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.

It's from the Apostles. The Bible is consistent with the Trinity, and the Apostles taught the Trinity. It's not from the Apostles. Everything from the Apostles is ancient, any notion that dates to long after the Apostolic era, is not Apostolic because it cannot be Apostolic.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about: you feel that a law is infringing your freedom, so you get your free lawyer to file a lawsuit. Your attorney, free of charge, will work through the appropriate channels to get it in front of judge, and if you don't like the ruling, your lawyer will...

I agree. We need to inspect ourselves to see the morals that He put into us. They are our rights, they are God-given, they are in our DNA.

If that's what you think I mean, then no.* In that case, I mean, the right to free legal representation. Because every single one of these matters you raise, needs multiple law firms working on them in order to hash them all out in a society and polity such as ours, that believes in protecting...

'Big fan of the Spanish Inquisition, huh? That was all OK, right? Using force to promote your own personal ethics, which is cultivated in a person who doesn't even pay homage to the whole /entire /catholic Sacred Tradition generated by the Apostles, and instead is playing a game where the...

And we err in gravity too. When doing something is not a crime, then even if it's unethical, according to some moral philosophy, it's not as serious as when someone commits violent crime, no matter what it is. Believing in God is an example of a moral philosophy, and there are other moral...

That's exactly what us liberals think, who believe in natural human rights. Nothing should ever overrule our rights, because they are God-given.

This is my personal experience converting to Catholicism. Come, to Mass.

I was referring to Doser 'doin somethin right', not his dad. Doser must be 'doin somethin right' to still have his dad with him at 95 years old.

The new software apparently doesn't have the same "actives" counter. But total visitors (including users, plus anybody else) are frequently now in the 20s, sometimes even less.

Thanks Debbie Downer. What is your point anyway. You don't think Doser is blessed, and that he must be 'doin somethin right', to still have his dad at 95 years old?

That's awesome. You are blessed. Must be doin somethin right!

That is literally all about coming to Mass. The Holy of Holies in the New Covenant is the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, as He said He is Present wherever two or three are gathered in His name, we know that this means Mass, and has so since Acts 2:42, very early in Acts. "God wills...

It seems "much worse" that we are to come to Mass every week, but in the end, it is a lot better and a lot bigger! Come, to Mass.

Nice.
