Well, Declaramus! Sorry, I have ideas above my station calling upon the royal "WE". ;-)

Philip, this was a beautifully written piece. Truth of course has a natural beauty and you expressed it well.
God's love is awesome (to nick Deb's word lol) and terrifying-and we are so blessed to receive Him in the Holy Eucharist.
God bless

please, no racist or xenophobic comments, which includes attributing the guilt of the Nazi Party on the German people. Similarly, I’m sure that you know how the German people were forced into “patriotic” organisations by the Nazi Party, such as the “Hitler Youth”, under pain of death. ETC ETC ETC.
DUDE you are totally right on what you say and it was nothing more than a cheap shot on my part. I knew it . It was just more fuel for the fire so to speak.,. CHEAP fuel at that .

I’ve read UKOK’s comment again and still can’t see why you felt attacked personally by her words. I guess she was judging the professor’s actions.
.. I was TOTALLY wrong on that also dude! I dont JUMP to conclusions I LEAP at them . it’s the pattern of people like myself who run around the world at top speed from the time they wake up to the time they retire. .. I DEFINATLY have to many bells and whistles” and the strength of 3 men . so you see its MY problem .[ I have may awards and ciatations and placques etc YET. I have NEVER won a award for social graces] and regrettably and as usual I over reacted.. . I really made myself look like a fool on that one. WHAT a dork I am . I ASSUMED she was directing her comment toward my response. How stupid and moronic can I BE??? good grief what an IDIOT I can be at times!!!!!!
I'm always telling people that “ assumed knowledge is a dangerous thing. well maybe I should take the time to practice what I preach.... I believe George Bernard Shaw once said. “ if you can t learn it teach it”. thanks for bringing to my attention in your rather eloquent way what a TOTAL IDIOT I am with my approach to that ..
When first I started writing a follow-up comment to you, I filled it with lots of Bible quotations and excerpts from the Fathers of the early Church and later theologians, such as Thomas Aquinas to explain what Christians, and Catholics especially, believe about the Eucharist; but you know what, I don’t know whether just giving you a testimony of my faith might not be the best way of explaining why to Catholics, and many other Christians, this is not just a “cracker”. Throwing quotes around is often misused by all sides in an argument. I’m going to lay myself open to you: in any reply, I’m sure that you will respect that....
not only do I have RESPECT for you your honesty sincerity and directness which truly makes you a MAN amongst men . Perhaps and hopefully I evoked the REAL you .?
Anybody can quote from a book or whatever. That doesnt amont ot a hill of beans. .. but when you speak from your heart as you have makes you in my eyes one powerful and good person. I come across dudes like you once in a great while every few years.. IT gives me FAITH in the human race.
you’re a good man , you have good powers, and your convictions are expressed with humility. This is a rare combination in the contemporary world of spirituality. I'm NOT patronizing you as I am MOVED by your approach to deal with me directly on your format.
IN this sense that you took time I feel honoured that you should be so eloquent in your expression .
.. Please don’t think I’m being condescending or superior. If I at any stage, I come across as sounding so, it is not intention and I hope you will forgive me.
dude… not a snowballs chance in hell you come across that way. I'm awed by your strength your honesty sincerity and directness. The very fact that you have taken the time to express yourself with such sincerity is moving to me and there is NO reason to explain anything about yourself because I know EVERYTHING about you that is pertinent for spiritual interaction. . I can see in your picture of yourself EXACTLY what you are. that's why I persisted responding on your post. you’re a GOOD man . and an honest one , and the qualities that you possess are not to be taken lightly, especially your own self. I usually get " how im going to burn in hell forrever type of dialouge" for my slash and burn technique . But ya fooled me. GOOD FOR YOU . you got ME to stop and think.
. Remember, this is just me writing, on behalf of me and no one else. If you think I’m in error, don’t impute it upon anyone else. I am no professor of theology, just a simply man in the pew.
. this is Not about ERROR or right or wrong. its just an observation and commentary on viewpoints for assorted differnt perspectives. that's all for no other reason than most people take all this WAY to seriously. . and that's NOT what spirituality is. . I'm not out to INFLUENCE or change anyone or anything . all my purpose is , is to present a differnt perspective of course its profoundly un orthodox, and most certainly profanea s well as absurd in a lot of ways. . But look what it has done. it brought you to step up to the plate. and not only make a statement about my dumb shows and noise. you SPOKE with great eloquence, strength, compassion and understanding. Would you have done that with your everyday mundane interaction with other said disciples on the same path??

We deceive ourselves into thinking that we are like God (cf the Tower of Babel). In doing so, we find ourselves sinking deeper into a situation of our own making.
.. yup totally agree with you but.. the word “WE”. dude. your not a “we”. your not a collective consciousness of what others say in their cesspool of spiritual mediocrity.
you as a person are YOU !!!!!!! that's what makes your commentary to me so unique. and sorry dude. you ARE like GOD. [ actually we ALL are]. . those that pretend to WALK the WALK but only TALK the TALK are not the same. so to LUMP everyone into a simple category that belongs in the tower of BABLE is a cop out. DUDE there is a DIFFERENCE identifying with GOD [ omnipresence, and non dual state ] and EGO
which is all based in the limited consciousness of duality which constantly needs to confirm its own existence

You could argue that God could just pick us up, dust us down and forgive us, but this would violate the principal of Justice.
.. dude!!!!!!!!!!! why are you so preoccupied with the “ plural “ , you are speaking as a wonderful and compassionate INDIVIDUAL . sorry bud. tis what ya are. your not a dork nor hateful nor do you come off as a control freak . you come off as a man who bears his heart to a total stranger[ me]. with compassion and spiritual love . that's NOT for the “WE “ or the US” that's your SOUL. that's your individuality that you have strengthened through your own spiritual enquiry. . that's POWERFUL . so Dont lump it into a collective consciousness.
.. We live in a society today that prides itself on “getting out” of sticky situations without consequences, but there is usually someone left hurt by our desire to get away with the sin or the crime. No sin is victimless and if we try and make a case against justice, then we just compound someone else’s pain. So, Justice is an absolute, just as Truth is an absolute. Neither of these are relative: modern antinomianism, while popular with many today, is but a myth and a deceit.
. that statement makes no sense to me. to much going on .
However, God is Love. This is another absolute; and God so loved the world that he sent His Only Son into the world, not to condemn it (even though it deserved to be condemned),
.. awwwwwwwwww man ., I CANT believe you said that . I'm bowing before your eloquence and your sincerity and you say some thing EGOTISTICAL like (even though it deserved to be condemned). where did THAT come from . ??
Anyway. there is a LOT more to address here but it would take up to much space.
thanks for calling me on the carpet. you’re a class act. I appreciate your input. ..
respectfully

Sweetie, you're a gem.

I was just reading this 'awesome' (what is it with these americanism's creeping into my textcabulary!?!)post of yours and saw my name....and realised i'd have to go check out that other comment i left the other day on the 'dumb professor post'.

I really did not mean to set a fire under Satthingie and I was delighted that you read my comment as it was intended and upheld my honour dear sir!

LOL!

And ys it really is 2008 but when i read your comment i had to go and check in case I had got it wrong and it was still 2007!

What a dork.

'Dork' is an australianism i think. I must have been blogging way too long.
