Shouldn't Torquemada be a saint by now? They made Thomas More a saint, that should mean Torquemada would be a shoe in.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It has always said that it's precepts were a matter of belief and not empirically provable. These potshots are very easy to make. There is not a universal agreement about what is in the bible. Catholics accept the apocrypha while Protestants do not. |

It's all smoke and mirrors and fast talking salesmen, what's the difference. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | I also wonder why some things are stubbornly held on to as tradition, while other things change or are let go. Jesus walked everywhere. The pope uses modern transportation. A woman's position in society has changed. When was the first black catholic priest ordained? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Does that mean it is immune from scientific analysis? Cooking is considered an art, not a science, but we spend a great deal of time and effort judging it by standards that we feel are perfectly acceptable to us. Finding gold by training dogs to search for plants often found near gold mines is not claimed to be scientific theory but is instead fully grounded in anectdotes, but that does not render it immune to analysis. |
