Christmas in Tongues - Father Bob's Christmas Eve

[sukka113]

this is a mockery of the holy mass. Father Bob should be excomunicated for liturgical abuses.

[verticalsmurf]

@sukka113 - Maybe they Roman Catholic Church needs to grow young. We are a multi-cultural society. What better way to increase harmony than to welcome each other into our places of worship? We don't want separation and a 'my God is better than yours' mentallity. Every religeon preaches love and respect for others, what better way than this? If we embrace each other we stop fighting each other. Anyway, when it comes down to it, we may pray differently but it is still to the same God.

The carpet is disgusting.

Bob Maguire is just as confused about the Bible as Bob Brown!

[AlphaCatholic]

Call me when Fr. Bob is invited to a Mosque and sings Anima Christi

[gostav0]

is this a Roman Catholic Church or an Anglican Church? It's nice to see people of different faith come together to pray but I dont think it was appropriate for a Muslim to chant the Azan or the Muslim call of prayer inside the church. I have no problem with the Allahuakbar ... , its the part where it says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the only messenger of God" that I have a problem with. We have our differences and we should be sensitive of these differences.

[slayerfuck]

Who gives a fuck?

[gostav0]

who gives a fuck? people who are not ignorant of what is going on. ignorant people doesn't give a fuck because they don't know the difference.

[catholichotie]

Yes its an abomination next we will embarace witchcraft and idol worship one thing after another I have witnessed this in catholic churches and christian creeping in slowly a church in brisbane had budda idol on the altar Catholics Brothers Wake Up and know I am not a conservative but we must put our Lord First and not commune with the devil and God

[AnonShawi]

Keep telling yourself that, it's probably the only thing that keeps you believin ;)

Anyway, merry christmas!

[AnonShawi]

Christmas is a tradition, it's very much part of the culture where I'm from (north america)

Coca cola even invented santa claus based on st-nicolas and you christians seem to have pretty much accepted it.

Also whats up with the easter bunny? Any link with jesus's resurrection?

[AnonShawi]

You know what? You are right, at least you seem to know about your beliefs, unlike many christians. I still disagree but I respect that ;)

[XSC3]

@SwordofManticorE Santa is not pagan. St. Nicholas punched Arius in the face (he was that passionate against heresy). nobody worships the easter bunny (and nobody can explain what ancient "pagan" source he comes from anyway). halloween is no more or less pagan than any of those other holidays. they're harmless for anyone with mature faith. non-believers get the day off too, who knows maybe something will rub off?

[XSC3]

@AnonShawi actually the coke story is false. father christmas/etc is much older. sure santa is a combination of legendary figures, but St. nicholas was quite historical, and the main reason why Christians kept him along. bunnies reproduce so they're a symbol of new life, like eggs. sure there's a legend about mary magdalene turning an egg red by a miracle, but whatever you like. nobody worships rabbits or chocolate

[evergrim]

Father Bob shows the good side of the church. The principles of humility and charity are exempified through him.

[arqdiaz]

great, preach with example.I'm glad to find this online.

[gte037p]

Translation of heresy in this Catholic Church sung by a Sheikh Isa. "I witness there is no God but Allah, I witness there is no God but Allah, I witness that Muhammad is his messenger, I witness that Muhammad is his messenger."

This is the consistent battle cry of Islamic terrorists.

[mattleroi]

Allah is arabic for God. Christians in Syria call God Allah. Muslims believe that Muhammed was his messenger. I don't see the problem. Just because some coward terrorists misuse it doesn't mean it is wrong.

[rockysjewel]

I sooooo agree this is very sad and I would have gotten up and left. It is propaganda only. The Muslim is ONLY trying to convert people to Islam that is his ONLY purpose for being there. It is NOT unity that is a lie. He would NEVER EVER allow you in his church to preach about Jesus

[evergrim]

Maybe he wouldn't allow that. Does that make it right? We all know that the Muslim people are being persecuted worldwide at the moment. Lack of understanding leads to fear. Maybe just for the child sitting there with their father, when they grow up, they will not have to do a double take when they see a Muslim. Isn't that worth it?

My great fear is that in the future the Muslim persecution won't look so much different from that of the Jews before them. It's not too late to open your mind.

[Pachangs]

Jesus> Father Bob> Squirrels > Dawkins

[furryredpants]
