Something to ponder and discuss with family and friends.
I would have thought "How the Uniforms Look on Adult Babes" would have been SOMEWHERE on the list...
Vatican II NUNS.
Now young Catholic boys want
to come to classes!
bttt
Ping! This piece is even worse than the last one you posted. I suspect that non Latin Rite Christians could have a grand time jumping on this one! NYer, is there some purpose to this triumphalistic revsionism or is it just posted to get the Orthodox here angry?
It proves that Jesus is with the Catholic Church until the end of time.
We've had enough (and more than enough) of protestant-written history (and worse, communist written history), in which the Catholic Church is made the villain in any and every way conceivable.
Calm down, I think you're reading too much into this, really it's not much different than those Orthodox Feast postings you put up....aka, meant for a narrowly defined audience.
There are plenty of other posts put up by non-Orthodox, non-Catholics that are designed for a limited audience or specific segment of Christendom.
Really, there is no vast anti-Orthodox conspiracy going on here...or if there is I've never been invited to join.
"...St. Ignatius Loyola, who showed what miracles of conversion "the Pope’s marines" could achieve when they were all devoted and orthodox (let us hope that they will be again)..."
Amen to that. First order of business must have been the Franciscans at Assisi. Hope that the Jesuits are next on the list.
Me? I've posted these and pinged catholics to these threads which provide them with some historical perspective, sorely lacking in their lives. They are posted to balance the garbage produced by Discovery, TLC, History, PBS and all those other channels that try to skew history to suit present day mindsets.
I have posted numerous threads on the ecumenical efforts of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Why do you take such offense at these two threads?
Never mind that this is a pseudonymous forum.
Our operatives know who you really are.
They know when you've been sleeping.
They know when you're awake.
They know when you've been bad or good.
The formal invitation package will be dropped down your chimney some fine evening when you least expect it.
Because nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

" 'Art is native to Catholicism, since reverence for the body and for nature is native to it.' The Puritan influence is foreign to Catholicism — just as the idea that smashing altars, defacing Madonnas, and breaking stained glass as a religious act is foreign, and indeed heretical, to Catholics. The Catholic Church leaves such Talibanism to the Protestants and iconoclastic heresies. The Catholic Church, instead, offers a celebration of beauty; and beauty, in our world of pierced faces, body tattoos, gangsta rap, and concrete tower blocks, is something we could use much more of."
Tell that to the modernists destroying (renovating) our great old churches. They are completing the work started by Henry VIII.
I'd much rather see an article entitled,
"What’s So Great About Jesus Christ."
To me, articles like this smack of worship-of-the-church rather than worship of God.

Hmmm. Someone's forgetting Jesus in the temple!
"The Catholic Church, instead, offers a celebration of beauty;"
Beauty? How very pagan.

It's not always about you, you know.
