catholicinsd Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 With all respect Hash, there are many poor people out who would disagree with you, Mr. Kreeft.
Hashbrowns Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 With all respect, those people are wrong. That's why we're in Steubneville. And helping them.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 [quote name='catholicinsd' post='1405578' date='Oct 19 2007, 04:03 PM']While the Gospel is important, It doesn't nourish the body. If the school the has done alot, as you claim then why was the campus bugalarized?[/quote] Okay, first, taking care of the body is secondary to taking care of the soul. That's in today's Gospel. Second, burglars steal whatever they can get. Are you saying that just because FUS has a few nice things for the benefit of its students, it's not practicing charity well enough? Third, how dare you add "as you claim" to your sentence...do you suppose I'm making all this up? Which of the two of us attended FUS? Which of the two of us saw all the ministries they have? I think you're really pushing it. Again, I challenge you: you have a computer...why haven't you sold that and given the money to the poor?
Maggyie Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Is anyone in Steubenville literally starving to death? No. There are many hungry people in America but the chances of someone actually dying of famine are pretty much nil. There is a lot more deadly spiritual famine in our country, however, and the Steubie grads are uniquely equipped to alleviate that hunger.
Hashbrowns Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I was helping at a retreat 2 weeks ago, and the leader wasn't eating, he was so busy. I told him he had to eat and he said "I feast on the commands of the Lord." He's a senior in high school, and he knows what's what.
catholicinsd Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 This computer is not my property to sell.
Hashbrowns Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Who owns these servers? who's paying for phatmass to run? obviously, they're uncharitable. they should be giving all they have to the poor. They're not really doing any good in the world right now...

Maggyie Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Who's Nick? Who's Ashley? What issues? Is this thing on? :taps mic:
catholicinsd Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Nick is Phat, Ashley is Cathurian, and her satanic issues.
Hashbrowns Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 HOW DARE YOU! MAYBE BECAUSE WE'RE IN SCHOOL? I don't know anything about Ashley or her situation, but golly, you've just crossed a line.
catholicinsd Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 I'm in school to, and I helped her. In fact, anyone using PM could have, as most discussions occurred at night.
inDEED Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Since I believe that this entire topic was created to simply bring down a fantastic Catholic institution as well as to reignite a situation that occurred some time ago regarding another member, I'm closing it. catholicinsd - why don't you take a break, man? Step away from the PC and get some fresh air. This entire topic is ridiculous. For those who have sacrificed to serve the Church in going into debt to attend Steubenville - we thank you!

Again, you see so many things, good things, that need to be done, and you respond with fervor, which is great, but then you go accusing others of sitting idly by when they've done tons for numerous others. I'm sorry, but we can't all attend to each individual need with 100% of ourselves. If I give 100% to a pro-life cause, I will not have 100% to give to the poor. You seem to get upset when anyone gives themselves to any cause besides the poor. We are all members of one body, but one is the hand and one is the foot, we don't have the same functions. Anyway, my point is this: leave Nick alone. Nick is a good man and you have no right to slander him by making it sound as if he's done nothing. You don't know him and you don't know what he's going through. You don't know what reasons he may have for the things he does. You don't have any right to judge him for any reason whatsoever.
