"The sole reason why society is perishing is because it has refused to hear the word of the Church, which is the work of life, the word of God. All plans for salvation will be sterile if the great word of the Catholic Church is not restored in all its fullness.
"The right to preach and instruct the people which the Church has received from God Himself in the persons of the Apostles, has been usurped by a crowd of prattling newspapermen and the ignorant babblers. The ministry of the word of God, which is the most elevated and important of all -- because by it the earth has been conquered -- has turned from a ministry of salvation to an abominable ministry of ruin. As nothing or nobody could check the triumph of the word of God in the time of the Apostles, so also will no one or nothing be able to repress the ravages of false preaching and doctrines unless by opposing them with the preaching of priests and by the distribution of abundant good books and other holy and profitable works."
-- Saint Anthony Mary Claret, The Autobiography, Chapter 28, Part 3. St. Anthony's feast day was this past weekend.

Omigod, dude...
You are in such deep shit with God -- seriously -- telling God what He can and cannot do?? Are you shittin' me??
Guy, he can have Get-In-Free Tuesdays if He wants -- who the hell do you think you are to tell God who He can and cannot "save", or that He cannot forgive someone else's sins without YOUR permission?
You are a complete freakshow, dude. Seriously. Get your shit together before it's too late...

Wow... what an odd way to converse with the dead. I suppose web log comments is one way to do it.
I suppose -- but it's great that you're acknowledging you're dead inside -- first step is admitting you have a problem!
(you do realize that the post was made up of quotes, and not the web log authors own words?) Saint Anthony Mary Claret died in 1870 and was canonized in 1950.
You do realize my comments have nothing to do with your post, right...right?? It's about your everyone-but-Catholics-just-like-me-are-going-to-Hell comments.
Whatevs. I'm bringin' the beer. Hell is nice and hot. I like it that way. Plus, you and your creepy little crew won't be there. Bonus.
Ah... yes that was my confusion. I assumed that comments on C.Anons post were about... well... his post.
As for the hyphenated-paraphrased-comment... I am guessing that you are referring to comments made here: Can non-Catholics be saved?
Wouldn't it make more sense to add your thoughts on that post (on that web log) instead of a random post here?
Maybe. But I did this instead. Deal. Or not. You're just boring now.
There's a reason why you're single, dude.
Wow... I've scored my first e-stalker! That's good, right?
CB: I wish you nothing but happiness in this life and in the next. I also wish you much joy when you partake of the most Catholic of drinks: beer. You do know that the art of brewing was perfected in the middle ages by monks of the Roman Catholic Church, right? Cheers!
