Peace friend. Peace. Your argument is not with me.
Me and mine will let you be Catholic and follow your church precepts until Hell falls.
Obama will not. He makes war on you.
Practicing Catholics like conservative churches are the new Jews for the next Holocaust if you haven’t figured it out. Catholics just happen to be the biggest nail that needs hammered. First marginalize you....done. Then mock you....done. Generate hatred against you....done. Isolate you from your natural support....done, which by the way you are doing a great job of by pissing my kind off. And then comes the train rides to the east for resettlement while classic musics plays in the background.
Dolan is not alone in his call to surrender arms. The US Council of Bishops has long been on record as favoring guns for police and military only. Other Catholic bodies and personages saying the same thing include Tommaso Di Ruzza at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
Gun control: Church firmly, quietly opposes firearms for civilians http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1100159.htm
“However, (while) armed defense is something appropriate for nations, not for all individual citizens in a state where rule of law is effective” said Di Ruzza.
Hmmmmm. Like my fathers, I and my my little Bible church will continue, using one of your terms, “with a show of hands” in conformance with God’s will, to be dissenters still from the will of our “betters” who have their private line to God.
Rome it seems is eager to grovel before yet another new Caesar. Have your BILLION Catholic brethern in their brimming pews and absent the burden of a Baptist Swaggart’s sin.....a send a message to your leadership.
FREEDOM!
But that isn’t the way the Catholic Church works is it? Rules come down with the claimed force of God. Gee, makes it kind of hard to argue policy doesn’t it?
Catholics will have to make an INDIVIDUAL choice in this or surrender their arms when the new Caesar’s call comes.
Sounds like dissent to me. Sounds like being Christian.
The Catholic Church has been putting up with heretics and forces of evil that want to destroy the Church for the last 2,000 years. Jesus predicted every bit of this. He said if they hate me they will hate you. The Catholic Church started the pro-life movement in this country when abortion was ruled legal. 99% of protestant churches went along with the ruling. Protestant churches allow homosexuals and women to become “pastors”. Still many protestant faiths could care less about protecting unborn children. The Catholic Church does not base it’s doctrine on a show of hands like the majority of protestant faiths, it bases it’s doctrine on the never-changing Holy Bible. For the first 1,600 years the only Christians were Catholic. That is the way God intended his Church to be. Catholic. The Catholic Church is the truth whether you want to acknowledge it or not. It is the only faith started by Jesus himself. All other started by a mortal man. End of story.
