RemyMartins: Brother, you have spoken well. God bless you. It is obvious we are in the last days. Our Lord warned us of these things. Everything that we see today, is expected to come to pass. What we are complaining about and condemning today, will be perfectly normal in the next 50 yrs, if the Lord tarries. I feel very sorry for the future generations. The future is so bleak. It's gonna be harder to be a believer then. Faith in Christ is waning. God is not in the plan of the world. Thankfully, the world is in God's plan. He will erect a barrier btw his people and the unbelievers. At the end of the day, like nairalanders like to say, "Godwin". |

raayah: Wow. How lucky of them to have been liberated from superstitious baloney which is the root of the problem we all face and embrace a sensible ideology based on non secular rational empiricism? The adherence to the belief in magic sky fairies and their zombie resurrectionist necromancer offspring don't really deserve a place in the twenty-first century. I implore young ladies of the Catholicism faith to repudiate this order from the pope and stick to the status quo. Thankfully, I've excommunicated myself, else I'd have pleaded with the priests to be ostracised. 1 Like 1 Share |

So the pope now forgives sins and also delegates sin forgiving responsibilities to others Is this ignorance or lack of knowledge of the scriptures or deliberate distortion of the scriptures? 2 Likes |

adesegun121: Yes! A time is coming when the beast will demand for outright worship as contained in the book of Revelation. Now that's the first step and United state will support this beast with everything they have. They have been rebuilding the beast called "The Mother of Whores" since 1798. The beast crushed by Luther will rise again with the help of US and will call himself God and demand that the whole world worship him. Time is short! Bible prophecies unfolding right before us! #AntiChrist coming from Europe |

[s] missKiffy:[/s] Catholics don't seek forgiveness from priests but God. The confession formulae says " Forgive me lord......" not forgive me priest. u need a priest to admonish u and counsel u on ways to avoid returning to same sin in d future. Then absolve u in line with Biblical injunction of any sin u forgive on earth is forgiven in heaven. Then there is a clause, only if u had genuine repentance. the priest may absolve u but u r not forgiven cos u had a bad confession. Most Pentecostal now have counselling office and some do public confession. Yet attack Catholics. 1 Like |

Pope Francis will allow priests discretion to absolve women who have had abortions if they seek forgiveness during the upcoming Holy Year beginning Dec. 8, the Vatican announced in a statement Tuesday. "One of the serious problems of our time is clearly the changed relationship with respect to life," the pope wrote in the English-language version of his letter, in which he described the "existential and moral ordeal" of women who have chosen to terminate their pregnancies. Remarking that he has met with many women who have faced this decision, Francis said that women "who bear in their heart the scar of this agonizing and painful decision" deserve the forgiveness of God if they seek it. "The forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented, especially when that person approaches the Sacrament of Confession with a sincere heart in order to obtain reconciliation with the Father," Francis wrote. "For this reason too, I have decided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to concede to all priests for the Jubilee Year the discretion to absolve of the sin of abortion those who have procured it and who, with contrite heart, seek forgiveness for it," the pontiff went on. "May priests fulfil this great task by expressing words of genuine welcome combined with a reflection that explains the gravity of the sin committed, besides indicating a path of authentic conversion by which to obtain the true and generous forgiveness of the Father who renews all with his presence." The latest message comes weeks before the pope is set to visit the United States, where the debate over the legal status of abortion has continued for more than 40 years since the Supreme Court's decision inRoe v. Wade, and has intensified in recent months with videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the donation of tissues from aborted fetuses. While he's in the U.S., Francis will stop in Washington, D.C., and New York before traveling to Philadelphia. Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush weighed in on Francis' statement on Tuesday morning, saying that he was not surprised and that "we could all use a lot of mercy in this world." "I hope that we also focus on mercy for the unborn, the hundreds of thousands of babies that will die," the former governor of Florida said in a Fox News interview. "I think we need to have a society that protects life from the beginning to end, and we should be a repentant society, for sure." http://www.politico.com/story/2015/09/pope-francis-abortion-forgive-women-213210#ixzz3kVT6JAiR [size=4pt]cc : Lalasticala, seun, ishilove[/size][/quote] |
