They are only celebrating because they want North BR to get parish welfare, and anything that doesn't accomplish that gets voted down. Their perspective is superficial and has nothing to do with the (at least slightly) informed rest of the parish denying THRIVE for a multitude of credible objections.

That's rich coming from the guy who was caught pimping tax policy he knew nothing about. You had no idea it would cause property tax bills to increase, and you had no idea what millages we were currently paying. Yet you took to this forum to grandstand for something you were ignorant of, yet again.

It was settled long before Trent. 1100 years of church teaching. Trent only happened because of Luther. Canonical is Canonical. There was no authority by which they could be removed. Luther doing so was without justification or authority. There is an entire history to be understood about how Luther went from aggreieving only paid indulgences and supporting the Catholic Church, to the influence King Henry had on him and the actual schism that happened.


Anyway- interesting discussion. Have a good one.

Let's get it to a vote ......it's time.

Well we just voted to not fund them at all for the foreseeable future, but don’t let facts rain on your parade.

I don't believe that's what happens. The millage renewals were part of the THRIVE proposal, but they weren't immediately expiring. It was just to appease the orgs they wanted to reallocate money from.

ETA: so the library gets funds from 2025 I assume. When does COA and mosquito abatement expire?

ETAA: don't think for a second we won't be voting again on millages soon. This package was shot down, but if they were brought as a clean renewal package I'm sure they would pass easily.

More precincts just in. All 3 leaning "no" now.

Still a tossup. Hopefully later precincts swing the other way. None of the Zachary precincts reporting. Not sure on central.

Wrong again.

All 77 books were affirmed at the Council of Rome in 382 under Pope Damasus, and subsequent councils repeatedly. Any dissention was not church teaching.

Luther also put 4 New Testament books in his "appendix". For some reason Protestants ignore that.

He also added the word "alone" to Romans 3:28 to support his own interpretation......again, with no authority.

He did no such thing. I don’t know where this urban legend came from

You refuted yourself.

Luther’s German translation included

But then it didn't....

quote:

---

 had those books listed in its own section as he didn’t believe they were inspired Scripture

---

So he removed them from the collection of books known as the bible, and he did so with no authority. His original 95 theses were very much Catholic. Before he and the king decided on schism.

Sometimes, it's like the national media has an agenda....



“Give us some credit for being reasonable people,” said Bishop Seitz, who underscored that the bishops have consistently stated that a nation has the responsibility to secure its borders and have an orderly immigration process. The point was again included in the bishops’ Nov. 12 message, which states that “human dignity and national security are not in conflict. Both are possible if people of good will work together.”

To me, in my own uninlmportant opinion, it seems as if the Bishop's perception of deportations are being perverted by the media. If the request is truly that immigrants be treated humanely, I take no issue.
