can anybody tell me what a pro-abortion catholic is?

[festeringZit]

Are you a convert?

For some reason Catholic converts seem to believe that "following rules" will make them a better catholic.

Real catholics dont worry about details.

Eek,

Catholics and Protestants, all students of Scripture understand that
the Mosaic dietary rules were only applicable for that short time
in history.

It's kind of funny that you pride yourself in your ignorance of
your own church's teaching?

"Real Catholics don't worry about the details."

 

[eek.]

Real Catholics don't need to judge people on the details bud.

The big guy already does that judgement stuff, for every last one of us.
:toast:

 

[Willie99]

And your point is?

So what. There were Mosaic Dietary Laws (Mosaic = under Moses).

When the Bible says that eating shellfish is an abomination under the Mosaic dietary rules, abomination in that case is rendered from the Hebrew word sheqets which means filthy. Under the Mosaic dietary laws, the Hebrews were to consider shellfish filthy, that is unclean, food.

yea, whatever he said

I know Catholics, my priest is a Catholic, my families are Catholics, my Uncle Bob is a Catholic extremist, we can eat shellfish.

:toast:

Eek,

I wasn't talking at all about judging other people.

I just found your statement about true Catholics not paying attention
to details a bit strange...

Although, you may want to check on the Catholic Church's history
of judging people when they executed 40-50 million people in
the Catholic Inquisitions.

:toast:

Pro abortion is not a position any Catholic can take. One doesn't get to write his own beliefs.

...Nevermind, too easy.

 

[919]

Baby execution isn't exactly a minor teaching in the Catholic church now
is it?

And that is exactly what the church considers it, the execution of
human life.

The church also believed the Earth was the center of the universe.

 

[codeworks]

is it something like a Jew that believes Jesus is the son of God?

If you want to talk about hypocrisy, maybe we should talk about what the adult candidates actually say for themselves, as opposed to a mistake a minor daughter made which is not hypocritical at all.

Better yet lets not use kids in the campaign like Sarah Palin and Biden did.

Can you pick and choose when you want your kids lives public.

Military bragging about their kids. Both sides are guilty.

 

[hippieki11er]

A pro abortion catholic is called...

a catholic

What seems to be your problem with Catholics?

 

[eek.]

What seems to be your problem with Catholics?

No problems at all.
Been one for 50 odd years.
born as one, will die as one.

(and will probably go straight to heaven)

Um, and your point is?

 

[tiznow]

y that's another big problem i have with religion

where you are born usually tends to be what religion you are throughout life or you just reject religion cause you don't believe that particular one......and who's to say which is right and which are wrong.....is a taoist wrong? is a christian wrong? is a muslim wrong? is a buddhist wrong? is a hindu wrong? is an atheist wrong?

i'm one of the few in the middle that doesn't know and has an open mind about all religions

anagnostic is the best solution as well as studying all religions at some point in your life....

i think god would like me for that if there is one

Well, you certainly don't seem happy about that fact unless I'm missing your tone here and in other threads.

 

[eek.]

I think we nearly all get to heaven eventually.

The difference is any non-catholics get stuck in passport control for a few thousand years while they get checked out by Saint Peter.

I'll set the round of beers up while I'm waiting for you evangelicals etc to get through.

That's a nice thought, but even the Roman Catholic church doesn't
teach that.

The Vatican has removed all doubt about what the pope means by unity. In a document released July 10, 2007 the Roman Catholic Institution again claimed that there is no salvation outside the "church."
Pope says, "If it's not Catholic...
it's not really a church."
"Christ established here on earth only one church," the document states. Churches that do not recognize the "primacy of the pope…cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense," and therefore lack the "means of salvation."
Careful study of Vatican pronouncements over the centuries shows this constant theme. During the Reformation, Rome used the inquisition to try to squash the revolt against its control. Anyone who refused to recognize Roman Catholicism as the only true church or bow to the wafer god was executed.

 

[hippieki11er]

You're missing my tone.

Then how come you espouse faulty information about Catholics that isn't in accordance with the Church in a flippant-sounding manner as to infer that Catholics somehow live hypocritical lives in accordance to their teachings?

why is the idea of a heaven any more likely than say reincarnation?

eeksters a rebel he don't like to be controlled by the man ope:

the hard line catholics crack me up thinking they know it all and its the end all.....

i don't have any problem with your religious beliefs persay just the way the catholic church is structured.....

think for yourself and make your own determination of religion and faith...seek true understanding from within via your own studies......don't have somebody else do it for you

 

[eek.]

Because I refuse to judge people.
Only one guy does that.

God.

As long as they allow real ale and smoking in bars then I'm cool.
