Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 [quote name='fides' Jack' timestamp='1340646878' post='2448705'] Um - I'm pretty sure the Catholic Church doesn't run ads for itself. At least not TV ads... I guess brochures count as ads... [/quote] all our brouches and adds are in the church parish foyer or one of varying Catholic papers or the weekly bulletein,again in the church parish foyer. So i'm going to agree with you.

My point is that I lost some respect for the Science Channel after I saw this. I'll probably still watch them though, just because I like planets and space and stuff. [/quote] Well don't overly consume the television and or movies and games. And click mute when an add comes on you don't like and close your eyes for 5 minutes and pray for the offence incured. Be careful though, to much television,movies and games can take us away from valuble prayer,meditation,reading the holy word and other spiritual works, and simple fellowship and/or thinking. In australia thay estimate that the average australian indulges in 3 hours of television a day. It's no wonder democracy is failing no one has the time to write letters to governments which is way easier now through email, you can write one letter and post it to 50 pollies at the same time for practicaly free, nore have the energy to protest after it zapped by this at times false idol. Thats what i think anyway. T.V is just about the biggest idol on the planet at present. Edited June 28, 2012 by Tab'le Du'Bah-Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of which the term dogma is entirely misused and taken out of context. I love it. It's not even that leftist, I feel as if any ignoramas could have come up with this. [/quote] i love the word ignoramus, it doesn't mean idiot it just mean ignorant to the truth, church forcing dogma i have to laugh at that because the government forces you to stop at a red light too, but not everyone does, and most agree whether christian,athiest or whatever that it is good to stop at a red light, the government tries to help the nation the vatican and other clergy tries to help the faithfull. IGNORAMUSUS. I wonder whether there is such thing as a spiritual battering ram, that i would like to be. Butt out, flying kamakazee ram re-butt-tell.

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) it is terribly sad that the world thinks that the holy roman catholic church is a democracy. It's like saying that a penguin from antartica should be the president of the united states or at least be able to run for president. Don't be angry at there ignorance, feel sorry for them. Another example is lets say we as the layity or others in the world wan't to see a muslim sheik be the pope, how can he? He is not baptised and confirmed as one point. And saying we should renounce our faith as poison, i think the scientific atomic bomb has been far more poisonous or perhaps gun powder. And what of womens rites to become a priest, what of womens rites to lets say weight lift the clean and jerk in the mens division of the olympics. Or perhaps masculine ejaculatation during pro-creation should be a womens rite,this is not possible at present perhaps science will figure out how to do this too ? I doubt it. I guess the answer is in questions like , Why are we not happy with who we are? Why do we wan't power ? Why so often do i feel un-loved? Jesus' answer was because of sin, what is yours? We must forgive them, lest attempting to carry the weight of there crosses causes us to fail carrying our own.

PilgrimageOfGrace Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yeah...how dare those mean old Bishops preach the truth? Don't they know truth is by consensus?? "Cultural" catholic? What is that anyway? Is that the same as a RC (retired catholic)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
