The pope called for the bells at the Vatican to be rung in celebration of the massacre. as well as saying masses in celebration of the event.<br /><br />2. The vatican issued coins in commemoration of the event.<br /><br />It was a very dark event for Catholics that had support from the very top.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759432774174066023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-43303746872627156702014-03-07T08:12:42.049-05:002014-03-07T08:12:42.049-05:00I would want to see the context of the argument th...I would want to see the context of the argument that was presented. It reminds me of the who executed John Huss question. Romanists claim they didn't do it, but he was executed because of the infallible declaration of the Council of Constance <br /><br />The Catechism of the Catholic Church includes "those who are pilgrims on earth" as part of the communion of saints (954, 962). See also 825: "The Church on earth is endowed already with a sanctity that is real though imperfect. In her members perfect holiness is something yet to be acquired." <br /><br />I can only speak from my Reformed perspective, that on face value their isn't much disagreement with the overall idea that the saints on earth still sin. Of course, for Romanism, the entire paradigm of "church" is bathed in her false soteriology, so when it's all fleshed out, the idea of "church" shows a lot dissimilarities with my Reformed view.James Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136781934797867593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-15362914262281737652014-03-06T20:07:50.179-05:002014-03-06T20:07:50.179-05:00I saw a discussion where a RC blogger claims that:...I saw a discussion where a RC blogger claims that: <br /><br />"Its not the church that sent the people to massacre. The massacre was due to overzealous sinners" <br /><br />and that <br /><br />"the church remains holy and untainted, despite its sons and daughters committing sins" <br /><br />and that <br /><br />"when the church's members commit sins, the church mourns and is disfigured, but the church remains holy". <br /><br />What are your thoughts on this?explorerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898412174864424361noreply@blogger.com
