Politics All cancers were actually cured back in 1925 but the government has been covering up the evidence.

A friend of mine who worked for the state department was some appointed position over in the Vatican recently, I think it was something like secretary to the ambassador, something like that. Anyways, he quit, moved back to the NW and has refused to ever talk about any of it except to say he didn't realize how corrupt and depraved everything was, and that he will never talk for fear of his life. In one year there he gave up his lifelong dream, schooling, work towards politics. Sucks, he was stationed in the White House before and then Vatican City. I was looking forward to visiting him at one of those locations and getting the insiders tour. I still have a cousin in the military who sets up communication redundancies for the President at scouted locations and he lives/works in DC, so he can still give me an insiders look at the WH. It will be fascinating.

 

You've just killed them all

 

I've read the Bible cover to cover multiple times. I can't recall any mentions to cancer, maybe because the name wasn't around back then. There are cleansing procedures explained in the Bible, but definitely not cancer cures. No miracles from Jesus cured cancer either...I know the emails are just rubbish and scams, just want to clear the Bible of any misconception of containing the cure for cancer.

 

OK, look, I'm Jewish, I don't know Catholicism from the inside. And I am, honestly, not trying to be offensive to Catholics. But I wish someone would explain this to me.

I keep hearing Ms. Gingrich is such a devout Catholic. She had a 6-year affair with a married man. Wouldn't that be considered a sin? And since there is no evidence she became pregnant during that time, presumably using birth control; something I personally favor (as do most Catholics) but against Catholic doctrine. So did she go to Confession and conveniently not tell the priest? Or did she confess, receive absolution, and the next day go back to screwing a married man? Did she avoid Confession for 6 years? I believe that would prevent her from receiving Holy Communion, is that not correct?

So what am I missing? How can a person who either lies in Confession, or keeps committing the same sin, or never goes to Confession or receives Communion, and commits one of the seven deadly sins over and over for 6 years be called a devout Catholic? Because she opposes marriage equality and legal abortion?

Mormon girls are the biggest hoochies. My highschool friend married one and has been cheating with her sister for over 20 years now.

 

Stereotypes are fun. Watch Master of None season 2 people. It isn't often hilarious but it is really really good.

 

Isn't the best part about Catholicism that you can do whatever you want and as long as you confess and do a few Hail Mary's you're good to go?

 

I'm not Catholic, but biblical church principals would/should still apply. If the church was applying correct "church discipline" this situation would not be happening. These days though the ball is being dropped by both the church leadership and the congregation. Church leadership doesn't apply or simple doesn't enforce church discipline and usually because church members don't want to receive church discipline or be subject to it. So everyone is just playing church. And of course I don't mean to make a sweeping statement of all churches, but this is a huge problem in the church today.

 

That would require a lot of reading, and actual believers don't even get through the "suggested" reading..haha

 

Nate misquoted me, not that I am surprised. I said I did not know Catholicism from the inside, not "I don't know anything about Catholicism".

 

History says that Roman Catholicism was severely corrupt. There was a reform in the 1500s because of how corrupt the Church and Popes had become... That's what I know about the Catholic Church.

 

History says most religions are.

History tells me that those that have not been exposed as corrupt likely still are but have done better at keeping the corruption silent.

 

ftfy stands for "fixed that for you", it's a way of saying "this is more accurate".

 

To be even more clear, it's a form of sarcastic joke...
