The Latin Mass/First Masses?

[USMC]

Dear USMC,
I felt convicted that the Lord does not want me to get into this exchange of thoughts over someone who has died and who had his own opinion of things (Davies).

The point is, Davies simply taught what the Church teaches. Nothing more, nothing less. Either stop slandering him, or show everyone where he has taught “his own opinion of things”.

Don’t slander him and then hid behind a pretended sanctity. Either stop slandering him, or show where he strayed from the teaching of the Church.

Dear USMC,

I have just been in the presence of Fr. Corapi on EWTN who gave such a powerful teaching, that I am still feeling its influence spiritually.

In a nutshell, he said that **Faith is **imparted, not taught. To impart Christ, we must first be filled with Christ, for our words then become “spirit and life” to our listeners. I have to agree with him that intellectually attempting to convert others with sound logic and theology is empty of life-giving impartation.

Why don’t you read the Letter written by Pope John Paul II in the introduction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
I think you have probably misunderstood Father Corapi who I am a great admirer of.

Extract from the Pope’s Letter:

QUOTE
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved 25 June last and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church’s faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church’s Magisterium. **I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith **and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion. May it serve the renewal to which the Holy Spirit ceaselessly calls the Church of God, the Body of Christ, on her pilgrimage to the undiminished light of the Kingdom!
