From Janet Joy re Lex credendi. (Letters to the Editor).Father Bedard says in his article "The bells ring - Lex See yacc. 1. (tool) Lex - A lexical analyser generator for Unix and its input language. There is a GNU version called flex and a version written in, and outputting, SML/NJ called ML-lex. Orandi" that a nationwide survey found out that only 30% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Eucharist. Then in another paragraph he says that in Medjugorje, there is no confusion about Jesus' presence in the Eucharist. He believes this without a survey being taken. In 1983 he said that serious sin in the whole area of Medjugorje was wiped out. He said this without a survey being taken. He said that he believed the apparitions to be totally authentic. He stressed how important these messages must be as Mary spoke to these children every day, not just once a month. Now after over 20 years of messages, what are your beliefs, Father Bedard? That these messages are very, very, very, very, important? Now after two bishops and a commission have said non constat NON CONSTAT. It does not appear. These words are frequently used, particularly in argument; as, it was moved in arrest of judgment that the declaration was not good, because non constat whether A B was seventeen years of age when the action was commenced. Sw. pt. 4, SS 22, p. 331. de supernaturalitate? Now after the promised sign has not appeared? Fr. Bedard says he listened to a priest whom he respected talk about Medjugorje before he was led to go there. The Catholic Church is very cautious about private revelations, but many priests and lay people are not, and make decisions based on their own subjective assumptions. Did he ever stop to think of the damage to the Church if he is wrong? In an article in the San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden Faith, October 2000 issue, titled "Marketing Medjugorje," when a local Catholic wrote to the present bishop of Mostar to ask for the official position of the Catholic Church on the Medjugorje apparitions, she received a letter in reply from the Chancellor of the diocese, Don Ante Luburic. He quoted St. Paul's
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears Itching ears is a Bible term that talks of someone who tries to impress others and draw them to themselves, generally for the monetary enrichment of the teacher. They will teach what the people want to hear or what impresses them to gain favor. they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths" (2 Tim 4: 3-4). The Chancellor also provided an article, "Criteria for Discerning Apparitions-Regarding the Events in Medjugorje," translated into English from a book about the Blessed Virgin Mary Blessed Virgin Mary n. The Virgin Mary. entitled The Seat of Wisdom, edited by Bishop Peric. To preach to the faithful an untruth about God, Jesus, Our Lady, is not right. The road to peace is through repentance. Closure on this issue will not come without repentance on the part of those who have led millions of people to believe in an apparition apparition, spiritualistic manifestation of a person or object in which a form not actually present is seen with such intensity that belief in its reality is created. not approved by the Church. This will not be easy! White Rock, B.C. |
