The Virgin Mary

[Santino]

Did Cromwell have people burned alive, like St Thomas More did?

 

[Humberto]

You have senior rank here, I defer to you.

Maybe Humberto is up to the task...

It's not a bad idea but I think it would go similarly to this one. I've had my fill already.

I think that's a bit unfair to the poster.

You should have the courage of your convictions and start the thread about sin and why you believe in it.

Ok, then maybe I will...

Who could blame you? I'm a glutton for punishment....

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Cromwell prosecuted Catholics for being Catholic. I understand Shippou-Sensei was not being completely serious, but "being Catholic" would be the only crime Mary could be indicted for.

For, as you know, She was and is free from sin from the moment of Her Immaculate Conception (that Feast Day is celebrated on December 8)

Tax Evasion: In most legal systems, not paying taxes is a crime. However, not all religious systems may specifically classify the act of evading taxes as a sin, particularly if the evasion does not involve deceit or theft.

Jaywalking: In many places, jaywalking, or crossing the street outside of a designated crosswalk, is a minor legal offense. Most religions do not address such specific actions and generally focus on broader ethical principles.

Speeding: Driving over the legal speed limit is a punishable offense in many regions. This action is typically not addressed directly in religious texts, which are more likely to promote general principles of safety and respect for others' well-being.

Parking Violations: Illegally parking a vehicle is a legal offense but does not typically correlate with religious teachings, unless viewed under broader ethical principles like respect for laws and order.

Violating Copyright Laws: Copying or distributing copyrighted material without permission is a legal crime in many countries. The moral view of this from a religious perspective may vary and might not specifically be considered a sin unless it involves deceit or theft.

It's not punishment to debate concepts.

It's more about getting your points across and backing them up.

Do start a thread. Please. Convince us, well, me at least, what sin is and how it impacts on us.

 

[ouirdeaux]

So bcuster thinks something is likely to be true because someone takes a great risk by saying it.

Calling him a moron would be an insult to morons.

 

[bcuster]

ouirdeaux continues with the ad hominem attacks..

NB: I won't respond in kind, but I may report your posts to the moderation staff..

It's almost noon here; I'm off to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. How I wish ouirdeaux could accompany me...

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

To be fair most courts still use eye witness statements.
Your a bit stuck on what counts for evidence in the days before DNA and CCTV.


Not that this means it is good evidence. Just what would be expected.

fair points, but I was speaking only to hearsay and witness testimony..
But thank you for alerting me that are much more compelling forms of admissible evidence.

 

[bcuster]

Enjoy, on this special day

 

[ouirdeaux]

So I risk losing my right to post here by insulting you? By your 'logic', that must make my statement true. Thanks for acknowledging it, O qualifiied one.

I report (which I didn't, BTW) ; moderation decides...

Go ahead & insult me. You're an entertaining poster, to be sure...

Can you summarise the video, please? Is it music or what?

 

[bcuster]

Can you summarise the video, please? Is it music or what?

Yes. It is very beautiful chanting in Meso-American Native language set to the musical notes on the Tilma. It is beautiful, enchanting and hypnotic.
A masterwork, imo...

Ok, well as stated before, I don't mind religious music, so I'll give it a listen tomorrow...

(Way past bedtime here)

 

[Dystopiary]

I love the Gregorian chants.

 

[mojo pixy]

I love the Gregorian chants.

They're excellent, but they're no ruddy yurts.

 

[JimW]

Ecclesiastes has some top passages too.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

His Gregorian Madrigal period was unbelievable.

 

[Serge Forward]

Ooh... ooh... a new Mary film... can't wait, etc.

 

[mojo pixy]

His Gregorian Madrigal period was unbelievable.

Transcendental zither work

 

[tony.c]

Ooh... ooh... a new Mary film... can't wait, etc.

I watched it on Sunday, I thought it was good.

 

[Elpenor]

Transcendental zither work

This period was inspired of course by Anton Karas famous theme for The Third Man.

However Yurts would only perform this live at concerts 33.33% of the time in keeping with the specified fraction

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Ooh... ooh... a new Mary film... can't wait, etc.

A miracle! Mary has an American accent! Praise the lord. The baddy has an English accent, of course.

 

[kabbes]

At ENORMOUS risk to myself, I dodged across five busy lanes of traffic to hear Mary and then dodged it all to get back again. She said, and I quote, “you’re a cunt.” Not my words, custer. What are to going to do? Many Bothans died to bring you this information.

Mary was not a Roman Catholic. There was no Roman Catholic Church in her lifetime.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Don't you know Catholicism is retroactive.

 

[PTK]

Don't you know Catholicism is retroactive.

Therefore I claim that Mary is a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. She would have supported a single secular democratic state.
