Nah. NYer and marshmallow do it all the time. No one is bashing them, now, are they? It's because they don't salivate, cackle and gloat. Unlike some others around here.
Yea, and whenever a priest walks through out doorway all us Catholics yell out "Jesus is here!" and immediately bow down and begin to worship him. LOL.
C'mon Eckleburg, you call the Catholic faith "imprecise" only because you cannot find anything in the Catechism or the thousands upon thousands of Catholic writings which were created over the course of centuries saying specifically that priests are Jesus Christ.
Otherwise, let me tell you a bit about my day. Today my boss was not in work, so, to the best of my ability and according to his instruction, I took his place. I dealt with clients, gave advice, made sure his business was taken care of as best I could. His subordinates followed my commands because my boss told them to do so. I made sure that what he left behind to be done was carried out, and I followed his explicit instructions to the best of my ability.
So tell me, are my boss and I the same?
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! Seriously stop it, you're killing me!

lol. You've been given plenty of examples from Roman Catholic doctrine and Roman Catholic priests which teach that the RC priestcraft is an "alter Christus" - "another Christ."
Perhaps what you haven't been given are eyes to see and ears to hear.
The RCC also teaches that only priests can offer the Lord's Supper. Why is that?
Because supposedly only the priest has the magic mojo to turn the bread and wine into Christ. And why is that? Because the priest, in his capacity as an "alter Christus," is offering himself to the congregation.
Sick.
Of course it happens elsewhere.
But here is the difference:
What do you call a Roman Catholic clergyman who abuses children? A priest.
What do you call a Presbyterian clergyman who abuses children? An inmate.
That my FRiend, is the point.
lolol.
Evidently too often too true.
What do you call a Presbyterian clergyman who abuses children? An inmate.
That really is the whole issue. Any church or organization can be infiltrated by perverts. It's what you do after a CRIME has been committed. The RCC deserves nothing but contempt on this. They protected these perverts by moving them around instead of reporting them to the authorities.
Drudge just posted an article about this. Their Pope was notified by memo that a pervert was being returned to his church after starting therapy. It's all well and good that they wanted to help this pervert, but the therapy should have been provided in jail, or prison. The medieval practice of seperate courts and punishments for clergy was wrong then and is wrong today.
That's a good example of a cackle, right there.
Amen !
THX for the ping.
Reasonable points, imho.
Please do not blame the good Dr. E. for the content of her postings. She is not responsible. As a Calvinist Presbyterian, she was destined to post all of this before the foundations of the universe were created. Please do not be harsh.
Perhaps look it at this way, TAL, it is Palm Sunday, one of the holiest days of the year. The lord of this world is especially active during these seasons, as was pointed out some posts ago, just like Democrats are active in like fashion during election years.
A look around a church's website can provide wonderful insight into that church's theology, doctrines and overall philosophy. For instance, the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, an admittedly dying minor league cult, openly encourages people to speculate upon their pets accompanying them to Heaven.
I have wondered if it is all pets of Calvinists that are eligible, or only Calvinist believing pets, but the website of the OPC is not clear and the good Dr. E. has not yet informed me as to official OPC doctrine on this matter. The Westminster Confession of Faith does not address this matter either; neither do any of the other Reformed Confessions that I have read.
Well, technically speaking, Drudge only posts links and graphics. :)

Agreed. Most Catholics agree with this as well. We parents are the most appalled. What is not apparent to non Catholics, and even to most laity, is the work being done inside the Church by the clergy, and by some of the laity. I have been part of some of those efforts.
I have up to now managed to avoid assault and battery charges. Our Eastern brethren sometimes get a little more physical, which in my opinion is sometimes called for...
