At the tender age of 16, I had a teacher who said nobody has had an original thought. One student challenged him with what he thought was his original thought. The teacher told him to go research it in the school library, and he did. A few days later, he came back with his head down in humbleness and admitted the ancient Greeks thought of it 2,500 years ago. The trouble with your generation is that it thinks it has had all kinds of original thoughts and that if an idea is old, it must be wrong. If you think that making sodomy respectable is something new, I suggest you research out the history of the idea.
“The time is sure to come when people will not accept sound teaching, but their ears will be itching for anything new, and they will collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own tastes; and then they will shut their ears to the truth and will turn to myths.” – 2 Timothy, 4:3-4

I have in my lock box a document issued in 1998 that says “Marriage License” at the top. Should I send it back and ask for a Civil Union license? By your argument, this document must be in error.

Oh! Thanks for letting me know. I was confused and thought it was a petition in support of the gay couple.

Is this poster a fraud? His profile says he is Catholic.Here, regarding the issue of “womenpriests,” our friend peduzzi says:
There’s someone who understands what Sacred Tradition is in the Catholic worldview (vs. informal “tradition”), and someone who understands what natural law is and is not. Yep.

I emailed him-that works real quick
This is a stupid argument. Just do me a favor and read my original sentence out loud with you are instead of your and you’ll hear that it’s incorrect. It’s really sad that you still refuse to believe someone who has dedicated his life to being am expert on this subject. Find

Just because the church says a behavior is negative doesn’t mean it has economic costs.

Ok, I made my profile a long time ago and forgot that it even said that. Jeez, don’t accuse me of lying and being a fraud. Let me figure out how to change it.

The church has a lot of aggregated wisdom on this. Negative behaviors have more than economic costs.

It still says “Catholic,” and you’ve logged in and posted since this post above. People do have a right to know your current faith or lack of it because it affects what their replies will be to you. It gives them background with which to respond to you.
To change yoru religious affiliation, you:
log in
Go to Profile menu among the choices at the top of the page
Select “Your Profile” under that Profile tab
Select the “About Me” tab on your Profile page
Click the pencil icon, next to “Religion,” that allows you to Edit your religion.
You’re 23.
I seriously doubt this is difficult for you. Twentysomethings live, eat, and breathe computer applications and tools. It’s second nature to you.

So are you saying that you are not Catholic but put that erroneously in your post or that you ARE Catholic but wish to be identified otherwise on the internet?

Corki, he said that his religious affiliation as Catholic was part of a profile he created long ago; When challenged, he agreed (he said in another post) that he no longer actually identifies with Catholicism. Then he claimed that somehow he needs time to “figure out how to change it [the religious affiliation on his profile].” I just demonstrated how easy it is, and I didn’t grow up speaking cyberlanguage as he did. And since the time he claimed he needs time to figure out how to edit a profile, he has posted elsewhere several times.

Thanks for catching me up. So, he’s a Catholic that wants to have another religion designated in his profile so he doesn’t appear to be hypocritical when posting against the Church. Gotcha!Corki, he said that his religious affiliation as Catholic was part of a profile he created long ago; When challenged, he agreed (he said in another post) that he no longer actually identifies with Catholicism. Then he claimed that somehow he needs time to “figure out how to change it [the religious affiliation on his profile].” I just demonstrated how easy it is, and I didn’t grow up speaking cyberlanguage as he did.

It seems like the petition to support Archbishop Lucas has been removed (the other one is still there).

When someone questioned your % above–your reply was to ask for a rebuttal. However, I think you should first cite a source for your %. It would appear to simply be a number you drew out of a hat–in which case there is really nothing to rebutt.

In post #96, the creator of the petition said that she removed the petition due to SignOn site’s connection to MoveOn.org. However, she said she first printed out all of the names and mailed them to the archbishop.
If you want to show support, it is still possible to send an email, letter or make a phone call to the Archdiocese of Omaha.

Well, if by that you mean that the data is not sufficient, I agree. The political climate makes it almost impossible right now to ascertain the effect of the collapse of the tradition family. We are just now understanding the consequences of sudden change in the divorce laws in the early ‘70s. In the black community, the monogamous family is rare. Bastardy is rampant, and almost certainly it is the lack of fathers which has contributed to the number of young black men in jail. Even in white middle class society the number of stable families is falling, and many do not bother to marry, because co-habitation without marriage has become generally accepted. Charles Murray’s coming apart shows one consequence is the disappearance of the middle class, because children are raised without the “values” needed to succeed in society. Asceticism is scorned, although deferred gratification is necessary to economic success.

Civil unions guarantee gay and lesbian couples inheritance rights, insurance coverage, etc. There is nothing we can do to effectuate changes in government legislation, per se. But marriage must be defended as an institution when it comes to organized religion, particularly our Church.
