Catholic school in California is removing statues of Mary and Jesus in order to be "inclusive"

[keepitreal]

Here folk, read this again:

The Catholic religion is based on traditions of men,
which is bad enough but, there is only One, True Living God,
and the only way to the Father, is through the Son

A school, run by a Catholic order, should be,
welcoming their students to the God and Father of Christ,
and Jesus Christ as their salvation and Savior,
not losing souls and appeasing the enemy for money

^ Use that as criteria for choosing a school that will mold your child.

All religions are man made on traditions of men.

What does she mean by "God and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ ?? , God, and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ, does she mean the Trinity??

All religions are man made on traditions of men.

I told you to do your homework...that's not true

Lol...see, you were here at the time you posted this,

Since they're a Catholic and an independent school, they're trying to be welcoming to students of all faiths. People are misunderstanding who the school is because it is run by a Catholic order. But read the article. The school isn't doing anything wrong or against it's own mission statement.

All religions are based on the traditions of men, if not for Rome, you would not have the bible or Christianity.

Pen, the problem with that is, that book is written in a style that is impossible for man to write.

Not just prophecy, but codes that can't be duplicated. And that was done so you would know it was NOT man who authored that book.
You cannot right your pedigree using the same criteria that the Holy Spirit used. A numeric code that can't be duplicated.
None of the writers of the NT conferred with each other to make sure their contribution was in sync with the other's, and yet the book is seamless. What Moses wrote down for the Jews had to be letter perfect to be able to produce the "equal distance lettering" necessary for the Computer code to exist. The Bible Code is phenomenal, and has far surpassed the "coincidental monkey text" comparison.

This isn't scriptural, but because people have found their own genealogies in the Bible/Computer Code, I have a feeling when the Book of Life is opened, it is the very book we set in our laps.

There are no prophecies in the OT or NT. Who were the NT writers?? (We know Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did't pen them) . When were they wrote? Moses , who was Moses, really? Since the exodus didn't happen as in the OT, we have to wonder about Moses.

There is no code in the Bible. Also no prophecy.

Are you a Mormon, to think a God impregnated a young virgin girl. There is no virgin birth. We know it can't happen, also real Jews now or then do not and did not believe in virgin births.

Praise God...Lol, I love it

You think you're just posting but,
I see it in a whole different light!

Wow...really, do your homework

to think a God impregnated a young virgin girl. There is no virgin birth. We know it can't happen,

Again, wow...

You don't even know the Bible is full of prophesy, OT & NT
You don't know it can't happen, that's what you believe can't happen

With God, all things are possible,
lean not on your own understanding
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

You really have to understand Jesus, as the sacrifice
in order to realize the necessity of that being the truth

 

[keepitreal]

With the exception of Luke, the whole Bible is brought to us by Jews. Rome just created it's own version.

You really think those fishermen wrote the gospels and Luke was a doctor. Think again. Also Judaism was not monotheistic until the return from Babylon when they incorporated Zoroastrianism, which is why there are 2 different genesis stories. Philo is mainly Platonism. Yes you are like Greco-Roman, but then again you protested. Judaism never had virgin births, that was Greece and Rome.

Let me guess, you're an atheist or agnostic?

You think the bible proves God or a specific God or several Gods, it proves men could think and they learned how to draw pictures and then write.

Then by all means, tell me the name of the horse that will win the Kentucky Derby next year. You don't have a clue. Because man can't see the future.
Lets pick 40 people here and tell them to write a chapter. Don't tell them subject matter. Then take all forty chapters, combine them, and see if they are in any way a coherent novel. Then find the viable hidden codes all 40 included and see if the all connect perfectly.
Man is not the author of that book. They penned what the Holy Spirit lead them to pen.

You are right man can't tell the future, and since you do not know the authors of the books , how do you know they did not conspire? Yes men penned the bible , many times. Actually parts of the gospels contradict each other.

The only one I believe was wrote by the author was John, John of Giscala. read about him and get back to me,
John of Giscala - Wikipedia. Then read about Eleazar Ben Simon, Simon bar Giora, and War of the Jews by Josephus.

Actually parts of the gospels contradict each other.

Ummm, Absolutely not!

I've told you to do your homework

Start researching the origins of the first printed Bible
that alone will keep you busy...

written works were omitted by the Jewish Scribes
they denied Aramaic origins of written works
until the discovery of The Dead Sea Scrolls

You have the church of Rome, the pope
commission the translation of the Bible from Greek to Latin
Do you know how many times the Bible has been translated
There was literal translation and interpretive translation

Omg...just do the work

actually, they should remove statues of all of them.... it's very easy to worship God/Jesus without a statue or picture anyway....

Welp, they removed Israel from their Bible, and usurped their blessings, so why not cater to the world. Rather they were hot or cold, after all. They have a Pope that is leading them astray.
As for which side they ultimately end up on, note that they are not included in the candle sicks in Christ's Temple...

Of the 660 students who attend the K-12 school, 121 are boarding students and 98 of these are international students from British Columbia, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mexico, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The students attending San Domenico come from a variety of religious backgrounds besides Christianity: Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.

Stock said schools operated by the Catholic Church, such as St. Isabella, Marin Catholic and St. Anselm, tend to have larger class sizes and lower tuition costs. Tuition for an incoming kindergarten student at San Domenico is $29,850.

Skewes-Cox said, “If you walk on the campus and the first thing you confront is three or four statues of St. Dominic or St. Francis, it could be alienating for that other religion, and we didn’t want to further that feeling.”

`
If you don't mind me saying, I'm not sure you quite understand how a diocese or archdiocese works. There has always been the "financial", legal or mundane organizational part of the Catholic hierarchy. They are not, nor have ever been, a part of the the "theological" arm of the Catholic church, which is the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and is one of the most important dicasteries of the "Roman Curia".

It would be a big mistake in thinking a diocese or archdiocese has any control over all Catholic parishes or institutions. The Jesuits, for example, run thousands of secondary schools and colleges/universities throughout the US. They report to their own superiors within their order, not to a bishop in a diocese. The same applies to the Dominicans, Franciscans (see: Pope Francis), Benedictines and other orders within the Catholic church. You might have forgotten that "diocesan" priests are their own order. They are the ones who report to the Bishop or Archbishop.

With respect to the topic, the mere removal of statues and icons from a school, is not in violation of any tenet of Catholic faith or Canon law I'm aware of but that's not something I keep abreast of.

Rome didn't create Christianity, retard. Someone needs to slam the door on you and hope it hits you hard enough to knock the shit loose between your ears.

Yes they did with a little help from their friends, Tiberius Alexander, Josephus, and Philo and maybe a few others well versed in Judaism. Someone needs to slam the door on you. Do you really think Christianity would be allowed in a Roman Empire without Romes ok. Also Rome gave you the Bible.

it was "created" to "defrag" all the various religions held at the time.

also - ok'ing something doesn't mean they created it.

No one is forcing all others to go there. According to the school many different faiths, maybe even atheist go to that school.

Here's the probable breakdown:
20% Catholic
75% Christian, non-Catholic
5% other

They go there to get a good education. I have no issue with removing a few statues to make it more welcoming to all.

They go there to get away from the militant secularism of the public schools, so hiding the statues will reduce the Christians who go there. As the school becomes more elitist and secular, it'll attract more non-Christians.

I actually have more of a problem with Protestant schools teaching creationism in grade schools and Noah's Ark as historical.

You've already established your leftist credentials. The evidence doesn't matter, you go with your Atheist worldview. You didn't have to bother declaring yourself an anti-Creationist.

Jesus was NOT "inclusive" in the way you'd like Him to be.

Now stop posting what you don't understand.

No Rome did, and Paul whoever he was. It was created to stop the fighting in Judea and northern Israel. Jesus as the story goes was a Jew and as a Jew? he would not of created a different religion.

Oye vay...while I welcome your ignorance
being met with the truth, which will benefit you
if you so choose to seek the path being laid out for you...

I find it very irritating that you insist on posting
pertaining to subject matter you are so clueless about!

And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 11:26

The Roman Catholic Church...

God didn't create religion
nor did Jesus create a new or different religion

Jesus came to fulfill Scripture
the Jews knew there was to be a Messiah
but they rejected Jesus being Him

Here folk, read this again:

The Catholic religion is based on traditions of men,
which is bad enough but, there is only One, True Living God,
and the only way to the Father, is through the Son

A school, run by a Catholic order, should be,
welcoming their students to the God and Father of Christ,
and Jesus Christ as their salvation and Savior,
not losing souls and appeasing the enemy for money

^ Use that as criteria for choosing a school that will mold your child.

All religions are man made on traditions of men.

What does she mean by "God and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ ?? , God, and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ, does she mean the Trinity??

I told you to do your homework...that's not true

What does she mean by "God and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ ?? , God, and Father of Christ and Jesus Christ, does she mean the Trinity??

Why are you asking someone else what I mean?

Lol...see, you were here at the time you posted this,
but, definitely not the demon!

Well explain what you mean?

Well explain what you mean?

Hell no...
you can't even grasp Matthew 5:41

The problem is most of the writers in this thread do not understand the Catholic religion.

ROFLMMFAO You don't even have a basic understanding of religion The Catholic Archdiocese has taken such a hit this is what they are resorting to. Its not about God, its about finances

`
If you don't mind me saying, I'm not sure you quite understand how a diocese or archdiocese works. There has always been the "financial", legal or mundane organizational part of the Catholic hierarchy. They are not, nor have ever been, a part of the the "theological" arm of the Catholic church, which is the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and is one of the most important dicasteries of the "Roman Curia".

It would be a big mistake in thinking a diocese or archdiocese has any control over all Catholic parishes or institutions. The Jesuits, for example, run thousands of secondary schools and colleges/universities throughout the US. They report to their own superiors within their order, not to a bishop in a diocese. The same applies to the Dominicans, Franciscans (see: Pope Francis), Benedictines and other orders within the Catholic church. You might have forgotten that "diocesan" priests are their own order. They are the ones who report to the Bishop or Archbishop.

With respect to the topic, the mere removal of statues and icons from a school, is not in violation of any tenet of Catholic faith or Canon law I'm aware of but that's not something I keep abreast of.

If I did mind, I don't belong here...With that said,
I'm quite sure you don't understand,
how a diocese and archdiocese works,
has absolutely nothing to do with,
the point some of us are trying to get across.

There has always been the "financial", legal or mundane organizational part of the Catholic hierarchy. They are not, nor have ever been, a part of the the "theological" arm of the Catholic church

Furthermore, I'm quite sure you don't know
as much as you like to think you do, about the Catholic church

They most definitely are,
and always have been, hand in hand.

The only difference now, as opposed to then, is,
how to increase the revenue that has been lost
from the massive exodus of their flock

That's why pope Francis,
that's why a softening on some positions
Darling, God doesn't change, nor does His Word
He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow

With respect to the topic, the mere removal of statues and icons from a school, is not in violation of any tenet of Catholic faith or Canon law I'm aware of

With respect to the topic, this has shit to do with
violations of any laws pertaining to the Catholic faith.

Their "laws" are not from God, nor supersede the Sacrifice
We are not under Gods laws, we are under Gods Grace
That's why Christ died and God resurrected Him.

This isn't about the statues being removed,
but, rather, what removing them signifies...
removing God and being ashamed instead of bold
