It's a matter of liturgy ---- you know this. They can and many do teach valid truths and soteriological or salvific truth, but they don't celebrate Church, Christian liturgy, you know that 'priest work' is called 'liturgy,' and there's such a category as authentic liturgy for the Church. We...

Catholicism imposes a set of ethical judgments, to form some fixed ethical points in the ethical thought of Catholics. E.g. pursue going to weekly Mass, chastity (fleeing sexual perversion), and other completely familiar values. Except for these few fixed points, there is complete latitude in...

Try to stay on topic boys. I know it's tough. Topic being: Your view of the Eucharist (which is that same view as all atheists) was homogenized in a blender and then poured down the sewer. Plenty of Dispensationalists participated in the debate. And none of them could stop it. Jesus Christ...

OK. What about incest, bestiality, polygamy? What about homosexual incest? Do you think that it is moral to outlaw such things? (Assuming of course that there is valid consent. I'm not talking about rape.)

I've got another thread for that. https://theologyonline.com/threads/the-pedophilia.55881/

Perhaps you're thinking about the confusion around who was the real pope for a couple of centuries? The unbroken chain I'm talking about is the chain of bishops. The pope's just one of thousands of bishops, and every one of them was made by a previously validly ordained bishop. The anti-popes...

Yes I am. What in your bolded bit did you think means that this is about salvation at all? What does a valid pastor have to do with salvation? Do you believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist?

You mean move to a different state? NY (like MA) is no friend to free people who wish to morally protect themselves and their families with the best weapons that money can buy. Just beware that possessing off-book guns can and likely will backfire on your heirs who inherit your 'off the grid'...

Immoral law imo. More power to you! There are so many interesting guns out there. And there are some very boring yet highly effective guns too. They're everywhere. It's a good policy to own guns that use parts and ammunition that are plentiful, rather than specialized rare guns that require...

That's enough. It could be a pink blunderbuss, if any part of it "collapses" or folds ---- evil.

A simple yes or no will suffice. You've misread the topic of the thread. This isn't about salvation, this is about communion.

He said she said. Good thing that's not the claim in the OP then. It's that the Protestant view of the communion bread and cup was logically positively proven to be false. That leaves only the Orthodox and the yes Catholic view still standing, which means you have two options if you want to...

Red herring fallacy.

Do you believe in the Real Presence of Him in the Eucharist? Still isn't relevant. There's precisely one valid way to be a Christian /Church pastor, and it's to be made one /appointed by an already valid pastor, the most recent link in an ancient chain that reaches back through time all the...

I believe it as it is explained in the Catechism. Which means, ironically, no. Edit: Also, what does this have to do with the OP or thread?

If there are any users who don't want to read the OP's linked thread, from post 115-217 (just skip past all the filler posts made by @God's Truth lol), here's a write-up that addresses the matter in an essay format instead, but most people aren't persuaded by such writing. Note that it's from...

Nope. Your view, which is the same view as all Protestants, and the same view of all atheists too, was crushed in the impromptu battle royale debate in the OP's linked thread. (@SaulToPaul was there promoting your view. He had no answer to @brewmama, who 'cleaned up'. It began post 115 and...

That's awesome. I was just thinking that your post is consistent with someone who didn't actually read the debate in the OP's linked thread. Because the whole "figurative language" lie was dispatched there.

That's awesome. The Protestant position on the Real Presence has been utterly denied, that the bread and the cup are only symbols. This view has been logically dispatched, in the OP's linked thread. The rhetoric however lives on, in the minds of Protestants (who hold the identical view on the...

A simple explanation of this unfamiliar acronym will enable me to provide you a simple yes or no. Thanks.
