  • Is this the Gospel the SSPX teaches?

    The question answers itself.

  • Seriously, I think the prodigal son would be escorted off the premises by the police and the poor widow who gave her mite would be called a "leech."

    And Lazarus would be branded as mentally ill.

  • The problem with your analogy is that none of you "poor" men are Lazurus in real life, much though you like to think you are as you wallow there in your self pity and envy.

    You have a citizenship and passport that confers all sorts of freedoms to travel that 5 billion people in Latin America, Africa and Asia would give their eye teeth for.  You speak, natively, the world's common business language which puts you at an enormous advantage over 90 percent of the world.  You live in one of the richest countries in the world, a place where you don't need to beg for scraps from the rich man's table, because they are falling down all the time by the way of free libraries, free adult education, (especially on the Internet), internships, welfare payments, 24 by 7 electricity, houses heated in winter and cooled in summer.  Then there is abundant clean water, drinking water, which you use to flush your poo away and wash in, not merely drink.  Then there are volunteer groups, open University courses, conveniently in your native language, not to mention an incredible wealth of knowledge and skills training in billions of hours of free video and trillions of pages of free books.  Free clothing is on offer from charity shops, 90 percent of it hardly worn at all which by virtue of your birthright you have access to while 5 billion true Lazari don't.

    Do you need some nice furniture or a good working TV or computer monitor?  Wander around a middle class neighbourhood on a Saturday morning and some affluent person is throwing one out because their wife has changed the colour of the drapes and the old sofa did not match or because they now have a 50 inch LED and no need for the 42 inch plasma.  Easier still, hang around at the municipal tip reading a free library book while you wait for one of a colour and taste that suits you to arrive on a rich man's trailer.  He will help you lift it to your truck as well and shake your hand at the end.

    And for the sake of brevity let's not even mention the medicine at your 24 hour pharmacy which means you don't have to suffer headaches, toothaches, vitamin deficiency or parasites of the gut or the eye.

    Most of you have had stable two parent family upbringings.  You had had free education of a very high quality, globally speaking, access to computers from childhood, access to a wholly disproportionate personal share of the world's energy resources, you have free Internet access at the library or the local coffee shop and cheap Internet at home.

    Lazurus?  You should neither insult the 5 billion nor flatter yourself.  If you wish to find where you are given mention by Christ in the Gospel try St. Matthew (chapter 25, verses 14-30).

  • Who said I was comparing myself to Lazarus?

    There are indigents dying without last rites because the SSPX doesn't want to send out a priest.

    You're here on this board to follow people around and harass them.

  • The moral of the parable is that the self-satisfied rich are in peril for their souls.

  • You're anonymous.  How can I "harass" you or anyone else on this thread?

    If you are not wallowing in self pity then my scribe clearly does not apply to you, move on.

    First of all, you know who I am, secondly, your intention here is to insult me, by saying that I compared myself to Lazarus.  It's very typical of a chronic BS artist, to make things up that were never said.

    You're here on this forum (and on FE) to promote liberal views and discredit traditional Catholic views, in particular by harassing men with traditional views.

    Your filthy mouth, slanderous speech and MO are typical of what you are - a fallen away Catholic who has "serious reservations" about Traditional Catholicism, about the integrity of the Gospels, etc.

    You're no different than the other liberal bastards Catholics have to confront everywhere they go, blackening their reputations when they speak of what the Catholic religions teaches.

  • To be poor is a relative term.  Some practically say that having less than $100,000 a year income is almost too poor to marry and have a normal Catholic family life.  That shows a completely secular mind frame that heaps contempt on ordinary Catholic men who wish to have normal lives but who are judged as being deficient for not being rich enough.

    No one has complained of being destitute here.  

    To suggest otherwise is to be dishonest.
