Nope.
Sam's Irish. What's your excuse?
Nope.
I like Cruciform! Am I the only one?
Sam's Irish.
Cruciform insists on being judged by his works--so he will be (Is 64:6). All men receive justice or mercy. He chooses the former (Jude 11, Re 20:11). Christians will appear at the Bema seat (1 Cor 3:12)....I'm a cafeteria not-really-Catholic...
There's a bunch more, but, it's mostly commentary on how that works.

It is rare to see a Catholic define what the Gospel is.
As you can see why. Your answer conflicts with Scripture.
1 Cor. 15 "Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures"
The Gospel message is what God has done for us, and we are to believe.
I wish you wouldn't spread that around...lain:
Actually, I mainly identify with this part of my heritage.(Run it through a translator if you don't speak Italian, or cheat and go to the wiki)
Oh, sorry, can't help myself. I am part Irish too ya know. The Sicilians have come up with a fine pizza so I guess you do have something to be proud of.
I'm not actually Sicilian. I'm calabrese. But Calabria was part of the Regno delle Due Sicilie too. We, by the way, were the richest of the preunitary Italian states before the Risorgimento, essentially the conquest of the rest of the peninsula by Sardinia. Since then the Sud(south) has been a poor backwater and to be called meridionale or Borbonico(both essentially meaning southern) has come to be an insult. So don't ask me to celebrate Giuseppe Garibaldi.
I don't know who or what your sources regarding the situation here have been, but, for your information, there are and have been other Catholics here besides Cruciform. So, I don't think you needed to be too worried about that in particular.Anyway, I think only one part of the story of my faith is getting much play around here and I wanted to be sure another Catholic voice, equally stubborn, is heard.
He's hard core, old school, Catholic. (my impression, not saying I'm any sort of Catholic expert) Because of that, I find his posts interesting even when I disagree.
Very, very few people are well enough informed to make that distinction. There are indeed some very significant differences, but most people assume that one is basically the same as the other.Interesting. I'd actually gotten the impression from his posts that he was more of a conservative than a traditionalist type.
God can be as kind to you as He pleases.Exactamundo. The LORD God cannot "love" anyone into His presence.
Indeed. Nothing Thomist at all there.Interesting. I'd actually gotten the impression from his posts that he was more of a conservative than a traditionalist type.
Welcome to the fray!I hate to post this, I think "One Post Wonder" is such a great designator, I'm afraid it'll disappear with my next post.
I didn't join to put anyone down or convert anybody or make trouble, but trouble will ensure, it's pretty much inevitable, though I try to avoid ad hom, myself. I fail, too often, but I try.
Anyway, I think only one part of the story of my faith is getting much play around here and I wanted to be sure another Catholic voice, equally stubborn, is heard.
The job of my Church is this: to proclaim the Gospel. That's pretty much it really. The Gospel is: Love one another.
There's a bunch more, but, it's mostly commentary on how that works. Of course, for us, it's all about Jesus Christ, but loving one another will ineluctably lead all to Him, so there ya go.
Okay, nice to see y'all, :wave2: off to await Cruc telling me I'm a cafeteria not-really-Catholic. We're gonna have some fun, now.

Welcome to the fray!
When you have the time, search out posts by fellow Catholic Evoken. You would do well to emulate this man's witness for that which he holds dear. Evoken is a man that Cruciform would do well to aspire to in his efforts.

Well, let's see. I am pro-life. That means I am anti-war, anti-death penalty, anti-torture under any circumstances, anti-animal cruelty, mindless exploitation of the environment and also what you meant by that.If you're pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, anti-liberation theology, anti-liturgical abuse, and obedient to the teaching magisterium, welcome.
If not... then not so much.
