HOMILY OF HOLY FATHER FRANCIS - "Arena" sports camp, Salina Quarter

The Vatican ^ | 7-8-2013 | The Pope

What is this? It is now acceptable to change the titles of posted threads? Or is it only acceptable to do it when it gives you a chance to slam the Catholic Church?

The actual title of the article is: Celebration of Holy Mass at the "Arena" sports camp (8 July 2013)

RM: Can you please change the thread title to the above, actual title of the article?

The thread is about a statement within the article, and so is not a thread about “Celebration of Holy Mass at the “Arena” Sports camp.” That would be quite misleading for what the OP intended.

I really couldn't care less.

The OP published an article on the site. You don't change article titles. (if he wants to add a comment, he could easily add [wished muzzies 'Happy Ramadan'] afterwards)

Posting guidelines:

Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.

(Where it's appropriate is if a title exists. Where it's not appropriate is where a title doesn't exist)

It wasn't a news article.

It was a post with a completely non-descriptive "HOMILY OF HOLY FATHER FRANCIS"

It didn't really have a title

It would be like me posting a thread from a blog with the title "The blog of Joe XXXX"

I had to create my own title to draw interest into the discussion.

It had a title. I wrote the title above. Here is a screenshot of the title:

Or this:

You, for the apparent purpose of inciting verbal violence, highlighted one lousy sentence out of the entire thing. One sentence that had nothing to do with the context of the message that was given. One sentence that was obviously, when considered in context, was simply a polite greeting given to people who were there.

Shoot, if you didn't think it had a title, it would have made an editorial title talking about what the purpose of the message was. Pope believes in coddling illegal aliens, or Pope criticizes culture of indifference, or whatever.

Why take one sentence out of context? There can only be one reason.

Again, as I said above, Welcome to Free Republic.

Learn the rules. The rules are your friends.

I tried Top Ramadan once....Wayyyy too salty and the noodles kept fighting to come back up...whew! I recommend the ketchup and crackers route, costs a bit more but the quality is there.

As you posted the title was "Homily of Holy Father Francis"

That is meaningless, as he must have given 1000s of Homilies over his career.

The "Arena" sports camp is a location, and is not part of any title.

"Celebration of Holy Mass at the 'Arena'" refers to a video, and not the text homily

The only time you can make a change is when it is one of the British news sites which is big on long titles you have to shorten the titles. But, you must post in the first posting the full title.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

No Muslim has ever gone to heaven and ever will, as salvation is through Jesus Christ alone.

How does the second clause relate to the first?

If a Mohammedan has never been exposed to Jesus, either through evangelization or reading, yet lives a good life, and pursues truth, to the best of his ability, would a just God condemn him to hell for eternity?

Yes, anyone who is saved is saved through Christ's redemptive death on the Cross, but it doesn't logically follow that only those with an explicit faith in Christ will be saved.

[Biggirl]

See that is the problem with some of the posters who are Christian. They forget that there are Chrsitians who live in countries in which the Christian faith is under attack. Pope Francis knows this. Plus Pope is reminding us Christians we must not only witness with words, but with our whole lives.

[iontheball]

There are millions of Christians in Muslim lands. If he said it the way you would maybe like him to say it Thousands to Millions would be slaughtered.

Especially the Daily Mail.

But even then, you are supposed to just truncate the title, not change it out of hand.

[markomalley]

Thanks

[Biggirl]

That is wrong if you do make changes to the original title. When I post such long title articles from the Daily Mail, then I have to refer to it.

I don’t post a lot. But I’ve been a lurker since ‘97 when I was 18 and have followed the Religion forum for years.

I missed your entrance in 2011 - welcome on board!

[piusv]

Oh for the love of God, who cares what someone’s screen name is?

As for the Pope’s comments, I refuse to rationalize or defend them.

[piusv]

But the Pope did not say “I hope”; he said “I trust that it will”. Two very different things.

[piusv]

I just have to say there are some funny posts in this thread....LOL.
