Reformation of the catholic church?

isnt ironic tho that the ppl that are against * the most, score the most, maybe if kenny miller was against * he wood score more

 

For a start, I'm Scottish...Not British

Why did he wanna burn synagoues?

And divorce is okay in certain circumstances like wife beatings ffs!

 

You would get an annulment if you beat your wife

 

Marriage is just a commerical event anyway.

 

Im pretty sure there is people out there that have been married for years that would disagree

 

What about in countries like Africa and South America where they're like sophisticated? Cause they don't have a ceremony doesn't mean they don't love each other. Lol, by the way St. Peter was a rabbit according to South Park

 

The problem is the education. most of the peeps in africa are not able to get educated, so they don't really know how to use a condom or how they can get aids etc. sounds silly, but if you have never seen a telly before, you might don't know how to turn it on/off.

Don't know about the situation in scotland, but in switzerland it kinda protects the weaker side just in case they get divorced. apart from that, you have to pay less taxes. it's about money as well, but these are money advantages for you (the couple).

 

marriage was originally a religious thing, coming together infront of * and having an endless union.
thats what it is supposed to be about, but too many people think its just a signed piece of paper and it means nothing to them.
nowadays it is far too easy to get a divorce, thats why so many people in this country live in single parent families. saying that , it might be better to be in a single parent family than getting abused by the father (that you can't get rid of).

 

Weddings are grossly commercial but marriages are not. I think it still means something. The difference with marriage is its a responsibility not just there for the fun. I also think its not wise to get married without living together for at least 2 years.

how can i be 'anti-prod'? if i am scottish episcopalian, i am not going to slag off the protestants. all churches do have their good points and bad points, so do all religions.
i have said nothing about presbyterians, in fact i questioned whether having a leader was correct. in that case, i agreed with the presbyterians and disagreed with the Roman Catholics.
the advance in ecumenism has helped all the churches. the church of scotland, church of england, baptist, methodist...etc, are all in the World Council of Churches and each denomination has their own ecumenical council. all these advances in the relationship between us are great and i hope it continues.

 

lol I am sorry. I quoted the wrong post. It wasnt meant to be yours. I will edit id out.

 

its ok lol you are forgiven my son...lol

 

lol Your take on Protestantism is straight out of the Torquemada spanish inquisition book of anti-prod dogma. There are good and bad things about all the churches. The main Scottish protestant branch Prsebyterianism (i.e. the church of Scotland) in fact has nothing to do with Henry VIII and his wives. Scotland was still a seperate country with its own monarch when protestantism was adopted. Presbyterianism is very democratic, less interested in wealth, their ministers are very good speakers and the devout presbyterians really live by the book. They have a lot less people going to church just as a habit and I find they think more deeply about their religion and certainly know their bible better. They have had dark periods but so has the Catholic church. Today the churches can happily live side by side and there is no point looking back at history and pointing the finger cause all the churches have periods of real disgrace. Today the mainstream churches have no role in the sectarianism IMO. In fact its the non-believers who are the ones who bang on about it most and are the bigots. If a person is a Christian of any type they should not have that sort of hate in them at all.

 

true about the non-believers being sectarian. never heard once, my old church of scotland minister that is was ok to deck a few fenians, or for my Roman Catholic priest saying it was acceptable to kill the orange scum. its the ordinary people who have never been in a church in their lives, that start the problems.

 

Amen!

 

i used to go to an ecumencial parish, in livingston called st pauls. was baptisted by a female scottish episcopalian priest. the congregation was made up of church of scotland, episcopalians (and other anglicans), methodists, united reformed church and the Roman Catholics used the same building for their morning Mass. we all mixed and their was no problem at all. everyone knew each other and we all got on great. not so long ago, we had an ecumencial service involving all the livingston churches including my Roman Catholic one, after it there was a gathering and all the Catholic priest went up and spoke to everyone. shows there is no problem inside the churches, its outside of it that is the problem.

 

agreed. religion isnt politics, u cant just change it to suit u. im not saying im the perfect catholic, far from it, everyone makes mistakes. bt u cant just change things. u just cant.

 

what about the papal infallibility doctrine? has no Scriptural foundations at all. just seems to me, to be a power enhancing tool.

 

Didn't Jesus say to Peter "what you bind/loose on earth will be bound/loosed in heaven." In other words, seems to me anyway, you, Peter, make the decisions and I, Jesus, will back them up.
