So following an error concerning ex cathedra he call the Pope a fool.
Nice going!

 Having said that, I

Plainly stated. Except for the 10,000 books trying to explain why 9,999
other books are wrong in what they perceive to be 'clear'.:-)
 Once God states it, that's it; and He

Causing 2000 years of argument division and strife.

All hail John XXIII ! The 60's and the final wonderful release of Catholic
scholars! (I narrowly escaped becoming a Catholic.)I treasure the Time I
spent at St. Basil's, in Toronto. (Basilian Seminary)

 True. Of you. And Lee. And Me.
(I'm giving it a tentative try in the new HOLYSMOKE)

Jeff, you might want to give it a go new rules, a quieter place...at least
for the nonce...
 
-> >LL>Hell will not be tolerated by God, as He will put an end to hell.

Here's a puzzle:
If time is but one of ten dimensions, and God transcends time, what is this
'He is GOING TO' business? 


 

-> JS>The issue was not even the nature of hell--

A fascinating subject: it is depicted charmingly in 12 of my favorite
religions...:-) 

; it was your false claim, Lee,
-> JS>that Jesus did not preach "Eternal Damnation", which He most
certainly did.

'Eternal' is a long time in Greek.

This intolerance is what has caused the deaths of millions.
'Of all the beliefs of mankind, past present and to come, MY belief is the
only one that gives life, and that more abundantly.
Many mansions? Or one way?

Bravo!
