As a catholic. It is just...I have no explanation. Except that the opportunities for grace that these bishops were given (including the ones back many decades ago) they did not respond to, or they refused.
Just wanna ask, what's up with those LDS church of Jesus Christ folk? Its not like anything they say is really wrong, And people seem to hate them more than all those other cults. They've also helped a lot of families suffering in disasters around the world.
i still dont understand the catholic obsession with saints.... they're just other saints, i dont remember anywhere in the bible where it says we have to treat some saints in higher prestige than others
also, we used to call muslims "Mohamedans" until about the 19th century, because we didn't know any better, but the name stuck around for so long that it just became a common term
Adoration is the worship and homage that is due to God alone. The Saints are human like you and I. They are not divine. Adoration of the saints has never been nor will ever be part of Catholic teaching or prayer. We venerate the saints.
Yeah I think we have a difference of definition of a Saint. Saints are in heaven. We hope to become saints, by being holy and acting like saints, but we are not saints yet.
