    Well it wasn't on purpose. I think you are looking into something that isn't there. You should know, by now, that I don't try to diguise my feelings, and if I want to say something, I say it. I'm sorry idf there is confusion.

    Let's move on.

    The reason I am asking this, is because it seems like you believe the pope will recieve word from God the miniute that Theresa becomes a saint. (I know I over-simplify, but that's the crux of what I am asking)

    Basically, will the RCC someday be offering her prayer ?

    Is that the case ?

    I caught you in a lie, and I'm wrong? You're still a blatant liar, though. You're "whatever" response doesn't absolve you of your lies, which you don't even acknowlege. Proof positive that you have no problem being a fraud. As long as it does damage to a religion you don't like, then it must be biblically okay. </font>[/QUOTE]I wasn't lying, John. He was speaking infallably, if that's a word. You were wrong.

    And your support of this false religion sickens me.

    Curtis,

    No, and you should know that by now, because its already been answered in this thread. She is already a saint or she is not already a saint. The Church's declaration does not in any way MAKE HER A SAINT, it is a declaration of that which has already occured, that is, her entrance into Heaven. She is already a saint or she is not; the declaration only allows us to know. It does not in any way make it a reality.

    Brother Curtis,

    Have you noticed that the non-Catholic Christian faith is non-evasive; maybe because our standard rests firmly on the truth, the living Word of God.

    Grant, why do you need to know ? Is it so you can offer her prayer, as you do other "saints" as proclaimed by the pope, and feel good about it ?

    </font>[/QUOTE]Like my repeated question to you about confessing sin to be merely ritual?

    Or my repeated question to you about loving Jesus and loving His mother?

    Pope John Paul has never made an infallible statement. You're 100% wrong on this issue. Additionally, you refuse to acknowlege your error, and continue to repeat it. Hence you're an absolute boldface liar.
    Here we go again: It's never okay for Christians to say anything nice about the RCC, even if it's truthful. It is, however, okay for Christians to say falsehoods about the RCC if it condemns them. Ridiculous, and completely inappropriate, and sinful, beavior for the Christian to engage in. I find it amusing that the only defense you can come up with to my correcting of such a blatant error on your part is to say I'm "supporting" the RCC. It's rather sad that you'd rather be wrong about something and condemn, rather than be correct about something and give the perception of support.

    John, it has been demonstrated by Catholics here, that these statements, by the pope, concerning her, do fall under the infallibilty thingy.

    I've done a bit of research on this and, no, canonization is not akin to papal infallibility. It's adoption of policy, which is a different topic.

    Well then there is certainly some inconsistancy here. You, not a Catholic, says he isn't. And Grant, who is, says he is.

    Who's right ? Is the pope infallible here or not ? If not, then how do you really know she's in heaven ? And if so, will this open the door to honoring her in prayer ?

    This is the part where I bow out and see what other Catholics say on the subject. Besides, I gotta take my daughter to go sell girl scout nuts, before I eat her entire supply [​IMG]

    As has already been pointed out - the RCC recognizes the link between paganism and the RCC...

    You seem to want to crucify Theresa for saying some things that are logical extensions of what Catholic publications have been telling us for a long time.

    In Christ,

    Bob
