CATHOLICISM CHRISTIANIZES THE WORLD, WHILST «PROTESTANTISM» DECHRISTIANIZES IT, AND ORIENTAL SCHISMATICISM FESTERS IN HERMITAGES.

CATHOLICISM CHRISTIANIZES THE WORLD, WHILST «PROTESTANTISM» DECHRISTIANIZES IT, AND ORIENTAL SCHISMATICISM FESTERS IN HERMITAGES.

>2/2 To my knowledge repetition during the rosary prayer is common. 6:7 goes against repetition, and the reasoning makes sense to me.

JESUSCHRIST CONDEMNS VACUOUS FORMULISM, NOT EMPHASIS, NOR REITERATION.


>Matthew 6:6
>But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

THIS VERSICLE REGARDS CONCENTRATION, AND INTENT, DURING PRAYER —DO YOU HAVE AN ARGUMENT?


>I don't think Christ likes a central authority doing the interpretations for you, nor teaching, but he welcomes helping each other out.

...


>Catholics pray and worship via statues and imagery.... the woman who birthed Christ but Christ never taught to pray to the woman that birthed him, prayer to my knowledge is strictly to our Father in heaven.

1. IMAGES, AND FIGURES, ARE CONDUCIVE TOWARD GREATER DEVOTION; IMAGERY IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO IDOLATRY; FAITH IS EXALTED VIA THE SENSES AS WELL AS VIA THE INTELLECT, AND VIA SENTIMENT.

2. THE SAINTS, AND THE MOTHER OF GOD, ARE INTERCESSORS, AND THEY ARE REVERED AS SUCH.


>12:46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

JESUSCHRIST IS MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN FAMILIAL TIES, AND ECCLESIAL TIES, AND MAKING THE ARGUMENT THAT THE LATTER TRANSCEND & SUPERORDINATE THE FORMER.


>Blood =/ automatic worship

?


YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW MISCOMPREHENSION OF DOCTRINE LEADS TO HERESY.

>"Faith" is a terrible epistemic stance, because it does not allow doubt, change...


NO.

FAITH DOES ALLOW FOR DOUBT, AND FOR CHANGE, SINCE IT DOES NOT NEGATE, NOR EXCLUDE, REASON, AND WILL, BUT, RATHER, IT COMPLEMENTS THEM.

THE REST OF YOUR COMMENT IS UNIMPORTANT & EXPENDABLE, SINCE YOUR OPENING PREMISE IS INVALID.

ATHEISTS VAUNT THEMSELVES AS «FREE», AS «SCIENTIFIC» —WHAT FREEDOM CAN HAVE THOSE WHO RENEGE OF GOD? WHAT SCIENCE CAN HAVE THOSE WHO ARE NESCIENT?
