The sign peace does not add to the validity of the mass infact it was lost for almost 500 years and only reintroduced after the second Vatican council, in my opinion it should not be part of the mass and again and mass should go back to being said ad orietem at least, if not also entirely in Latin |

| Religion / Re: Which Of These Churches Will Jesus Accept And Attend? by shumax: 11:33pm On Jul 26, 2014 |
larrymoore: If Christians claim to all belong to one body of Christ why is this happening as contrary to One Christ, One Bible Religion… You know the Latin Catholic will not enter Syrian Catholic Church. These two will not enter Marthoma Church. These three will not enter Pentecost Church. These four will not enter Salvation Army Church. These five will not enter Seventh Day Adventist Church. These six will not enter Orthodox Church. These seven will not enter Jacobite church. Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone for Christianity, each will never share their churches for fellow Christians..! Wonderful..! One Christ, One Bible, One Jehova.... What a unity! The most disturbing part of this is that each of this segment of christianity has it own doctrine and belief, what a confused world!OP, you didnt get it right the latin rite, syrian catholic and marthoma churshes are all part of the holy catholic church, just differen rites under one head the pope, the reason why the chuech advises each to attend thier main rite is because of each rite has its main language and liturgical methods which differ from each other but in cases where the rite you belong are not available you can atten mass in any rite as far as it is catholic |

There is nothing like roman catholic the prefix Roman before catholic is a protestant invention, in all the documents of the church the term Roman Catholic is used only to refer to the diocese of Rome or to emphasize sometimes the Popes Jurisdiction, There is only one catholic church and it has Rome has its headquarters and the Pope has her Physical head on earth |

koastar: When I was in the uni, I was an active member in the church as an NFCSer. I joined drama, church warden, I was the academic coordinator and provost of NFCS. Those days were lovely as I served God through these groups. But after graduation, when I got back to my parish at home, I joined choir but I didn't feel the enthusiasm as a member. I left and joined church warden, same way, I didn't feel any spiritual accomplishment. I felt bored & left. Now, I'm in a different parish in another state. I only go to church & attend all programs as possible. Right now, I don't know which society to join because I don't know which one will bring back my enthusiasm and dedication, a society or group that I will always look forward to their next meetingSame with me after i left the university the enthusiasim kind off left like you I attend mass daily and all the programms possible in addition to that i Just buy and read both hard copy and online as many catholic spiritual books, it helps me maintain a strong level of commitment and enthusiam that i dont get by just going to church 1 Like |

| Religion / Re: Those Using Church Money To Buy Jets Have Alot To Answer – Archbishop Ekpu by shumax: 1:36pm On Aug 25, 2013 |
E<R>F: Na wa for u sef!!!!!! dont you know how to read? please let me quote the archbishop again "If they bought private jets, how did they come about the money? Félix Houphouët-Boigny built a basilica. I remember visiting Abidjan and from there I went to Yamoussoukro. It was the Nigerian ambassador to Cote D’Ivoire who told us that the man built the basilica from the resources of his family, that his father had a large expanse of land and that they had a lot of cocoa from which they made their wealth. But an outsider will say that he used government money to build it. So if a pastor had also bought a private jet and used the resources of his family, you probably will say he has used his followers’ money, but if indeed he uses his followers’ money and his followers allow him, then they have endorsed what he is doing.

Atleast, it takes you to judge and acknowledge someone sin before you can forgive them.the pope never issued e forgiveness is that possible, and there is nothing like playing safe the scriptures and catechism of the catholic church is clear on the issue not even the pope can change that |

| Religion / Official Translation Of The Interview With Pope Francis On Gays by shumax: 10:00am On Jul 30, 2013 |
And finally the most complete transcript of the full remarks of Pope Francis on the plane this morning returning from Rio comes from a couple of sources. The first question was: Holiness, there was news published about the intimacy of Monsignor Ricci, how will you address this issue and how does His Holiness intend to address the whole issue of the "gay lobby"? Vatican reporter John Allen gives this transcript of the Pope’s remarks: The Ricca Case “I did what canon law requires, which is to conduct a preliminary investigation. We didn’t find anything to confirm the things he was accused of, there was nothing … I’d like to add that many times we seem to seek out the sins of somebody’s youth and publish them. We’re not talking about crimes, which are something else. The abuse of minors, for instance, is a crime. But one can sin and then convert, and the Lord both forgives and forgets. We don’t have the right to refuse to forget … it’s dangerous. The theology of sin is important. St. Peter committed one of the greatest sins, denying Christ, and yet they made him pope! Think about that.” Gay Lobby “There’s a lot of talk about the gay lobby, but I’ve never seen it on the Vatican ID card!” “When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby. If they accept the Lord and have good will, who am I to judge them? They shouldn’t be marginalized. The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem … they’re our brothers.” One final add on to the pope’s gay lobby remarks and was provided by the BBC: “The problem is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse problem." Now what is wrong with what he said ?further read: http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/what-pope-francis-could-not-mean-regarding-gay-priests-and-what-he-actually |

pet_saint:Yes i am a catholic and proud of it, I am also praying that the day when a pro gay pope will be elected will never come; but even at that Gay people have never been stoped from recieving the sacraments if they lead chaste lives, the catholic church has always said having homosexual tendencies is not a sin, it is a temptation and we all face temptation, but the sin is in given in to the homosexual act.

| Religion / What Did Pope Francis Really Mean By "Who Am I To Judge Gay People"? by shumax: 8:55pm On Jul 29, 2013 |
this is a long read but for all those who are interested, it presents the real scenero of what made the pope made such a statement and what it really means The press is buzzing right now with claims that Pope Francis has taken a sharply different line than his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, on the subject of homosexuality. Some are suggesting that the new pope has announced that "gay is okay." What did Pope Francis really say, and how unusual is it? Here are 7 things to know and share . . . 1) Where did Pope Francis make these remarks? He made them during an 80-minute interview with reporters aboard the plane returning from World Youth Day in Brazil. 2) What was he asked that led to the remarks? We may not know exactly what the question was until a transcript is released, but apparently, he was asked about the reputed "gay lobby" at the Vatican. More info on that here. 3) What exactly did he say? According to the best current accounts, he said: There's a lot of talk about the gay lobby, but I've never seen it on the Vatican ID card. When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby. If they accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn't be marginalized. The tendency [i.e., same-sex attraction] is not the problem ... they're our brothers. 4) What does this mean? The first part of the statement seems to downplay the who "gay lobby" issue. He's not denying that there is one there, but he's suggesting that the talk is somewhat overblown. He then explains his approach to dealing with gay people: He distinguishes between their "being gay" and "being part of a lobby." What he means by "being gay" is something he further unpacks. In ordinary parlance, "being gay" can mean anything from having same-sex attraction to leading an active "gay lifestyle" to endorsing and advocating a pro-homosexual ideology. The last of these would be functioning as a member of a lobby, and he indicates that this is not what he is talking about. He then describes those he is talking about as people who "accept the Lord and have goodwill." He then seems to further clarify who he is talking about by saying that "The tendency [i.e., same-sex attraction] is not the problem ... they're our brothers." Taking his statements together, what emerges is a portrait of individuals who have same-sex attraction but who nevertheless accept the Lord and have goodwill, as opposed to working to advance a pro-homosexual ideology. This would definitely include people with same-sex attraction who strive to live chastely (even if they sometimes fail). It also, possibly, could include individuals who are not living chastely but who are not actively lobbying a homosexual agenda. It would be nice if he'd said a little more to clarify the point further. 5) What does he say about people in this category? He says that he does not think he is in a position to judge them and that they should not be marginalized. He also says that the mere tendency (same-sex attraction) "is not the problem," and that "they're our brothers." 6) How new is this? Not very. Disclaiming a right to "judge" others is something that goes back to Jesus. It does not mean a failure to recognize the moral character of others' actions, however. One can form a moral appraisal that what someone else is doing is wrong (Jesus obviously does not forbid that) without having or showing malice toward them. The statement that they should not be marginalized is similarly in keeping with the Holy See's approach to the subject, as 1992 Vatican document On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons. The statement that same-sex attraction "is not the problem," when understood correctly, is also nothing new. "The problem," as Pope Francis seems to here be understanding it, is going beyond merely having a sinful tendency--a temptation to which one is subject. Obviously, temptations are problem, but if we resist temptation we do not sin. "The problem," on this understanding, is giving into the temptation and sinning or--worse--building an ideology around the sin and trying to advocate the sin. Finally, the statement that "they're our brothers" is also no novelty. Christians, like everyone, have struggled with every sort of temptation all through history. Same-sex attraction is just one temptation among numerous others, and the fact that a person suffers from this temptation no more deprives him of the status of being a brother in Christ than any other temptation does.
