No it isn't, it's the same; but it's a choice. I choose to pursue Christ and meaning, others do not, they attempt to pursue happiness in some other way, perhaps as a pagan. We don't have a right to punish, penalize or harass such, with our government, and our government should protect such...

If Adam was obviously highly configured dust, and upon death he would return to more randomly configured dust, rather than highly configured dust, which we are while breathing, that's also self-directed, highly configured dust; then it's disintegration of us that's death, there's the medical...

The scripture evidence points directly at Catholicism, that believes in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the Lord said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." The Orthodox literally separate themselves from the Church over one...

Sigh. The Samaritans were people who believed in the same God that the Jews did. But they didn't worship God the right way, literally Jesus told the woman at the well this. You all Noncatholics and Nonorthodox are like the Samaritans were. They were basically Gentiles to the Jews, and to...

I agree with defending our Constitution, being a liberal, believing in constitutionalism, along with the separation of powers and civilian control of the military. And not cultivating the liberal institutions of constitutionalism, separation of powers, and civilian control of the military. So...

Those don't conflict with Catholicism. You don't have evidence that confirms your view, nor that conflicts with Catholicism's view. I know that you don't care either way, anonymous on the internet. irl, there might be some reasoning with you, but you're obstinate online.

The people, obviously, but the trick here and in other central American and South American countries, is that the people generate their regimes, they at least tolerate them in not revolting. It's difficult because many of these countries experience what to us would be serious violent crime...

Aaron.

"John 6:63" doesn't negate everything that leads up to that verse in the second part of that chapter. Christ was dealing with people like you, who said basically, in response to Him saying to eat His flesh and to drink His blood, "Really?" to which He said, "Yes, really." They wondered if He...

So you admit it's a circumstantial case. Thanks for playing.

The Bible is not inconsistent with her ever virginality, just so long as the Lord's siblings are the sons and daughters of St. Joseph from a prior marriage, like that he was a widower and had a family from his first wife. It could also be---speculatively---that he was injured in his privates...

You should have cut it off here: YOU'RE A LIBERAL

Actually licitly celebrating /receiving the Eucharist washes away our filth, the Eucharist cleanses us of the consequences for our venial sins. For grave sins we must reconcile with the Church before receiving again the Eucharist worthily. Come, to Mass.

Verse 8: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist isn't philosophy or vain deceit, nor is it after the tradition of men or after the...

It does. That's what I said. I noticed you didn't reply to the OP, while I did.

The Ark of the Covenant as a type of Mary was something I didn't know about before I got into Catholicism. One of the things to remember about the destruction by Titus of the temple in Jerusalem is that they pinched the Ark as well, and it along with the temple are lost to history after that...

It's where we get the word 'liturgy', as in for example, the liturgy that was celebrated by the Jews at the temple in Jerusalem, and today the liturgy celebrated by Orthodox and Catholic bishops and their priests. The liturgy of Protestants would be going to church on Sunday, singing hymns...

I've told you before. Libertarians are liberals, just like you and all other conservatives are, but with an anarchistic bent, while you conservatives all have a paternalistic bent. Liberals believe in God-given (or otherwise inborn and pre-political, inalienable) rights, and that to best...

Indeed. Come, to Mass.

As far as I'm concerned, it started when I converted to Catholicism, the peace is in receiving Christ in the Eucharist weekly. Some people come to Mass every day just receive His peace in this way.
