In every Catholic Church this Sunday, this scripture text was read:

"The wicked say:
Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings,
reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with violations of our training.
Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him.
For if the just one be the Son of God, God will defend him and deliver him from the hands of his foes.
With revilement and torture let us put the just one to the test that we may have proof
of his gentleness and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death; for according to his own words,
God will take care of him".
Wisdom 2:12, 17-20

COINCIDENCE?

What is coming to a shameful death is the Catholic church of its own making.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Coincidence of many things. If they refer it to themselves and what any number of their priest have done they should have made that clear. Absent any ownership of the situation involving the Catholic Church it’s left to interpretation..,,

Pacification of the situation does not change the action committed...

You point out Kavanagh as if this is meant for him,ironically, I take it to mean what any number of priest have committed against the souls of children...

SweetLou

Sure about that interpretation?

No! From the beginning Satan has always attacked Christianity through the church and through her clergy. How else would you explain 35,000+ different Protesant denominatios all using the same Bible all having a different message? God is a God of perfect order not a God of contradictory, confusing and disorder.

padremike tell us how Satan is destroying your church or are men like you destroying the church?

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

Poor Bob! Son, I don't normally program too much of my busy day entertaining an agitating ankle biter such as yourself, yet I'll take a moment - only because you really do need help; sincere and genuine help.

Satan has always been trying to destroy the Christian Church because he, evidently like yourself, is in direct opposition to The Holy Trinity. Satan is only concerned with destroying Christianity because when Christ defeated death and promised "Zoe Christos" for those who believe in Him, Satan was permanently defeated except for those he can foolishly convince to deny Christ. Satan has two thousand years experience, successful methods, compromising and sinful clergy as well as the "dominate or destroy" laity within the Church to assist him and, lest we forget, sin often has a huge and exciting appeal. Satan, perhaps like yourself, is frustrated because he knows Jesus promised that the Church, The Body of Christ, will never fail. She has been viciously attacked in the past, here and now in the present, and will be in the future - but she will never fail! There will always be those who keep the Faith!

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

OK padremike, this Satan who was defeated still has everlasting "life"? as some kind of "spirit"?

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

Yes, everlasting life just like you. You are immortal, like it or not. Where are you going to choose to spend eternity and with whom?

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

Heaven or Hell, that it? And that's for the sprit or soul?

Does the sprit feel pain?

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

A Spirit is simple and does not occupy space or experience emotion. We anthropomorphize spirit for our limited understanding.

Yes, Heaven or hell - only two choices. The entire meaning and purpose of life is to attain heaven. Simply stated yet profoundly complex. How are you doing?

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

Fine, what is behind door A and H?

You've run out of credits. Recharge your card!

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

You've run out of answers.

Stupid questions, open hostility for Christians, my own limited patience towards Marxist/Progressive style anti-American antagonists, childish antics, etc, etc, etc, means we do not suffer fools gladly. Either go outside and roll in the dirt or go sit in the back of the truck until we're ready to go.
