And most corporate employees don't pay their own income taxes directly either, their employers, the corporations do, when they withhold taxes from paychecks, then they pay the government on behalf of the employees.

Is that in the Catechism or is it canon law or something? My priest said that he knew of some parishes who baked their own bread for the host, but didn't mention anything about how it had to be just wheat flour and water. He said it didn't even have to be unleavened. Perhaps he was leading us...

God gave the Apostles the authority to give the bishops the authority to impose a celibacy requirement upon future priests and bishops. Their duty is to preserve and transmit the teachings of the Apostles, and to administrate the Church's institutions, that were established by Christ and by the...

I don't know of any restriction on what the host can be. As long as it can be called bread, which I believe just means, made with a flour from a grain, and baked. So, Oreos, Cheezit, Triscuit, they could be the host. It's the consecration that's sacramental, not the particular type of 'bread'.

Yes the American South had an economy that to many planters was largely based on slavery, they were unique among what are now known as developed countries. And along with slavery, racism still exists today as well, in many countries, but not in the US. And what I mean by that, is that we don't...

The popes all effectively constantly speak what's in the Catechism though, and the Catechism is not ambiguous on the gravity of procured abortions, and Pope Francis hasn't changed or attempted to change what's in there on the matter either.

Work that He does as we come to Mass, and licitly receive and ingest His only begotten Son's body, blood, soul and divinity, in the Eucharist. Come to Mass.

So in your personal experience, your method or argument has worked? You've converted people to your view on the matter? Are you invoking the video because it converted someone you know personally? There are so many other human rights that are not applicable to the fetus, mainly because in...

Died a hero though. For sure.

Does that work on real people? I understand this is your answer to my hypothetical questions, but have you given that answer to people who don't already think that abortion should be tightly restricted or banned? Are people persuaded by this reasoning?

Associating with known felons, and not then eventually winding up getting hooked into violent crime ourselves somehow. Wait wait, white people don't have that privilege either, because nobody has that privilege.

I believe indiscriminate abortion is grave matter because I believe in the teaching authority of the Apostles. It's my Christian faith that compels me to believe it is serious sin. How can you convince someone who believes that the fetus doesn't have any rights until he or she is born? "There...

Like the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Now imagine if you also eat and drink Whom you worship. Come to Mass.

I made my point and proved it with scriptures. I never said that he didn't also laud marriage. I ignored your entire post because it didn't address my point, which has been shown to be true: Paul lauded celibacy. You all are acting like celibacy is demonic in origin, it's ridiculous.

My post stands: Paul lauded celibacy.

You still do not know what child rapists are. They aren't 'animals' or 'predators' and they don't rape children because they have no wife. No animals or predators do what child rapists do, and no one who is not a child rapist rapes kids, whether they are married or not, homosexual or not...

Glass houses. He's not and neither is Catholicism "pro" homo-genital relations.

It's violent crime.

That happens at Mass. Mass is a prayer. Come to Mass.
