I'm agnostic these days

[BootinUp]

raised a Catholic. My parents are amazing people, gotta give them credit. Anyway, I have been through a rough time lately, but just when I thought there was no hope, things start going better. It's weird, but I want to thank somebody. That's all I have to say I think.

1. Glad things are looking better.

Stick around.

2. Pascendi Dominici Gregis

Pascendi Dominici Gregis details the dangers of agnosticism.

3. Most Catholics tend to be live and let live. I'm no exception.

So we should be supportive of this poster, agnosticism or no. Everyone's spiritual journey is different.

4. And most

haven't read Pascendi Dominici Gregis.

5. Reading encyclcals of Pius X is not a requirement to be Catholic.

Charity toward all, including those seeking answers, is.

6. Amen.

7. Reading of encyclicals is a requirement

as Jesus answered in Matthew 4:4, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

The infallibility of Pascendi Dominici Gregis includes a conviction against agnosticism :

Pope Pius X - Pascendi Dominici Gregis - On the Doctrine of the Modernists - 8 September 1907 A.D.

"Let us turn for a moment, Venerable Brethren, to that most disastrous doctrine of agnosticism. By it every avenue to God on the side of the intellect is barred to man, while a better way is supposed to be opened from the side of a certain sense of the soul and action."

"We order that you do everything in your power to drive out of your dioceses, even by solemn interdict, any pernicious books that may be in circulation there."

Oddly enough, I met your spirit of teaching, rug, here :

The apostate site of Catholic Answers attempted to cite charity as do you, just like the hypocrites whom Jesus convicted during His walk with us.

When that "certain sense of the soul and action" is nothing but hatred repackaged, one comes face to face with some one who does not follow Jesus' commandments.

8. That encyclical, like most of them, is not infallible.

On the other hand, Matthew 22:36-40 is.

Banning books is not the way to achieve anything of value, spiritual or otherwise.

I have a question for you. Do you belong to the SSPV?

10. Such thinking (writing) makes you an apostate,

in need of the Three Days of Darkness in order for your soul to be converted.

At base level, simply put, you do not believe in Jesus Christ.

13. Your name-calling is in opposition to the faith you purport to follow.

It's also a violation of the rules of this website.

14. Sounds to me that your darkness is lasting a hell of a lot longer than three days.

9. You are wrong, but thanks for playing.

You might want to get out more. Maybe listen to your holy father's WORDS every now and again, too.

[Edward Palamar]

11. More than 133K posts,

and you've finally met your match.

12. We'll see about that, now, won't we? LOL! nt

[rug]

15. Well, now we have a taste of what Francis is dealing with.

16. Ain't that the truth...! Good thing he's made of stern stuff.

All those years as a nightclub bouncer prepared him for his journey to Vatican City...

Who knew? LOL!
