  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Because he can draw from grace of Jesus Christ and the merits of the Saints.

Hi LR,

How does he draw it...Is it the "hocus pocus" that tyndale mentioned, which incidentally has it's origin in transubstantiation....

Just wanted to say that the Vatican Catholic Church is by far more orthodox than most others and, unlike most, is a truly Apostolic Church by which God works through.

That is all. :wave:
because of course God requires a certain organization, or certain type of organization, with which to work through. /sarcasm
Lourdes is a Holy site and has seen many miracles and convertions to the Lord.

Your walking a dangerous path. Your in danger in commiting the unforgivable sin.

Peace
:D you can't know the number of times the "unforgivable sin" has been attached to "not believing as we do."



In regards to the OP... this should come as no shock. This is not a new thing. I can think of one Pope in the past who promised the same sort of thing if men would fight in the crusades.

LOL.

Hell must be full by now and the rest of us get to go to heck.

Seriously though. One thing is not beliving another is ascribing a belive to Satan.

I myself will attribute no teaching held by other sects of Christianity as "from Satan." I know Satan is a deciever. He deceives even Christians. There is always the possibility of being wrong, however. (we ALL need to acknowledge this, I don't think anyone really does.) So, best not to level that accusation.

Throughout the history of the Roman Catholic Church she has had some good Popes and some bad ones. I believe that Pope Benedict XVI is undoing very much of the outstanding work done by his recent predecessors and he is a horrible embarrassment to the portion of the Roman Catholic Church who has a solid knowledge of the Bible and the progress that was made by the reforms of the Second Vatican Council . I believe that Pope Benedict XVI will go down in history as one of the very worst Popes, certainly one of the worst in modern times.

Which is not what the pope. He is only infallable in matters of faith and morals when teaching the faith. And even then he has to define it.

Peace
Except we know that the pope is fallible in such matters.
