From your own point of view. I do not get accused of being abusive towards others, by people on forums. Do you think perhaps you get reamed because of some of the ridiculous pov's you have? No, I think people are just rude & arrogant. |

If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church that is accused of being behind the times, as our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusions of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly it is other worldly. since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divinest What church are you referring too, the Westboro Baptist Church? Is that where your membership resides? Lmfao. I responded to him when he posted that quote before. It really makes no sense to be honest because all that it's implying is that we should join something that's hated and rejected just for the sake of being hated and rejected, and that could technically be anything not even Christ-related as long as it's hated. That quote was spoken from a Catholic Archbishop so it must be implying that the Catholic Church is the only true answer, but ironically the Catholic Church doesn't even fit that description. I just find it funny because the Catholic Church isn't exactly "hated and rejected by most", and definitely not "unpopular." If we are talking about Christianity in general than it's even more closer to the exact opposite of that description. So you make a good question. What Church is he really referring to then? |

Here are some poignant excerpts in the letter that Sister Claire received from her friend Anne, a resident of Hell: Are Catholics really so stupid to believe this bullshit for even an instant? Does the fear of Hell for non-existent crimes suffice to prevent them from seeing how stupid this is? Do they really need phony miracles like incorruptible corpses and Apparitions to believe? This is all mental illness and I respect it not at all. What do you know about what is, and what is not, a "non-existent crime?!?!" Who died, & made you the Supreme Judge?!?!  No, none of this is mental illness. Do you want to know what form mental illness is?!?! I'll tell you what a type?!?! Having a Narcissistic personality disorder. Now, there just cannot be anybody around here who is completely full of themselves, posting on this (& the old)message forum, can there...?!?!?!  Paranoia, anxiety, psychosis, and depression can also be mental illnesses, and unfortunately anyone who suffers from any of those illnesses can easily be triggered by those Catholic-related stories. The website on the Lady of Fatima's visions of hell to those kids apparently encouraged a "healthy fear", but in reality it strongly encourages those specific mental illnesses. We honestly have absolutely no idea those stories actually happened or not, and one of them even admits to being fiction, so to anyone who actually takes these stories seriously or literally would most likely have a mental illness themselves or just be so brainwashed or naive to what they are told it's not even funny. I honestly believe that these stories intentionally used to scare or even terrify people to do certain things within a religion is extremely cruel. I don't think of Catholicism as a cult at all but those example websites show that it can be used as one. |

You are just being ridiculous now. You have no logical or solid reasoning on the Catholic religious belief regarding this topic. Where did I say you have been bluntly rude or arrogant with me? I said it is in your passive tone that belies you. Those are the claims you are making about others. You are focusing on what is irrelevant, to avoid looking at the other substance you are being countered with due to fear of the belief you cling steadfastly to being dismantled and not worthy of truth.
Oh, and as an afterthought, this is your own sarcasm and hypocrisy regarding your point about attack:
The only reason for my own rude response to Dividavi, is BECAUSE of his own unnecessary rudeness towards RIP IMDB, as well as many other past rude & arrogant posts. If posters are going to resort to ad hominem attacks, they will only RECEIVE the same type of responses. If Dividavi (or even yourself, for that matter) doesn't believe in Hell, he should either a)voice his views on the subject without using verbal attacks, or b)just ignore RIP IMDB's topic altogether. If he hadn't responded to this, the chances are, this topic would have probably been ignored & just disappear into the subsequent pages of RFS. To be honest I didn't take his response as rude or as a verbal attack. He was really just addressing a serious issue in regards to how some people but also specifically some Catholics think. If someone was to believe in hell and the punishments of hell based on those types of stories than I agree with him and I don't find scare-tactic methods to be respectable either. I think his point was necessary regardless on how he addressed it. How I see the story of Annette is really just a story of a neglected and depressed girl and she responded in a way that mostly anyone suffering in life in that manner would. |
