Ultraviolet
I enjoy your posts and your energy when you are responding to one or more of the attacking punks. With an occasional exception, I have lost that energy years ago.

There was a time past when at Gloria.tv there were numerous, timely, relevant and interesting news stories which attracted a different type of member and fostered insightful, intelligent commenters who were also ready to debate and defend their positions. Today the stories dwell on how bad Francis is or on a new openly homo priest dancing and singing in some church somewhere.

Those good times have long passed. For several reasons (some more obvious than others) the participation at GTV has decreased drastically over the past year or two. Not only has participation decreased, but the hits to the website are also at an all time low when compared to years past. I am only speaking of the English side of GTV.

You would have enjoyed the old “Glory” days. The slime that unfortunately has now washed upon these shores would have either been removed by moderators or so embarrassed by their own intellectual inadequacy that they “might” restrain themselves so as not to look like fools on a daily basis.
Oh well...I’m reminiscing. Maybe someday those days will return.

@la verdad prevalece Correction: I have NOT made "comments in favor of homosexuality". You can barely read English. That is why my comments are "confusing". Gesu has the same problem for the same reason. If you are confused, why not ASK me what I meant? Es sencillo, si?

Necesistas esto tambien... :D jajaja...

" the only recourse they have left is to behave like a troll and insult and personally attack Catholics."

Followed by:

"Ultraviolet Not only you are a heretic, an apostate, but also a coward and a malicious liar...but I will not waste my time with a foolish blasphemer like you

Gesù è con noi. I wonder if you are blindt to the irony of that. But thank you again for showing everyone here exactly what happens when you lose an argument.

What you have NOT shown are the things I asked you:

1.) why God allowed bad men to have full reigns as valid Popes. This is relevant to our current Pontiff.

2.) proof that the historically recognized "bad popes" weren't bad, which is vital to proving your original point , the one you have quietly abandoned.

3.) A direct quote, and a link to the post where I supposedly refuted Catholic teachings on homosexuality, the way you claimed. I demand proof of your claim and you can not supply it. Put up or shut up. ;-)

You have supplied none of these things. Instead you prefer to do exactly what you project onto "trolls": insult and personal attacks., Then you lie about what I have written claiming, falsely, "The rest of his response was personal insults."

...and that's factually untrue. What I did is expose the logical fallacies you keep making. All YOU do is insult me because you can't argue, much less debate using reason.. You started to, you tried to, and you lost, badly. :D

You have never once shown any evidence of cowardice on my part nor have you ever shown that I lied. You just say these things and pretend they are true, no facts no proof given. You do it a lot. The English and the Portugese may not be right about all Spaniards, but they certainly are right about you.

Just to remind you, the lies you have told about me are a.) serious b.) deliberate and c.) told with the intent of damaging my reputation. That fulfills all three requirements for a grave and mortal sin. You obviously have not repented of it, instead you compounded it

Did you go to First Friday Devotion today? Did you receive the Eucharist? I hope so. ;-) 1 Corinthians 11:27

The bergogolian cannot bear to lose, but since neither Scripture nor the Magisterium support them, the only recourse they have left is to behave like a troll and insult and personally attack Catholics.
Proverbs 17:12 Better to meet a she-bear robbed of its cubs than to confront a fool immersed in folly.
@Ultraviolet Not only you are a heretic, an apostate, but also a coward and a malicious liar…but I will not waste my time with a foolish blasphemer like you. May God rebuke you.

Gesù è con noi So this is what happens when a Spaniard loses an intellectual debate: he lies. After all these years, now I understand why the English and the Portugese used to call you people "the dung eaters". Except that isn't entirely right. The filth comes out of your mouth more than it goes in.

"Ultraviolet is More than an heretic troll, he is...."
Ad Hominem Fallacy to the N'th degree compounded with Argumentum Ad Nauseam.

"Who believes blasphemy that is born gay by blaming God for...
You're a liar, Gesu. I publicly challenge you to quote me directly with a link to the post, ANYWHERE on GTV where I said such a thing. Let's make this very simple: Direct quote from me, or you lie.

This is no longer about your fatuous interpretations of Church doctrine or Magisterium. This is about facts. Either you can produce the quotes that show I have said those things or you can not. If you can't then you're a liar. --and we both know you can't. :D

Now here's the fun part. Oh, yes. I'm going to enjoy spelling this out for you, Gesu.

You lied. You know it, I know it. Moreover, you lied deliberately and you lied with the purpose of damaging my reputation. Meaning, you've committed a grave i.e. mortal sin. Until you go to confession, and do the usually assigned penance of publicly retracting the lie you told, you're in a state of mortal sin.

Think about that tomorrow, Gesu. Your first Friday Devotion is null and void. So is your First Saturday Devotion. You'll be compounding your sin when you blasphemously receive the Eucharist this Sunday, which is another mortal sin, a worse one.

So not only have I become an instrument of God's chastisement of your pride, I may have become the instrument of your damnation. As they say in Brooklyn, "it couldn't happen to a nicer guy." ;-)

As for the rest of your questions, why should you care?

You "don't want to be contacted" remember?

And I don't feel very inclined to explain myself to you.. You're not a good person, Gesu. You're not a good Christian. You're the kind of Catholic that gives the rest of us a very bad name.

This isn't about your supposed knowledge of The Church or its history, or the Magesterium. It's about your character. This sour little interchange gives me a very clear picture of who you are as a person and, speaking plainly, you make me sick. You're a dishonest debator, a cheat, and when you can't win fairly because you simply aren't smart enough, then you lie.

You don't know what ultraviolet is? You need me to explain it? And you call me "lazy"? Google it in whichever language you please. Wikipedia has a great entry, too.

While we Hispanics find it difficult to speak English we make the effort to comment in English, on the contrary Ultraviolet says that he is not interested in knowing what we say in our own language in which it is easy for us to give him a complete explanation. Ultraviolet : « No me gusta hablar en espanol, @Gesù è con noi I'm not even opening up Google translate for that».
The rest of his response was personal insults. His arrogance is so great that he is not interested in knowing any catholic arguments. So arrogant is that he contradicts the scientific evidence that affirms that no one is born gay, he contradicts the Word of God that condemns Homosexuality and that he is not willing to listen to the moral teachings of the Catholic Church, so selectively choose Bergoglio as his 'pope' because he knows that Bergoglio contradicts the Catholic moral doctrine that they hates so much, because ultraviolet only wants to listen to himself?.

Ultraviolet is More than an heretic troll, he is an apostate because he rejects the moral teachings of the Catholic Church that condemn the homosexuality. It turns out that he is a Pro Sodomite who believes blasphemy that is born gay by blaming God for SIN that God abominates. And we know that sodomite advocates are potential sodomites. As Saint Paul warns in Romans 1:32. The condemnation against the vice of sodomy is part of the moral doctrine of the Catholic Church rejecting it means rejecting the Catholic faith.

Wow, Gesù è con noi . I obviously overestimated you.

You're unable to argue your position intellectually so the best you can do is lie to me and about me.

FACT CHECK:
I'm not imposing anything. That's a lie. The Curia has imposed Pope Francis on The Church and God, for whatever reason, has allowed that to happen. I had nothing to do with either instance happening.

If you can't explain why that happened, don't blame me. It's ironic you scream about personal attacks while making one against me and "warning" everyone with false information.

FACT CHECK:
No, the Magisterium of the Church has not excommunicated me. That's a lie also. I told you once before that your opinion about the Magisterium is not the definitive or infallible. Repeating your opinion doesn't change that .

It just means that's all you can do: repeat your errors as if they were factually correct. Clearly you have no other support for your opinion or else you would have cited it long ago.

So that's what it comes down to.

Your opinion is Pope Francis isn't valid because you think the Magisterium invalidates his papacy. Sorry, that isn't how the Church works. What you believe is irrelevant. Those who are in a position to vote for Francis' expulsion feel differently and God has not moved them to change that view.

You keep ignoring that important theological point. This is not simply an issue of politics. Bad things happen because God allows them to happen as part of our free will. That is also true for the workings of His Church.

Bergoglio is not only a heretic but an apostate and a schismatic.

Pope Benedict already rejected paganism-affirming proposals made in Amazon Synod working doc www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/pope-benedict-a…

Couple of corrections there, Gesù è con noi Firstly: he's not "my" heretical Pope. He's the official reigning Pope of the Catholic Church, like it or not. I don't like it myself, but hey, them's the breaks.

Secondly, heresy includes refusing to acknowledge The Pope is Pope, like you're doing right now. For someone who supposedly wants to return to tradition, you're forgetting something very important. The Inquisition would have you tied to a stake for saying things like that about any reigning Pope.

Thirdly: bold text doesn't make a position correct. Neither does hyperbole.

Fourthly: you still haven't shown what you need to in order to prove the validity of your position. Nobody is contesting Pope Francis has many failings: personal, ideological, spiritual. That, however, fails to explain why he is allowed by God to sit on the Throne of St. Peter.

Why does God allow evil in the world?

You should be asking yourself that question from a far more personal perspective.

If you truly speak for the truths of the Catholic Church and your interpretation of Francis Papacy is correct, then answer this. Why did God make you such a second-rate debator? Why does He allow you to get out-maneuvered so easily?

There are three possibilities and, happily for me, they're not mutually exclusive. 1.) God allows bad things to happen to good people, just like he allows bad men to lead His Church. 2.) God allows you to get verbally smacked around by someone you consider an apostate and heretic so you will recognize you don't speak on His behalf or on behalf of His Church. Now mind you, Gesu. I'm not even rebutting your (yet unproven) claims of heresy or apostasy. 3.) God might be ignoring your plight because He disapproves of you.

That, consequently, would make me an instrument of Divine chastisement, a thought that makes me feel so much better. :))
