Beavah Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 All one has to do is go to Church, listen to the Church, and confess when one doesn't do that so good. Yah, this is gettin' kind of funny, eh? Dat's another swing and a miss, TheScout. If yeh really do number two of your list, then you'd recognize that your own church's views of salvation disagree with you. Guess dat's why there's some merit to studyin' and learnin', eh? Keeps yeh from makin' mistakes about important stuff. Of course yeh all did manage to learn a thing or two after 1517 .

packsaddle Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 OK, I give up. Beavah, any idea why he picked Halloween to do that? I've always wondered. I mean, REALLY! Who could be reasonably expected to live on a diet of worms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Catholic isn't a label, I tend to think of it more as a sobriquet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 He probably picked that date because it was the day before All Saint's which is the day most folks would be visiting the holy relics at the Castle Church at Wartenburg (also known as All Saint's Church). They visited there in hopes of getting their time in purgatory reduced (that nasty ol' works thing). So he was guaranteed a large readership. Not as large as if he'd posted it in something other than Latin - but then he was trying to reach the intelligentsia for debate, not the common folk for rabble rousing.

Eamonn Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Seen this was back and wondered why? Still wondering how we got to where we are at? Also wondering if I should go to Mass on Sunday? But now know why I'm a practicing Catholic. Seems I missed out on some of the stuff I kinda thought I knew. Ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packsaddle Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 "Now it is indeed the inmates running the asylum !!" Excuse me???? Take a good look around you - your circle of workers and friends, local government, state government, national government, the stock market, investment banks - think back in time....when has the asylum NOT been run by the inmates?
