But it means a lot more than this. Numerous Christian denominations don’t accept the born again view. The idol-worshipping Catholics and their relatives, the Episcopalians (Catholic-lights), are among them. So, we won’t have to experience that Tijuana smell and annoying apparition-spotting in the hereafter. And don’t forget all the people who had the misfortune of passing away before Jesus was born, like Adam and
Abraham. They could never accept Jesus (since they didn’t even know who He was), hence they must fry.




What will happen to the vast majority of people who wind up in hell? They will experience the worst pain, agony and stench imaginable, for eternity. Remember how it feels to have a match or small flame held under your fingertip or other part of your skin for a few seconds? Now, imagine that such pain exists all over your body and never goes away – that excruciating agony lasts for millions of years, never abating. That’s what you morons who refuse to accept the Lord face. True Christians will watch you suffer from our skyboxes in heaven. And we won’t feel badly for you, because we know you had the same chance we had for salvation. I hope living it up now was worth it. You deserve what you get, you disgusting heathens.



Toodles!

Father Geoffrey Farrow is a gay priest who publicly opposed Proposition 8 in California. He is a serious man who wrestled with faith and unfaith over the years and came back to the church, to serve it, as a pastor. This kind of man is essential for the Church's future. And yet the price of his decision to speak out for the marginalized is that he has been removed from his parish, and his health benefits end after this month. But his story is, to my mind, a sign of what Catholicism is at its best:



    Farrow said he still sees the church as home, and believes his new mission is to force this issue whether he's wearing a collar or not. "They said I've caused scandal to the church," he said. "I think the real scandal is the thousands of gay and lesbian children who feel abandoned by the church of their baptism."

This case should be interesting.

Wealthy cleric Pujiono Cahyo Widiyanto marries a 12-year-old girl in his hometown of Semarang, Central Java

The second edict, issued in 2006, bans purely religious marriages, kawin siri, as conducted by the cleric, because of the inherent disadvantages it brings. Such a marriage, however, is allowed under traditional Islamic law.

Election Novena Day 5

    1 Corinthians 11

    The Institution of the Lord’s Supper

    23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for* you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ 25In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.


    Partaking of the Supper Unworthily

    27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. 28Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For all who eat and drink* without discerning the body,* eat and drink judgement against themselves
