Scripture and the Pope: Part 4
2008-05-15 19:48:00 Here is Part 4 in my debate with Amy on papal infallibility as it is found in Scripture. Also see Parts 1, 2, and 3.Pax Christi,phatcatholic- - - - - - - - - -Somewhere between ?Pope? and utter nonsense, is my view of name changes in the Bible. Jesus does not deliver the name change at this point, only makes reference to it. As if he said, ?Peter, just like your name means Rock, upon the Rock of what you just said (You are the Son of God) I will build my kingdom.? Kind of like, ?Amy (cute girl in the profile pic), Just like your name means beloved, so this smart, Phatcatholic guy loves you.?I disagree with you here and I think I can prove why, but I also don't think it's necessary. We may be going on a tangent in debating what or who "this rock" is. My understanding is that the identity of the rock confirms Peter's primacy among the apostles and the unique leadership position that Jesus gave to Peter. But, we're not debating that. Instead, we are debating whether or not Peter (a...

News : Pope goes digital to better connect with youth
2008-05-07 17:43:00 SYDNEY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict will text message thousands of young Catholics on their mobile phones during World Youth Day in Sydney in July, hoping going digital will help him connect better with a younger audience. The Pope will text daily messages of inspiration and hope during the six-day Sydney event while digital prayer walls will be erected at event sites and the church will set up a Catholic social networking Web site akin to a Catholic Facebook. The Catholic Church said it decided to use technology to connect to the estimated 225,000 young Catholics expected to attend the World Youth Day (WYD) celebrations that start on July 15. "We wanted to make WYD08 a unique experience by using new ways to connect with today's tech-savvy youth," Bishop Anthony Fisher said in a statement on Wednesday. Australian telecoms firm Telstra will provide voice, data, mobile, broadband and broadcast services for the event, as well as erect digital prayer walls at event...

I try to be as concise as possible, but sometimes you just have to write a lot in order to defend a position, and I'm okay with that.Some of your post matches up with what I have learned my entire life in studying the Bible.Some things you have written, I hold as truth, the first of them being that,?All things pale in comparison to Jesus.?Second, I also agree with your view that people?s names hold great importance.Good to know.Thirdly, your point on keys and authority pointing back to the Davidic kingdom ("Among these was a ...

I have been praying for you and the cute girl in your profile pic.Thank you!! That means a great deal to me. We certainly need your prayers. You'll be happy to know that my fiancee's name is Amy too!...to the fact that we are both Switchfoot fans, there can be no debate on this.Great!Again we have a point where no contention can be made: The Bible is authoritative because it has been inspired by God (God-breathed).

Scripture and the Pope: Part 1
2008-04-30 19:19:00 What follows is Part 1 in what I think will be a very fruitful dialogue with Amy, who owns a blog called "The Way I Say." I happened upon her blog because I was looking for a poem about redemption for a presentation on that topic and she just happened to have exactly what I needed. Since then she has made some very helpful comments on my blog and I look forward to our dialogue together.That said, here is her first post to me:First of all, do you like switchfoot, because that is a most important matter to clear up?Do you give as much authority to the Pope's words as you do to scripture?I definitely like Switchfoot! I hope that's ok :DAs for your second question, I don't want to give a simple "Yes" or "No" answer because I'm afraid it might imply things I don't intend. I will say that, when the pope speaks as the Successor of St. Peter, in his role of feeding and tending God's people, on a matter of faith and morals that is to be binding on the whole Church, then his words requi...
Pope’s US Visit. Is US to blame for abuse crisis?
2008-04-30 03:21:00 The headlines are going up: Pope blames US for abuse crisis. Of course, we shall need to see whether his statements exact-ly reflect the headlines. (-See BBC News reference below, Pope attacks US sex abuse record) If they are accurate, it may appear as a type of papal and Roman Catholic hierarchy self-absolution? Surely, the responsibility needs to be taken as a whole by the ‘Captain’. There can be no blame shifting, as decent Roman Catholics themselves have attested, when they were ready to buck an incredibly powerful heirarchy in a courageous coming out against sexual abuse within their church. A Suggestive Historical Counter-factual Let us alter the scenario. Suppose this: that, decades ago, a Pope had said: We are getting shocking reports of sexual abuse. We shall move against this iniquity with the utmost urgency and thoroughness and compassionate professionalism - compassionate, above all, for the survivors of this great and abominable abuse. It ...

But for the Grace of an Old, Army Jeep
2008-04-24 23:40:00 A few Sundays ago I had the opportunity to take our new car out for a spin. As I accelerated down one of the main highways just outside of town, I felt good, happy actually, and I hadn?t felt that way in a while. With a cup of steamy 7-11 Coffee in my hand and some jazz playing on the car stereo, I hastened past a crude, cardboard sign which simply read ?Car Show.? An arrow drawn in magic marker led the way. I thought to myself that this would be a good place to take the kids later on in the morning. My wife wasn?t feeling well and I felt that the little ones shouldn't hang around the house and waste the day. Then, I caught a peek at some of the cars pulling in the lot where the event was to take place. Funky notes from the tune ?Sponge? by Randy Brecker got my foot tapping and I sped on past the ancient, re-born vehicles filing into the car show?s venue which was a church parking lot. My new Malibu ran smoothly, quiet, and I savored my artificial world crafted by General Motors an...

2008-04-22 16:11:00 They both drive around in armored automobiles and both live in big estates. I do think 50 cent egdes him in the security department. Pope Benedict XVI was in New York City this past weekend promoting peace,prosperity and telling other priest to lay off our children. He actually arrived on Friday morning and visited several sites. I hear he took in a New Jersey Net game with Jay-Z and B. It is funny how all our sinful politicians bowed down to him. By Sunday morning he was at Yankee Stadium where he was booed and hit with a bottle in the face ala KRS-One. They did provide a treat for the first 100 boys under the age of 14 at the gate, they all got a fondling. Was it me or was this guy on every channel meng.

Pope Benedict Solves Mystery of Pedophile Priests... Sort of
2008-04-22 12:22:00 by Robert Weitzel For twenty-four years the archconservative, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith—formerly the Holy Office of the Inquisition. As the Vatican’s doctrinal watchdog, he earned the monikers, “God’s Rottweiler” and “panzer cardinal.” It was his job to enforce doctrinal purity, both within the clerical rank and the rank and file . . . a task he performed with an apostolic zeal bordering on mania. In 2002, when the scope of the pedophile priest scandal in the United States was becoming too obvious for even the Vatican to continue to ignore, Rottweiler Ratzinger claimed that the sexual abuse allegations against Catholic clergy were part of a "planned campaign" that was "intentional [and] manipulated" to discredit the church. Whose campaign he didn’t say, but his short list probably included the pro-choice and gay rights lobbies. On April 19, 2005, in an arcane rite of “transubstant...
Pope Benedict XVI
2008-04-21 20:49:00 The Pope's visit was a great success in my mind. He came with a purpose and did not hold any punches at the diplorable actions of the US Cardinals in the debacle of perverted priests. And he did not hold any punches on the UN for their ineffectiveness on places such as Sudan, Iraq, and othe hot spots ithe world. But he also came to promote the respect of human kind allove the world. He even made some jabs at the US about the toture of prisoners. Bus all in all, his visit was bright spot in a world of violence. He came to promote peace. He was also the first Pope t visit a Synagogue in the United States.

Pope Pope Benedict XVI visit- Sorry I missed most of it.
2008-04-21 16:19:00 I didn't get to see too much of Benedict's visit because of the Army, but he seems to have made a good impression. I'm glad that he addressed the pedophile crisis, although I wish he would have made enabler Cardinal Mahoney walk around his unspectacular church on his knees. A friend of mine wanted to know why the Pope isn't asking Mahoney to release some documents related to the abuse scandal. I wish I could ask him. I'm sorry- this thing will be a problem for many years. The Pope praised freedom of religion in general and America as an example of a nation that has guaranteed people the ability to practice their faith. I'm reading a very long history of the Catholic Church, but I'm only up to David in the Old Testament. Now, I don't think that the Church has always encouraged freedom on religion when it was in a position to limit it. I'll try to find out an explanation for this seeming contradiction.Powered by b2evolution.

Pope Benedict XVI In Yankees Stadium - CNN TV and CNN.com
2008-04-20 21:59:00 Ok, I'm watching Pope Benedict XVI hold mass in Yankees Stadium before 57,000 people and I'm glad I'm seeing it, because I was going to change the channel at first. I was about to do that because I wasn't interested in it, but then I was overcome by the fact that I'd not been to Church in a few weeks -- escaping some negative energy at Glide Memorial in SF -- and needed to see a religious event. Plus, it's American Culture, or a part of it, and history. What's interesting is that so many people still turn out to see his holliness, which is a good thing, and a God thing too.

Pope Benedict XVI Prays For Peace At Ground Zero
2008-04-20 21:16:00 When is the last time you read about Ground Zero in the news? I haven't seen articles on it - or even the progress of construction there - in a long time. On the last day of his stay in America, Pope Benedict XVI visited the site of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack at 9:15 am today, asking God to bless those who suffered death, injury and loss and asked for peace to be brought to our violent world. Twenty-four people affected by the September 11th, 2001 attacks came with the Pope and hundreds of others gathered around just beyond police barricades, Catholics and non-Catholic's alike, hoping to see the Pope in person.

David Paterson, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.He was joined by 24 people he had invited to join him, including family members of people killed in the terrorist attacks and rescue workers who survived the attacks."We ask you, in your compassion, to bring healing to those who, because of their presence here that day, suffer from injuries and illness," he said.
