“Post her number here and I’ll think about it. Also, do not PM me with it. Just post it in the thread for everyone to see. Also, what reason do I have to believe she will be honest?”
There is NO WAY I would post that number here.
Sorry.
You’ll have to take my word for it that my Catholic credentials are bona fide.
You are really intent on picking a fight. Why?

No. I think so much fighting is caused by poor formation. Misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions are merely symptoms of that.
That claim is often made. Yet when examined the groups that were persecuted by the Church are heretical gnostic sects such as the Cathars which orthodox Protestants would also agree are not Christian. If those sects had arisen after the Reformation there is very little doubt in my mind that Protestant leaders would also have persecuted them.
But no there were no groups of independent Cristians in the Western church prior to the Reformation.

So, you failed kindergarten? I did ask which grade you failed.
“Ikos 1
An archangel was sent from Heaven to say to the Theotokos: Rejoice! (Thrice) And beholding Thee, O Lord, taking bodily form, he was amazed and with his bodiless voice he stood crying to Her such things as these:
Rejoice, Thou through whom joy will shine forth:
Rejoice, Thou through whom the curse will cease!
Rejoice, recall of fallen Adam:
Rejoice, redemption of the tears of Eve!
Rejoice, height inaccessible to human thoughts:
Rejoice, depth undiscernible even for the eyes of angels!
Rejoice, for Thou art the throne of the King:
Rejoice, for Thou bearest Him Who beareth all!
Rejoice, star that causest the Sun to appear:
Rejoice, womb of the Divine Incarnation!
Rejoice, Thou through whom creation is renewed:
Rejoice, Thou through whom we worship the Creator!
Rejoice, Thou Bride Unwedded!
Kontakion 2
Seeing herself to be chaste, the holy one said boldly to Gabriel: The marvel of thy speech is difficult for my soul to accept. How canst thou speak of a birth from a seedless conception? And She cried: Alleluia!”
It continues on in the same vein long enough to make a regular Lenten devotion . It is called Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos. As its name demonstrates, it is chanted standing.
Not according to Broadbent.
Don’t disagree, lastchance. Misunderstanding and sterotyping has caused much grief. Especially looking back with the eyes of a 21st century mentality.

Right. That’s why you made the offer you did?
“Sorry.”
Don’t be sorry. I bet we all knew the truth of things anyway.
“You’ll have to take my word for it that my Catholic credentials are bona fide.”
No, I will not have to take your word for it. I have no reason to believe you in the least.

No flunked grades.

When you post little more than photos that tells us all you arr probably desperate.
“Right. That’s why you made the offer you did?”
No.
It was a figure of speech.
There is NO WAY I’m going to put out a phone number for every psycho in the world to see.
It is also hated by Catholic dissidents. It seems to be forgotten that the vocation of marriage will not be for everyone. I do not know of any orthodox Protestant sect that teaches sex outside the bonds of matrimony is sanctioned by God. So single people are called to chastity and celibacy. Yet so many show they believe the choice of celibacy is a bad thing and that the only right vocation is marriage.
Does this mean that one should be married no matter what? That remaining single and celibate is somehow a failing for a Christian? Is celibacy such an impossible task that it is better to marry poorly and be able to have sex within an allowed relationship than to risk the temptation of fornication?
If that is the primary purpose of marriage. Why not allow gay marriage? If it is simply as a relationship to properly express our lusts?
I have shown no such intent. I have no such intent. I merely point out what is true.
Obviously not. That is why I wisely terminated the conversation. Twice.
Hey Quix!!!
Good to see you here!!
THere’s someone who just CAN’T believe that I went to Catholic primary school for 9 years and then 4 years Catholic high school!!!
That is beautiful. Thanks for posting it.

Except Kindergarten is not part of “Catholic grade school” historically. That’s why it has its own name unlike every other grade in the standard 8 years.
“No flunked grades.”
Maybe, maybe not.

Another claim - unsubstantiated to say the least.
