WTF? Pope about to resign?!

[Ben Kenobi]

Even if you tried to be a Catholic, your misdeeds would undo you every time.

That's what confession is for, no?

You can lie to the Church. But God will bite your heart and spit it out.

What have I lied to the Church about?

[Ben Kenobi]

Right above you, you freak.

Which post?

[DaShi]

That's what confession is for, no?

Only for Catholics.

What have I lied to the Church about?

Your beliefs and intentions. You do not behave as a Catholic. You were not born as a Catholic. You are barely recognizable as human. In a more enlightened society you'd be hunted down and used as fertilizer for marijuana.

[DaShi]

Which post?

All of your posts demonstrate that you are not a Catholic. But that you claim that a picture of the pope makes you Catholic is offensive to real Catholics. You should apologize.

[Ben Kenobi]

Only for Catholics.

Which begs the question...

Your beliefs and intentions. You do not behave as a Catholic.

Ok. Explain to me how you believe a Catholic ought to act.

You were not born as a Catholic.

Not an impediment for those baptised in the Anglican Church.

And, for bonus points, I converted before the personal ordinariate was established so I'm just plain ol' Latin Rite.

All of your posts demonstrate that you are not a Catholic.

You'll have to show how they violate the teachings of the Church.

Now you think you can order me? I was born Catholic. You should be licking my heels.

Do you oppose gay marriage and abortion?

[DaShi]

You dare question me?

Benedict has written about what one must do to become a Catholic, and what rules one must follow to remain one in good standing with the Church. As has the catechism.

Oh so you've interpreted something Benedict wrote to mean that you are a good Catholic. THat's nice.

[DaShi]

According to Ben, idolatry is in keeping with having a good standing in the Church.

[Ben Kenobi]

You dare question me?

Yes, yes, I do. Do you support gay marriage and abortion?

[Ben Kenobi]

idolatry is in keeping with having a good standing in the Church.

Well, then, quote the statement I made that you consider idolatry.

[DaShi]

Appealing to your avatar as an authority.

Again, I've already cited it in the thread. According to Benedict. the fact that I was baptized an Anglican is not an impediment to me becoming Catholic or getting Confirmed in the Catholic Church.
