It was a spur of the moment act that is surprising in its lack of discernment and disregard for the eucharist. It is disgusting, but hardly suprising given the 'lets dress up and play church' zietgiest that pervades many an apostate church. <br />When sin, iniquity and transgressions are considered good, and even a blessing, the trampling of the sacred under foot cannot be far behind. And why indeed would one need to honor a sacrament that cleanses from sin, when sin has been abolished by ecclesiastical fiat?Rev.

The Roman Catholic priest in our town, who is also very conservative and the vicar of clergy for this diocese, always and enthusiastically has a blessing of the animals every year. My grandmother loved animals more than some people, too, and there is no way she could be qualified as a liberal.<br /><br />Now, as far as the Eucharist being given to a dog... Ugg. Although just the symbolism of the whole thing is troubling enough, the practice completely disassociates Jesus' body and blood from the purpose for which it is given: forgiveness of sin. I may have missed that class in seminary, and I truly may have, but I never remember dogs being inheritors of original sin. <br /><br />I have also found it puzzling about the double standard regarding abortion and capital punishment. Many pro-capital punishment people are against abortion, which I can see why some may not see as contradictory, but it is a fine line; on the other end however, those who are for abortion and against capital punishment just seem to defy all logic.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013921386098199810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-67702990074488530142010-07-25T17:59:58.159-05:002010-07-25T17:59:58.159-05:00In both cases, I see an abomination,

Liberals use abortion as a sacrament to their beliefs. Liberals coined the phrase pro-choice, but, even that is a lie. They don't women to have a choice, they prefer women to sacrifice their unborn children on the alter of liberalism. If they were pro-choice they would have no problem with women, being offered the option of adoption, and counciled on such "choices". <br />2) communing a pet, reeks of the dogs eating Jezabel in 2 kings chapter 9. thus dishonoring the sacrifice of our Lord (at least the dogs are not partaking in the belief of the Lord's presence in the bread therefore the bread does not contain the true body of christ, unless you are looking at this through Catholic eyes).Fallhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558598370555827002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-72678576755404343972010-07-25T11:41:52.538-05:002010-07-25T11:41:52.538-05:00Please pray that Divine Mercy will end the murder ...Please pray that Divine Mercy will end the murder of babies by abortion in America and around the world.ErnestOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077415409728022160noreply@blogger.com
