Catholic church continues Ethnic cleansing in Ireland

[wordonfirevideo]

@Billyking1313 Friend, you'd be much closer to the truth if you said that Catholics were the victims of ethnic cleansing in the 19th century in Ireland. Tell me precisely which ethnic group you think the church his currently cleansing in Ireland.

@wordonfirevideo - Ne Temere! It is alive and well in Ireland. This Sunday past a document was handed out at the Catholic mass explaining to Catholics that in any mixed marriage that permission to marry would not be given unless the non Catholic spouse to be, signs the Ne Temere document - it is a statutory requirement in Ireland within the Catholic church thus slowly but surely increasing the Catholic population to the detriment of the other Churches in Ireland.

@Billyking1313 The Church requires that the Catholic party in a mixed marriage agree to do all in his or her power to raise the children Catholic and the spouse to be is asked to witness this oath. I don't see what you could possibly find objectionable in this. If someone doesn't want to do it, then they shouldn't get married in church.

The question what gifts does God give to any church may be rephrased what gifts did any church receive from God. and that in turn leads directly to: "what Fruit of the Spirit shows in anyt church?".

thus, there being essentially no fruit there is no gift received. I have no time for catholic bashing or singling out Rome for criticism, but the fact is ALL the churches, all of US , are so obscene that we are the best argument for atheism there is. this is not a valid one, but it is persuasive

@Strefanasha Come on, friend. That's a little strong. I mean, I agree with you that Catholics have done lots of bad things--see my videos on the sex abuse crisis--but you can't say that we've been abandoned by the Holy Spirit.

@Darthdickus1234 It's a symbol of the eucharist, dum-dum!

[aaron1983]

And yes that is rightly so. Children as a fruit of a Catholic marriage must be brought up to know and live the Catholic Faith!

I am Catholic and i participate in Catholic and Protestant worship services. WE are all brothers and sisters in Christ. WE only have one enemy and that is not 'each other'. That is satan.

I just love how Catholics are so humble. May we all be devoted to Christ.

God doesn't require a religion for salvation. God calls. It's all God's work. =D
