I never rejected the sources specified. I just asked what evidence those source provided?
I realize that, that’s why I was trying to link you to it. The issue is that, in a sense, you seem to be asking us to do your homework for you. We’re happy to do a bit and get you started but this is a personal journey you’re going to have to take. It’s a life-long journey, really an eternal one if you’re doing it right.
I recommend picking up that book about the ECFs if you’re trying to start back at the beginning. The Vatican website also has some of these writings, and are working on digitizing more of them.
That is probably true. I just asked the question. I don’t know how it is best answered. “How” was the operative word in my question. I was hoping you would tell me.
It’s hard to answer the “how” for someone else. For me, the history of the Church is clear evidence, as are the Eucharistic miracles. I don’t really need much more than that. I
have a lot more, but I don’t need it. I don’t know what you need, I can’t really know how to help, so I’m doing the best I can by you. My best advice is to ask the Holy Spirit to give you what you need. It might take a while, you’ll have to be persistent, but I guarantee you’ll get your answer.
I think that someone saying “no” does not mean that they are not searching.
Glenn:
I did not come on this forum to be combative. But it seems that some individuals were armed and ready.
It tends to mean that when they give no further explanation, no clarification, or just go back to repeating their initial premise without considering anything that’s been said. I’m not accusing you of that, there have just been a few poster in the history of the forums that fit that label. Eventually people tend to stop responding to them because they never even consider what’s said to them, they just repeat themselves over and over again no matter what. They actually strike me as sadly similar to some of the character’s in C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce," people who, no matter how blindly obvious the answer is, can’t seem to see it.
Again, not accusing you of that, just saying that’s where a few people’s frustration may be coming from. I do hope you don’t leave, we’d love to continue helping you, we just need to work out what form that help need to take.
