HINDUS HAVE applauded Pope Benedict for including verse from ancient Hindu scripture Upanishads in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers led by him at Roman Colosseum.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was a remarkable gesture from Pope and invited him to study more ancient Hindu scriptures, which were very rich in philosophical thought. He or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide the help and resources in this regard, if asked, Zed added.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, also commended His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for inclusion of a verse from Indias Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagores Gitanjali and reference to peace icon Mahatma Gandhi in these prayers.
This years 'Way of the Cross at the Colesseum' Meditations and Prayers on Good Friday, led by Pope, included well-known verse from Brahadaranyakopanishad (Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from death to immortality), line from Tagores Gitanjali (Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service) and reference to Mahatma Gandhi.
Rajan Zed stressed that all religions should work together for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring us mutual enrichment, he added.
Pope Benedict heads the Roman Catholic Church, which is the largest of the Christian denominations. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.
Of course, the Vatican Alice In Wonderland School Of aheology, Reality Mangling, Chronic Professional Blaming, Wailing and Whining Cult's psychophants worshiping the Fatima ET personage will not be likely to learn much from such excellent Biblical points--even when cited by their own social and organizational stars. None are so blind as those who WILL NOT see.
And, if the offical pronouncements coming out of the Vatican Cult's observatory offices are any clue, the Vatican Cult is getting all set to give the fallen angel critters a LOT MORE respect and approval.
May God have mercy on souls who REALLY WANT to KNOW HIS TRUTHS.
That’s a great ‘Timeline’ link you posted. And the conclusion sums it up truthfully.
Clearly the Vatcian Cult's farcical notions have taken a nose dive to new lower depths of hell's deceptions with such an assertion.
I wonder why they just don't characteristically brazenly toss even their rubberized pseudo-'Bible's aside and claim that all truth now is based on White Hankys delivered from the Fatima ET personage by motherships.
Whatever suits your biases and sensibilities.
God is the only one you need be accountable to, imho.
Nexium would work for that.
It boggles my mind how anyone can read that timeline and not run screaming from the Vatican Alice In Wonderland School Of Theology, Reality Mangling, Chronic Professional Blaming, Wailing and Whining Cult.

That's what God tells us in the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Obviously, according to the Bible, there ARE those whose calling it is to teachand whose calling will also demand a stricter accounting.
Yup. And teachers can help speed the growth process up. But the best teachers in the world aren't going to make any difference without the enlightening of he Holy Spirit because spiritual things are foolishness to the natural man, the man without the Spirit.
It still begs the question that “we don’t need men to teach us.”
It is clear that men—in reaching out to others with the Gospel—can and do teach.
Even so, James gave his warning to “those (among the brethren) that do so.”
HaHa, good one.
ALL flavors of RELIGIONS have a fierce tendency to do that . . .
yet when they get fossilized and endure over a long period of time . . . it gets really horrific.
It all evens out in the end.
I think we're about to leave.
That would sure be my preference.
I want the FIRST elevator
!UP!
I never said that, please don't put into my text what I did not say. I personally use commentaries and study aids all the time.
What I said was:
If any teaching CONTRADICTS Scripture it is TO BE REJECTED as Scripture is the FINAL AUTHORITY on truth from error. I can't make it any clearer than that. To get back to the point of this thread:
When HINDUISM is MINGLED with the GOSPEL - IT IS heresy and should be not only a red flag, but a warning siren should be going off in every catholic's brain that their magisterium IS IN ERROR!
And if they are in error on that one, how many more things are they in error on? That freeper catholic's jump all over themselves to DEFEND this reprehensible doctrine "all paths lead to God" blasphemy; (along with catechism #841 which is nothing less than unity with Islam along with Hinduism apparently now as well) the Magisterium is currently pushing - tells me all I need to know about the Roman Catholic Church. (Hint: And its not positive!!!!!!!)
I think so, too.
I call it 'the frog in the pot' syndrome.
The corruption and heresies didn't all come at once. They started little by little, small increments at a time over centuries. Just like a frog. You put him in hot water and he jumps out. But you put him in cold water, then gradually turn up the heat, he's oblivious to it and slowly boils to death.
Ditto with the RCC. Had the Assumption of Mary doctrine, or this new movement of unity with Islam and now Hinduism been introduced all at once centuries ago, the Pope would have been burned as a heretic. But.....introduce heresy a little bit here, a little bit there, give it some time, let the people get adjusted to it, then a little bit more, and then more.....then you're in the year 2011 and catholics are now defending hinduism being incorporated into a Mass! Frogs in the pot.
Very good analogy.
