"...Why have I wanted to make this little introdu Christ, you see, built his Church not on a man but on Peter's confession. What is Peter's confession? 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' There's the rock for you, there's the foundation, there's where the Church has been built, which the gates of the underworld cannot conquer." -- Sermons, Volume III/6, Sermon 229P.1, p. 327.
Amen. Great quote.
My post 577 was to you but as is usual for me I was actually just talking to myself:-)
Foot washings from a priest???!!!
Not in any parish I’ve known.
Where do I go for one? Do they work on callouses, too?
On a more serious note. My catholic mother would prefer me to be a carousing, fallen catholic like my brother than a faithful Christian. Go figure!
I don’t think they will answer.
Where in Scripture does it show that "Mary gave you the rosary?"
Maybe I should have made it private but I didn’t. You seem pretty bitter about your mother.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
FALSE INVOCATION OF YOPIOS -- DOUBLE PENALTY, 20 YARDS, AND 10 MINUTES IN THE SIN BIN
The problem is not so much with every streetcorner preacher and denomination interpreting Scripture, as that Scripture itself was interpreted in order to determine its canonicity.
THAT is the $64,000 question that everyone seems to be studiously avoiding.
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen.
I believe it's contained in the book of Wisdom, just after the verse where the angel gifted Peter with the first Bingo card; and just before the chapter that gives the correct designs for the mitre and crook.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary. Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I never quite got over that incident with the spatula and the holy water...
Your love fills the thread!
It's so much easier to ignore a strong argument than it is to consider and respond to it.
Dynamite post, by the way. < hat tip >
The Spirt inspired the writers and then inspired the men that worked on the Canon( which BTW was not closed until Trent in response to Luther )
And yea mom you did invoke YOPIOS by using it as an adjective :)

Is the “sin bin” the same as purgatory? Should I bring steaks and my grill? If I gotta burn to pay, I’m at least gonna eat well!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
