After 28years of study in all that you believe in, and some. I shake my head in astonishment. I cant tell you, what i know, because i simply have no proof of what i understand.

I know what i have just said makes me sound like an idiot but trust me, i know what im talking about.

I want you too think for your selfs, there is an answer, Your just not ready for it yet.

How the black and white is the easy way out.

Foxy.
The paper is Sydney Morning Herald weekend edition April 19-20 front page etc the story is "Catholic pin-up boys body to be displayed in Syndey".
Seems the Vatican has had him preserved for some years and named him a saint and is carrying him out to Australia for World Youth Day to parade him at Randwick I think.
I asked Customs if the casket could be used for smuggling and they said they were on the job and investigating anything coming into the country:)

Jeez. After reading the post at the top of the page I reckon evolution is sharing the same bong as The Person Formally Known as Gibo!!

(Chill, guys: not mocking or knocking. Just having a little grin - which I choose not to represent with a smiley face)

ps CJ - I know you posted an email address I could contact you on. Just can't find it again.

Gooood early morning team:)

I found this about Pier Frassati...

http://www.bettnet.com/frassati/

"We, who by the grace of God are Catholics... must steel ourselves for the battle we shall certainly have to fight to fulfill our program and give our country, in the not too distant future, happier days and a morally healthy society, but to achieve this we need constant prayer to obtain from God that grace without which all our prayers are useless; organization and discipline to be ready for action at the right time; and finally, the sacrifice of our passion and of ourselves, because without that we cannot achieve our aim.”

2 things concern me about his quote.

1/ "are Catholics" .. I would NEVER not even in a million years, say "by the grace of God I am... X denomination". I cannot even say "I'm open Brethren"... I can only say "I (as a Christian) currently fellowship at an open Bretho Church"

2/ He speaks a lot about "our aims"... Battle....fight....fulfill out program... ready for action at the right time.....

Had he not said at the beginning "we are (by Grace) Catholics" I would probably see all those references as metaphoric and spiritual.

The Bible, has only one type of believer "Christian"..Christ's ones...
It has no protestant or catholic. If it worries you unbelieving mob when someone trots out 'Our denominational way or the highway' kind of thing.. It worries me much more. It bothers me when the Church of Christ claims it...with its mantra "Baptism is absolutely essential for salvation"...and it would bother me if the older captial B Bretho's come close to claiming that you are unspiritual if you take off your coat in the meeting on a 35deg day! I must be morphing into one of them :) because I often think that the chicks at our meetings in their spagetti strap shoulderless tops could errr.. cover up just a tad more.

But bringing this Frassati's body out? Good grief... its creepy..really..(haha fractelle..and you think "I'M" creepy 0_-)

Next we will hear "Oh..I touched his casket and I was suddenly healed"

Yikes.

Dear Gibo,

Thanks for explaining things, now I understand.

As you, David, and other posters, said, It is indeed rather strange of the Vatican to be involved in this bizarre activity.

Although, they brought in some Egyptian relics (Mummies), for an exhibition at some of the museums in our major cities a few years ago.

So I suppose it's a question of what kind of 'dead bodies' they bring in - to each his own. I'm sure there will be quite a few believers who will be lining up to view the body of a saint.

Hey Gibo! I havent tried that new angle weed yet. LOL.

I dont know about Gibo, but I when out last night and had a little drinky poo and while I know I shouldnt drink and drive, I Shouldnt type either.lol

Sorry about that
