I realise that Steven Crowder and his ilk would have you believe that rubbish but it just isn't so. The party may have started off as a socialist party and that was long gone in thinking and action by the time he had a tight hold on power. Hitler and his henchman were fascists from the far right.

I would have thought the biggest clue regarding Hitler and his Nazi party being extreme right wing would have been that it was a fascist regime. The use of the word socialist does not mean the regime was socialist.

This is such a tragedy and I pray for those departed souls, the family, and friends of those who lost their lives and those who were present that will have to live with the dreadful experience they had to endure. My prayers also go out to the people of New Zealand who in the past had not...

Out of the Christian mystics Julian of Norwich is one of my favourites along with John duns Scotus and St. Bonaventure both OFM

As a Franciscan Tertiary obviously my choice would be St. Francis and St. Clare.

So you mean not your specific subset?

I don't believe anyone has argued that he didn't have something to do with the beginning of the end. If you wish to learn something about the history behind the tensions of the Church in England and Rome you could try reading the books that have been recommended above.

I can imagine POTUS sitting in the oval office listening to this track from Pink Floyd and wondering where he is going to get the money to build another wall, naughty little Canadians...

Other than my daily Bible reading plan from Scripture Union, I will be studying the set text my Pauline Letters subject at university.

I don't believe I was talking to you BC I was in a side conversation with David, which has since been terminated.

David if the author was a Franciscan scholar I might give their opinion some credibility but given the author did not even bother to cite sources for their assertions I will take it with a grain of salt. As I have said I have read the Franciscan stories as I am a Franciscan brother and I know...

I disagree I don't believe he does get the gist of that quote - which is attributed to Franciscan philosophy. I agree with the author of that article that says St. Francis did not use those exact words but he teaches his brothers to not just preach with words but to preach also by actions and by...

Looking at your signature picture, obviously Ligon did not get the gist of the quote 'Preach the Gospel daily, use words if necessary.'

I was going to ask the same question...

Exactly

If you believe you have fully understood the mystery that is 'The Trinity' then you haven't. That is not to say you should not try to fully understand the mystery.

Yep - what did Jesus say?

Psa. 105:1 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 2 Sing to him,a sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Words to start...

Amen to that brother...

When I read some of the posts in this topic it makes me think of the words of Jesus from Matt. 25:31-40. It saddens me that here we are 2000 years or so down the track and we still ignore Jesus' call to "Follow Me", not just in the USA by all over the world. Though I do remain optimistic that...
