Pure speculation. The last resort of the truly desperate.
Making up mud to sling at him that only ends up coming back on yourselves.
In the meantime, you’ve got your “Who am I to judge?” pope who is leading your church down that very path.
Not to mention a clergy which is rife with admitted homosexuals, but hey, it’s all good. Nobody is perfect. It doesn’t matter what a priests personal life is like cause he’s just a sinner like the rest of us. And once a priest, always a priest. It doesn’t matter what those hands that are lifting up the host on Sunday morning were doing the night before, as long as his intent is “pure”.
But that obviously doesn’t stop Catholics in their rabid hatred of Luther from inventing things that they think he may have thought or said or done.
“When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from his throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the victim for the sins of men. It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors; it is greater than that of saints and angels, grater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. The priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command.”
So, the priest in catholocosm is far more important than just a mere man.
“Pure speculation. The last resort of the truly desperate.”
I’ve never been desperate. You often seem to be so. This seems to be one of those times.
By the way, this sure seems to be a sign of desperation: “metmom to vladimir998; MHGinTN; Mark17; RnMomof7; CynicalBear; Iscool; caww”
A “church historian” putting that kind of speculation out if true is indicative of the false history of the Catholic Church.
