indescribable Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 i think i would be opposed to the negative nature of "spewed." it sounds like Luther's conclusions were puked up over night, when in fact, they were spurred by corruption in the Catholic church. it's just a negative connotation. even if it's right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZewe Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeah, I can understand the heresies, I suppose, but the spewed is what really did it. And the fact that it had NOTHING to do with the life of Saint Paschaul Bailon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musturde Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I talked to a girl whose father is a Lutheran pastor (she converted to Catholicism at age 15, i believe). She said that most Lutherans don't even read what Luther himself wrote. If they did, they wouldn't be Lutheran. Luther was crazy and anti-semetic. Go to any Holocaust museum, you'll find him referenced somewhere. However, heresy, by definition, "Any opinions or doctrines at variance with the official or orthodox position", this is often related to the Catholic Church. If they say he was a heretic to the Catholic Church's standards (he was actually an augustinian hermit). If he was part of the Church, people can say he was a heretical Catholic. There is nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "Dan Brown hating" here, protest of his hate filled anti-catholic book perhaps but there is no hate, our protest of The Da Vinci Code is not hate, simpley protest and defense.

kamiller42 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 ChrisZewe, Was is the host of Journey Home who said it or the guest? I have seen guests who have converted from their prior faith and say some less than flattering words. The host usually lets the guest have the floor and simply gives direction to the conversation. EWTN could edit out dialogue, but I think it's the open and honest conversation the show allows which encourages converts to not be afraid to tell their story, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwergel88 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I would say that by definition what they said about them was true of course, but the word choice was such that it could be construed as rude and a hindrance to dialogue. I think they could have put that in a nicer way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Don't get me started on Ignorant agnostics. Catholics can call people heretics rightfully as long as the people are Catholic... I mean Martin Luther was an Anti-Semite and attempted to take out some books of the New Testament (such as James) that dissagreed with his theology. This makes sense to call him heretical. There's really no point in your argument. EWTN would not bash the religion, they'd talk exclusively about Luther. Most Lutherans don't even read the writings of Luther.

jezic Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 i believe slandering is telling lies. If they did what you claim they didn't lie at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZewe Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Okay...you are all missing my point. I don't really care about the heresies bit. It was the dismal verb choice that got me, and I'm not getting how you don't see that. And it was [i]Journeys of [b]Faith[/b][/i] not [i]Journey Home[/i]...
