If it is true he is one of your ancestors I’m sincerely jealous.

Well, none of my family cares about our heritage, so I am the first one to look this up.

I’m learning most of this stuff after 20 years, with the help of my grandma and her sister (one lives in Spain and doesn’t speak English and the other one has amnesia, but has a full family tree memorized when she’s not having problems remembering her name). But the name is legit, and so far we’re in the early to middle 1600’s.

Yes, but then Tirib yells about yucky kissy smoochy ecumenism.

[quote]Brother Chris wrote:<<< Yes, but then Tirib yells about yucky kissy smoochy ecumenism. [/quote]Yes indeed I do. It’s a con, a trap, and just plain biblically revolting. Not on Pat’s part directly. He’s only an unwitting foot soldier in the cause of illicitly prying God’s gate far wider than His Word allows, but then he’s not alone. Wojtyƅ?a came a hair’s breadth from outright universalism himself.

…how can you say this when you don’t understand what we believe. True Catholic Ecumenism is very simple, which Pope John Paul the Great (not Karol Wojtyla) was very good at preaching, repent and be baptized. :slight_smile:

His…system was a bit more complex than that, but not much more than that. Very much the ambassadors method. He would first compliment, then insult (but instruct). First show common understanding, then show how they are wrong.

Sorry, the man called Buddhism ā€œreligious atheismā€ conning themselves in their own delusions. He also told Muslims they were basically irrational, lacking in reality, and their denial of Jesus’ divinity was a huge mistake. I’ll see if I can find the letter, but he pretty much wrote every large religion complimenting them and telling them they were idiots for not being Catholics and why they were idiots. That is my crude assessment of the man’s preaching.

The guy was so far away from universal-ism he made modernism his bitch (bitch as in female dog, not in the derogatory term for a woman).

It’s been a while, but I read some stuff of His (lots actually) that REALLY appeared to push it close. The discussion is well known actually.

Like what?

The discussion is not well known to me.

I have an audio file somewhere where the guy did a pretty fair job with extensive quotes from documented firsthand sources of showing that the beloved pontiff had VERY wide view of the gate that Jesus Himself said was narrow.

Pat has said outright that everybody not directly and violently denying the faith will find their way to heaven (in essence). I always thought he was just following his pope. Seriously. That hasn’t been historic Catholic teaching, but who can decipher what is or isn’t exactly the en vogue expression of Roman dogma from one century to the next? Notice I said expression. The recorded material doesn’t change, but what it’s taken to mean sure has and does. Rome is the slickest of the slick. Vat.II changed nothing while changing everything. (yes a bit hyperbolic) and that is not a sarcastic statement.

There are entire segments of Romanism who disavow anything post Vatican II because they quite rightly recognize how drastically things changed toward liberalism. Then I read other people’s long diatribes and come away with the nebulous ā€œsensationā€ that nothing actually did change. Then I go to the Word of almighty God and all makes sense again.

Most of the quotes I found after looking through those links appeared to refer to invincible ignorance, not universalism. And a lot of them seemed to have been pounced upon by detractors and ripped and maimed out of context.

Baloney. Flat horsecrap. I never, ever, ever, ever said anything remotely resembling that…If so, show me where…

Further proof you know nothing about Catholicism.

Even if a Pope believes in something heretical such as Universalism, it doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t make it an official Church teaching. Pope’s are not perfect and there are some who are burning in hell as we speak.

Oh and I will respond to your PM later today brother Tirib. I am kinda busy trying to contact a stupid supplement company that messed up an order (not Biotest).

Actually, after reading Vatican II documents and understanding the Magisterium’s role in understanding the council (because of its language) the council didn’t do much (laxity in obligatory stuff like meatless Fridays and Mass in the sacred language happened, but were still highly encouraged). What did happen was the wave of modernism that hit the Church a few decades before, finally slipped through with the ā€œ[fake] spirit of Vatican II.ā€ It is the Rule for Radicals coming to blossom.

The council itself is not heretical, although those groups are usually heretical or at least schismatic. But, yes there were abuses post VII, but VII itself did not allow those abuses. The fact that there were also abuses before (that is why we created the Office of Inquisition after all) seems to allude some of these schismatic groups.
