I guess a Mason would know about front organizations. I mean the Masons are related to the Templars and the Templars were the first organized bankers in the Western World. So the Templars, not the RCC would be the first organized crime syndicate. Which is why the Templars were banished from the chu...

So you're saying that a book/movie labeled as fiction is going to cause the decay of core beliefs among Catholics? If that is all it takes for RCC's followers to lose faith, I believe you have bigger issues at hand. Fact is, the RCC has always been easily threatened. I wonder what would happen if I...

I disagree wholeheartedly. The pope and Roman Catholic Church teaches in accordance with it's tenets. When something comes out, such as this, that is blatantly wrong, one sided or anti-Catholic it must counter it or it looses credibility. By suggesting a boycot the church is holding it's ground and...

First I want to say, I don't critize the Catholic faithful, in fact I respect all religions, whether I agree with them or not. But comparing the Masons to the Catholics is not the best scenario, here's why: Mason's don't speak of their beliefs. They don't discuss religion or politics. It's mostly a...

Thanks for the quick lesson Irish. I appreciate it. But to the original thread. I have two thoughts. First to the non-Catholics. No offense but why do you care what an organization says to which you have no claim? To you, this is just an organization with rules and regs you don't agree with. But wh...

Meg Ryan. Nick Cage. Both have the emotional range of a turnip. Cage's characters seem to be like that. Lord of War, The recent one where he's a weather man, the one where he's a con man who gets conned....there's no emotion to the character at all really...very meloncholy. However, I thought he wa...

My knowledge of freemason society is limited. But when you say that the freemasons promote religious tolerance I have to ask if religions other than the various protestant denominations are represented at the higher levels of freemasonry. That is a stereotype that I have heard over and over again a...

Since none of us were there, none of us now what the exact truth is...but your attemps to readily discredit anything you deem wild ramblings can as easily be said for anything one believes in the Catholic faith.

Depends on which character wins out: 1 side of me would say to identify as many as possible just to cash in.... but I would come to my senses and say screw the authorities in this instance. They may call it trespassing, but they're trumping that up because they can't prove what they were smoking. Th...

It's not entirely fictual. Fictional? Ever wonder why it took the Roman Catholic Church 400 years to decide to call Mary a Virgin? Or to supress the fact that Jesus had brothers. Or that "Jesus of Nazareth" isn't possible because Nazareth wasn't even founded yet, but it was because he hun...
