For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. (1 Cor 23-30)...or the Gospel of Mark?
And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away." But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, `God made them male and female.' `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder." And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."Re: Baptism... didn't you read what heartwood wrote? Any adult in danger of death can be baptized; but if an adult is an unrepentant adulterer, would you accept them into Baptism? Does your version of Baptism not require faith or repentance? It's an odd type, if so.
“FRiend, are you just *trying* to be a troll? This is obviously a Catholic issue, dealing with internal policies (I use those words specifically for those who don’t acknowledge Divine mandates and obedience to Church Law) of the Catholic Church... so: why would you have a gripe with it at all? I’m not at all sure why you’d complain.”
Open Threads are open to comments. Caucus Threads are closed to everyone outside the caucus designation. This is an open thread, ergo I’m posting a comment. I’m afraid you’ll have to cope.
As to the rest, I understand the Roman position, but it is inaccurate - read false. This is why I pointed it out.
