Many references are made by wise old sages and there are also references in the scriptures. The references are often written in an obscure way and easily missed or if noticed misunderstood.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-81627914610428986472014-04-29T11:23:23.384+10:002014-04-29T11:23:23.384+10:00And the 'Big Bang' theory was first sugges...And the 'Big Bang' theory was first suggested by a Catholic Priest scientist too.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-5210470026594918832014-04-29T08:20:34.706+10:002014-04-29T08:20:34.706+10:00This link appeared in my Twitter feed today.

And not just from America although they do have a strong Protestant streak. The agitprop from middle ages early protestants in England and Europe has lasted a long time and has become encrusted with all sorts of additional hatreds.<br /><br />A point I did not make and perhaps should have is that Catholicism is the most Intellectual religion in human history. Its philosophy and appreciation of Nature virtually invented science as we know it.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-3568113429294212292014-04-25T12:35:52.522+10:002014-04-25T12:35:52.522+10:00I'll have to pop back in to read more! :)I'll have to pop back in to read more! :)mala265https://www.blogger.com/profile/08846847345350932713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-89049934767613204332014-04-25T12:31:35.026+10:002014-04-25T12:31:35.026+10:00There are so may misconceptions about the Catholic...There are so may misconceptions about the Catholic Church. especially with so many of the Americans on youtube. Its absolutely mindboggling the things they have come to believe.... its amazing how many actually think that the reformation spread Christianity and gave us the Bible. Where do you even begin with these guys? <br />Thomas Woods made a excellent series on how the Catholic Church built western civilization that can be viewed on youtube. <br />I went with my husband a few weeks ago to watch the Noah movie that just came out recently featuring Russel Crow.... what a huge disappointment that was.mala265https://www.blogger.com/profile/08846847345350932713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-25404458981076347532014-04-23T11:02:31.046+10:002014-04-23T11:02:31.046+10:00PS: I understand 'secret'.

There are increased services throughout the day to accommodate the new interest.<br /><br />We do have other faiths in the local community and they all work together for the 'mutual' truth.<br /><br />Politics never come into the equation ;-)CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-17985882169083398702014-04-23T10:37:57.680+10:002014-04-23T10:37:57.680+10:00The experience I spoke of was 'secret' eve...The experience I spoke of was 'secret' even from the non-officers on each base.

The lectures were held in the Mess and I, along with my colleagues, all of the officers, were given dire warnings of repercussions.. A local newspaper chappie was sniffing around a few days after but we had already been told that the MoD would deny any such lectures took place. We were told clearly that acknowledging the lectures would be against the official secrets act.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-50627977459977844312014-04-22T09:31:06.281+10:002014-04-22T09:31:06.281+10:00Civil servants are being given lessons on religion...<i>Civil servants are being given lessons on religion amid fears that many have no understanding of Christianity and other faiths.</i><br /><br />As a long term Civil Servant I have never heard of let alone been encouraged to undertake such a course of lessons.<br /><br />The Daily Mail is not a good source for information, it is a scurrilous rag promoting disinformation (as are most MSM newspapers).
