Bill, I'm sorry, but you seem to have come down with a terrible case of selective reading, because we have time and again, using the words of the...
Jackie.... Jackie.... you have said exactly what is on my heart. I'm going to write about this on my blog. "Unless you become like a child, you...
Forgive me, how does my statement contradict the Catechism when it is a direct copy of it? I stated that there was the religious aspect and also...
I agree, Crewdog. The over-emphasis on prophecy being "approved" has neutered the Church's ability (and obligation) to discern the prophetic...
Bill, please read my posts in entirety, especially the one regarding millenarianism. Because there, it is explained how this heresy has...
But it is the stuff of Our Lady's messages to the world. At this moment, I can't find the approved message(s) to Fr. Gobbi in this regard...
Since we began debating Emmett, and as has been pointed out to you by others, your equating millenarianism to an "Era of peace" has been rejected...
Hi Bill, I've been answering Emmett piece by piece, so as you see above, I've answered that. Benedict's statement is a bit confusing in that it...
With great respect, this statement of Benedict is both true, but also confusing at face value. First, let me say that I hold no firm opinion as...
I'm sorry, but once again I see you making a magisterial declaration that the Church has definitively ruled that the "first resurrection" has been...
I want to concur with Peter that there is a significant difference in the hermeneutic being applied. You are essentially interpreting the "final...
Emmett, I will break up my response to you in bite size pieces so that, at the very least, you can be certain that you are being heard. This is a...
Of all the comments in this thread, this one left my jaw wide open. All I can say is go back and start reading from Page 11. The case for an Era...
If you read Jahenny's text again, you'll see the message is not condemning "storm chasers" but those who are trying to water it down, minimize it,...
Josephite, Crewdog... I absolutely agree with this. A few weeks ago, the words came to me in prayer, "damnable division". The divisions being sown...
Emmett, it's just one interpretation. The fact that it has been held, even by a majority of scholars, does not, therefore, make it dogma—not when...
Yes, I absolutely agree. He, and other pontiffs, have some key things to say on this coming of the Kingdom of God, and that is precisely what we...
Emmett, the essential affirmation is that there is going to be an Era of Peace. What the "first resurrection" means is still very much a mystery....
Yes, read that too—just as prescient. There is a reason the popes have been compelled to highlight these works...
Read it. Absolutely prophetic—a startling parallel to our times, and what we can see emerging even now through moral relativism: …the...
I think you've really nailed it on the head. Augustine's interpretation, the more it is scrutinized, creates the greatest amount of confusion. It...
Peter, as I prayed this morning, I was moved to summarize the debate on the Era of Peace thus far, and address the aspect of judgment before and...
I have some thoughts and a question on these passages, Peter. First, I believe the messages of Fr. Gobbi are divinely inspired and consistent...
ASSERTION: That there could be a "first resurrection" before the Final Judgment is contrary to the Church's teaching on a particular judgment...
Hi Emmett, I have answered this, at least in part. In fact, I too have raised several points which you have not responded to. Perhaps it will be...
Hello! If you are suggesting that God no longer speaks to the Church, which is what prophecy is, then your viewpoint is not a biblical nor...
Dear Ed, Warm greetings! Thank you for taking the time to elucidate your thoughts on this, which are actually extremely close to what I...
I think it's the way you framed it that is surprising, because it's really not what the text says. Plainly. Chronologically. It simply is a...
In keeping with the title of this thread, I would like to note one important statement in Luisa's writings that appears in The Gift of Living in...
I have a question for you Josephite. How can one side of the debate "obviously be in error" when The Teachings of the Catholic Church expressly...
