I don’t call those who attend Novus Ordo masses phony. The only one I’ve termed phony is Newt.

It’s Vatican II that created the Novus Ordo which to me and millions of others amounted to the creation of a new religion inside the Catholic Church.

I do however amazingly arrogant you you to presume you can see....

I'm not certain as to what you are attempting to say; however, Newt is a phony to me due to many things, but endorsing the cap and trade and the global warming nonsense was quite enough.

I disagree with you completely. Perhaps you have some inside information of which I am not aware, Commander.

**But a born-again Baptist couldn’t...**
Of course they could, all they would need to do is study and find the truth.

The truth is based in years and years of history.

Joining your religion is like joining the Masonic Lodge...Can you point to a place in scripture where anyone, anywhere was told to study the church for a year before they could become a Christian??? Of course you can't...That's ridiculous...

Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

And how do people get saved???

The truth is not based on the emotions of one moment at an altar call.

It most certainly is...

Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And in most cases, it is not at an altar call...It's in one's bedroom, or car, a shower, at a party, or even sometimes at church...It can and does happen anywhere...

And yes, it is super duper emotional...But most of the emotion comes aftarward...

When an altar call takes place, most folks don't walk down an isle...They sit in their seats and ask Jesus to save them, right then and there...It's between the individual and God...And it's very personal...

Jesus nor any of the disciples ever told anyone they had to wait for anything...That's outrageous...

Becoming a Christian is instant and immediate...

Becoming a Christian isn't social entertainment, or an initiation into an organization...

When a person calls on Jesus, it is now...Right Now...

It appears as tho you don't have the foggiest idea what it is to become a child of God...It sure ain't studying your religious history...

LOL! The apostles followed Jesus around for three years. Still laughing.

They learned as they followed.

Who said that Baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is social entertainment?

I would appreciate it if you would stop posting falsehoods about the Catholic Church and the Baptism that in your words brings a perosn to be “born again” and free of sin.

Newtie is a ‘born again’ novus ordo, phony Catholic. New members like these continue to dilute the congregations as they are truly agnostics and believe in nothing.

Newt believed that his former marriages were negated by the very fact that he became a ‘Catholic’ while the very reverse is true. Church believes that joining the church in order to negate prior marriages is a SIN!

Sorry, Newtie, no White Hut and no absolution for a serial marriager.

So, you and Steelfish gonna come clean and tell us who y'all support?

Are you Romney-botts or Paul-inistas?

Come on, man up and quit hiding behind phony excuses.

Oh, btw, I'm a fairly good (none are perfect) practicing Catholic!

For all you "Holier-than-thou" Newt Haters, Rommey-Bots, LEFTIST TROLLS, Paul-inistas, and sundry other HYPOCRITES....

...who are dutifully posting ANY and ALL "Negative" articles/stories, etc. about Newt...this one takes the cake!

Allow me to remind all Christians of John 8:7

"And as they continued to ask him, He stood up and said to them:....

“LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SINE AMONG YOU BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE AT HER....."
