Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
MaxPC, weekly communion wasn’t instituted until fairly recently, mostly due to pressure from Protestants doing it. I believe Pope Leo made the change in the early 1900s. The obligation to attend Sunday Mass and take Holy Communion weekly became Church law in the 4th century. This blog seems to say ...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
My understanding was that one was only required to take communion, following confession of course, once within the period between Easter and Pentecost, one’s so called “Easter Duty.” If I remember correctly, since the Mass is a “sacrifice” one cannot have a Mass without communion. Since the 4th cen...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
You have avoided discussion of the issue of Easter Duty. Could you explain it, or maybe I will.

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist
JayP: .. I would observe some of my Jewish friends are similar. Some are quite serious about their Judaism. Others simply born to it and know little. They aren’t the same group of people. i think i follow your thinking, and i don’t disagree wiith it, however, for purposes of this topic, it’s not a ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
I'm not an engineer and therefore not an expert on any of this. But I'm not imagining how they could put up a temporary bridge for a span this wide. Temporary bridges would make sense for a small river or something where you can just drop a truss in place until you get a better bridge made. But thi...

Re: recommendations for cars/suv
so what's your recommendation for a good used vehicle? either a 4 door car or an suv, small to mid size and why do you recommend that one? I might turn the question around and start from the other end. First find the person/ shop who will be doing the maintenance and repair and find out which vehic...

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology
The theory that Anabaptism had many origins, and is in fact ancient, tracing perhaps to the apostles. Books like Brodbent's "The Pilgrim Church" and Kennedy's "Torch of the Testimony" give this theory. It is more recent. The other predominant theory is that Anabaptism if of Zuri...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
They better get the shipping channel cleared out in less than six months. 6 months is what the people on the local radio station are saying. If these guys in the trade are correct, they will have to use commercial divers to cut the thing into liftable pieces. Be almost a month before the cranes and...

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology
If anyone is interested in Verduin's work but also wants something more specific to Anabaptist history, his book The Reformers and Their Stepchildren covers a lot of the same ground as Anatomy of a Hybrid but spends the bulk of its text observing the relationship between the magisterial and radical...

Re: recommendations for cars/suv
it's interesting to me, that very few people have recommended domestic vehicles. i've been hearing a lot of subaru forester, a lot of toyota, a lot of honda. i think that in this thread, neto and ohio jones were the only ones w anything good to say about domestic cars. i liked my malibu, i mean, at...
