Hi Miguel,
Re the first line of your reply... did you mean 'for God's sake' ;-?
Comment: I wrote what I wanted to. This is Goanet, not Godnet ;-(
>Now that Purgatory has effectively been eliminated, what is the
purpose of praying for the dead?
Comment: AFAIK, This statement does not hold good for good catholics, with
minor flaws. If it has been eliminated, no one has told them the good news
yet. ;-(
I think that prayers are said primarily to benefit the person doing
the praying. There is an undeniable sense of peace sitting by oneself
either in a church or watching a sunset. That internal dialogue can
take many forms but if done on a timetable with a sense of duty, it's
purpose is defeated.
Comment: Your words. No dispute from my side.
A barren woman praying for children, who
suddenly conceives after visting Potta is not my idea of a miracle.
What is truly a miracle is the conception of a zygote without any male
input in a species which is known for sexual reproduction
Comment: Celebrate Parthenogenesis on o8 September or 08 December. You will
admit that permanently giving up SMOKING is nothing short of a miracle ;-))
We are asked to take this miracle on FAITH. What, in your opinion, is
the difference between 'faith' and 'superstition'.
Comment: For faith refer to Hebrews 11:1ff [NT]. for Superstition refer to
Goa Sudharop Awardee Mr. Nigale or to George Pinto. That Goanet is
Goa-centric is a superstition, too. We discuss Iraq, Bush, anti-semetics and
the like. Another word for superstition is a "flame bait"...it attract
maximum postings and Mario thinks it is a miracle ;-))
We are slowly learning the downsides of the excessive meat consumption we
have come to take for granted recently.
Comment: That explains your new email ID...vege hotdog ;-))
