Just took a peek, or rather a puke. It's wittier than hell, indeed, and pathetic at the same time. The poor bleeders seem to think that the less radical end of what was dissent in my days as an RC is Catholicism rather than the new postconciliar "Catholicism".<br /><br />That's their problem, not ours, but it made me glad I am free of the reeking cesspool that is the RCC, pre or post Vatican II.<br /><br />I just roared at this one, which unfortunately is not satire but meant straightforwardly:<br /><br />What this blog isn’t: Apologetic for being Catholic. It’s how I’m gonna get to Heaven. And if you were serious about getting there, you’d be Catholic too.<br /><br />Sorry pal, but that's what apologetic literally is. Regardless, get beneath the softer gentler words these days and that's what you find, the one thing that endures through the many faces of "Catholicism" -- the RCC, first, last, and always.<br /><br />Nobody's getting to heaven by being Catholic. Oh, but Catholic means Jesus, so we're getting to heaven by Jesus -- yeah right; it's a faith in nothing but itself, which since it thinks it IS Jesus, his church etc, therefore it's a faith in Jesus.<br /><br />Which is why we should leave the RCC THE HELL alone and go our way.Terry Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122266461403246084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-61604749545789521682011-11-21T14:49:27.025-06:002011-11-21T14:49:27.025-06:00The scary thing in all this to me is; CTA also sta...The scary thing in all this to me is; CTA also stands for Clarksville Transit Authority....Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-33285544518234291012011-11-21T13:58:34.577-06:002011-11-21T13:58:34.577-06:00SKPeterson, you are right on the money.

The greying heads of Call To Action aren't replenishing their ranks, it seems and they've done such a good job of dissing the church their kids don't bother to go. Seems like their agenda had some unforeseen consequences.<br /><br />They're a bunch of loons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-79959146962918341112011-11-21T10:37:53.608-06:002011-11-21T10:37:53.608-06:00Mystische Dummheit.

Never mind what Luther wrote plainly to and about the Papacy, these nit wits need a vision. <br /><br />"The whole papacy is founded on pure lies and on the denial of the Lord Christ; hence it must be, not the Holy Spirit's but the devil's very oen teaching. It is an utterly and accursed and reprobate thing." (Exposition of John 14:17 W 45, 578)Rev.

Fabian Bruskewitz was the bishop of Lincoln, not Omaha, though he ticked people off far and wide with the Call To Action thing.<br /><br />To imagine Luther encouraging WO is beyond absurd. To imagine that this was leading up to the new translations of the novus ordo is beyond delusional. Change the prayers? The novus ordo changed the prayers, and based on a distinctly RC agenda, not Luther's. As someone who spoke Latin rather well, I'd say he would appreciate that the new translations at least actually translate what's there.<br /><br />Marjoram Fennel need a psychiatrist. If she exists at all. Marjoram and Fennel are herbs, the former classically associated with happiness and the later used by Prometheus to steal the gods' fire. As with all this RC stuff, leave it to the RCs and the RCC.Terry Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122266461403246084noreply@blogger.com
