If one recalls the time frame from which Radio Replies emerged, it can explain some of the frankness and lack of tact in the nature of the responses provided.
It was during this timeframe that a considerable amount of anti-Catholic rhetoric came to the forefront, particularly in this country. Much of this developed during the Presidential campaign of Al Smith in 1928, but had its roots in the publication of Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons, originally published in book form in 1919 and also published in pamphlet form in 1853.
While in Britain (and consequently Australia), the other fellow would surely have experienced the effects of the Popery Act, the Act of Settlement, the Disenfranchising Act, the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, and many others since the reformation (that basically boiled down to saying, "We won't kill you if you just be good, quiet little Catholics"). Even the so-called Catholic Relief Acts (1778, 1791, 1829, 1851, 1871) still had huge barriers placed in the way.
And of course, they'd both remember the American Protective Association, "Guy Fawkes Days" (which included burning the Pontiff in effigy), the positions of the Whigs and Ultra-Torries, and so on.
A strong degree of "in your face" from people in the position of authoritativeness was required back in the 1930s, as there was a large contingent of the populations of both the US and the British Empire who were not at all shy about being "in your face" toward Catholics in the first place (in other words, a particularly contentious day on Free Republic would be considered a mild day in some circles back then). Sure, in polite, educated circles, contention was avoided (thus the little ditty about it not being polite to discuss religion in public, along with sex and politics), but it would be naive to assume that we all got along, or anything resembling that, back in the day.
Having said all of the above, reading the articles from the modern mindset and without the historical context that I tried to briefly summarize above, they make challenging reading, due to their bluntness.
The reader should also keep in mind that the official teaching of the Church takes a completely different tone, best summed up in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."269 The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism270 - do not occur without human sin:Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271
818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers .... All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."272
819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."274 Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276
838 "The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter."322 Those "who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."323 With the Orthodox Churches, this communion is so profound "that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord's Eucharist."324

Interesting read
I have but one question for you GonzoII, and other Catholics on FR who have been itching for a fight with FR Protestants lately.....
Why do you wish to pick a fight with those who hold to the Protestant and non denominational faith?
Do you really desire to debate, or just incite a fight? What purpose is there in questioning the very legitimacy of the protestant reformation, which in turn would pit the reasons for it against the well documented heretical practices of the Catholic Church leading up to and since the reformation?
It seems that many Catholics on FR lately are itching for a fight.
My question is why?
What to you expect to gain by it. Do you even realize that all you will accomplish is the ridicule of those on both sides? I say that because history proves that neither the FR Catholics, nor the FR Protestants ever back down. At least never on FR.
Yet you tempt fate anyway?
So far, I personally I have not yet taken the bate. Not in the twelve years of my membership, and very active participation in apologetic Christian discussions. I do admit that it is tempting, but each time I am almost drawn in I back off. Not for fear of losing the debate, but from fear of making us all look like the fools the left desires to see on display here.
All you do, both sides who push the issue here, is divide Christian conservatives who see eye to eye. I ask myself if some of you who wish to start this fight are even true conservatives. After all, the liberals have been wanting to divide Christians for a long time, and what better place to start then with the Catholic vs the Protestant faiths.
It is, after all, a proven fact that election after election Catholics overwhelmingly vote Democrat while Protestants overwhelmingly vote Republican. I also have noticed that in the last few years there has been an increase of new freeper members who are Catholic. It has been since that influx that we have had more divisive arguments here about the reformation vs the legitimacy of the Pope.
I know for a fact that the Catholic Church has been pressing hard to increase the membership of the Catholic Church because of so many who have left because of all the scandals. You and others on FR seem to be like the many Catholics I have ran into in my dealings the last few years, who are beginning to get very aggressive in attacking the legitimacy of the Reformation and thus the Protestant faith itself.
So, I ask you again sir.
What do you expect to gain by picking a fight with the Protestants and Non denominational Christians of FreeRepublic?
Got your back, brother. There's a word for those who profess a Divine Right: SINNER!
Thanks,,, It is always a good feeling to have backup.
I must admit to having the hair on the back of neck raise as I scanned most of the above. However, it is somewhat tempered by the quotes from "Catechism of the Catholic Church" he offers.
Still, it's making me want to start a consistent series of daily threads against Catholicism.
He and He alone is the Head of my Faith, for their is none other for a true Christian.
To believe other than that is to place mortals above God and that is not Christianity but paganism.
Well Said. I'll stand by you on that.
That's fine. That Jesus established a Church to be listened to.
Who's picking a fight? This concerns doctrine about which Protestants and Catholics have their differences.
cAt FiGhT
These threads are for Catholics who have an interest in learning more or being more edified about their faith and all others who may be interested in the Catholic faith.
If you choose to define that as picking a fight that is your right of opinion.
In this day and age of PC I would think the straightforwardness of the Fathers would be appreciated if not their doctrine.
It seems unremarkable that Catholic catechisms profess the inerrancy and essentiality of the entirety of Catholic doctrine. What is less clear is why I should simply take the Catholic church's word for it ... regardless of whether those words are in catechisms or not.
Citing Catholic writings as proof of the inerrancy of Catholic writings creates something of a feedback loop.
Just a note on this. While most of British law was incorporated into Australian law, one big exception were most of the above acts. This is because the Australian Constitution included the following section from the time it became active in 1901.
The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
(If it looks somewhat familiar, it is because the text of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States as used as a starting model for it).
This section rendered most of the anti-Catholic laws that had passed in Britain over the years irrelevant within Australia.
There was some anti-Catholic prejudice here, certainly, but at about the time Father Rumble began his radio broadcasts in Sydney, Australia elected its first Catholic Prime Minister. He may well have experienced anti-Catholic feeling - I'm sure he did at times - but it wasn't down to the effects of Acts of Parliament.
Previously Radio Replies has given purely historical evidence as to why the Catholic church is believed to be the true doctrinally inerrant body esablished by Christ.
Thanks for your input.
Most of us Catholics who participate on the Religion forum have seen the most VILE comments gleefully posted, the same ones, day after day after day.
We have answered them in all sincerity until our limit of patience for the very same daily calumnies has been reached.
Like it or lump it, many of us are no longer backing down or making nice. Anti-Catholic bigots have used the Religion Forum rules against us until we have learned to use them ourselves.
If you cannot defend your beliefs, then perhaps it's wise to stay off the open threads. If you are thin-skinned, same goes. If you are unclear about the rules, perhaps it is best to learn them. And if you want to be taken seriously, do not whine.
I know why people believe the Catholic church is inerrant, I just doubt that they are right. When theological evidence is purely historical, rather than fundamentally scriptural, I typically end up unconvinced.
>> Most of us Catholics who participate on the Religion forum have seen the most VILE comments gleefully posted, the same ones, day after day after day.

A self-defeating post.
As for this one:
"Protestantism has no central authority, and no priesthood properly so-called. It has not an apostolicity such as the true Christian Church requires. "
It has the BIBLE, for heaven's sakes.
"Previously Radio Replies has given purely historical evidence as to why the Catholic church is believed to be the true doctrinally inerrant body esablished by Christ. "
How about some biblical evidence?
Protestantism has our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone of the Church, not the Pope. Those who call their denomination the Church, fail to exercise faith through Christ, when they place the Pope between any believer and God.
True dat.
Or when they place any "saint" and his/her intercession between any believer and God.
I didn't have in mind "theological" evidence, I meant the Catholic church per se, as an historical entity, along with its hierarchy, sacraments etc. is an historical observable fact that goes back to the first century.
Prove it using non-Roman Catholic (strictly secular, from the period) sources.
As regards from "the period" I admit all credible historians were Catholic thus proving my point that the Catholic church goes back to the time of Christ. The following modern secular sources are provided followed by the Church Fathers:
When Was The Catholic Church founded?
BY Charles The Hammer
When researching the history of the Catholic Church using public sources we find that many times thay are reluctant to give the full truth as to when and by whom the Catholic Church was found. Some are only willing to admit the church existed in the first century but most just avoid the issue altogether.
Protestants many times would like us to believe there was no early church structure or for that matter a specific early church and that Constantine "created" the Roman Catholic Church. they would also like us to believe there was no standardized early church leadership and no universal church leadership, all of these were creations of the third and fourth century. Although as a stated above not everyone the citations is as explicit as we may want them to be their very useful against the pseudo-history.
ROMAN CATHOLICISM. The largest of the Christian denominations is the Roman Catholic church. As an institution it has existed since the 1st century AD...The name of the church is derived from its base in Rome and from a Greek term meaning "universal." The word Catholic refers to the wholeness of the church, and for many centuries the Roman church claimed to be the only true Christian denomination.(Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia © 1996)
ROMAN CATHOLICISM: Christian church characterized by its uniform, highly developed doctoral and organizational structure that traces its history to the apostles of Jesus Christ in the 1st century C.E. (Marriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of World Religions © 1999, page 938 )
The history of the Roman Church, therefore, in relation to the ancient oriental churches, is in fact, the history of this claim to supremacy. The claim of supremacy on the part of the bishop of Rome rests on the belief that Christ conferred on the apostle Peter a 'primacy of jurisdiction;' that Peter fixed his see and died at Rome and thus, that the bishops of Rome, as successors of the apostle Peter, have succeeded to his preorgatives of supremacy. In this light, historians read the facts of the early history of the church---and they trace to this acknoledgment of the superiority of that see, the numerous references to Rome on matters of doctrine or discipline; the appeals from other churhces, even those of Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople; the depositions or nominations of bishops, examination and condemnation of heresies---of which the first five centuries, especially the 4th and 5th, present examples. . . In all the controversies on the Incarnation---the Arian, the Nestorian, the Eutychian, the Monothelite---not only was the orthodoxy of Rome never impeached, but she even supplied at every crisis a rallying point for the orthodox of every church. ( Imperial Encyclopedia and Dictionary, Volume 32 © 1903)
The Church of Rome is the earliest of Christian organization; after three centuries of persecution, it was given freedom by the edict of Constantine and Licinius and acquired increased influence. Bishoprics were established in various parts of the empire, but the one at Rome remained supreme, and in time the title of Pope, or father originally borne by all the bishops indiscriminately, began to be restricted to the bishop of Rome.(The World Book Encyclopedia © 1940, Page 6166, Volume 14,)
The office of Pope was founded on the words of Christ: "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter [which means a rock], and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" ( Matthew xvi, 18). The attention of every historian has been attracted by the endurance of the Papacy through centuries that have seen the downfall of every other European institution that existed when the Papacy arose, and of a number of others that have originated and fallen, while it continued t flourish. The Roman Catholic offers these facts as evidence that the Church is not merely a human institution, but that it is built "upon a rock," (The World Book Encyclopedia © 1940, Page 5730 Volume13)
Historical Notes. The Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church recognizes the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, as the Vicar of Christ on this earth, and as the Head of the Church. It traces its origin from the naming of the Apostles Peter by Jesus as the chief of the Apostles . The authority of Peter as head of the Church is exercised by his successors as the Bishops of Rome. The doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church come from the faith given by Christ to his Apostles.( World Religions, By Benson Y. Landis, © 1957 Page 110)
At first the Christians were terribly persecuted, but gradually they spread the Christs radian spirit and teachings until they united many races, classes, and religious beliefs into a brotherhood which extended from Persia to the Atlantic Ocean. Later, this brotherhood spread to American, and Christianity became the prevailing religion of the Western Hemisphere. It has now ben taught in all countries.For nearly a thousand years the Christians remained practically one great community. Then the Greek Catholics broke away from the Roman Catholics. "The World Book Encyclopedia ©1940, Page 1413 Volume 3)
(The Catholic) Church... traces an unbroken line of popes from St. Peter in the 1st century AD to the present occupant of the papal throne. During this nearly 2,000-year period there were more than 30 false popes, most notably during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. These men were merely claimants to the position. There have rarely been periods when a genuine pope was not ruling the church. In 1978 John Paul II became the 264th true pope.(Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia © 1996)
By A. D. 100,...Christianity had become an institution headed by a three-rank hierarchy of bishops, priests, and deacons, who understood themselves to be the guardians of the only "true faith." The majority of churches, among which the church of Rome took a leading role, rejected all other viewpoints as heresy. Deploring the diversity of the earlier movement, Bishop Irenaeus and his followers insisted that there could be only one church, and outside of that church, he declared, "there is no salvation." Members of this church alone are orthodox (literally, "straight-thinking") Christians. And, he claimed, this church must be catholic-- that is, universal.(The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels. Published by Vintage Books. 1994)
The Empire within the Empire.Long before the fall of Rome there had begun to grow up within the Roman Empire an ecclesiastical state, which in its constitution and its administrative system was shaping itself upon the imperial model. This spiritual empire, like the secular empire, possessed a hierarchy of officers, of which deacons, priests or prebyters, and bishops were the most important. The bishops collectively formed what is know as the episcopate. There were four grades of bishops, namely, country bishops, city bishops, metropolitans or archbishops, and patriarchs. At the end of the third century there were five patriarchates, that is, regions ruled by patriarchs. These centered in the great cities of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. Among the patriarchs, the patriarchs of Rome were accorded almost universally a precedence in honor and dignity. They claimed further a precedence in authority and jurisdiction, and this was already very widely recognized ...Besides the influence of great men, such as Leo the Great, Gregory the Great, and Nicholas I, who held the seat of St. Peter, there were various historical circumstances that contributed to the realization by the Roman bishops of their claim to supremacy and aided them vastly in establishing the almost universal authority of the see of Rome. In the following paragraphs we shall enumerate several of these favoring circumstances. These matters constitute the great landmarks in the rise and early growth of the Papacy.
The belief in the Primacy of St. Peter and in the Founding by him of the Church at Rome.The Catholic Church teaches that the apostle Peter was given by the Master primacy among his fellow apostles and, furthermore, that Christ intrusted that disciple with the keys of the kingdom of heaven and invested him with superlative authority as teacher and interpreter of the Word by the commission "Feed my sheep"; . . ."feed my lambs," thus giving into his charge the entire flock of the Church. It also teaches that the apostle Peter himself founded the church at Rome. Without doubt he preached at Rome and suffered martyrdom there under the Emperor Nero...The Pastor as Protector of Rome.With the advent of the barbarians there came another occasion for the Roman bishops to widen their influence and enhance their authority. Romes extremity was their opportunity. Thus it will be recalled how mainly through the intercession of the pious Pope Leo the Great the fierce Attila was persuaded to turn back and spare the imperial city; and how the same bishop, in the year A.D. 455, also appeased in a measure the wrath of the Vandal Geiseric and shielded the inhabitants from the worst passions of a barbarian soldiery...Thus when the emperors, the natural defenders of the capital, were unable to protect it, the unarmed Pastor was able, through the awe and reverence inspired by his holy office, to render services that could not but result in bringing increased honor and dignity to the Roman see. (Mediaeval and Modern History, By Myers, Pg 26-27 Ginn and Company New York, 1905 )
Peter: d AD 64? Apostle, pope, and saint. According to the Bible Peter, a fisherman of Galilee was originally known as Simon. He was chosen by Jesus to be the first leader (pope) of his disciples. During Jesus' crucifixion, Peter denied knowing him, an act that Jesus had predicted and that Peter bitterly repented of. After word of Jesus' ascension to heaven, Peter actively sought converts, and is believed to have been crucified, head downward, in Rome by Nero. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is considered to be the first Pope.

"If you are a Roman Catholic, Jesus Christ began your religion in the year 33. "(Ann Landers (Jewish), syndicated columnist in the Daily Record of Morris County, N.J. (from which we take this piece) for Monday, November 11,1996 reads)
"The Roman Catholic church ... the only legitimate inheritor, by an unbroken episcopal succession descending from Saint Peter to the present time, of the commission and powers conferred by Jesus Christ...Until the break with the Eastern church in 1054 and the break with the Protestant churches in the 1500s, it is impossible to separate the history of the Roman Catholic church from the history of Christianity" (The Encarta Encyclopedia © 1997 says)
"33-40 A.D.The Roman Catholic Church is founded by Jesus Christ"(The Timetables of History © 1975)
"The Catholic Church...Saint Peter and the Popes who have descended in unbroken succession from him have never ceased to feed, with the life-giving Sacraments and doctrines of the Catholic Church, the sheep whom Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd" (History Of The Popes © 1965)
"Jesus Christ has founded one only Church, the Catholic hierarchical Church, whose chief pastors are the Pope and the Bishops in union with the Pope," (The Early Church © 1945)
"St. Peter, of Bethsaida in Galilee, From Christ he received the name of Cepha, an Aramaic name which means rock .Prince of the Apostles, was the first pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He lived first in Antioch and then in Rome for 25 years. In C.E. 64 or 67, he was martyred. St. Linus became the second pope." (National Almanac © 1996)
"ROMAN CATHOLICISM The largest of the Christian denominations is the Roman Catholic church. As an institution it has existed since the 1st century AD, ...the Roman church owes its existence to the life of Jesus Christ in the 1st century AD" (Comptons Encyclopedia ©1995)
"Roman Catholic authority rests upon a mandate that is traced to the action of Jesus Christ himself, when he invested Peter and, through Peter, his successors with the power of the keys in the church. Christ is the invisible head of his church, and by his authority the pope is the visible head." (Encyclopedia Britannica ©1999)
"Roman Catholicism Christian church characterized by its uniform, highly developed doctrinal and organizational structure that traces its history to the Apostles of Jesus Christ in the 1st century AD." (Encyclopedia Britannica ©1999)
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, the largest single Christian body, composed of those Christians who acknowledge the supreme authority of the bishop of Rome, the pope, in matters of faith. The word catholic (Gr. katholikos) means "universal" and has been used to designate the church since its earliest period, when it was the only Christian church. The Roman Catholic church regards itself as the only legitimate inheritor, by an unbroken episcopal succession descending from St. Peter to the present time, of the commission and powers conferred by Jesus Christ on the 12 apostles (see APOSTLE). The church has had a profound influence on the development of European culture and on the introduction of European values into other civilizations. Its total membership as the 1990s began was about 995.8 million (about 18.8 percent of the world population). (Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia ©1998-2000)
The doctrine of apostolic succession, that is, the continuous transmission of ministry from the time of Jesus until today. The doctrine is found as early as the Epistle to the Corinthians (c. 96), traditionally attributed to Pope Clement I...It is expressly affirmed in Roman Catholicism. It is identified with the succession of bishops in office and interpreted as the source of the bishops authority and leadership role. The most specific instance of these claims is that the pope is the successor of St. Peter, who was chosen by Jesus as head of his church (see Matt. 16:1618). (Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia ©1998-2000)
Saint Cyprian (died A.D. 258): "He who has turned his back on the Church of Christ shall not come to the rewards of Christ; he is an alien, a worldling, an enemy. You cannot have God for your Father if you have not the Church for your mother. Our Lord warns us when He says: `he that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth.' Whosoever breaks the peace and harmony of Christ acts against Christ; whoever gathers elsewhere than in the Church scatters the Church of Christ." (Unity of the Catholic Church)
"He who does not hold this unity, does not hold the law of God, does not hold the faith of the Father and the Son, does not hold life and salvation." (Patrologiae Cursus Completus: Latina)
"Nay, though they should suffer death for the confession of the Name, the guilt of such men is not removed even by their blood...No martyr can he be who is not in the Church." (Ancient Christian Writers)
"Christ has declared the unity of the Church. Whoever parts and divides the Church cannot possess Christ ... The House of God is but one, and no one can have salvation except in the Church" (The Unity of the Church)
"There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church ... and it is they who in His Church have labored in doing good works whom the Lord says shall be received into the Kingdom of Heaven on the Day of Judgment." (Epistle 73:21)
Bishop Firmilean (died A.D. 269): "What is the greatness of his error, and what the depth of his blindness, who says that remission of sins can be granted in the synagogues of heretics, and does not abide on the foundation of the one Church." (Anti-Nicene Fathers)
Saints Cosmas and Damian (died A.D. 303): "There is absolutely no salvation outside the Catholic Church" (Saints to Remember)
St. Catherine of Alexandria (died A.D. 307) "It is necessary for you to believe the Catholic Faith and to be baptized, as must every man in order to save his soul." (Saints to Know and Love)
Lactantius (died A.D. 310): "It is the Catholic Church alone which retains true worship. This is the fountain of truth, this is the abode of the Faith, this is the temple of God; into which if anyone shall not enter, or from which if anyone shall go out, he is a stranger to the hope of life and eternal salvation." (The Divine Institutes)
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (died A.D. 386): "Abhor all heretics...heed not their fair speaking or their mock humility; for they are serpents, a `brood of vipers.' Remember that, when Judas said `Hail Rabbi,' the salutation was an act of betrayal. Do not be deceived by the kiss but beware of the venom. Abhor such men, therefore, and shun the blasphemers of the Holy Spirit, for whom there is no pardon. For what fellowship have you with men without hope. Let us confidently say to God regarding all heretics, `Did I not hate, O Lord, those who hated Thee, and did I not pine away because of Your enemies?' For there is an enmity that is laudable, as it is written, `I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed.' Friendship with the serpent produces enmity with God, and death. Let us shun those from whom God turns away." (The Fathers of the Church)
Saint Ambrose (died A.D. 397): "Where Peter is therefore, there is the Church. Where the Church is there is not death but life eternal. ...Although many call themselves Christians, they usurp the name and do not have the reward." (The Fathers of the Church)
St. John Chrysostom (died A.D. 407): "We know that salvation belongs to the Church alone, and that no one can partake of Christ nor be saved outside the Catholic Church and Catholic Faith." (De Capto Eutropio)
"We should mourn for those who are dying without the Faith ... And well should the pagan weep and lament who, not knowing God, goes straight to punishment when he dies!" (On the Consolation of Death)
St. Gaudentius of Brescia (died A.D. 410): "It is certain that all men of Noah's time perished, except those who merited to be in the Ark, which was a figure of the Church. Likewise, they cannot in any way now be saved who are aliens from the Apostolic Faith and the Catholic Church" (De Lect. Evangel)
Bishop Niceta of Remesiana (died A.D. 415): "He is the Way along which we journey to our salvation; the Truth, because He rejects what is false; the Life, because He destroys death. ...All who from the beginning of the world were, or are, or will be justified - whether Patriarchs, like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or Prophets, whether Apostles or martyrs, or any others - make up one Church, because they are made holy by one faith and way of life, stamped with one Spirit, made into one Body whose Head, as we are told, is Christ. I go further. The angels and virtues and powers in heaven are co-members in this one Church, for, as the Apostle teaches us, in Christ `all things whether on the earth or in the heavens have been reconciled.' You must believe, therefore, that in this one Church you are gathered into the Communion of Saints. You must know that this is the one Catholic Church established throughout the world, and with it you must remain in unshaken communion. There are, indeed, other so called `churches' with which you can have no communion. ...These `churches' cease to be holy, because they were deceived by the doctrines of the devil to believe and behave differently from what Christ commanded and from the tradition of the Apostles." (The Fathers of the Church)
Saint Jerome (died A.D. 420): "As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is, with the Chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the Church is built. ...This is the Ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish when the flood prevails. ...And as for heretics, I have never spared them; on the contrary, I have seen to it in every possible way that the Church's enemies are also my enemies." (Manual of Patrology and History of Theology)
"Therefore, I believe it is good for me to praise the Chair and Faith of peter: with you alone remains uncorrupted the inhereitance of the Fathers. As I follow no one but Christ, so do I therefore unite myself with Your Holiness, that is, with the Chair of Peter. Whoever eats the Lamb outside this House is profane; whoever is not in this Ark of Noah will perish in the Flood; whoever does not gather with thee scatters; that is: he who is not Christ's is Antichrist's." (To Pope Damasus, Epistle 15)
Saint Augustine (died A.D. 430): "No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing alleluia, one can answer amen, one can have faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and preach it too, but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church." (Sermo ad Caesariensis Ecclesia plebem)
"So certain and so clear is the Catholic Faith as expressed in the words of the Apostolic See, so ancient and so well-extablished, that it would be a sacrilege for any Christian to doubt!" (Faith of the Early Fathers)
"There is nothing a Christian should dread more than to be separated from the Body of Christ, for if he is separated from the Body, he is not one of His Members. If he is not a member of Christ, then he does not live by His Spirit. "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ," says the Apostle, "he is none of His" (Romans 8:9) ... Do you also wish to live by the Spirit of Christ? Then belong to the Body of Christ. No one ascends into Heaven except him who remains glued to Christ, for "no man hath ascended into Heaven except Him Who alone descended from Heaven: the Son of man Who is in Heaven" (John 3:13). Do you want to ascend, too? Then become a member of Him Who alone ascends! For He, the Head, is one man with the other members ... If, then, the Body of Christ and its members belong to "one man," do not make two of them ... He is the Bridegroom Who is the Head, the Bride is he who is in the Body. For "they two," He said, "shall be in one flesh" (Mt. 19:5-6) ... And since no one can ascend into Heaven but him who has become His member in His Body, the saying is fulfilled that "no man ascends to Heaven except Him Who descended" ... What do these words mean if not that no man ascends into heaven who has not been made one with Him and, as a member, become hidden within the Body of Him who has descended from Heaven? And what is that Body if not the Church?" (Treatise on John)
"Everyone God teaches, He teaches out of pity; but whomever He does not teach, He does not teach them out of justice ... The saving grace of this religion, the only true one, through which alone true salvation is truly promised, has never been refused anyone who was worthy of it; and whoever did lack it was unworthy of it. Consequently, those who have not heard the Gospel, and those who, having heard it, have refused to come to Christ, that is, to believe in Him ... all of these have perished in death; they all go in one lump into condemnation." (Predestination of the Saints; Admonition and Grace)
St. Patrick (died A.D. 493): "Not without just cause does the Apostle say: 'Where the righteous shall scarcely be saved, where shall the sinner and the ungodly transgressor of the law find himself?' (1Peter 4:18). The Words are not mine, but God's and the Apostle's and Prophet's who have never lied: "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned' (Mk 16:16). God hath spoken!" (The Writings of St. Patrick)
Saint Fulgentius (died A.D. 533): "Hold most firmly and never doubt at all that not only pagans, but also all Jews, all heretics, and all schismatics who finish this life outside of the Catholic Church, will go into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." (Enchiridion Patristicum)
"No one can be saved by any means outside the Church; all pagans and heretics are infallibly damned ... Anyone who is outside the Church is walking a path not to Heaven but to Hell. He is not approaching the home of eternal life; rather, he is hastening to the torment of eternal death." ("On the Faith of Peter" and "The Forgiveness of Sins")
"Anyone who is out of this Church is walking a path not to heaven, but to hell. He is not getting closer to the home of eternal life; on the contrary, he is hurrying to the torments of eternal death. And this is the case not only if he remains a pagan without Baptism, but even if, after having been Baptized, he continue as a heretic" (To Euthymius, on the Remission of Sins)
Saint Bede the Venerable (died A.D. 735): "Just as all within the ark were saved and all outside of it were carried away when the flood came, so when all who are pre-ordained to eternal life have entered the Church, the end of the world will come and all will perish who are found outside." (Hexaemeron)
"He who will not willingly and humbly enter the gate of the Church will certainly be damned and enter the gate of hell whether he wants to or not!" (cf. Sermon 16; PL94:129)
LOL! It is as I thought.
The Gemera, Josephus, Seneca, Tacticus, Pliny the Elder, Suetonius, and many others... All are not credible? Their silence on the matter of the highly structured Papist faith speaks volumes.
It is not the method; it is the very acting on a desire to be more than this earthly existence offers through practice of 'religion' is what I am concerned with.
Do either of you think God cares about this? Does Jesus?
I got pinged. This is the first time I've opened one of the "Radio Replies" threads. (I read the books when I was in late grade school—forty years ago.)
If you don't want to get into fights, just ignore the threads. Seriously. The Moderation Nazis will take care of it if it gets out of hand.
Ah, my error in having primarily the Church Fathers in mind, since it's from them that I draw most of my proof for the existence of the Catholic church because they were the most interested in writing about it.
Indeed some the above wrote about Christianity but why would they be interested in giving a detailed account about it? I.e. Josephus who was writing about the history of the Jews, Seneca, a Stoic philosopher...
While we are opposed in our alignment, surely you must understand the danger of accepting a condition where any entity is allowed to define itself - As SnakeDoc rightly declared, it "creates something of a feedback loop."
In my travels through history, much like yourself, I could find no real evidence of a structured church until late 200AD - In fact, the modern writers you quoted were quoting primarily 300AD+ sources...
Not that ALL Roman Catholic sources are impeachable - Eusebius (I think) quoted Thallus, another quoted Phragon, both first century sources... But these (Thallus, Phragon) bring no evidence of priests and robes, popes and crosiers to the game.
(Bear in mind that I am a fan of Eusebius, primarily because of his known access to the Alexandrian Library)
I am more likely to take the offhand remarks of neutral parties, or even critics, as evidence before I would take the machinations of the party in question itself - Especially when that entity has the power to rewrite history - which is a proper position to take.
As an example, If one sees history outside of what Rome may have been able to manipulate, James the Just (Jesus' brother) is the notable successor to Jesus.
As another example, an early sect which the Roman church despised (as they are critical, I pay attention) - The Nazarenes - were visible into the fourth century, when the Roman Church assumed the name. These folks, for all that the Roman church hated them, followed Christ's path more closely, embracing God's Holy Days and Hebrew (not Judaism) traditions, while accepting Christ's message. A completely different path than the Roman church subscribed to, and by then, demanded.
The mystery of iniquity walked the halls of the Church even in Paul's day - He saw it happening then. Therefore, no historic church has the convenience of resting on it's holy laurels - Proof of claim is even made more necessary - And that proof is not there.
What evidence do you have that Catholics are picking a fight lately?
It seems to me that Catholics are posting as they always have. Gonzo has been posting these three classic books, bit-by-bit, for months and months.
Then don't read the threads.
You wrote:
"The Gemera, Josephus, Seneca, Tacticus, Pliny the Elder, Suetonius, and many others... All are not credible? Their silence on the matter of the highly structured Papist faith speaks volumes."
No, it doesn't. If you look, you'll see more than you might think. Pliny, for instance, makes reference to deaconesses and apparently to the sacrament of the altar (without realizing it). Many people today forget that Acts itself speaks of bishops (Apostles), presbyters (priests) and deacons. That in itself implies a highly structured church on the episcopal level. Also, Pliny makes clear that even after more than 70 years the Romans still did not understand what Christianity was about, who was involved or how it worked on the ground (maybe "underground" should be the word used there). Christians were often secretive. The Romans couldn't write about what they didn't know.
I'm with you guys. Do catholics really want to go 'there'?
I am not offended so much as I am curious as to the motive.
Every time I have seen a dispute it has been started by an individual of the Catholic persuasion that has ignited the fire by;
A.) claiming superiority over others
B,) Claiming their deceased loved ones who died in sin have a second chance after death
C.) Claiming that James, Peter, Paul, and other men the Catholics have promoted, for various reasons to Sainthood, now have equal same power of intercession with God as Christ does.
D.) Claiming that somehow a mere mortal woman is now elevated to the status of God with Christ.
I would offer other reasons, but the list of violations by the Catholic Church that go directly against Christ's completed works on the cross and resurrection are actually longer then what I refer to as the Constitution of Christianity He offered in the sermon on the mount. Your adherence to traditions invalidate the word of God. You offer the word of men who wrote great works of theological discourse no doubt, yet they are but men, not God.
The Cannon is closed, to add to it is a sin. So anything outside of the word of God cannot replace nor refute His Son's teachings. The Catholic Church is like the elders of Judaism whom Jesus ran against while He walked amongst us. You would rather believe that the traditions of your Church are what saves the souls of men. Rather it is the sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection from death of our almighty God, Christ Himself who saves the souls of men. Not a membership in a quasi political gathering of men stuck on traditions made by mere mortals, many of which are probably languishing in hell as we speak because of their self importance over God.
I guess it would be only expected then that some Protestants will begin posting works of theological writings that have destroyed the Catholic faith so resoundingly that the Catholic Church needed to create a whole department just to defend their heretical practices.
The Catholic Church depends upon signs, wonders, and traditions of the Church along with the supposed infallible wisdom from the Pope for the salvation of their members.
I count on the blood of Christ for mine. No more, no less. Foolish yes, but to men the wisdom of God is foolish. In that I put my faith.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
You wrote:
"A.) claiming superiority over others"
What is true and sent by God is superior to what is false or partly false and sent by man alone.
"B,) Claiming their deceased loved ones who died in sin have a second chance after death"
Catholics don't teach that. Can you please post evidence for that claim?
"C.) Claiming that James, Peter, Paul, and other men the Catholics have promoted, for various reasons to Sainthood, now have equal same power of intercession with God as Christ does."
Again, Catholics don't teach that. Can you please post evidence for that claim?
"D.) Claiming that somehow a mere mortal woman is now elevated to the status of God with Christ."
Again, Catholics don't teach that. Can you please post evidence for that claim?
One of your points is a misunderstanding - perhaps based upon hurt feelings? - on your part. The other three are just outrageous untruths that Catholics do not teach and have never taught.
Attack us all you like, but at least attack us for what we actually teach and believe and not for untruths that you have made up.
I never approved of a schism, nor will I approve of it for all eternity. . . . That the Roman Church is more honored by God than all others is not to be doubted. St, Peter and St. Paul, forty-six Popes, some hundreds of thousands of martyrs, have laid down their lives in its communion, having overcome Hell and the world; so that the eyes of God rest on the Roman church with special favor. Though nowadays everything is in a wretched state, it is no ground for separating from the Church. On the contrary, the worse things are going, the more should we hold close to her, for it is not by separating from the Church that we can make her better. We must not separate from God on account of any work of the devil, nor cease to have fellowship with the children of God who are still abiding in the pale of Rome on account of the multitude of the ungodly. There is no sin, no amount of evil, which should be permitted to dissolve the bond of charity or break the bond of unity of the body. For love can do all things, and nothing is difficult to those who are united.
Martin Luther to Pope Leo X, January 6, 1519 more than a year after the Ninety-Five Theses quoted in The Facts about Luther, 356
Repeated hogwash is still hogwash. Protestants declare that the objective standard for any discussion is an unconditional acceptance of Sola Scripture which the Catholic Church rejects. The Bible, as wonderful as it is, does not contain 100% of the revealed Word. Declaring so is to obsolete the presence ans role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and elevates those 16th century heretics who corrupted the Scripture to the status of Apostles.
The comment about the role of the Pope is just plain ignorant. The whole purpose of the Church is to educate, serve and facilitate ones personal salvation.
Protestant do not deny the Catholic church as a historical entity — so evidence of the historical basis of the sacraments, heirarchy, etc. does not seem to be germane. We are aware they existed for a while ... we think they are wrong.
Protestants typically deny that the Catholic church — particularly since the Protestant reformation — is endowed with any specific exclusivity as the church of Christ. We also deny that any person or entity is endowed with infallibility of any kind. Historical evidence cannot address these objections, so is unlikely to be even remotely persuasive to a Protestant.
Denial of reality is not a good basis for religious truths. We suggest you don't do it. We don't.
It is germane if you make the link back to the apostles and therefore Christ himself, because Christ said he would be with his Church forever and it would be free from teaching error.
If you find the historical Church you find the security of God's protection over it.

Thompson Hospital recently joined a groundbreaking national project, through the New York State Partnership for Patients.
The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) is behind the Partnership, which is part of a movement across the country to reduce hospital-acquired conditions by 40 percent and preventable re-admissions by 20 percent. As part of the partnership, Thompson will work with more than 170 other hospitals across New York to enhance organizational capacity for quality improvement (QI) while simultaneously working on a series of patient safety and QI initiatives.
The Partnership for Patients focuses on five core clinical domains:
· Building Culture and Leadership
· Nursing-Centered Initiatives
· Infection Prevention
· Preventable Re-admissions
· Obstetrical Safety
Thompson Director of Quality and Safety Kiera Champlin-Kuhn says each of these domains reflect Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' initiatives calling for a substantial portion of hospital reimbursement to be tied directly to safety and other measures of the quality of care they deliver.
"What's great is that these five goals also align with Thompson's five existing strategic aims," she says, adding, "The value to Thompson in joining the NYS Partnership for Patients is that it facilitates collaboration with many other hospitals, giving us an edge in identifying innovative ideas that will improve our patient care."

By RYAN PEACOCKSports Reporter
Emery High's softball team had a tough draw in the state tournament last weekend and was eliminated in two straight games 10-0 to Judge and 7-1 to Pine View.
The Spartans faced one of the best pitchers in the state Thursday when they played Judge Memorial Catholic High School.
Unfortunately for Emery, Judge's pitcher threw maybe her best game ever. She not only shut out the Spartans, but she threw a perfect game, not allowing even one batter on base. She recorded 11 strikeouts against the 15 people she faced. Judge won the game 10-0 in five innings.
Friday the Lady Spartans faced Pine View and got off to an early start.
After Holly Bell threw a perfect first inning, Emery loaded the bases with a hit by Tina Ward and walks by Cortni Jensen and Bell. But nothing came of the threat and the runners were stranded.
That was the theme for Emery the rest of the game: missed opportunities.
Pine View scored three runs in the second but Emery had another chance in the bottom of that inning. Another hit by Ward and walks by Amber Gardner and Brandi Jensen loaded the bases again. But the runners failed to score again.
In the bottom of the third Emery finally broke through when Cortni Jensen led off with a walk and three consecutive base hits scored her. The hits were by Bell, Stacie Giles, and Michelle Johansen.
But just when Emery seemed poised for a big inning it all crumbled on a line drive. The drive was caught, the Panther player stepped on her base and threw to home in time to complete a triple play.
Emery didn't get another player on base the rest of the game.
They missed their opportunities early and had none late. The Spartans fell in their last game 7-1.
This marks the third year in a row Emery has met Judge in the state tournament and the Spartans are 0-3.
Softball is over for this year and the Spartans will miss players like Ward, Bell, and Brandi Jensen, but prospects are good for next year with several starters returning.

- About the brand
Clearogen Acne Lotion is light weight, shine free moisturizer that protects the skin by reducing redness, irritation while clarifying the pore. Clearogen lotion clears existing acne and helps prevent future breakouts before they surface on the skin, leaving skin softer and smoother.
Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, Deionized Water, Gamma Linolenic Acid, Alpha Linolenic Acid, Oleic Acid, Saw Palmetto Extract, Beta Sitosterol, Green Tea Catechin, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dicetyl Phosphate, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Glycine Soja (Soy) Sterols, Aloe Vera Gel, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Mallow Peppermint Leaf, Primula, Veris Extract, Imperata Cylindrica Extract, Phospholipid, Comfrey Extract, Indian Plantin, Wheat Hydrolysate Extract, Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E), Neem Extract, Fragrance, Chamomile Extract, Xanthan Gum, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Sulfur, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Disodium EDTA, Retinoic Acid.
Use once daily. After cleansing and toning, apply acne lotion over the entire face.
Created by board certified dermatologist, Alex Khadavi MD, Clearogen is designed to help control and treat acne in 3 easy steps. This collection includes a cleanser, toner and lotion that work to inhibit DHT, a hormone that causes excess oil. Clearogen kills bacteria and soothes infection for smooth, clear skin.
Worked For Me...I am 29 and have suffered from acne since I was a young teen. I kept waiting for my hormones to balance out, expecting that to happen sometime in high school/college like most girls but no such luck. I started using Proactiv with relative success around age 22 and used that until probably age 27. After I had a baby I just didn't feel like it was working anymore. I came across this and thought I would give it a try.
This probably took about 3 months to really start working (it's expensive and is good at keeping my skin from drying out so I kept using it since nothing else seemed to work either). I noticed an immediate change in my acne so I knew it was having some effect. My zits just behaved differently (more tiny white heads in my T-zone, fewer large zits but the ones I had took forever to pop). It is hard to explain but that was my experience- my face didn't magically clear up but my acne was different so I knew it was doing something. But again it is a really good moisturizer so I kept using it since it was so expensive to purchase. A moisturized, zitty face was better than a dry, zitty face.
Then over time I just noticed my skin was clearer and clearer. I still have the occassional breakout but much much more manageable than before. And my skin is more hydrated using this than it ever was with Proactiv.
My current routine both morning and night that has been working is Clean & Clear Continuous Acne Control face wash, then Witch Hazel as my toner, then Clearogen moisturizer.
I have been using the same bottle of lotion for about 3 and 1/2 months now. So if you are disciplined and use only the amount you need that really lowers the cost. $32 for a bottle of lotion that last 4-5 months but actually works is better than constantly trying new products with no effect.

Shocked From EffectsAfter reading the reviews i thought that i found a product that would work at last! However, after using this lotion for 2 days the skin on my face became red and looked as if someone poured acid over it. It took two weeks for my skin to recover from redness and dryness. It did nothing to clear any pimples. My only savior in this situation was moisturizing shea butter. Be careful if you have sensitive skin!Nov 25, 2010Joanna / USA

I Can't Believe That I Finally Found SomethingI absolutely LOVE this lotion. It is very effective. I have moderate acne; however, it is combined with a mild case of cystic acne. This helps manage my pore size. Even with somewhat clear skin, I was never able to run my finger over my forehead and feel a clear spot that wasn't bumpy. This product has also reduced the redness in scars that some cystic pimples left behind. My only regret is not finding this product until literally a week after my wedding.Jan 7, 2010Amanda / NJ

After several visits to different dermatologists and spending hundreds of dollars; I came across Clearogen acne lotion. Wow! my face is finally back to normal and I'm enjoying wearing make-up again. This is a very effective product with no drying or stinging involved.Dec 9, 2009Angela / Greenville, SC

Love The Moisturizer!This is the best product in the Clearogen line. Im an avid clearogen user and this is by far the best acne lotion Ive ever used! I put it on at night and by morning my skin is smooth, soft and the lumps under my skin (pimples trying to form) are gone. Its like an on the spot acne treatment but its for the whole face. It does so much more than just prevent pimples, it actually improves the texture of your skin. I could rave more about this lotion but Ill leave it up to other folica users to try.Jan 4, 2007April / Seattle, WA

Skip to comments.Cruz: I Will Speak About Defunding Obamacare Until I Am Unable To Stand
Posted on 09/24/2013 12:16:55 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) Sen. Ted Cruz began a filibuster Tuesday with the intent of defunding the Affordable Care Act, known also as Obamacare.
The Texas Republican noted while on the Senate floor, I intend to speak about defunding ObamaCare until I am unable to stand.
Cruz additionally asserted that Democrats are not listening to their constituents in regards to the health care law, which is set to take effect Oct. 1.
I rise today in opposition to ObamaCare in an effort to speak for 26 million Texans and 300 million Americans, Cruz asserted. It is time quite frankly to make D.C. listen.
(Excerpt) Read more at washington.cbslocal.com ...
Cruz: CSPAN-2 Live
I stand with Ted!
only 300 million Americans?
He left out illegals! Oh Noze.
#MakeDCListen on twitter now
Levin is following the filibuster, Sen Cruz has an aide twitting key phrases.
God's speed Senator Ted Cruz, God's speed.
Filibuster watch PING!
He's trying to save the country and it's too bad the RINO party doesn't stand with him.
Representing 6 million Texans, unlike Cornyn.
Linda Graham, Juan McNut definitely not.
You got that right. I hope Cornyn's getting a flood of email.
No he included the illegals otherwise he would have said 20 million.
Every single thing I hear from this guy raises my estimation of him....and it was already very high.
Compared to the corruptocratican machine, he probably doesn't have enough standwidth.
But it's a noble try.
"Content temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later." What's up with C-SPAN?
What a beautiful pair.
Try here
Cruz and his staff are being told be me and thousands of others that Cornyn isn't answering any of his lines at any of his offices.
He didn't forget about the catheter and back brace did he?
Wait it out, it takes about 15 sec for the program to load.
1957 record: Strom Thurmond, 24.3 hours, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act..!
As a constituent of his, I'm getting ready to send him one, been trying to tone it down before I do.
I'm thinking "Take a look on the Senate floor and educate yourself about being a MAN and being a PATRIOT."
Anyone have a way to put this? Its sort of what I want to say.
Let's all remember that David Dewhurst would not be doing this. We need to replace as many people as we can in the senate next year.
From Rinse Pre-Bus:
"In a fight between Harry Reid and Ted Cruz, I will stand with Ted Cruz any day."
Yeah, right. Standing along with David Brooks, Rove, McConnell, McPain and Linda.
On now.
Good for Ted. He must have not listened to turncoat Cornyn to sit down and shut up.
I just wish he had a relief pitcher to hold the floor for him when he needs to rest. Some senator who reads this forum, show up and stand in. Please.
I remember the movie "Breaking Away", where the main kid was a very good bike racer. All he needed to finish and win the 50 mile race around a stadium track, virtually at sprint speed, were three other bumpkins who could pedal in a straight line for just a lap or two.
Cruz is experiencing a Holy Spirit anointing to speak in compelling, diligent, printable prose, without notes.
Go, Ted!
I like it. I think I'll "borrow it" and send it along to add to the others I've sent him.
As a constituent of his, I'm getting ready to send him one, been trying to tone it down before I do.
I'm thinking Take a look on the Senate floor and educate yourself about being a MAN and being a PATRIOT.
Anyone have a way to put this? Its sort of what I want to say.
How about "Grow a pair?"
I think Sen. Lee is there.
He's on his own when filibustering, until he cannot stand or speak any more. On the positive side, he takes the credit for bringing his cause to the forefront for the American people.
I just wish he had Reed (sick!) to hold a relief pitcher to empty his bladder as the occasion arises.
But, alas, Hairy (again, Sicko!) is not worthy of such an honor.
How do we get to see how many empty seats are in the chamber?
I think I'll call my two Georgia senators and ask where they are today.
Great! Let's all make calls and ask if they're watching or on the floor.
Dingy Harry right there too, ready to stab Ted Cruz in the back.
He's trying to prevent the destruction by Soviet style nationalization of one sixth of American economy! Educate the sheeple!
He is the most heroic man of our lives. Courageous to a fault.
Pray America is Waking UP
We all need to pray for his health and well being.
DoWorst and Cornyn would be backslapping because they fooled the fools again.
Hear,hear! Too.
I stand with Ted.
Amen! May He keep Sen Cruz and cover him with His protection.
Well, at least it is Tuesday, as opposed to being post Thursday @ High Noon, when many hit the road.
I think that's Grassley. He may not take part but is not one of the backstabbers.

On July 16 rain in Huntington Canyon caused flooding in the Old Folks Flat area and SR-31 was closed at Crandall Canyon.
The Utah Department of Transportation worked on the road and that time and it was reopened on July 17.
Another storm closed the canyon again and it remained closed until Saturday.
The rocks and debris were cleared from the road, but a trouble spot at Horse Canyon was discovered.
The water from Huntington Creek was undercutting the road at Horse Canyon.
A detour was constructed by UDOT which brings the west bound traffic into the eastbound lane and the westbound traffic diverts onto a new section where the road has been built up alongside the main road.
Water coming down Huntington Creek washed mud, rocks and debris onto the road.
The Huntington Creek is running high and is black with water runoff from off the burn area.
There was also water flowing over the North Cleveland road in the valley and flooding was experienced when a large amount of rain came down in a short period of time.
The Huntington Creek ran three feet higher than average during the flooding episodes.

Stock Merve shafts are not so great.... I've gone through prob 8 of them.The yoke gives out or the pin that hold the wheel stud( I guess that's a good name for it)cuts the yoke apart. But they are cheap, and that's what I'm going to continue running untell something better comes around.
I also have broke 8 GPM steel shafts. But we all know they are junk. (I didn't when I bought them ). Good thing 4 of them where free replacments.

Skip to comments.Russian Bombers Fly Within 50 Miles of California Coast
Posted on 06/11/2014 7:05:23 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
Four Russian strategic bombers triggered U.S. air defense systems while conducting practice bombing runs near Alaska this week, with two of the Tu-95 Bear H aircraft coming within 50 miles of the California coast, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) confirmed Wednesday.
The last time we saw anything similar was two years ago on the Fourth of July, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Norad spokesman, told the Free Beacon.
Davis said the latest Bear H incursions began Monday around 4:30 p.m. Pacific time when radar detected the four turbo-prop powered bombers approaching the U.S. air defense zone near the far western Aleutian Islands.
Two U.S. Air Force F-22 jets were scrambled and intercepted the bombers over the Aleutians.
After tracking the bombers as they flew eastward, two of the four Bears turned around and headed west toward the Russian Far East. The bombers are believed to be based at the Russian strategic base near Anadyr, Russia.
The remaining two nuclear-capable bombers then flew southeast and around 9:30 pm entered the U.S. northern air defense zone off the coast of Northern California.
Two U.S. F-15 jets were deployed and intercepted the bombers as they eventually flew within 50 miles of the coast before turning around and heading west.
A defense official said the four bombers also were supported by two IL-78 aerial refueling tankers that were used for mid-air refueling during the operation this week.
The Tu-95 is a long-range strike aircraft capable of carrying nuclear cruise missiles. Other versions are equipped with intelligence-gathering sensors and electronic warfare gear. It has a range of around 9,400 miles without refueling.
Davis said the aircraft acted professionally and the bombers appeared to be conducting a training mission.
They typically do long range aviation training in the summer and it is not unusual for them to be more active during this time, he said. We assess this was part of training. And they did not enter territorial airspace.
The bomber incursion is the latest Russian nuclear saber-rattling amid stepped up tensions over Moscows military annexation of Ukraines Crimea.
Rep. Mike Conaway (R., Texas), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, called the Russian flights intentional provocations.
Putin is doing this specifically to try to taunt the U.S. and exercise, at least in the reported world, some sort of saber-rattling, muscle-flexing kind of nonsense, Conaway said in an interview. Truth of the matter is we would have squashed either one of those [bombers] like baby seals.
Its a provocation and its unnecessary. But it fits in with [Putins] macho kind of saber-rattling, he said, adding that he expects Russia will carry out more of these kinds of incidents in the future.
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, a former Alaska commander for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said he does not remember a case of Russian strategic bombers coming that close to the U.S. coast.
Again we see the Obama administration through their covertbut overt to Mr. Putinunilateral disarmament, inviting adventurism by the Russians, McInerney said in an email.
At the height of the Cold War I do not remember them getting this close. Mr. Putin had to approve this mission and he is just showing his personal contempt for President Obama right after meeting him in Normandy less than a week ago, McInerney said.
McInerney said no American president has been treated with such disrespect in U.S. history.
A sad day indeed and at the same time Mosul and Tikrit [Iraq] fall to radical Islamists after the Obama administrations failed Iraq policy, he added. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.
The Alaska-California bombers flight also came a month after a Russian Su-27 interceptor jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft flying over the Sea of Okhotsk, north of Japan.
In that incident on April 23, the Su-27 jet flew close to the RC-135, turned to reveal its air-to-air missiles to the crew, and then flew dangerously close to within 100 feet of the cockpit in a maneuver military officials called reckless.
Davis said in the past 10 years, 50 Bear H bombers were intercepted near U.S. air defense zone, although he acknowledged that Mondays flight near California was unusual.
In April, a telephone conversation between two Russian ambassadors was posted on YouTube and appeared to show the diplomats joking about the Ukraine crisis and discussing the possible incursions in the United States and Eastern Europe.
The leaked conversation between Igor Nilokaevich Chubarov and Sergey Viktorovich Bakharev, Russian ambassadors to the African nations Eritrea and Zimbabwe and Malawi, respectively, includes references to post-Crimea Russian imperialism to include Eastern Europe and Californialand and Miamiland.
Russian Bear H flights elsewhere have increased in recent years.
In February 2013, two of the bombers were intercepted as they circled the U.S. Pacific island of Guam, in a rare long-range incursion.
Two Bear Hs also were intercepted near Alaska on April 28, 2013.
A Russian Bear H incursion in Asia took place in in July 2013 when two Tu-95s were intercepted by Japanese and South Korean jets near the Korean peninsula and Japans northern Hokkaido Island.
The July 4, 2012 bomber flights near the West Coast were the first time since the Cold War that Russian jets has traveled so close to the U.S. coastline.
That action followed an earlier intrusion by Tu-95s near Alaska that were part of large-scale strategic nuclear exercises by the Russians aimed at practicing strikes on enemy air defenses.
Russia has stepped up provocative nuclear war games in recent years as part of propaganda efforts to display Moscows dislike of U.S. missile defenses in Europe.
Pretty soon they'll be dropping food packages to the starving victims of the Baraqqi Depression.
At that range they could fire off stand off weapons and destroy every makor city in California.
There'll be few people to drop them to once the La Raza gangs storming our border become roaming Mad Max gangs
50 miles is within range of smelling the Mexican and Chinese food.
Rubbing obama's and our noses.
"At that range they could fire off stand off weapons and destroy every major city in California."
Won't happen... the Mexican government doesn't want it's future state damaged.
If it was a civilian airliner that close to Russia they would have shot it down no questions asked.
did we shoot them down and have to explain an international incedent?
Probing response.
In a real fight wouldn't they use subs instead? Can't see them coming; bigger booms.

This isn't the 60's. If we wanted to vaporize these guys we could have at any point, and they know it. Fun games, but if it ever gets real, it won't be fun anymore.

"Uhh... What must stop, Mr. Prezidunt?"

"You... get what... Mr. Prezidunt?"
(soft laugh) "Hey, I don't blame you. I mean... I know what I mean to the world. It's only natural that such a hetero-masculine guy like yourself would be... well... drawn to me."
(long pause) "Drawn? .... Mr. Prezidunt?"
"Look, Vladi... I know these so-called fly-bys are just ... well... just your own special way of telling me how you feel about me."
"Ahhh... well, yes... you could phrase it that way. I suppose."
(laugh) "Just want you to know, that I understand what you're saying. And I don't think less of you for it. And neither does Michelle."
(long pause) "You are -- how you say -- most understanding, Mr. Prezidunt."
No. Please. Not Pelosi's house. Anything but that...
Don't worry though. Our territory is protected by a firm patented #Obamaredline

Barry's plan for a "fundamentally transformed" America has really come together.
How did der Bamaschnitzel respond?

That will occur AFTER Obama takes the guns in an Australian type gun confiscation...

Wouldn't matter where the servers are hosted, if such a scenario were to be realized the Internet would be toast.
I can see Russian planes from my house - wonder if the California sophisticates are laughing now.....
Is 'freebeacon' a legit site, or more like infowars?
They know they can get away with doing this. Unbelievable.
Isn't it true that you can hear a TU-95 departing Russia all the way from Sarah Palin's house in Alaska ?
Rumor has it that the Tu-95's huge counterrotating propellers are so loud that it can be heard approaching long before it appears on radar. Urban myth. They're loud, check out youtube, but not THAT loud.
Anyway, the Russians could be probing us with Swordfish biplanes & still present a threat. Our defenses have been thoroughly compromised by this administration.
You poke the bear, he pokes back. Very simple if you understand the Russian psyche. This is the bears response to deploying B2's to England. Just letting you know, if those B2's kill any Russians, the bear will kill Californians.
Oooooh. Another incident where obamass could draw another red line.

"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
What was the point, or the purpose of this chapter...........
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
i'm confuse...
what the hell the kyuubi are talking about??
i mean the part about the war, hatred, naruto becoming more like nagato and such?? i believe this war are between the alliance who is basically all the normal people in the naruto-verse against akatsuki, who only consist of maybe 2-3 real living people who seems doesnt have any family and bunch of zombie plus thousands clone!!!!
there wont be any long life hatred after the war!!!! i mean if those allience army get killed yes there love one will be angry, but only towards those clone and a bunch of criminal who it seems has no family!!!
this war are not even close to what nagato and co endure back then, where the hatred spread after the war!!!
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..."
"Knowledge is power"
So really, it all comes down to Naruto getting Sasuke to see the light, redeeming him, and then taking down Madara. When you think about it, Sasuke's the one who really has to battle against hatred, because the entire Shinobi world is going to be hating him at this point, while Naruto is a hero. Madara also has to fight against the entire Shinobi world's hatred, even if he brought it on himself. And he fights back with his own hatred. Maybe that will be the difference between him and Sasuke; Sasuke will be able to set aside his hatred, and fight against Madara alongside Naruto in friendship. That will be what allows the world to defeat Madara (because we all know the only chance of beating him is the epic Naruto/Sasuke tag-team!), and it'll be what allows Sasuke to be redeemed and truly "overcome" hatred, both his own and others'.
It's hard to believe that the Shinobi all really went along with the plan. The Raikage was unanimously chosen as leader of the Alliance... the Cloud Village was responsible for numerous dirty deeds, such as the incident with the Hyuga clan. The Raikage was the one in charge of all that. He gave the orders. We don't know that the Cloud village has any sort of ROOT-esque division, because they've been more open about their militaristic outlook; is that really something the villages can rally behind? I know the Raikage seems like a fairly cool guy to us, outside of all his growling and table-smashing, but that's because we've only seem him fight Sasuke. What about when he ordered Kushina to be kidnapped for the purpose of obtaining either her special chakra (through what? forced breeding? transplanting her limbs?) or the Kyuubi (which they had no reason to believe wouldn't kill her).
http://mangastream.com/read/naruto/42035636/5 Badass, although really a whole chapter for this? Well guess he really wanted to point this harmony thing out. Like Rling mentioned it'll probably be used later on during Naruto vs Sasuke.
Didn't expect to see a talk between kyubi and Naruto. Was kyubi really trying to win Naruto over, or was it something different ? He was angry at Naruto's ignorance, he spoken like a person who once tried the same thing but failed. Although being the point of hatred for generations could turn him like this as well.
The spar etiquette will probably be used and the fact that it was shown, may suggest it will be soon.
This is possibly one of the worst chapters kishi ever produced. I couldn't have been more disappointed. There are so many things we were supposed to see and Kishi shows us this bullshit which we have seen 100000X already.
What happen to the Edo Hosts?
What happen to Muu, Onoki, Gaara?
What happen to Kakashi and the swordsmen?
What happen to Itachi/Nagato?
All i can think since last chap is: HOW CAN KAKASHI ENDURE THIS MUCH TIME WITH SHARINGAN AND RAMPAGING WITH KUBIKIRIBOCHO?
It wasn't quite what I was expecting for this week but I think it's laying the ground work for something awesome. It's good to see Naruto's relationship with the kyuubi is continuing to develop. For a while it seemed like the kyuubi wouldn't be seen chit chatting with Naruto after he was pinned defeated and pinned down with help from Kushina.
Im sure all the Sasuke fanboys and fangirls will be delighted to have seen him again even if its only flashback. It could even be next week that Sasuke gets thrown into battle with his new eyes ready to wreak havoc.

You didn't think I was going to submit a tutorial on a realistic cat, and not do a lesson on a realistic dog did you? After the cuteness spilled from the cat, I knew I had to draw a realistic dog too. I sketched out this lovable pet while I was live yesterday, and it was wicked fun. I love drawing for you guys, and I especially like it when I have the live-cam on too. It's feels like I'm interacting with you all. Anyway, this sketch took me about two hours to draw using just color, and strokes. Instead of making a sketch first of a realistic dog, I decided to just digitally paint the pooch instead. Even though there is no sketch for the main thumbnail or image, I still sketched out some awesome tips, and a nice version of a realistic dog witch happens to be a German Shepherd. I chose the Shepherd because I myself have two of these dogs. I have an all black one, and a silver and black one. I like my black GSD better because he is so bold, and majestic, and he reminds me of Anubis. The female is more like a nanny, which makes her sorta of boring. This lesson includes extra tips, some sketches of how the yes of a dog looks different with three separate views, and different shapes of dogs heads to help you understand the concept of shapes, and sizes. Instead of putting this tutorial under the advanced difficulty, I'll just label it intermediate, that way there everybody can give this tutorial a go on "how to draw a realistic dog", step by step. The end results will look amazing, especially if you are a big GSD lover. I also have a lesson on how to draw a puppy and a tutorial on how to draw a dog that you can check out as well if you like. I have to depart, but I will return. When I come back I will bring another lesson along with me. Peace peeps, and have fun!

Personally, I think there's a strong chance Naruto and Sasuke will both die in the end. Sasuke will be redeemed by his actions in the final battle (after losing to Naruto prior to that), but I don't see their bloodlines continuing beyond them. I think a major thing Kishi's been getting at, especially recently, is that the Rikudou left behind Ninjutsu, entrusted to his two bloodlines, to leave his protection help humanity mature. However, the Ninjutsu system and the existence of such powerful techniques is now simply perpetuating hatred, and the "bad guys" are all scrambling to collect all the pieces of what the Rikudou left behind. Rather than being the hero's Rinnegan facing the evil Juubi, it is now only Naruto, a Jinchuuriki, who is capable of fending off evil Doujutsu users and protecting humanity. Things have come full circle; together, Naruto and Sasuke have the powers of both halves of the Rikudou Sage, and it is their job to end the cycle and perish with Tobi/Madara, without leaving behind their powers for others to collect.
I'd like a happier ending, too. However, a major theme in this manga is that it's not how a Shinobi lives, but how he/she dies that is important. In my opinion, it almost would feel incomplete if Naruto himself didn't make an equally heroic sacrifice.
