1 | What do you like about the ... church? | 1 Cor 3:22 | TheCurtMan | 95762 | ||
What do you think is good and praiseworthy in say, the Roman Catholic Church? I work in a Catholic Hospital, and what I notice about the church is their dedication to Christ. Their strive to follow the teachings of loving and honoring one another. The Nuns go to the patient’s rooms and share Christ with them or share the patient’s burdens. They do what they can for the patients. They feed the hungry; clothe the clothless; and shelter the homeless. There’s morning and evening prayer everyday. And of all the surrounding hospitals within this city. I’ve noticed that the Catholic Hospitals are the only ones who haven’t laid employees off. James 1:21 says, “Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only….” Our Lord and Savior had much to say about how we are to treat one another. Matt 7:12 says, “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you….” NASB. The CurtMan |

2 | Thank the Catholics for "The Passion"? | 1 Cor 3:22 | Aixen7z4 | 114577 | ||
Should we thank the Catholic church nor for "The Passion of the Christ"? Somehow, it seems now that it had to happen. That is the way that Catholics do things. This is not meant to be an offensive statement but I think that only a Catholic could have made that movie. I do not kow for sure what I am saying here. My parents were Catholic and I attended a Catholic school. All I will say is that, as a child, I found the pictures on the wall and the "Stations of the Cross" really frightening. I stayed away from them. Now I find I have not seen the movie. If I do see it the reason would be that it enables me to talk about it. It is my impression that only Catholics have been referring to the sufferings of Christ as a "Passion". With that and the movie itself, are they not making a unique contribution to Christianity? |

3 | Thank the Catholics for "The Passion"? | 1 Cor 3:22 | Searcher56 | 114585 | ||
Stereotyping is dangerous ... While Mel Gibson is a Roman Catholic and it has influenced his life and thinking ... if I were smart enough, I would do something like it, too. My desire is to write about His last 2 days ... and His resurrection ... from the view of the Roman soldier who nailed His right hand to the cross, who is a follower of the Lamb ... and now other soldiers at the key scenes ... plus, the Garden with Him alone. |

Please read the first post in this thread. The purpose is not stereotyping, or anything else that's negative. The idea is to find something praiseworthy, wherever it exists in the church. | ||||||
