I think that was a nice jab. I can tell that you like throwing barbs my way.

Whenever you feel like building yourself up, please feel free to personally criticize me on these boards.

I’m a big boy, I don’t offend easily and if it makes you feel better about yourself…by all means, be my guest.
 
What I find most disconcerting in here are the fallen-away Catholics who come into these forums and actually gloat and are actually proud of leaving the Church, and pushing this act in our faces time and time again. I think these are posters who should be ignored because they are just in here, not to share the Faith, but to dis ours. How sad.

Then please Peary, show everyone the way and take the lead, I encourage you to be the very first person to officially ignore me!

If you choose to continue to pay me attention…

My offer still stands, on days when you want to build yourself up at someone else’s expense, you can pick yourself up by using me as your punching bag.

I have very high self esteem and I assure you that any comments you make, will be as if water of my back.

Have a good one.
 
You even believe that Catholic Priests or Nuns who have left Catholicism are ignorant of the faith? Hmmm.

Ok, sure, yeah, that’s a reasonable view that you have, there can be no other explanation why someone wouldn’t agree with Catholicism and leave the faith. :rolleyes:

Methinks the poster doth protest too much.

Peary, you couldn’t resist, I knew you couldn’t ignore me. 🙂

Good one, increase the font next time, it would have a stronger, more in your face kind of impact.

Cheers Peary.

“There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church.” – Bishop Fulton Sheen

People who leave the Church hate what they think the Church is, or they hate how the Church has been presented to them, or they hate the fallible human sinners of the Church who have hurt them somehow (or all three).

One cannot truly know and yet hate the Catholic Church unless one also truly knows yet hates Jesus Christ.
 
No he is probablt tired of the attacks some Catholic posters can get away with here.
No, I think that he’s going to great lengths to convince people that he doesn’t care. That usually indicates that one cares a great deal.

thecoach, I’m sorry you perceive favoritism. I’ve been a member of CAF for a few years now (and reading threads since before I was a member – indeed, before I was Catholic), and I haven’t noticed any favoritism toward Catholics.

Do you have examples of this favoritism that you can document for us?

Sure…I reported a Catholic poster for harrassing me by name with personal attacks on numerous threads, and I get banned for four days while he went unscathed. Another poster who was non-catholic also got banned from the same thread. It is apparent that Catholics, and I can name names but I wont, can get away with all kinds of nonsense attacking non-catholics.

In my tenure here, I have seen Catholic posters suspended and/or banned. However, statistically it seems that non-Catholic posters are the ones who make the most trouble. (This observation is just based on my personal experience.) Many come here to troll the boards.

How do you know that the other posters weren’t given a suspension or given a verbal warning from the moderators? If it was the poster’s first offense, likely they would not have received a suspension, just a verbal warning.

Have you asked the moderators about this alleged bias?

However, thecoach, you are certainly free to leave if you feel you are being treated so unjustly. :confused:

I know of one monk, and the nun he lusted for and married … they were ignorant to a great degree… and foolish… and prideful… and heretical too.:rolleyes:

Is it really a sin if a monk and nun decide that they love one another and choose to be honorable and get married rather than break their vows of chastity?
 
I grew up in the 1950s and our parish had a bible study.
Peary, I wish I had belonged to your parish. I grew up in the fifties too and if there was mention of the Bible, or Bible studies, then I wasn’t present when it was mentioned. The only exposure to the Bible I had was “Bible History” in Grade School. I loved the stories of the Old Testament. Nothing was discussed, 'that I remember" about the New Testament.

Yes it is a sin. They both took sacred vows to God… They took Holy Orders or Vows… I should think that breaking their vows of chastity would be the least of their concerns…
 
**CATHOLICS DIFFER, SO DO PROTESTANTS
**
Code:
 My experience is that it's hard to generalize. There are Catholics, including many who post here, who obviously have a deep attachment to the Church. Fine. But sometimes they indicate an attitude of condescension toward Protestants, as though Protestants were something 'less Christian' because of differences.

  Among Protestants you will find some who still harbor a striong prejudice against Catholicism. They regard it as a pagan cult teaching superstitions from earlier times. Fundamentalist Protestants are most likely to have such a bias.

   Good news. The recent Pew poll indicated that only 16% of American Catholics and only 12% of mainline Protestants (Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, etc) subscribe to the notion that they have the only true religion. Not as encouraging: something like 45% of evangelical Protestants and about the same percentage of Black Protestants believe they possess the full truth essential to getting into heaven. 

   What surprised me is that so few Catholics seem to accept the idea that they belong to the only one, true apostolic Church. Unfortunately, some Catholic media (e. g., EWTN) seem to promote a Catholic triumphalism that gives non-Catholics the impressive that Catholicism is intolerant. I've heard that telecasts like "Journey Home" grate on Protestants who would like a warm ecumenical relationship among Christians. If one group says they have the only authentic Christianity, the only valid communion, the only true Church, etc - as Benedict XI stated last summer - warm ecumenism is difficult to achieve.

There is no evidence that either asked for, or received approval to be released from their vows.

So yes, breaking their vows was a sin.

Honorable is a strange word to use in the same sentence with Martin Luther.

Hi MrS. Was there proof one way, or another that they DID or DIDN’T ask to be released from their vows? If not, we can’t judge either way, can we?😉
