9-1-1, In a marriage one must repesct the confidence of one's spouse and not speak about them, particularly the details to others, especially in a group, unless one has the consent of the spouse. In asituation like you describe, perhaps private confidential counselling is more in order. Communula prayer and support does not always mean it is necessary to the intimate personal details of another life, only that they may need prayer and support in a difficult time. Prudence and discretion are virtues that should be practiced in such circumstances. Emmaus |

Billing Clerk, I think you are looking for Matt 23:9, call no man father. Of course verse 28 also says call no man teacher (Rabbi). Hmmm. Matt 23:8 "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. Matt 23:9 "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. http://www.catholic.com/library/Call_No_Man_Father.asp Emmaus |

326 | Is the bride of christ the church? | Eph 5:32 | Emmaus | 144584 | ||
Tim, I have heard that St Augustine knew a little about Scripture. He wrote a book titled The City Of God, which equated the City of God and the Church. So if the New Jerusalem is the City of God and it is inhabited by the Saints of God and the New Jerusalem is the Bride, I think we can decue that the Church is the Bride. Scripture also says that Bride and the Groom become "one body." Hmmm! The Church is the "body" of Christ. hmmm. Emmaus |

Or Daniel 1:1-3 "In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel, who had been named Belteshazzar. The revelation was certain: a great war; he understood it from the vision. In those days, I, Daniel, mourned three full weeks. I ate no savory food, I took no meat or wine, and I did not anoint myself at all until the end of the three weeks." |

328 | What is considered Daniel's fast? | Dan 1:12 | Emmaus | 144577 | ||
Raw vegetables and water. "after three years' training they were to enter the king's service. The king allotted them a daily portion of food and wine from the royal table. Among these were men of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The chief chamberlain changed their names: Daniel to Belteshazzar, Hananiah to Shadrach, Mishael to Meshach, and Azariah to Abednego. But Daniel was resolved not to defile himself with the king's food or wine; so he begged the chief chamberlain to spare him this defilement. Though God had given Daniel the favor and sympathy of the chief chamberlain, he nevertheless said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord the king; it is he who allotted your food and drink. If he sees that you look wretched by comparison with the other young men of your age, you will endanger my life with the king." Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief chamberlain had put in charge of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 'Please test your servants for ten days. Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then see how we look in comparison with the other young men who eat from the royal table, and treat your servants according to what you see." He acceded to this request, and tested them for ten days; after ten days they looked healthier and better fed than any of the young men who ate from the royal table. So the steward continued to take away the food and wine they were to receive, and gave them vegetables." Daniel 1:5-16 NAB footnote [8] This defilement: the bread, meat, and wine of the Gentiles, which were unclean (Hosea 9:3; Tobit 1:12; Judith 10:5; 12:1-2) because they might have been offered to idols or prepared over firewood taken from a sacred grove. Only raw vegetables and water were safe from this danger (Daniel 1:12). |

330 | MJH, Why limit it to adding abuse only? | Matt 19:9 | Emmaus | 144483 | ||
Searcher, A point no one seems to be making is that the sin in these verses comes not with the divorce, but with marriage to another after a divorvce. And divorce was pretty much a one way street in Biblical times. The man did the divorcing at his pleasure. I believe getting beat with a baseball bat or even with fists is a good reason for getting a divorce and God does not expect any woman to be a punching bag for her "husband". One who is being battered must respect and protect their body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In today's world that often means divorce. The biggest problem in many case is getting the battered woman to leave the abusive man before he does permanent damage and even kills her. I have seen it. Emmaus |

Sam, The Church is the New Jerusalem. When we become members of the Church, we become citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our worship, prayers, and works in Christ we participate in the heavenly life. Similarly we refer to "Church" simultaneously as the structure and the people who are in the structure. So it is with the Bride, the Church, the New Jerusalem Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; Emmaus |

Doc, It is simply a spiritual discipline practiced by the Catholic Family. It is not a doctrine or dogma and the nature of the Lenten fast and asbtenance has changed over the years. Catholics are slackers compared to the Eastern Orthodox who abstain from all meat and dairy products and eggs for the whole period of Lent. Catholcs used to do that stricter discipline also back in the Middle Ages. I am not sure when things slackened off for us. Certain monastic orders in the Catholic Church still observe theses fasts and abstenances. But again that is a discipline of the particular order, not a doctrine. It is a sacrifice and a discipline of the passions and carnal appetites to abstain for a time from good things to focus on the higher goods. "Q: Can you offer any biblical justification for the Catholic Church's former teaching that it's sinful to eat meat on Fridays? A: Yes, but, if you recognize the fact that Christ's Church is divinely authorized to teach, sanctify, and govern, there should be no need to "prove" it with biblical examples. If you don't recognize that, consider the following biblical facts. Jesus guaranteed that when his Church teaches it teaches with his authority and that anyone rejecting his Church's teachings rejects him (Luke 10:16). This authority extends to Church discipline as well as doctrine. When the Church imposes a discipline, its members are bound to obey it, unless they are dispensed for a proportionate reason. This exercise of authority is seen in Acts 15, where the Church, in its first major council, bound all Christians to the discipline of abstaining from meat that had been sacrificed to idols or that had come from strangled animals (19-29). When the Church promulgated its teaching about abstaining from meat (Acts 15:28-29), no Christian was free to disregard the discipline without committing sin. But since Paul explained that meat in itself is not unclean and the eating of meat is not inherently sinful (Rom. 14:1-23, 1 Cor. 8:1-13, 10:23-32), a Christian who violated the apostolic teaching in Acts 15 sinned not because the eating of meat was wrong but because he disobeyed a commandment of the Church. When the Catholic Church imposes a discipline such as not eating meat on Fridays, the same principle holds. Consider this parallel example. A mother tells her son not to eat the cookies she just baked because it's close to dinner time and eating the cookies will spoil his appetite. The son ignores his mother's wishes and, when she's not looking, sneaks a few cookies. His sin is not the eating of cookies (a morally-neutral act in itself), but of disobedience. Finally, we should mention why Friday abstinence was imposed. The Church recognizes that, since meat is a chief part of most meals served in most places, and since meat is usually the most valued or expensive part of a meal, abstinence from meat on Fridays is a good way for Christians to unite themselves more closely to the sufferings of their Lord (Rom. 8:16-17, 1 Pet. 2:21) by denying themselves something they enjoy. Abstinence from meat is a sacrifice which unites them in penance and strengthens the solidarity of the Church through mild suffering. It's also a good form of mortification, which disciplines the soul and strengthens its resistance to concupiscence. Paul practiced and recommended mortification: "I drive my body and train it, for fear that after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27)." http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1992/9212qq.asp Here is another link to an article that addresses the abstenance from meat discipline in the second half of the article. http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1992/9212qq.asp Emmaus |
