    Hans Kung has died at 93

    His rejection of the doctrine of papal infallibility is obviously revolutionary, as are his ideas of a female priesthood and diaconate. It is therefore Satanic, in that revolting against Christ and His Church, one emulates the devil in his revolutionary cry of non serviam.

    Hans Kung has died at 93

    May God have mercy on his soul. One can't speak to the depth or sincerity of his faith, but we can observe that he was clearly a proponent of revolutionary (read: Satanic) theological and ecclesiastical ideas. What a pity that he died in such a state. Oremus.

    Aussies to vote soon on whether to make gay marriage legal

    As a Catholic, it's a 'no' from me, and I am actively involved in CFM's 'NO' campaign.

    What kind of Christian am I?

    On penance for sins: We are told that faith is dead without works. If one does not work in expressing the degree to which he detests his sin, but rather shrugs his shoulders, then can it really be said that he has love for Christ, and appreciation for Christ's willingness to absolve him of his...

    He certainly gave Peter a share in His authority, as the visible shepherd. This brief lecture explains it in detail:

    His power of delegation? I'm saying He delegated His ruling and teaching authority to form His worldly Church. I am at work and don't have access to a computer. Later today, I will demonstrate why both of these things are Biblically confirmed. It is a Church document by virtue of being a...

    What kind of Christian am I?

    Scripture is certainly profitable to the cultivation of one's faith, but founding your religion on it - a Church document, the authority of which is derived from the authority of that same Catholic Church? We were gifted with both intellect and reason for a purpose. I never said that it did. I...

    What kind of Christian am I?

    And think myself to have a greater understanding than two millennia of Biblical scholars and theologians? I can't imagine myself doing that, to be honest. Especially when my Bible is just that - a translation. Not the original text(s). Edit: What's more is that I have read much of the Bible for...

    What kind of Christian am I?

    Who am I to say that the successors of the apostles are wrong in their determination of doctrine, rooted on thousands of years of tradition? Yes, that is arrogant. And incorrect. There is unequal glorification of the saints in heaven. Yes, the whole Church is a priesthood, in that we are all...

    What kind of Christian am I?

    It's not up to me; the determination is from the Church - from the Magisterium which derives (inherits) its authority to rule on matters of faith and morals from the apostles themselves. Where a congregation divorces from the Church in doctrine, then so does it divorce itself from Peter and the...

    On numerous occasions: Presbyterian, Anglican, Baptist.

    What kind of Christian am I?

    Garbage. If a 'church' is not in communion with Rome, then it does not hold the apostolic faith - the one faith of Jesus Christ. If it is not in communion with Rome, then it is schismatic at best, and almost certainly heretical; the doctrine it teaches is false - its understanding of the Gospel...

    What kind of Christian am I?

    There is only one Church, which is Christ's Body - not many. As Ven. Fulton John Sheen aptly put it: "Christ cannot have many bodies... That would be a physical monstrosity!"

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    He has two natures - one human and one divine - which are separate and operate in tandem, but are still part of the same being. In this way, God can take on the human burden of sin as a human. There's no other way I can possibly explain it.

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    Exactly right, actually. Ergo: CCC 464: The unique and altogether singular event of the Incarnation of the Son of God does not mean that Jesus Christ is part God and part man, nor does it imply that he is the result of a confused mixture of the divine and the human. He became truly man while...

    Abrahamic faiths: Free will and predestination

    God loves each of us individually; He would not have us created any other way than how He does create us. So, if His vision of how a given individual ought to be, the circumstances he ought to face, etc. is an array of variables which eventually leads to the person falling short of the mark and...

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    Was that supposed to be a joke? It's how the Church functions. Laymen - those who are not lay theologians especially - do not reserve the right to condemn clerics. I'm 'not suiting myself'; I'm abiding by Catholic tradition. I'm not the one to determine that that's the case - others vastly...

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    An orthodox Catholic is simply one who abides by the teachings of the Church. I do. You're in for a big surprise, I imagine. The revitalisation of the Catholic faith is coming about through the young, who gravitate heavily towards tradition. I'm a layman. It's not up to me to condemn as a...

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    'Substituting my own judgement for the pope's'? What? Francis is communicating grave error - Amoris Laetitia contained no less than at least 19 erroneous propositions, over half of which were outright heretical. The possibility of schism in the contemporary Church is no longer something to joke...

    What are your thoughts about the Catholic Church?

    I don't appreciate slander. I am not a sedevacantist, and do not recognise the position to barely hold any water whatsoever. You feeling as though you are hated by orthodox Catholics is not a stain on us, believe me.
