    Ferrari's Ecclesiastical Dictionary

    Hi, Does anyone have any information on this book? Does it carry a proper imprimatur? I have seen 'quotes' from it that I am very suspicious of but I can't find any reference to it on Catholic sites (but tons on anti-Catholic screeds). Thanks, Eric

    Some help please!

    Thank you. I was trying to find something to use to respond to someone on another forum who was engaged in a bit of Catholic bashing. I guess it was a bit foolish to try to find a pat answer to something like the Eucharist or Salvation. It's just a bit much to expect someone to read through a...

    Malachi Martin

    Hi, Anyone have any opinions on Martin? I read most of his stuff before I realized that he wasn't very well regarded by a lot of Catholics. His novelization of David's life was great. Eric

    Help from LDS Members

    Just posting to say that I am working through as much of the material you provided as possible. It's a lot of text to go through. Thanks to everyone that suggested a link (askgramps is a hoot). Eric

    Delinquent hello

    Hi, I guess I should have done this when I first joined the forums, but - Hello! I'm enjoying the general lack of anger and rancor on the forums here. If I can just figure out what the heck Frubuls are I'll be fine. So, a quick thanks to the mods for helping to maintain such a great site and...

    Some help please!

    My fault entirely. Sorry for the confusion. Eric

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    Madhatter, So it seems that my earlier assessment is true. You are not actually looking for the opinions of others for any purpose other than to provide you with a jumping off place for rebuttals, refutations and proselytizing. Am I missing the mark here? Eric

    Infallibility of the Pope

    I believe that everything that Scott posted is correct, but to be concise and quick, I believe that the Pope is only infallible in matters of Doctrine and Dogma. Hope that helps! Eric

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    Madhatter, The primary reason most Christians don't believe in the sanctity of the Book of Mormon is that they know nothing about it. I assume that I am like most Christians in that I would need to read the Book of Mormon and become at least somewhat knowledgeable about it to gain any serious...

    Can the Pope send to hell to somebody?

    Female11, Just to clarify, were you asking for the Catholic perspective on this? Thanks, Eric

    Who Was Charles Taze Russell?

    Excuse my ignorance, but could you explain the significance of 1914 and Jesus' inspection? I'm completely in the dark here (no spiritual pun intended). Thanks, Eric

    Gethsemane- a rally cry for Christians

    I just noticed that the title of the OP is now Banned. In the 1/2 hour since his last post and my post he was banned? Wow, that's quick action. Is it inappropriate to ask what caused the banning? Eric

    Gethsemane- a rally cry for Christians

    I'm not trying to be rude to the OP but I guess I'm not trying too hard to avoid it either. Do you write in the manner that you do to appear more mysterious? More erudite? More in fashion with how you think a prophet or servant of God should sound? If you objective is to get across a given...

    Secular hatred on the rise?

    Has anyone noticed an increase in the harshness of tone going so far as vitriol in some secular groups? I was watching the CNN show about religions (God's Warriors?) last night and there was a group in San Francisco that were staging a protest against a group of Christians that were holding a...

    Should the State Sanction Marriage?

    So, you believe that the government should be involved actively in the support of what society views as a common good? I believe in a much more limited government than that, but I appreciate your input and respect your opinion! Eric

    Should the State Sanction Marriage?

    I don't think that the majority would have a problem recognizing that in a particular circumstance the word 'marriage' is part of a specific nomenclature and means a specific type of spiritual binding. Yes, the word can and will be used by some interchangebly with civil unions but my basic...
