That there is no salvation outside of the Church? Do not the Scriptures teach there is no salvation apart from Christ? The Christ Who established a Church (HIS Church, "my Church" as He puts it), which is His Bride, and the "pillar and foundation of truth" as the Scriptures explicitly teach...

isshinwhat (whatever that means) You probably assume (wrongly) that I'm a Feeneyite. Given that I know better, and the official publishing organ of the SSPX (Angelus Press) has published literature refuting Feeneyism, I think it's safe to say where I don't stand on the matter. As for...

Wolseley, By that logic, the Canaanites call Him "Baal". I spit at such a thought, and deny it, and call it the blasphemy it is, of course. Who is the anti-Christ, according to St.Johh, Wolseley?

Modernists, either implicitly or explicitly (usually this is a difference between "conservative" and "liberal" persons) adhere to the heresy of Modernism, which was condemned as a heresy by Pope St.Pius X, and His successors thereafter, until John XXIII. According to Pacendi Gregis, a...

The "charismatic" movement is yet another wicked Protestant deception that has crept it's way into the Catholic Church by way of ecumenism. The Catholic Church teaches dogmatically, and with certainty, that a person receives the Holy Spirit in Confirmation. He imposes a unique character upon...

What I think, is that it's sad when a man has to hear God's truth from the mouth of a donkey. (Numbers 22:28-30) The Catechism is simply wrong, as are the ecumenists who are betraying Christ, teaching Catholics worship the same God as the Jews and Muslims do. Since both reject the Holy...

St.Peter was freed from prison by an angel according to Acts 12. When a woman heard him knocking on their door and told the others, they were in disbelief; they didn't think it could possibly be St.Peter; 15 They said to her, "You are mad." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is...

Hoonbaba, As a precept of law for Baptized persons; yes. Absolutely necessary though? Strictly speaking, no. It is possible to have one's sins forgiven via perfect contrition (genuine, absolute sorrow before God, not simply because one fears what He'll do to them...much like being...

Wolsely, What legal positivist universe do you live in? You seem to believe that the authority of the Pope is absolute and universal. That is not Catholic teaching. The Pope is subject to Divine Law, as are the human laws he puts into effect. My question still goes out to you; if a...

I've attended conferences with John Vennari and read enough of his works to HIGHLY doubt he would have claimed Bugnini was a "traditionalist". If anything it's well known that Pope Paul VI sent Bugnini into exile (to some obscure diocese in Iran...that is always a sign you've fallen out of...

Wolsely, I suppose you believe that if the Pope told you to rape a child, you'd have to do that as well, yes? The Pope can no more order a man to tolerate religious indifferentism and Protestantism than he can order you to rape or kill someone. It's beyond the authority God gave him. As...

Anyone worshiping false gods is doing something that is positively evil. Objectively (at the very least) it is a horrible injustice, and an affront to the first commandment. Thus a religion built upon idolatry, is evil.

...have mercy on us! Immaculate Heart of Mary; Pray for us! Thus, I BELIEVE that ALL verses are TRUE. However, if there are verses that APPEAR (because of interpretation) to contradict OTHER verses, I follow what apostle Paul teaches in 1 Cor. 2:13 and COMPARE Scriptures to arrive at the...

...how does his affiliation with the SSPX make him a "traitor" to the Catholic faith? I've yet to hear an SSPX priest preach heresy, whether in realms of doctrine or morals, and profess anything save the Catholic faith. Nor have I seen any of them go to Italy, and pray with Buddhists...

I noticed there was an inquiry into the subject of there being (allegedly) a lot of "perverts" in the Catholic clergy. First, I think the motives of people asking the question need to be examined. Are they really concerned about kids, or is this polemical? Even if it is the latter, however...

Wolsely: No. Only artificial birth control. Moi: Mmmm...not quite. While it is true that the big offence in artificial birth control is it's eschewing of natural law, Catholics are also forbidden to subscribe to the "contraceptive mentality", which a selfish and uncritical practice of...

Godbrain: What a post Augustine. You live up to the name. You made some great agreements and i am persuaded that Catholics do have the highest moral standing on birth control, One that is entirely based on a correct interpretation of the will of god. Moi: Well I'm happy that you accept...

I'll speak from a very traditional, old school view on the subject. Thus it may differ slightly from the response other Catholics in here give. "Sex", meaning conjugal relations, are seen as neither being excutiatingly beautiful, or inherently wicked in Catholicism. They are what they are...

My feeling is that the subject needs to be examined on two levels. The first, being the lyrical content of any piece, second it's style and emotional impact. Lyrically, a lot of contemporary music is atrocious. This isn't just Heavy Metal music I'm speaking of either, though it's definatly...

I know it's tempting, but in the end having to beat a dead horse is just as much about our own ego as it is about defending truth. I know, I've been there. I can only say, don't bother with that forum. If they don't want to hear you, and they're going to be ignorant about it, don't...
