Comments on: The Orthodox & Contraception http://squarezero.org/2006/the-orthodox-contraception/ Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:47:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: BothLungs http://squarezero.org/2006/the-orthodox-contraception/comment-page-1/#comment-69347 BothLungs Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:07:18 +0000 http://squarezero.org/2006-0511/the-orthodox-contraception/#comment-69347 I am a Ukrainian Catholic, I had a Ukrainian Catholic father with a Roman Catholic mother. I have attended both churches and still do. My wife is Greek Orthodox. I received a dispensation to marry her in a Roman Catholic Church. Thankfully, the Roman & Ukrainian Catholic Church allow her to receive the Sacraments. My children are Ukrainian Catholic. Like me they are becoming familiar with both the Divine Liturgy in Ukrainian and English and the Catholic Mass in English and we are learning Christian Latin together. This experience has been very unifying. Especially in a world that just loves to nit-pick. After reading this blog, I have decided, that I will never again consider becoming orthodox. That I am unqualified to make such a decision. The schism is a sin that falls on the bishops and not on the laity to solve. Furthermore, I have always been stunned by the paranoia of orthodox laity and clergy alike in regards to Roman Catholics. The Schism occurred nearly a thousand years ago, but to the orthodox it is like it just happened. Believe me, this is not something that devout Roman Catholic laity or clergy ever ever talk about (except with the orthodox). Beyond the sacraments and weekly church attendance, they are more concerned about issues of life and death like abortion, caring for the poor, fighting immorality in today's mainstream culture, the impending destruction the traditional family. While the orthodox want to insist there is some great chasm between us & them. The fact is that laity can't plumb the distinctions except by relying on an authority: either orthodox or catholic experts. So if you clergy out there really want to reunite the church it is up to YOU, not us, the laity. You are the leaders, so lead. However, don't you dare look to us laity to fight your battles, we can't keep up with the claims and counter claims. We have just enough time to rouse our children out of bed, get them dressed and out the door for church/school, feed them and take care of their other daily needs by working before getting them up the next day and starting it all over again. Believe no one is ever going to ask one of the laity on either side to show up at a synod of reconciliation between east & west to vote on anything. So you do it for us. OK.

I have even asked God to light up a room bright blue in front of Bryan Austin of Montrose, Pa. Find him. Ask him, I am highly intelligent and I am not here to die. I tried to help you and some of you did not want my help. I pray and I pray and I pray and you all keep talking about nonsensical stuff.

He went into prayer and God told him she can prove it! Her color is blue and Joseph's is yellow. So I proved it many times over in front of many types of people and even asked God to prepare you for this news. The blue apparition, the signs, the wonders...always point to God. I have my own collection of photos. I am not a fake. No one, I repeat no one, is me. I am not pretending to be back. God is not pretending to avenge the enemy either. I have warned you about chastisement. You were shown signs. My family was shown many signs that God put me in this second time around. How many signs do you need but one! Jesus! I went around knocking on doors at 2 years old, do you know who Jesus is? I am not evil, I am his beloved Mary sent back and that is my face in the cheese sandwich miracle.

He is not there. Yet I can say God is here with me and ask for a sign and get it. You don't know who you are messing with. MAMMA IS MAD. Beware of an angry woman.

M is the 13 th letter in the alphabet. When the pope was dying, I prayed, put in a good word for me and I will pray for your soul. He put M on his casket. The ones of God know each other. There are angels among you and you know it not. That is in the Bible. I know that Bible. I am in it. I am prophecy. So when the world is astounded by a cake not baking in a preheated oven in normal time and comes out exactly the way it went in when I said it would not bake...you had better think about how this woman feels about being taken advantage of, lied to, and about.

People saw a rainbow huge as a highway in Wilkes Barre, Pa. I had just said to God, "I haven't seen a rainbow in so long." Right then, a huge one appeared like a highway...not an arch. It stopped traffic. If you think I am kidding on here, think again. The matter is much to serious to kid about. I sware to you, I am the Mary that I said I am at my birth. I gave no middle name and no last name but if I had a choice, it would be Mary Christ. Miracles still happen around me when I pray. I am called the Rainbow Queen.
