cmotherofpirl Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I truly do not think this is necessary reading for any of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Cmom, at first i'd have to agree. I don't know the MacFarlane's personally, but I have read several Bud books and followed catholicity.com years before this happened. This is sad miserable, and heartbreaking. Realise this: God takes all bad things and uses them for good. That is what I am going to do. I know God has called me to the married vocation. I know there are pitfalls and trapts. Marriage is under attack, demonic, satanic attack, and not just in America, but worldwide. I praise God for stengthening my faith and commitment even through the worst of times. The injustice of the situation only helps me work on being a better person and to seek holiness, to prepare me for my vocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Oct 4 2004, 04:47 PM'] You have no clue to Bud and Bai's marriage, theology, or personal business. They are good people going thru hell. THis is not the National Enquirer. And there is nothing wrong with Bud's theology which is certainly more orthodox and catholic than other works of fiction out there. Detraction, calumny, and gossip are still sins and will not be posted on this board. There but for the grace of God go us all. [/quote] I am offended that you would call my post something found in tabloids. It was a reasonable view as to why Bud MacFarlane has lost his religion which last time I checked divorce was not apart of. I in no way or in any shape or from presented my view as absoulte truth. If you'd had bothered to read it more closely you would have noticed this: [quote] While I obviously can't claim that I know this is what's happening to MacFarlane I do think he most likely lost his faith after the Y2K bug turned out to be a hoax.[/quote] Right there I presented doubts to my own statement. My entire point was to give another reason to people as to why they should be suspicious of apparitions which the Church also says as well. I really don’t care if it’s orthodox now or not. History shows it can quickly become [i]un[/i]orthodox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I did read it carefully, I simply disagree with it. You are mixing Bud's fictional writing, [which is inline orthodox Catholic teaching ]with your personal opinions of approved appariations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popestpiusx Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Respice, quaesumus, Domine, super hos famulos tuos: et institutis tuis, quibus propagationem humani generis ordinasti, benignus assiste; ut qui te auctore junguntur, te auxiliante serventur. Per Christum Dominum Nostrum. Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Oct 5 2004, 12:34 AM']I did read it carefully, I simply disagree with it.[/quote] You accused me of calumney and tabloid-like analysis. That's alot more than simply disagreeing. [quote]You are mixing Bud's fictional writing, [which is inline orthodox Catholic teaching ]with your personal opinions of approved appariations.[/quote] Not really. It's the opinion of the Church, not just me, that we should be baseing our faith in God and Holy Mother Church. Yes, we can [i]believe[/i] in appartions as long as they are in line with Church teaching. We cannot, however, place to much faith in them, as in the past as happened. It was, however, my opinion that Bud MacFarlane put too much faith in apparitions. I have always maintained this. I was only trying to give a possible explantion of why he has lost his faith to those asking. It has never been presented as a fact. [quote]I think the issues of divorce are important, however I do not think personal details of someones divorce should be discussed.[/quote] That would certainly hold true for private indivuals in the Church, but for public figures like Mr. MacFarlane the opposite is required of him. He should, at least, give his side of the divorce. No, he doesn't need to tell us about every argument, but a few words would be nice. Mrs. MacFarlane has summed it up as "a character laspe" he should be able to do something similar. Until I hear from him on this matter it is my veiw that Mr MacFarlane should resign from his respected offices. Not only is he trying to cover this divorce up, but he is trying to protray himself as an authenticly Catholic husband when he is not. Deal Hudson had his downfall, yes, but he had the dignity to resign. Mr. MacFarlane should do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 what you are asking them to do is not possible nor appropiate at this time when their family is hanging on a thread, whats important is them saving it.
