I hope you note the irony in this, tpg. You seem to be reserving the right for yourself to do what you are objecting to in others.

Give me a break.

You’re the one derailing the thread.

Since you know all the board rules, you should know a derail is against them. Report it, block it, or take it private.

It isn’t rocket science.

BTW, you’re the one making pronouncements and judgements. I’m offering solutions.

It’s a “public” offense that is being made. Therefore it is appropriate that a “public” admonition be given.

If someone called Fr. Martin Luther “Marty” you can be assured that I would be posting a response that this poster retract that term.

It’s the right thing to do.

It’s also the charitable thing to refrain from using terms that a particular group finds offensive. For example, while I don’t find the term “Protestant” to be offensive in any way, and I use it often here on the CAFs, if a poster tells me he doesn’t like to be called a Protestant, you can be assured that I will never use that term in dialogue with him. I defer to his wishes and use the tern “non-Catholic Christian.”

It maintains charitable discourse.

Someone can only offend you if you let them.

Some people go around looking to be offended.

I stand by my solutions offered earlier.

Again, I note the irony.
 
Today’s gospel reading ties in with our subject:

Mark
Chapter 12
18
1 Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and put this question to him,
19
saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If someone’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother.’
20
Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants.
21
So the second married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise.
22
And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
23
At the resurrection (when they arise) whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.”
24
Jesus said to them, “Are you not misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
25
When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven.
26
As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, (the) God of Isaac, and (the) God of Jacob’?
27
He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly misled.”

Amen!!
 
Amen!!

I chuckled when I heard this on Catholic radio this afternoon. I thought to myself “Hurry home and post on the polygamy thread!” 😃
 
I believe in what the Bible says. A Man and a Woman shall become one, not A Man and Women. But hey, Jesus failed the first time right?

What does that even mean, as it applies to this discussion?
Click to expand...
Which discussion? The OP or the high jacked one?

You were choosing teams. I chose mine. You want to force me to show what u consider respect to a guy whose teachings inspired Mormons to kidnap my children. I choose to use a given and common name.

So, I chose my team. Now, back to the OP

Awesome
 
And for this “dont use joes name wrong”, who cares, he is dead. Now I could see using Gods name wrong or Jesus, but a man, forget about it (Italian accent).

Because a member of his church cares about how his name is used, it’s charitable to refrain from using it in a dismissive way.

Texan - could I ask that you not refer to my prophet as “Joe”? It’s sort of insulting and dismissive. His name was Joseph.

I wouldn’t take kindly to an atheist coming here and calling Mother Teresa “MT”, as in “Dear old MT didn’t even let her hospitals use pain medication!”. I would ask for a retraction. Even if she is dead.

(NB: No one is equating Mother Teresa with Joseph Smith, except analogically so please do not go to, “How dare you equate Mother Teresa with a heretic!”)

And if someone did and it bothered me, then I would stop reading that persons posts. But if Mother Theresa’s teachings had led to someone’s kids almost getting kidnapped, I would cut some slack and be understanding instead of combative and judgmental.

But that’s just me
