Christianity knows bu...Holy Sacrifice of the Mass <br /><br />Christianity knows but one sacrifice, the sacrifice which was once offered by Christ in a bloody manner on the tree of the Cross. But in order to apply to individual men in sacrificial form though a constant sacrifice the merits of redemption definitively won by the sacrifice of the Cross, the Redeemer Himself instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be an unbloody continuation and representation of the bloody sacrifice of Calvary.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10006a.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10006a.htm</a><br /><br />Sacrifice Its History<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13309a.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13309a.htm</a><br /><br />Origin of the Name of Jesus Christ<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374x.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374x.htm</a><br /><br />Christianity<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03712a.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03712a.htm</a><br /><br />Exposition of the Christian Faith by Saint Ambrose (5 books)<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3404.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3404.htm</a>Paul Stramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988514858739600958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-3700122746773059892023-03-11T09:16:43.220-07:002023-03-11T09:16:43.220-07:00On the Holy Name of Jesus What the Catholic Church...On the Holy Name of Jesus What the Catholic Church teaches<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07421a.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07421a.htm</a><br /><br />Allah Origin and uses of the name<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01316a.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01316a.htm</a><br /><br />Hail Zeus?

Incalculable harm was thereby wrought from the religious standpoint. The false fundamental doctrine of justification by faith alone, taught by the Reformers, produced a lamentable shallowness in religious life. Zeal for good works disappeared, the asceticism which the Church had practised from her foundation was despised, charitable and ecclesiastical objects were no longer properly cultivated, supernatural interests fell into the background, and naturalistic aspirations aiming at the purely mundane, became widespread. The denial of the Divinely instituted authority of the Church, both as regards doctrine and ecclesiastical government, opened wide the door to every eccentricity, gave rise to the endless division into sects and the never-ending disputes characteristic of Protestantism, and could not but lead to the complete unbelief which necessarily arises from the Protestant principles. Of real freedom of belief among the Reformers of the sixteenth century there was not a trace; on the contrary, the greatest tyranny in matters of conscience was displayed by the representatives of the Reformation. The most baneful Caesaropapism was meanwhile fostered, since the Reformation recognized the secular authorities as supreme also in religious matters. Thus arose from the very beginning the various Protestant "national Churches", which are entirely discordant with the Christian universalism of the Catholic Church, and depend, alike for their faith and organization, on the will of the secular ruler. In this way the Reformation was a chief factor in the evolution of royal absolutism. In every land in which it found ingress, the Reformation was the cause of indescribable suffering among the people; it occasioned civil wars which lasted decades with all their horrors and devastations; the people were oppressed and enslaved; countless treasures of art and priceless manuscripts were destroyed; between members of the same land and race the seed of discord was sown. Germany in particular, the original home of the Reformation, was reduced to a state of piteous distress by the Thirty Years' War, and the German Empire was thereby dislodged from the leading position which it had for centuries occupied in Europe. Only gradually, and owing to forces which did not essentially spring from the Reformation, but were conditioned by other historical factors, did the social wounds heal, but the religious corrosion still continues despite the earnest religious sentiments which have at all times characterized many individual followers of the Reformation.<br /><br />Paul Stramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988514858739600958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621915200928222891.post-17290124251523474892023-03-11T08:40:00.438-07:002023-03-11T08:40:00.438-07:00The Church or the Bible.

[Matthew 23:9] <br /><br />"Call none your father upon earth": Neither be ye called masters. The meaning is that our Father in heaven is incomparably more to be regarded, than any father upon earth: and no master to be followed, who would lead us away from Christ. But this does not hinder but that we are by the law of God to have a due respect both for our parents and spiritual fathers, (1 Cor. 4. 15) and for our masters and teachers.Paul Stramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988514858739600958noreply@blogger.com
