Knight of the Holy Rosary Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) [quote]The Catechism of Pope St. Pius X: 32 Q. What should a Christian do who has been given a Bible by a Protestant or by an agent of the Protestants? A. A Christian to whom a Bible has been offered by a Protestant or an agent of the Protestants should reject it with disgust, because it is forbidden by the Church. If it was accepted by inadvertence, it must be burnt as soon as possible or handed in to the Parish Priest.[/quote]As Americans we have the right to turn down receiving a Protestant Bible...Does that mean that these Christians should be punished for giving them out? No. [quote]ugh. i'm sure the free condom man wouldn't be bothered! :mad: not to mention those annoying porn/hooker/stripper ads they shove in your hands in vegas[/quote] I think this is an excellent point. I remember being 15 years old in Las Vegas and being handed one of those vulgar flyers. And countless youth are being given packets of condoms in high schools!! What is our culture coming to when a kid being handed garbage that promotes a destructive lifestyle is called "freedom of speech" and handing out Bibles is offensive!?! Jesus Have Mercy!!

Thy Geekdom Come Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 [quote name='StThomasMore' post='1250936' date='Apr 20 2007, 09:13 PM']No they are not the same.

Anyway, folks, unless you want this thread closed, the thread needs to stay on topic. We will not be getting into Catholic vs. Catholic debate. Anyway, I would never use a Gideon Bible, but I do understand why they publish NT by itself. I have a Douay-Rheims NT, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm guessing it's as someone said that they were stopped not for handing out bibles, but for violating the location or some such thing. Freedom to hand out religious materials (to adults and children with parental permission) needs to be protected.

Budge Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 [quote] If it was accepted by inadvertence, it must be burnt as soon as possible or handed in to the Parish Priest. [/quote] You trying to help me out, to show that the Catholic Church did BAN and censor Bibles? [quote] they may be harmful to the Faith.[/quote] Yeah they sure will be...and thats good! [quote]Now, as Catholics we should support the Gideons in their case against Florida, because it is connected to our ability to hand out religious materials in front of abortion mills (and if deemed necessary, in front of public schools).[/quote] Yeah they lose their right to hand out religious material, so do you guys!

Lounge Daddy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 But getting back to the original topic.... My very [i]third[/i] Bible (1st was a Catholic children's that I received as a tot, 2nd was a complete Bible that I received for my 1st Communion) was a Gideon. I liked it because it was so very pocket-sized. I am curious to see where the case goes... it seems pretty lame going after a couple of Gideons. Where is the ACLU? Oh that's right - they hate God's Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 [quote name='Katholikos' post='1250750' date='Apr 20 2007, 08:14 PM']This headline and story are misleading. These guys weren't arrested for handing out Bibles. It was where they were doing it that was objectionable. There are laws to protect schools, and they appear to have been in violation of those laws. This smells like another case of misrepresentation of the facts by the Fundy press.[/quote] It is not clear exactly what was objectionable about it ... there aren't many news stories on it, and non (still online) from mainstream press. The stories I read seem to indicate that Florida's law prohibits people from being within 500 feet of school property unless they have prior approval and legitimate business. If the stories I read are accurate, these men got approval beforehand from both the sheriff and the school, but then several parents complained to the school about them. Like I said, though, there is not much info online aside from the publications that clearly support these guys. Which may not be a bad thing to do, but I'd like to see the rest of the story.

Winchester Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I have to question whether a group would have been arrested for handing out "Why Sandy Has Two Mommies" under the same circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budge Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 probably not, theyd be given the key to the city or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
