This forum would not be as good if Telesphorus wasn't here. Why did you choose that name, Telesphorus?

[roscoe]

Telesphorus is occasionally boring but, unlike many in this Forum he is not a liberal. I will give him a thumbs up as one of the best posters.  :cheers:

The feast of St. Telesphorus was listed on a the bulletin around the time I joined here.  And it was similar to the name Telemaque.

It was an old bulletin lying around that caught my eye.

He is indeed an alright guy!   :applause:

I thought maybe he was one of your favorite popes. I knew it couldn't be the mythological character.

Indeed, Tele contributes to this forum.  :cheers:

Dixit JESUS:

Beati pauperes spiritu quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum.

Beati mites quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram.

Beati qui lugent quoniam ipsi consolabuntur.

Beati qui esuriunt et sitiunt iustitiam quoniam ipsi saturabuntur.

Beati misericordes quia ipsi misericordiam consequentur.

Beati pacifici quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur

Beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter iustitiam quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum.

Beati estis cuм maledixerint vobis et persecuti vos fuerint et dixerint omne malum adversum vos mentientes propter me.

Gaudete et exultate quoniam merces vestra copiosa est in caelis sic enim persecuti sunt prophetas qui fuerunt ante vos.

Translation:

Jesus said:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is very great in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.



I'm surprised Google translated that so well.

Tele has a knack for cutting through illusions and verbiage to the real significance of things. And he's honest and straightforward.

[Graham]

Thanks, guest.

[Telesphorus]

Thanks, guest.

Eh, he's a troll.

[Telesphorus]

I appreciate the appreciation thread, and all those who can sort out friend from foe.

There's a certain type of "Trad" that hates for no reason.  I don't claim to understand it.  It's strange.

[Telesphorus]

The reputation counter shows the reality.  Yes, they hate, but they lie to themselves about that just like they lie about other things.

[Telesphorus]

Well I don't hate you and I didn't rate you down. Did you ever rate anyone down? Do you hate?

What's my situation to them?

You should expect curry if you dish out curry. It's part of life.

You shouldn't pretend they don't hate when they do.  What's their motivation?

I don't know, but it's pretty clear the problem is with them.  They don't have any justification.
