educated...it kind of calls into question the quality of that education.
Why does that bother you so much?

I quoted the article verbatim -
the article is from the Vatican -
Your issues are not with me, but the Vatican.

Nope not any more that the numerous thread discussing theology of the 'Protestant (His Church also)' denominations.

See - this is the General Theology Forum, where we are free to discuss any Christian Theological Topics.

There is no protected class here - there are forums where the Roman Catholic Church is protected - that is why I don't post there.

But to restate yet again:

From the Vatican:



Sole means - only.
Appears the Vatican is simply giving guidance about a term they never officially endorsed, by stating it is inappropriate. What doesn't seem to be happening is any change in what the Catholic church teaches...because they never sanctioned the title.

Not quite an opinion, since educated individuals rarely need to disclose how they came by that education. If the only way people know you've read books is repeated reminders of the degree you possess there's something wrong. Show, don't tell.

Anything on the topic of the thread?

Which evidently is troubling to some so much they have to deflect.

The title of the Thread is a lie. The Vatican has not stopped using titles for Mary.

And the press release itself doesn't indicate a change of theology, but only says it will not use the Title of Co-Redemptrix because of the confusion is causes.

And when the OP is called out, act all innocent.

Yes, you keep reminding everyone about that :doh:I wonder why?
I thought the same thing CC when I read his post. Why his continuous appeal to authority? Hmmm.... it does make one wonder.


Have a Blessed day!

Oh, let's look shall we -

Catholic News Agency -

Vatican nixes use of 'Co-Redemptrix' as title for Mary
Definition: nixed; nixing; nixes
Synonyms of nix
transitive verb
US, informal
: to refuse to accept or allow (something) : veto, reject

What makes you think the Catholic News Agency is lying about a letter from Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith? Which was approved by the pope -

Pope Leo XIV approved the document, signed by DDF prefect Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, on Oct. 7.

Especially when the good Reverend states plainly:


In a preface to the note, Fernández wrote that the document responds to questions the dicastery received in recent decades about Marian devotion and certain Marian titles, and clarifies which are acceptable.
The DDF concluded that “some titles, such as ‘Mediatrix of All Graces,’ have limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place.”
I offered no comment other than to quote the article. Thank you.

I kindly refer you to the following:


Handling Disagreements

Members who participate in the General Theology forums are expected to treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times, ESPECIALLY when you disagree with each other. It is not a flame for a member to disagree with another member's argument or opinion on a specific topic.
  • When you disagree, address the content of the post and not the poster.
  • When you disagree with someone's position, you should post evidence and supporting statements for your position. This policy, sometimes referred to as "X means Y because of Z", must be followed especially when posting claims that are widely considered to be controversial.
Thank you.

Would like a little cheese with your whine? Easiest way to avoid correction is to make sure what is posted is true.

It means that the copy editor needed a short word that sort of applied for the topic at hand. Not always the proper word, but one of the correct length. One generally has to go to the source itself for the accurate sense and not rely on the choice of a copy editor who may or may not have a degree in theology.

I was asking in refence to the title of the thread - they mean the same thing.

Why are my Roman Catholic Brothers and Sisters so very defensive, that one cannot even ask a question or request clarification.

The pope agrees with a paper from the head of the Roman Catholic Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith which plainly states the Mary is NOT a co-redemtrix and the title should not be used.

It is quoted from a Catholic source with documentation.

Instead of just simply discussing the matter, ad hominin attacks - name calling - personal accusations are offered. It's just so strange a series of replies. I mean, the belief systems aren't being attacked, just talking about a current issue from the Roman Catholic church - to the Roman Catholic church and I'm asking my Roman Catholic Brothers and Sisters what they think.

I think it is better to read a document in Toto instead of relying on a headline. Headlines can be quoted misleading. When I get home tomorrow I can download and read the whole thing instead of accepting one of the various takes from other people, including the ‘nix’ view, which does not accord with other views I have seen so far. If that’s defensive, so be it.
