[i]The concept of a Catholic phenomenology is even more absurd than the concept of a Protestant mathematics. Philosophy as science of being is fundamentally distinct in method from any other science. The distinction in method between, say, mathematics and classical philology is not as great as the difference between mathematics and philosophy or between philology and philosophy. The breadth of the difference between philosophy and the positive sciences, to which mathematics and philology belong, cannot at all be estimated quantitatively. In ontology, being is supposed to be grasped and comprehended conceptually by way of the phenomenological method, in connection with which we may observe that, while phenomenology certainly arouses lively interest today, what it seeks and aims at was already vigorously pursued in Western philosophy from the very beginning.[/i]

For goodness sake, if it makes you feel better I accept that your source (even though it was a Marxist website quoting Heidegger) was - at least in some sense - "scholarly." So does that make you feel better?

You are certainly easy to please, but then simple minded hippies usually are easy to please.

Pardon me . . . I meant "space" hippies.

Who was he talking about? Pentecostals and health and wealthers probably. I don't know of any Catholic who brags about THEIR deeds because it is God working in and through them. See ephesians 3:20-21 and maybe you'll get it. You can deny romans 2:4-8 and Matt 25 all you want. They are in your bible too. They make it clear that acts of love are what we are judged on. Yes, faith is the underlying motivation and that is why these works are worthy to be judged. The mighty works are the claims of casting out of demons. Matt 25 makes it clear that doing good to your neighbor is what we are judged on. The law of love it is called. Not one single verse that speaks of judgement talks about any kind of measure of what faith we had except in the context of the works that we performed. They again are what we are judged by. You ain't reading your bible right.

1 Peter 3:15

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. [b]But do this with gentleness and respect[/b]

Matthew 10:16

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as [b]shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.[/b]

Just sayin...if you think we need corrected...try doing what Jesus and St. Peter said to do...ya know? Worked for them, so...might work for you.
