Anna Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 ryno, Could you please rephrase that, using a couple commas, a period or two, and maybe a question mark? Your statement is unintelligible. Pax Christi. <><
MrsFrozen Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) Hi, Ryno.. I'm having difficulty understanding what you're asking. God bless.. :) Edited January 12, 2004 by MrsFrozen
dUSt Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 ryno, I think it's because we're all so old, and read a lot. Reading is so important to me, because it's where I learn everything I know.
willguy Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 ryno, I'm sensing quite a bit of cynicism. However, for an answer: Partly (maybe mostly), it has to do with the fact that we (meaning Catholics, as I'm gussing that that is the "you" that you are refering to) have 2000 years of knowledge, tradition, Church Doctors, saints, Church Fathers, etc. to draw upon.
phatcatholic Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 i say none of us are smart........but we draw on the intelligence and the truths of Christ's Church and the saints that came before us.
Jake Huether Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 i say none of us are smart........ Speak for yourself! Just kidding. :lol:
phatcatholic Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 hehe......no one here is as smart as you jake! one reason for my earlier comment is that i think catholics occasionally become prideful b/c of the knowledge they have recieved from the Church, and they forget that catholicism is a GIFT. heck, i'm not smart, i'm a freakin sheep, but God has revealed his Truths to me nonetheless. i thank God everyday that He gave me Catholicism. btw, Protestants, is it ok if we catholics just have our little moment here? i really don't feel like debating this.....(although we are in the debate forum, grrrr ) pax christi, phatcatholic
CatholicAndFanatical Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 ryno, Well for most people on here the information is from listening to audio tapes, reading tons of books and doing research and reading everything they can about Catholicism.. but then there are people like me where it just comes naturally :nanny: CatholicAndFanatical
PedroX Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 we kneel in the shadow of God and all the saints peace...

Dave Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 but then there are people like me where it just comes naturally :nanny: cough cough cough cough cough
phatcatholic Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 seriously, i actually have a book in my library called "The Idiot's Guide to Understanding Catholicism" i told you i'm sheep....
Anna Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 One time, a little girl, after answering successfully a series of question, was asked, "How did you get so smart?" She shrugged her shoulders, and said, "God made me that way!" He gave us brains. I guess he expects us to cultivate them. Pax Christi. <><
Ellenita Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 me personally I'm a "Theology for dummies" " Cannon law for dummies" and "Aquinas for dummies" kinda girl Ash, these really exist? (said Helen in an excited voice! :D ) I have 'Catholicism for dummies' and I love it....when I can wrestle it out of my friend's hands....I really MUST buy her a copy!! Oh, and I am so smart because I have very learned friends here at Phatmass!! :D
