One last statement; one last question.Cardinal Manning, speaking in the name of the Pope, said, 'I acknowledge no civil power; I am the subject of no prince; and I claim more than this. I claim to be the supreme judge and director of the consciences of men-- of the peasants that till the fields, and of the prince that sits upon the throne; of the household that lives in the shade of privacy, and the legislator that makes laws for kingdoms-- I am sole, last, supreme judge of what is right and wrong. Moreover, we declare, affirm, define, and pronounce it to be necessary to salvation to every human creature, to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.' Oct. 9, 1864. There doesn't seem to be a lot of concern for the state, here. Has anyone answered my challenge to the pope's existence, based on Eph 2: 19-22? |

One last interesting proposal by their chief theologian.I found this alarming enough to render lying negligible: 'Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them, till, by a second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate in their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be exterminated.' St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologia, Vol. iv. p.90. You do realise, Lance Eccles, that our battle is not with you, but with your church and your defense of it. Our prayers are with you, for your salvation and entrance into glory. We plead your continued remembrance of this in all of our discussions. |
