Non-Catholics: What do you find admirable about Catholicism?

[water]

Does your Church stand against abortion of living unborn babies likes ours does, Frank?

what a good question!

 

[Frank_J]

You bet. My Church stand on a moral high ground here. We don’t change with the times

 

[Lapell]

One is in Hell there is nothing to that be done for him.

Say, are you God the Father Almighty Himself to tell us that’s where he is? How do you know? Please let God be the Judge, He knows every soul better than you and I do. Aren’t you afraid you might be saying something that God won’t? Aren’t you afraid of falling into the sin of giving a false testimony? You don’t need to be lying to do that, you know. All you need is to stick obstinately to an opinion that might prove to be false.
Moreover, you don’t show forgiveness like the Lord asks us to do. Look up in Matthew 6, right after the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus says: “For if you forgive other people their transgressions, you will be forgiven. But if you do not forgive them their offenses, your Father in Heaven won’t forgive you yours neither!”

On her stance against abortion our Church hasn’t changed either, did you know that?

 

[Lapell]

You’d be surprised at the many teachings the Catholic Church has kept to this day…

Also… do you personally show up in pro-life demonstrations and support financially pro-life organizations? Are you personally committed in some active way?

 

[COLOS]

It’s a horrible shame that there are vile sinners in the Church. The Lord Himself said that there would be wheat and tares, good people and evil people, standing side by side in the Church right up until judgement day.

Let the wheels of justice turn, whether secular or spiritual. I’m personally terrified of condemning these priests or any other men. The standard you use to condemn them is the standard which will be used to condemn you. Unless you are directly involved in any of these situations, let the wheels of justice turn while having compassion for the victims and praying for the predators.

The Catholic Church is beautiful, yet she is not without those morally weak individuals. No church is without such people. God help us all.

God help us to be more angry over our own sins, our own failures, than the sins of others.

 

[Frank_J]

You asked a question if support financially pro-life organizations?

Yes I have and also did work for them so there…

Answer to your question…

 

[Frank_J]

Hey

Look I didn’t move the priest around so that they could grab the kid to sexually assault Altar boys that was Fr Gaggan and Fr Portor. If you have trouble with that don’t blame me blame the ones that appoint the Bishops the 25 years. It was Pope John Paul II who made Cardinal Law the Bishop of Boston. Maybe the Pope made a error here…

Cardinal Law was peddling the priest on young child here in Massachusetts is was not my Church or Jews or the Muslims.

The Catholic Priest that was kill in jail got his justice the old fashion way by the hand of an inmate.

You claim I an Anti-Catholic that is you view and I can’t change your views but I have may few Catholic Religionists for friends and they would not believe you if you told them. What I told you here I have written about in my letter to them.

One Eastern Catholic Arch-deacon said to me today that he felt that Latin Priest should be married. I told that he is right. It would given the Latin Priest an out let being married to women.

That is the fault of the western church and it is only becausse they want to keep the wife from gain ownership of Church land.

Hey the Easten rite has not problems I wonder why??? Mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Memaw]

Hi

I do have the eyes to see goodness in many others.

The question remain the same. The probems sand out as you see them on nation TV with the Priest rapping young Altar boys.
I wouldn’t call that admirable. No more then I would call giving a Cardinal name Law a nice job in the Vatican as being admirable; but yet there he sits. Out of jail and free to run around…

Remember, you will be judged the same way you judge!!!

 

[Memaw]

If I were not hitting gold here no one would have picked up on what I was saying.

When I open my mouth about the sins everyone was trying to protect the RC Church.

Remember I know the sins that have been done in the Catholic. I seen it up close you could say.

And we are seeing you up close, you could say.

 

[Memaw]

I also had the pleaure to have as living next door to me Fr Gaggan and Fr Portor the same Priest that Cardinal Law was peddling on young child here in Massachusetts.

I could tell you more that one of the Priest was kill in jail here in jail.

Oh I’m sure you know all the gossip there is to know and the media has to offer.

 

[Memaw]

For who the dead Priest who got his justices at the end of a rope or the other one who sits and who looks at four walls.

I would say you need to start by praying for yourself and your hateful attitude. Do you have trouble sleeping at night with all that anger? Wouldn’t you rather be at peace with Our Lord and let HIM deal with this situation? Believe me, HE knows whats happened and HE can handle it. The whole Church is not responsible for the sins of some, and we are hurt by that scandle more than YOU"LL EVER KNOW. Our good and holy priests are carrying on nobly, in spite of people like you and the media. We don’t need you being so judgmental at us. So why don’'t you go back to your perfect church and pray for us. That will do more good than anything you can say.

Those men were homosexuals and homosexual men generally don’t marry women unless they are trying to hide the fact that they are homosexual. Its nice to know you have all the answers.
Your wrong, you have one big problem, your in schism.

Very well said.

Frank J,
Even one of the Apostles that Jesus hand picked HIMSELF, became a traitor. And Jesus even knew ahead of time what would happen. He gave him enough rope to hang himself, you might say. NO ONE escapes the justice of GOD. My Mom used to say, “You need to sweep off your own doorstep, before you try to sweep off others.” Oh, isn’t there something in the Bible about the beam and the splinter??? Your beam may be bigger than you think!

 

[water]

You asked a question if support financially pro-life organizations?

Yes I have and also did work for them so there…

Answer to your question…

Now, you are doing the same thing the Catholic church and many faithful of the church are doing. If you have nothing to say about the Church, at least you have realized you are doing what we are doing.

Finally, you have something in common with the Catholic folks.

 

[sambos671]

I figured since there was a thread asking Protestants what they find oddest about Catholicism, I’d start one asking all non-Catholics what they find admirable about the religion.

For me, the thing I find most admirable about Catholicism is the way they stand up in defense of human life, from conception to natural death. In my opinion this is the most important work they do, esp. in our “culture of death” society.

I’m active in the pro-life movement, and I see firsthand how much committed Catholics do to help rescue the unborn, stop the death penalty, help the homeless and the poor, and end other forms of injustice.

L’Chaim Hashem Echad!

 

[Frank_J]

First of all I would like to say who ordain homosexuals?
Was it me maybe the jews made them do it, or maybe the Muslims yes maybe it was them Hmmmmmmmmm???

Homosexual men generally don’t marry women unless they are trying to hide the fact that they are homosexual. Wel ordain married Priest wouldn’t that take care of you problem???

See I don’t have a problem with married priests your Church has the big hang up.

Jesus hand picked HIS Apostles and had one bad apple not an army of them…

Look at your pope as he travel to any country with a large Catholic Population he has to say sorry so many times that he sound like a broken record.

The only reason Cardinal Law was sorry was because it came to light. That is the only reason why.

Why don’t you talk to victims and asked them what thyey think??

I not the victims here, Maybe you sould hear the impact statements of theos you were raped. It may just change you mind.

You have a problem with me, not the other way around.

Go visit the victims of the crimes done to them? Maybe you would see the pain they feel.

If my Church was doing things like this, I would be yelling and screaming for justus for the victims. That is the difference here.

Think about it.

Have a good day.

Hmm, Jesus picked 12 Apostles. Out of those 12, how many abandoned him during his Passion and then later repented? Hmmm?

Look at your pope as he travel to any country with a large Catholic Population he has to say sorry so many times that he sound like a broken record.

How does this have any relevance to what Truth is? How many times have you apologized in your life for the same offense/sin? All this time I thought an apology and a statement that the problem will be addressed was a sign of contrition.

The only reason Cardinal Law was sorry was because it came to light. That is the only reason why.

You’re treading on thin ice with this statement. Can you look into a man’s heart?

Why don’t you talk to victims and asked them what thyey think??

I not the victims here, Maybe you sould hear the impact statements of theos you were raped. It may just change you mind.

Some of them are still members of the Catholic church. While what happened to them is terrible, many obviously understand that the offense of a few does not mean that the many are guilty.

Hi.,

Question
Hmm, Jesus picked 12 Apostles. Out of those 12, how many abandoned him during his Passion and then later repented? Hmmm?

Answer
Out of the 12 Apostles only one turned HIM in to the Jewish Priests. Peter said that he didn’t know the man three times and other ran in fear that all. They were only human. The only these men hurt was GOD themselves.
No one else was hurt by there running away from Jesus Christ. They only hurt themselves.

In my statement I said as you can see here and I quote myself"
The only reason Cardinal Law was sorry was because it came to light. That is the only reason why.

answer:
I not standing on thin ice and I will explain The news came out from the press not the Cardinal office until it was too late concerning the sexual abuse cases. I’m from Massachusetts and so I will see the report on TV day in day out.

The protest our side Cardinal Law office in Boston got to be to much for the Church so he decided to ask to be removed by the your Pope at that time. It became a very big circus for the Roman Catholic for sometime.

Quote
Some of them are still members of the Catholic church. While what happened to them are terrible, many obviously understand that the offense of a few does not mean that the many are guilty.
Answer
True; But!!!

The first thing that should have been done when it first came to light was to call the police and have the Priest or Bishop arrested and not let it get covered up until it was found out. The Roman Catholic Church only hurt itself and it reputation and will need to try to rebuild what it once had. Your Church once seen as a very helpful in helping the poor and the sick has lost all the respect it one held.

Respect is not given, you have to work for it. That takes time and that is what your Church will need to do and it may take a very long time for people ever to trust your Church once again.

I not here to be your little devil, I only here to make a point and that is bring to light that the RC Church has a lot of building to do so don’t waste time try to claim I’m Anti-Catholic. I sleep at night with a clear mind and heart I committed no crime and the police are not looking for me.

My Quote:
Look at your pope as he travel to any country with a large Catholic Population he has to say sorry so many times that he sound like a broken record concerning the sexual abuse cases.

If the mess that the RC Church did the right thing in the beginning it would have not found itself trying to clean it up.

Your Quote:
How does this have any relevance to what Truth is? How many times have you apologized in your life for the same offense/sin? All this time I thought an apology and a statement that the problem will be addressed was a sign of contrition.

The sins that I make are between two GOD and the sinner who is one and only. I hurt no one but myself. My sins don’t break my down and destroy my Church reputation. That is one out of 1.5 million OCA Orthodox Christians that not to bad. In the Orthodox Church there are sinners , but it’s not to the point on making my Church look like a joke.

Have a good day.
