more anticatholic mumbo jumbo making the Pope the same as God

Thanks for the video, and for linking to my blog! :)

It's sure nice to know that more people are reading that couple o' posts.

@flyingblackboard Thanks for the articles :) You have a very nice blog and even information on the Gallican Rites. Just curious, how much do you know about the various Rites and is Latin a necessity when studying this material?

[flyingblackboard]

@BeingBob You're welcome!

As for the Rites, let's just say that I'm still in the process of learning about many of them - there is still much that I'm not familiar of and would like to know more about. And yes, you do need to know Latin when studying the Western Rites, because a good deal of information are written in that language. Unfortunately for me, I only have a tiny smattering of Latin (mostly self-taught) and thus have to plod through them bit-by-bit. ;)

Good one.

There is a book called "Bartlet's Quotations" It's been around for 50 odd years or so and I thought perhaps through some error of transliteration etc that is where the name came from (I'm a librarian by trade). I suspect who ever made up that reference thought 'Barclay' was close enough and it's English besides. Unfortunately Barclay is the name of a British bank. Huge difference. Sadly for them Catholics read.

shh. don't tell them that we can read. Boettners Roman Catholicism has a quote by a presby prof "Catholicism is a refuge for the lazy thinker. The man who wants to be told the answers to everything, to be treated like a child..."

So we can garner from that that they assume that we are stupid. It's better that way.

The references are a little different on some cites but say basically the same. I have seen the cites you are referring to. Bottomline is that the book nor the quote exist. It is dishonest and irresponsible to use such as a quote. GBU

You're right. I just figured that they're getting this from some anti-catholic end times book and hope that eventually one of them will actually take the time to investigate if the garbage in those books is actually true. So far there's no sign of life, but you never know when you will come across someone honest enough to look at it. Peace. God bless.
