It was sold in 2004. The whole complex. http://www.boston.com/globe/spotlight/abuse/stories5/042104_sale.htm
Way to keep track, bud.
It is that a man or women will meet his proper mate, that’s all. Nothing to do with a man asking a woman to submit. It’s a folk saying, by the way, not Catholic theology, lol.
I’m not sure “nevermind what our good guys are doing look at what your bad guys are doing” is the way to go on this issue. I’m not saying that worldly protestants shouldn’t be taken to task for the opulence of their residences but we need to acknowledge that some of our bishops are living in splendor and there’s no excuse for it.
There are extenuating circumstances in some cases but it’s not news to Catholics that a good deal of our American bishops are hired hands who have been at the helm while the Church has collapsed around them for some time.
“So is the internet.”
Logical fallacy of category mistake.
“They alone have authority that is unchangeable.”
So Christ has no authority? Matthew 28:18-20
“While true some were written thousands of years before, it was the Catholic Church that confirmed what books were legitimate to be part of the Bible and what were not, that included writings at the time of Christ such as the “Gospel” of St. Thomas. Only through the authority of Peter given to ONE Church was this achieved.”
I can appreciate your sincerity in this belief... but
2/3 of the Scriptures were Jewish and available before the Church came along.
The authority of Peter was irrelevant.
The canon of Scripture was examined and authenticated by many groups afterwards, with errors corrected.
“Logical fallacy of category mistake.”
And you’re still wrong.
“There’s not necessarily anything wrong with that—especially if an entity like the Catholic church altered an existing destructive social practice in a culture into something productive and edifying. “
We will part ways on that point :-)
Syncretism is never a substitute for truth.
vlad,
I wish you the best.
“So Christ has no authority? Matthew 28:18-20”
vlad, I wish you the best.
We’re going to Mass with them this evening - the five youngest children and I. (The others are at the coast with their Dad.) The founders of the MOP are here from Jamaica. We have to leave in five minutes to pick up one of my choir members on the way.
“What behavior, living in buildings owned by the Church while doing the job the Church has asked them to do?”
Living the high life while purporting to represent the One who had no place to lay his head.
“Wearing the uniform of their position while performing its duties?”
There are no Christian uniforms/costumes. It is pagan.
“Religious vestments and habits are the opposite of “worldly”: they are intentionally unworldly, that is, not what regular people are wearing.”
Pagan practices like this are worldly.
There’s no useful response to this sort of thing except, “Have a nice day,” so I hope you do.
I also hope you have a great evening.
Thanks for tacitly admitting you were wrong.
vlad,
I admit that I wish you every blessing in the heavenlies.
Legatus: I’m not sure “nevermind what our good guys are doing look at what your bad guys are doing” is the way to go on this issue.
Do we really need another discussion re Osteen and similar "con-men" being "our" guys?
I believe that as mush as I believe you know anything worthwhile about vestments.
Lovely. You’re probably on your way as I write this but have a very nice night.
Whether you accept that I wish you every blessing or not, does not change the fact that I do indeed.
