Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral
Thank you. As for sarcastic comments -

Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral
Yes Tracy, I'm sure you're right :wink:
Except that there has been no 'victory' as you put it. I was pm'd by someone who felt that other members might not be enjoying the debate so I chose to disengage - that is all. :wink:
Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral
Oh dear, what an angry person you are Tracy.
Gautama said that "you aren't punished for your anger, you are punished by your anger" so I will leave your situation with you.
It is fairly obvious, Tracy, that when one mentions...

Tracy, please, please don't make up history for your own cause. :|
Priscilian was a Christian and Catholic. True, the western church was trying to root out diverse and divergent beliefs but they were all Christians and as they...
Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral
Absolutely - non-sequiturs ain't in it - and, of course tea-total! not tee-total (that would be a compulsive golfer).
I really love it too as the threads usually swing back round again.
John Wesley - now there is man I would have...
Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral
Rather fond of poor Priscilian but was he so different from Manichaean beliefs - yes, a Catholic but different with that leaning. Two Bishops who were followers of his teachings were denounced by Rome for 'Manachaeism' - so far in...
"One wonders what the simple man of Galilee might have made of all of this!"
I'm afraid that, according to Roman Catholic rules on the necessity of being in full communion with the church, were they to go to Mass neither He nor his Mother would be allowed to receive the sacrament ..... :shock...
This is a good thread, informative, pleasant - a good thread.
It is good that you have explained so clearly the position of the Catholic Church regarding receiving the sacrament at Mass, both for Catholics not in full communion and for Christians of other churches (and non-Christians too I...
I certainly don't want to offend anyone - was just stating my personal point of view.
Holy See site doesn't have an avenue for emailing - ah well. Research shows ..
As we know, officially it is a 'no' to receive the sacrament at an RC church if not in full communion but there is a...
Yes, of course, it is only my point of view and it is clear what the Roman church desires of its members - we know this - but none of it was ordained by either God or Jesus. The disciples were not 'ordained' priests they were men and women who followed Jesus. Jesus spoke directly to them "do...
Your backpack is too light if after two weeks people won't stand closer than 10 feet to you as you haven't washed (no towel or soap), nor changed your underwear in that time. :wink:
Careful with the graven images :lol: 'that Fox' is what Jesus called Herod :wink:
Must be my age and tv when I was a child but with that name I keep thinking of 'the mark of Zorro' .
hhmm .. Perhaps a Fox with a shell in it's mouth?
What a pleasant and informative thread this is. My previous (RC) priest, before I moved away, once said that he and all priests kept a secret from their parishioners - that if they mentioned it it may put them out of work.
The 'secret' was that taking the sacrament had the same forgiveness...
