I dont support schismatics! The document that I care about is the one you get when you click it.
Not many people have ever read it since its just not PC to talk like that anyway.

I am going to add a disclaimer on the link. Its certainly NOT an endorsement of schism.

I like your signature reference… the site you provide has a lot of great information… however…

a spot or two got missed in the cleaning…

it still links to Garry Matatic’s conversions story and he has professed his total support for that “sede…” word that raises the ire of the moderators.

and it seems to link to too many sources of support for the schism of the SSPX.

it could provide some problems to some inquiring minds.:ehh:

that is what I thought… having read your other posts.

Again, the link gives us all something really great to read… I did download and print it for later reading… thanks

As the Scriptures provided above point out, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with eating meals prepared with non-Christian overtones if it does not cause us or others to stumble or be scandalized. If I, as a Catholic, went to McDonald’s – and especially if I let it be known publically that I am going there – for spiritual reasons specifically because the food is Islamic-friendly, that would be wrong. As it is, however, it’s just food.

As an aside, I suspect that McDonald’s started carrying their Fillet of Fish sandwiches to bring in the Catholic customers on Friday’s. During Lent, at least, they definitely ramp up their ads for them. When I was in school, the cafeterias always served fish sticks on Fridays. What is the difference?

My personal feel is something is not right here. The number 7 is the number of God. The number 6 which is a number that is so near, but yet so far from the next number, is used to depict imperfection. A faith that is seemingly close yet totally opposite to the gospel truth of Jesus. I can see no other faith in the world closer to this identification than Islam. I seriously think this is not nonsense. That’s why Pope Benedict is a little in a dilemma on whether to put his foot forward and thumb down islam, but the consequences will be severe.

Quote: Halal meat is from animals that have been killed facing Mecca and blessed using the name of Allah.

If allah is an idol which many of us believe it is, are we not a partaker at the devil’s table?

The above simply means the food has been offered to an idol Allah at Mecca . And there are many bible verses telling us not to take food already offered to idols. One example is…

Revelation 2:14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality.

As islam continues to expand un-abated, the practice of Halal food will expand, and there will come a time when food without the Halal sign will not be allowed.

Now think of 666, look at this picture or Arabic sign for Allah.

Revelation 13:17
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Revelation 14:9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

Who is the beast?

1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah). Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.

We know Islam publicly and openly denounces Jesus as the Son of God and its followers are taught in the Q’uran to kill Jews and Christians. The Scripture points the finger at Islam as the Anti-Christ.

Think about it: The Bible tells us many believers in Christ will be beheaded for their beliefs (Rev. 20:4). Who are the ONLY people in the entire universe who still behead? The Muslims - and they have already begun to behead the “infidels”!

The Bible also tells us that, unless we take the “mark of the beast” we won’t be able to “buy or sell” (Rev. 13:17). What is this mark? Well, consider this, for instance: The bank of Islam - which is rapidly buying up businesses and merging with other banks - has already made it very clear that they won’t be doing business with anyone who refuses to adhere to Sharia Law (and consequently, the Qu’ran). Those who refuse to convert to Islam won’t be able to “buy or sell” because they will have no jobs; simple as that. With Muslims controlling most, or all of the businesses, the rest of us “infidels” won’t be able to find work or be able to support our families - and so we will either convert, starve to death, or be beheaded…

Extract from Carmen, USA - Islam is NOT a religion of peace, and they ARE out to convert the world by force! Most people don’t seem to care, and/or they insist that we “serve the same god”. They don’t realize that, wherever Islam rules people suffer under totalitarianism, and this time – unless they wise up quickly - they will suffer themselves right into hell….

The time to stand against evil is NOW. The time to stand up for Christ is NOW!

Christmas is different Valke, we’re talking a National holiday and the birth of Christ, hardly compares to Halal burgers.
The Muslims want to take over the world, let alone America, and stupid people like McDonald’s are allowing this. I think it’s dumb. Having a Kosher McDonald’s perhaps belongs in Israel, having Halal burgers, belongs in Muslim countries.
All about the almighty dollar. Hey I tell it like it is and I’m not afraid to say the truth.

Providing food that potential customers in a certain area can eat is not supporting some vast Muslim conspiracy. It appears that a restaurant provided people in a certain area of town food they would actually consume. I guess you would also think it “dumb” that there is a concentration of Indian restaurants and groceries near my home that cater to the high concentration of people from that country who live there because the US is not an Indian country. Or do you want to ask each of them their religion before getting bent about what they are offered to eat? There are Muslims, Hindus and oh yeah lots of Catholics from there all supporting Indian oriented businesses, but they could still be trying to take over the world one meal at a time.

Let’s not confuse truth with opinion. How is a Halel McDonalds different than a Halal restaurant?There are plenty of Halal Restaurants in the US and plenty of Kosher restaurants as well.

 

[Karin]

Well, I am going by what I had on an airplane by mistake. They gave me a Hindu meal instead of a regular meal. Was like beans and bland stuff. It was gross.

If your only experience with HINDU food is what was given to you on an plane…I can understand your disgust (airline food is nto the best)…may I suggest that you actually go to an Indian or Hindu restaurant and try the food…I bet you will notice a difference
Also Hindu and Indian food are different…Hindu meals you will see no BEEF…as the Cow is sacred to them…an INDIAN meal you will see beef etc. except that is Halal

Yes, airplane food is well known for its high culinary standards.

 

[rtconstant]

I don’t really have a problem with it. I do have a question though. If business has doubled for the McDonalds that do this doesn’t that mean that they’ve done a good job letting people know about it? So if they’ve done this good of a job in advertising what are people complaining about?

Is the issue here lack of information or is it more of a general objection to an act that caters to a specific clientel?

 

[b_justb]

Maybe the halal beef is just better than the usual road kill meat they use at Mickie D’s http://www.coolsmilies.net/gestures/sq_glare.gif

lol yeah maybe. Heck if it makes the food edible then they can make it halal, kosher whatever. Hmmm, I’m in the mood for Goldies now…

I think maybe the issue was that non-muslims did not know what Halal was.

 

[meedo]

Meedo,

Thank you for the explanation. It was very informative.
I just wanted to know if mentinoing the name of God occurs before the slaughter of each animal or just at the beginning (first one) if there’s more than one. (Not that it bothers me either way – I don’t have a problem with it…just wondering).

Again, thank you for taking the time to explain the process.

Thank you for your participation and questions,

I truly dont know if in practice the blessing is said on all animals to be slaughtered in one day or a blessing for each.

As for facing Mecca it actually isnt a stipulation nor a condition but it sort of ended us an accepted practice probably.

thanks and God bless

salam

BECAUSE MCDONALDS IS AN AMERICAN ICON, NOT A KOSHER HALAL WHATEVER FOOD ESTABLISHMENT…IT’S AMERICA!!

 

[Verita]

What is America? If you want to make it genuinely American than we should be serving all Native American food. Everyone else here is a usurper or an immigrant.

 

[Steadfast]

Nah, I wouldn’t care one way or the other.

It’s a hallmark of marketing to allow the environment to dictate what you sell; in short, stock what sells or in this case, market what sells.

It makes perfect sense and I applaud McDonalds for the move.

Brilliant, really.

Religion has nothing to do with it. McDonalds is neither a religious nor a state-run institution, it’s a business doing what it does to make money.

OHHHHHHHHHH I’m proud to be a
UUUUUUUUUUUsurper from Maryland.
And I love to pay high taxes,
and wallow in a blue state.
But I don’t eat no Halala meat that I know of
and Australia can keep it. Know what I mean, mate?

What is America … please already.

THere’s Halal Chicken McNuggets in McDonald’s in Detroit, MI. (USA) islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa072901a.htm

Figures it would be Dearborn.

Looks like I will not be eating at McDonalds. Too bad, I like their breakfast.
