Toady at the bank, a lady was telling me how Pope Francis now gives homosexuals the right to marry. Life is busy with two daughters under eighteen months of age but I know the Vicar of Christ would never go against the Truth of GOD.
This Vortex hits that particular nail perfectly and drives that sixteen penny home in one perfect motion.
Awesomely blessed to call myself a Catholic during times like this. Bring whatever Satan has, I want the best game he thinks he has. After bed, I will slap him with my dead hand ; ) JAA JAA JAA

What do you think happens at devout Catholic parties? Do you think they start the first half hour by serving out wine and making John Chapter II jokes until everyone is uncomfortable? And then finish by dancing prudishly to hymns set at a reasonable volume so as to not aggravate the heathens across the road?

Having been to parties in which the Irish host and his Scottish friends were all devout Catholics, I can tell you: a lot of drinking.

Ah that sounds more like it, something tells me Irish Catholic and Catholics from other Western countries differ in celebratory tactics though. I wonder how differently they differ indeed, which side are you on OP, blind drinking and righteous fury or reasonable box socials that finish at an hour as to not inhibit late-night reading time?
Yeah those Catholic Boys…Ooooo boy! When they party drink the most and swear the most.
But they don’t make the MOST of the Bible…there’s a better insult than a ‘‘slap’’ to the devil Kneedragger,
The Bible says believers will walk on his ashes after his defeat…but they won’t teach that in Catholic School,
because it’s in the BIBLE.
zecarlo - Yeah, at parties with my best friends I am the center of the party. You may ask “What is the ultimate action at the celebration?” The limelight will shift between myself and friends.
Big Kahuna - As I grow in maturity with my friends, the parties have shifted over time. I have yet to get all of my best friends together and party with all of them. Some of my German/Irish friends getting seriously intoxicated; others my age, rarely drink. As for the differences, age is the only variable.
Actually the above post ^ addresses your query quite well ; ) In reality I laugh at him as he tries to make me stumble. Sure I fail at times, yet as fallen creatures who doesn’t stumble? I pick myself up and try again.
The [i]BEST PART[/i] about the battle with the devil? Victory is already guaranteed, without question. Imagine going into battle knowing who will be the ultimate victor will be. Sign me the hell up for that shiznit!
I LOVE this guy. He IS brilliant. If the unthinkable were ever to happen and I were to be converted to Catholicism, I’d beg him to disciple me. His home office is about 15 minutes from where I’m typing this right now. I have been trying to get him to meet with me for almost a year. His secretary (whose name is Simon) is not very nice to me despite my being absolutely respectful and complimentary of Voris AND him actually. He told me:[quote]“If you are not a member of the Catholic Church, you do not truly love Christ. It is that simple.” [/quote] I copied and pasted that out of one of his emails to me just now. OUTSTANDING!!! I expected nothing less from an associate of Voris.
I also briefly corresponded with Voris himself. He will neither accept nor reject my desire to meet him. I wish he were Pope instead of this post modern twinkle toes you folks are laboring under now. Must be tearin Voris apart.
I’m pretty sure I don’t count. My mother is one of the few who is not a catholic by result of a choice.
See, great grandmother wanted to marry a protestant. They wouldn’t marry her in church.
On her deathbed, they offered to bury her in the catholic church. She is said to have utter the words:
“They wouldn’t marry me, and I’ll be damned if they’ll bury me”
On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the jews and the protestants won’t have me. One of my ancestors is rumoured to have seen which way the wind was blowing and joined god’s happy almighty army of wage slaves.
Then we fucked that up royally by becoming atheists.
In spite of that, I’m convinced christ was a pretty cool guy.
What?

You could always just piss everybody off, Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Atheists alike, by becoming a Muslim. They’d be happy to have you, and they think Christ was a pretty cool guy too.
Might have to give up the lager and black pudding, though.
I don’t think that holds a candle to pissing Muslims off by Muslims converting to Christianity,
because the very people who think he’s ‘‘pretty cool’’ will put you in great danger in most of the
Muslim world if word gets out you went to the dark side…Luke…
Yeah, well, every religion has killed its heretics and apostates at some time or another. The Jews wanted to kill Jesus for blasphemy and heresy. The Hindus have killed plenty of Buddhists and Muslims for defying their polytheistic beliefs. And of course the Catholics and Protestants have been going at each other for centuries.
Yes, the penalty for apostasy in the Qur’an is death, as specified in the following ayats:
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from Allah.
That whoever would not seek Allah should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
I’m kidding. That’s not really the Qur’an. It’s Deuteronomy and 2nd Corinthians.
That’s too complex to take that at face value 3 or 4000 years ago…however I sure hope that historical context never dies in the distant
future in the year 5013 when writings will say an Ancient, mostly ‘‘Christian’’ Country at the time killed Germans and Japanese
and not be seen as an ‘‘evil’’ Country because somehow they never got the WHOLE story or got the context out of whack…we’ll be dust by then anyway, let the robots deal with that one…heh.

Ha Ha Ha. Nice. And there’s a certain segment of society that takes that book 100% literally. Wow.
