True, but with the Latin Mass Society pressing for a Latin Mass in normal parishes, and the Anglican Ordinariates having no Churches as their own, there could be 3 options in the same parish. That could be interesting.

So some Catholics could have Mass choices of: Latin Ordinary Rite Latin Extraordinary Rite Anglican Rite Eastern Rite The first three even being in the same Church (at different times). Gives a new meaning to cafeteria Catholic. I wonder if Pope Benedict understands the can of worms he has...

So when the new Anglican Ordinariate is established will Latin Rite Catholics be able to attend Mass and receive communion (& fulfill Sunday obligation) at Anglican Ordinariate Masses?

Peter was appointed as leader of the apostles and his successors have the same office.

The Three Musketeers, or are you going for the Magnificent Seven?

I assume to mean Jn 21:15-17 rather than Mt 16:13-20. So you accept the other two quotes do refer to the office of Pope? I didn’t comment to you on either of them. I just added a comment to CryptoLutheran’s comment. However I wouldn’t invite John XII to my house either. He was a...

I don't know what you mean by the codex of miracles. Apart from an investigation into the worthiness of a person's life, one miracle that is demonstrably a result of the candidates intercession is required for them to become Blessed, and two to become Saint.

Yes, Pius XII has been treated very unjustly Never were the Jews and the Vatican so close as during World War II. The Vatican was the only place on the continent where they had any friends. The great Jewish physicist, Albert Einstein, who himself barely escaped...

Do you mean the office of Pope or the word Pope? The word Pope is not mentioned just as the word Trinity is not mentioned. The word is irrelevant. However as Oscarr's original question and my reply concerned the office not the title I will assume you mean the office. The office is taught in...

I don't know what happens in Eastern rites, but in the Latin rite the hosts that are used for the congregation are small individual ones. The larger "priests host" that the priest uses at the consecration is already scored and so can easily be broken into pieces

Why does the Holy Spirit teach people different things?

So really you want to rename General Theology to Protestant Theology.

There is no context in a Jewish feast for someone holding up a piece of bread and saying “This is my body”. The context is given in John chapter 6 I am the bread of life …… I am the living bread that came down from heaven….. unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood...

You espouse a belief that was condemned as false. However that does not make you a heretic. “It is obvious that the old category of ‘heresy’ is no longer of any value. Heresy, for Scripture and the early Church, includes the idea of a personal decision against the unity of the Church, and...

As I said we are just going over the same arguments. I think it's pointless to continue so I will leave this thread.. But'll answer the second part of your post first. It's simple. It's saying the born of God comes first and it is evidenced in belief or love now. It's not belief that results...

And you think that makes a difference? And what do you think the meaning is other than This is my body? You do not "have the words of eternal life". I have not "come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God" We can distinguish between metaphor and literal by the...

You don't understand the theology of transubstantiation. You have to believe that it is Christ's body and blood.
