Suggestion.. [#2749]
« on: July 07, 2013, 10:43:54 AM »
A Suggestion…
 
I believe it might be useful for an independent organization to research the miracles attributed to present and future saints of the catholic church….
 
We wouldn’t want the church to make a mistake and give sainthood to an undeserving person….

I dealt with one nutbag....Maggie the Opinionated and her take on this more or less is ludicous:

The organization is composed of fallible people who make mistakes. However the church as a spiritual entity and cannot make mistakes.

Yeah under the underlying spiritual substance clause that allow for the literal transubstantiation, but not a testable one &)

She's currently in the corner there, for, I believe the next 40 days. But if she keeps on using derogatory words toward staff members it may be indefinite or she may be banned.

On a separate note: I too am in the corner. I, however, find it hilarious.

They are becoming quite conservative these days.

Well I'm not so sure about that Emily. 
See they used to say an altar stone needed two Class I relics buried in it for the altar magic to work properly - but then they realised their mistake (clearly magic is not additive) and so changed it to just one Class I relic:

... according to the Pontificale Romanum (De Eccles. Consecratione) the relics of two canonized martyrs, although the Cong. Sac. Rit. (16 February 1906) decided that if the relic of only one martyr is placed in it the consecration is valid, ...

Their honesty in addressing this matter is comforting .... no? :angel:

The catholic church has changed their tune on numerous subjects. I dated a guy who had studied to become a priest. He told me some of the details of changes over time, and I was shocked. No, I don't recall details, but they were pretty fundamental changes.

The whole idea of "sainthood" is ridiculous.

There are no miracles, never has been, just unexplained incidents that some bozo puts his hand up for.

I think that first each sect of the major religions should put forward what they see as an incontravertable miracle, and all the other sects of that religion would attempt to debunk it. Once an undebunkable miracle has been found, that sect's miracle goes forward to compete against the winners from other religions.

Finally, we will know which one is the "One True Faith" and which god is the "One True God."

The RC church did have a "Devil's Advocate" for nearly 400 years whose job was to make the case against canonisation of a proposed saint.

JP2 got rid of the post and starting creating saints wholesale.
