Loading...It really bothers me that the WA takes away the freedom of the member nations to pass laws like male circumcision, abortion, and marijuana legalization. I am trying to draft legislation that would protect the member nations from that sort of power, but it is proving quite difficult, if not impossible. More impossible than anything else =C
Saint Phillipe: Unfortunately, if PMC is repealed, it'll likely be followed up by a resolution which bans the practice entirely.
CD: Whether a nation decides to infringe upon the religious freedom of Orthodox Jews by banning male circumcision is of no concern to me. And I see no reason why an international authority should impose itself and threaten the right of a political community to make such a ban. Accordingly, I have no problem with the Orthodox Jew who creates his own state and mandates the practice. I don't quite understand your Jesus argument; Christ fulfilled the Old Law; Christians are called to the circumcision of the heart, not of the flesh.
Auralia: I wouldn't support such a resolution banning the practice. But that isn't a fine argument in favor of keeping the current law which is just as bad.
Hey guys guess what I was out of my old group and then I was banned for leaving after, I left.
A majority of the group is good but not all of it.
Welcome to Catholic! I'm sorry that you had troubles with your former group.
Some silly prod news: The Anglicans aren't too sure about women bishops but as a modern secular organization they must slavishly follow every demand of the women's movement.
So they've got a ton of women to sign a petition which uses the Authority of Women to request women are not put in positions of authority.

Well then welcome Planet Gabriel!
Please feel free to take part in the discussions.
Oire: Brillant thinking! Put women in charge of putting women out of office! =D
CD: I would vote in favor of the repeal because of the mandatory status issue SP has pointed out. I too find the act itself very inoffensive.
But neither do I wish to take part in foreign legislation concerning this, nor will I want to share the decision about this matters on Vinician Soil. Do it, or don't. But don't make it a mandatory law for all.
Auralia: You're probably working on the oldest Puzzle here in NS. We used to discuss this when the WA was still the UN. Some people even took offense if other didn't join the WA because our endorsment system used to be a very important Charter issue. One stubborn Irishman hasn't adhered to the day, and with every unsolicited WA-Mail I get, I feel more and more that he was right all along.
So, today at the vigil mass will be the first time that I get to administer the Holy Eucharist as a Eucharistic Minister. Apparently, according to Canon, Eucharistic Ministers are technically known as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist (Canon 230.3). They are known as extraordinary because they are only to be used sparingly and only when an able cleric/deacon is unavailable to serve the entire congregation. It is the same with lectors and altar servers. This is something they didn't teach us in the RCIA program.
Though I am against the practice of EMHC's, I congratulate you on this great oppurtunity, Etnofaz.
