Thread for Tony Fearon to to pontificate about Catholicism

Because the alternative is eternal damnation

Says who?
I know a few Hindu chauvinists who would be similar to you.  They say Shiva is the decider

[punt kick]

You are far too obsessed with minor details,like the birthplace of Jesus etc.The core issues are as follows:

Belief in and acceptance of Christ as your saviour

Repent sin

Do your utmost to live a good life free from serious sin.

Or if you kill, rape, abuse - just say two our fathers and 5 hail marys and your are grand!

[T Fearon]

Not at all.Repentance must be sincere,accompanied by remorse and a determination to amend your life.It's not just a matter of wiping the slate clean every now and again

So when you have raped and killed all your life and are lying on your death bed with no mortal future in front of you, and you beg forgiveness in your last hours and in your heart you are truly sorry for raping small children or murdering - will you be saved?

Only God can answer that one,though it did seem to work for the thief crucified alongside Jesus.

You are just piss taking, harlious.

[T Fearon]

Only God can judge whether repentance is genuine and sufficient to reach heaven.

The thief didn't even have a name. He was a working class victim of a vicious bourgeois society where going to Temple was more important than morality. Very like Portadine in the 60s.

[T Fearon]

Think the message from that incident is,belief in Jesus and sincere repentance is all you need

Yesterday the truly inspirational Fr Tim Hazelwood was on the Joe Duffy show.He had been accused falsely of child abuse but later accepted a full retraction and apology from his accuser in court.The Catholic Church (far from covering up child abuse) hung him out to dry,and gave him no support whatsoever in his fight for justice.

But when his innocence was confirmed what did he do? Leave the Church that abandoned him,or worse still turn his back on his maker? No.He returned to his ministry with renewed enthusiasm.These are the sort of role models who inspire me.They never waver no matter what life throws at them.Truly inspirational,all anti Catholics would do well to note and follow his example.

Thought this was appropriate in this thread.

Well here's another highly principled Catholic who publicly declares his stance on abortion.  Just like many of those who claim to take the holier than thou route in Catholicism, Jacob Rees Mogg's principles soften enough for him to wriggle when he is found to profit from abortion pills.  If his connection is as limited as he states then he would have taken himself out of the situation and not accepted the money.

He has no hands on involvement with the Company and the medication is intended to treat stomach ulcers.As he rightly says the Company's shareholders call the shots,just as he said that if he was PM he would be subject to democratically expressed wishes of the electorate and could not simply enforce his own personal beliefs

Mogg admits to benefiting from the profits of selling this abortion drug - how can that square with his Catholic belief?  Money wins.  No move to divest himself of the business/shares.

[T Fearon]

The money is derived from a drug that was developed to treat stomach ulcers.He has no intent to be involved with a product that is intended to facilitate abortion.If it is misused to have other unintended effects and outcomes he has no part in that.

He knows it is being used for abortions and still takes his share of the profits coming to his company.  Typical of the pin dancing by those highly principled Catholics who know what is best for us all yet will always look after themselves.  Then they have others like yourself who will make every excuse under the sun to cover their hypocrisy - the great terminal disease for the Catholic Church.
