There is many a Catholic apologist who would agree that the actions by these folks isn't representative of Catholic teaching and/or is just plain wrong to do, but where is that "teaching church" I keep hearing about? Where is the correction? A belief in a Christ who we haven't seen trumps those who find a need to adore what they do see. I'll stick to Christ and John 20:29 on the matter.
I'm so sorry. For the past year, I've been as hardpressed for time as one can possibly be. But since I have given up on the forum scene, I would consider it an honor to be part of your blogging team. You did send me the login info some time ago, but I don't have it anymore. Do me a favor and email it to me. I'll do my best.
Rhology, I have never said anything worse than the hateful nonsense your write. The only difference here is that you have the double standard, not I. If I think that a fellow catholic is wrong, I'll tell them all the same. You know this to be the case.
Y'know, you're one of the most uncharitable people I've ever "met" on the internet. There's certainly Catholic nonsense out there, but the post to which you linked was merely suggestive, and Pat Madrid is a good guy. I can't believe your attitude worked all that well on the mission field.

Looking for an Obscure Luther Quote? Chances are if you've wound up on this site, you're looking for information on an obscure quote said to come from Martin Luther or one of the other Protestant Reformers. This blog has been compiling information on obscure Reformation quotes for over a decade. Use the search engines below to look for your particular obscure quote.
“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther
"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til
"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin
"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin
This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.

I was expecting a UFO!
Looks like ol' Pat has an itchy delete-comment finger. Not as though my comment was all that nice...
Perhaps Patti Scissorhands is in charge of Madrid's comments.
Yeah, you guys have room to talk about deleting comments.

I had to start deleting idiotic comments. I could take no more.2009 is the year of non-tolerance at Beggars All.

Once more, when will join my blogging team?
Hi Jim,
I'm so sorry. For the past year, I've been as hardpressed for time as one can possibly be. But since I have given up on the forum scene, I would consider it an honor to be part of your blogging team.

"Yeah, you guys have room to talk about deleting comments."
Exactly.
Ray,
I don't think I have your e-mail address anymore. Please send it.
Yes, we are all the poorer for not having more Daniel Montoro and Frank Luciani. Shame on you, James.

Well said.
Yes!
I think I'm catholic now. That picture is obviously a miracle. You really need to convert also. It's so clear.
