Livin_the_MASS Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Just curious? I say charity all the way, to our brothers and sisters outside the Chruch and those within! Do you think charity brings unity, I say yes. Will it help bring others to Christ? I say yes. Comments! God Bless Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin_the_MASS Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Whoever voted charity not being important I'll say some Hail Mary's for ya Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Of course charity will bring others to Christ, as a matter of fact it's [i]the only[/i] that will. Does anyone really think calling a gay man the f-word is going to get him to see his sinful ways? If you do, please seek help, since you are way out of touch with reality. Christ commanded us to love our neibour as we love ourselves and grouped it in his Great Commandment. Charity. Just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarkich Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Charity is the greatest virtue, above faith according to the Bible (just for the Fundamentalists who adhere to Sola Fide who are reading). I selected 1 as the answer because this is true, but we have to understand the true meaning of charity. The "ecumenical" activity where we pray with Protestants and other heretics is not a form of charity. This is not true charity. It is impossible to please God without the Cathoilc faith (Council of Trent, Session V), and therefore the prayer of anyone outside the Church does not bring honor to God but rather is a blasphemy to God. The virtue of charity also does not mean that we should be passive but rather that we should imitate Our Lord, Who was certainly not passive, in our endeavors and dealing with others. God bless.

[/quote] Whoa whoa, are you saying that Catholics shouldn't pray for Protestants. I always thought (and maybe this is wrong) that you should pray for sinners (as it states in the Lord's Prayer) including those who have strayed from the Truth. Please explain.
