    It is comforting to know that I can rattle your cage any time I want to. Thinking stuff has family obligations that drew him back to Roman Catholicism which I understand... my family on the other hand advised me to run as far away as I could (and they have been Roman Catholics since Constantine). In one generation my catholic family has rejected the RCC for varied forms of non denominational and denominational ( non catholic ) churches... and my brother and two first cousins are pastors/elders in these churches. And unlike the RCC we don’t go to hell if we don’t step the sacraments like going to hell for not going to mass and Holy Days of Obligation. How liberating it is to have a God who provides saving grace vs sacraments. Thank you Jesus.

    You are really mixed up. The video that you linked twice is from the National Shrine, not EWTN, and that video that you linked is not on the EWTN website. Then you linked EWTN YouTube but you have not linked the Rossi broadcast with an EWTN source. I don't know how to explain it to you any better than that.

    As for your comment about McCarrick, I was talking about the bunch in DC wherein only McCarrick was finally thrown out. Rossi is still there. Wuerl in spite of all of his collaboration with McCarrick and Francis is retired, not disgraced although the high school named after him had their sign with his name destroyed and the high school renamed. How would you like to go to school in a building named for a guy who covered up the rapes of McCarrick? Tobin was passed over but is in New Jersey and was recently in talks with the Governor there about the pandemic for some reason.

    Read your own links. They both say National Shrine. Yes, they were broadcast on EWTN--a homosexual predator preached on EWTN on Good Friday. However, EWTN no longer links it although Rossi has it linked on the National Shrine website where he is in charge. Voris scooped you. You didn't know it. Voris said that it was linked by EWTN but they took down the link and you yourself have not been able to find an EWTN link although you found the broadcast with an internal logo of EWTN but the broadcast that you found was not linked by EWTN but by Rossi and the National Shrine. Voris never said that the National Shrine took their copy of the broadcast down. Voris provided video of his statement as well as a transcript.

    Maybe this will help
    Why Is Msgr. Walter Rossi Still in Public Ministry?

    Ok, let's try this again, since you clearly are not following or pride will not allow you to simply admit you are wrong.

    1. On Good Friday, service was held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. (What you previously referred to as the "Washington Basilica").

    2. This service was live-streamed on the Basilica's website as well as ETWN.

    3. EWTN has multiple media platforms and their majority of their video content is housed on their Youtube channel, which is here ---> EWTN

    4. You claimed EWTN cut the link to their broadcast of the Good Friday service from the "Washington Basilica." They did not, as I have shown you by providing EWTN's LINK (on their Youtube channel) with the full service, beginning with the Stations of the Cross and continuing on to the Good Friday service, which begins at roughly the 1:00 mark. Here it is again...

    --->

    This is from ETWN's site, not the National Shrine's. It says, "Right now on EWTN: Stations of the Cross During the COVID Pandemic and Commemoration of the Lord's Passion, live from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C."

    5. This Rossi person you are seemingly obsessed with is right there. His name is clearly displayed (by EWTN) at the 1:38:59 mark when he begins is homily.

    6. If you don't believe the words of EWTN (stating it is their broadcast), there is further evidence that this broadcast is from ETWN: The logo in the corner of the video...

    [​IMG]


    ...is the EWTN official logo ---> EWTN Global Catholic Television Network: Catholic News, TV, Radio | EWTN


    Pride and now fake news apparently die hard.


    And here is a list of defrocked priests from the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. There's more than McCarrick listed there. Thus he was not the only one thrown out. More of your Fake News refuted.

    Already addressed. Christianity in general is in steep decline both in the United States, Europe, Scandinavia. Baptist churches in our area are 2/3 empty. So are the Lutheran Churches and other Evangelical churches. I can tell you that our church has standing room only at each and every Mass

    I don’t care about the decline of any church... they did it to themselves by not preaching the word, they did not emphasize born again experiences, they treated the laity like attendees at a circus etc. The church I was raised in closed their school 3 years ago, got rid of their homosexual priest and told the bishop to not send them any more homosexual priests... good for them! The Baptist church my brothers family attends also just closed their school. There is going to be a lot of this I’m sure after this virus scare.

    No, that is not right. Sin among professing believers is an abomination. I have never read or heard of any Baptist leader using their position to protect or provide cover for any other Baptist pastors/leaders/workers who are known to sexually abuse young people or engage in sexual relations with other adults other than their spouse.

    Can you truthfully make a similar claim concerning RCC?

    I realize that - as the article stated - I was just pointing out what is going on in the USA

    NO - for the reason stated above

    Negative - according to the article: - there are 6.5 former Catholics in the U.S. for every convert to the faith.

    Thinkingstuff is Catholic because he BELIEVES it is TRUE. I know, I have talked to him at length. I also know you tried to meet with him ' for a beer" and beg him to reconsider. He declined your invitation. Ring a bell?

    You don't Rattle My Cage, partner. Pretty sure it's the other way around!

    In the U.S., there are many, many cultural Catholics who never actually embraced the faith. I don't doubt that they're Easy Pickins for evangelicals, Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses. Lots of cultural Catholics end up as Jehovah Witnesses
    And the United States there are a lot of cultural Catholics that end up in fundamentalist and Cults like LDS and Jehovah Witnesses. Worldwide the conversion rate is about the same between evangelicals and Catholics. I think that many of the conversions that are taking place from Evangelical to Catholic happen through people finally being educated, like myself. I was as rabidly anti-catholic as the worst on this board who I will not name. However, I finally decided to study Catholicism for myself with the intent of proving it to be a cult. Guess what?

    "The more I prayed and studied the Bible, the Church Fathers and history, the more I felt God calling me to be Protestant." - said no one


    It is the poorly formed who are leaving the Church, whereas there is an influx of intellectuals / pastors / theologians from Protestantism who are becoming Catholic. The trend is quite remarkable. Some names that come to mind are Matthew Levering, Douglas Farrow, J. Budziszewski, Christian Smith and Reinhard Hutter. By contrast, can anyone name a Catholic theologian or intellectual who has abandoned his faith for one of the various protestant sects? The fact is those who leave the Church are by and large the uncatechized. One need look no further than the supposed former Catholics who post here, Carm or any other popular online discussion forums. They continuously post strawmen, indicative of them not knowing the faith they supposedly abandoned.

    Here is Dr. Norman Geisler (a Protestant) confirming this trend...

    "So, while we are losing a few intellectual egg-heads out of the top of evangelicalism to Rome, we are gaining tens of thousands of converts out the bottom from Catholicism." - Norman Geisler


    In a strange twist of irony, Dr. Geisler co-wrote a book entitled, Is Rome the True Church? Shortly after its publication, the book's co-author, Joshua Betancourt, himself became Catholic.

    Stations of the Cross was not done by Rossi. You are really out to lunch.

    Fake news! I never claimed Stations of the Cross were done by Rossi. The Good Friday service (commemoration of the Lord's Passion) in the EWTN broadcasted-link begins around the 1:00 mark. And this Rossi person you are so obsessed with is there plain as day at at the 1:38:50 mark.



    Stop with the Fake News!

    There you go again with the video posted by Rossi. I guess that you just don't understand how computers work.
