Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses. Christ Jesus unveiled more of the spiritual basis of the moral law, but of this law he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17;
Mrs. Eddy in her revelation of Christian Science shows us that human behavior in accord with the moral law is scientifically related to divine Truth. And in this scientific relationship we find the basis for the healing of sin. That homosexuality is a deviation from the moral law is made plain in the Bible, where it is recorded that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "If a man ... lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:13;
In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount we find the harshness of the Mosaic law modified. We also find emphasis placed more on motives than on overt acts. But we do not find any actual change in the rightness or wrongness of behavior in regard to sex. Lust is explained as a thing of the heart, and Christian Science shows that the motives of the heart govern the acts of the body as well as the health of the body.

Is cathopedia catholic enough for you?
You are as ignorant as adamant in your ignorance so I don’t think this will make any difference for your bigoted mindset but still it’s funny to see you squirm while trying to justify your position.
I used the popes version of the story just because they should be considered the highest authority by people like you. If they did decide something that should be the law for all Catholics or are you suggesting you have more authority than the popes who lived during padre Pio’s time?
Catholics do worship images, have you ever heard of so called “holy cards”? Italy is full of it and in Pietrelcina there’s a very profitable business running around them.
Three lines under this statement
You really can’t make any sense, do you?
Even though I made repetitions? Too bad.
So what was I wrong about…
You don’t believe the article you sent me.
You only believe his prohibition (not condemnation) and not the reversion of the prohibition.
Don’t forget calumny was flying… (Time to pray).
Even St. Joseph of Cupertino had a similar condemnation and reversion story.
Like the link stated, he had many enemies who wanted him out of the way. He was misreported to Pius 11 probably.
Even St. Bernadette, they had the Grotto barred at first.
Many people in the course of History have been laid greater allegations, but at the end, the dark cloud normally clears.
And can you show me a link also where Catholics say they worship images?

Just 12 euros for a set of “santini” with dedicated prayers on the back! Hurry up, stock is low and gullible people are abound!
He refused to be visited by a doctor designated by the sant’Uffizio because he knew he would have been found a con. He was reinstated by people living well beyond his time and unable to corroborate or contradict his statements so it bear no weight in defining whether his wounds were of divine origin or not.
When exumed from his tomb his body presented the normal state of decay a cadaver should be at after 40 years.
He was a con man who had the luck to be born when the catholic church needed a con man to recover a bit of the influence it was losing due to people better education and he was used by the church itself exactly for this scope.
The same goes for the three poor children who were taken advantage of by the church with their story about Mary appearance. So far all the profecies related to their tale have been proven unfounded, will there ever be a time when Christians will wake up from their fever dreams and start acting as normal humans in social environments? Only time will tell
You mean the Dancing Sun of Fatima?
We, just like in the old Testament, we also have prophets. Most prophecies were about the great apostasy.
You are full of half-baked stories.
Italy is barely Catholic now. What are those two beads supposed to represent?
I suggest praying Rosaries instead. It is traditional, and has a lot of indulgences.
Delete all the images on all your devices, and brake all the statues in the law court and on every street.
Catholics pray with things and not to things.
It is better to look at an image of Jesus than to look at a bare wall.
Sure buddy, whatever you say.
By the way, going outside and touch grass is a much better choice than watching an image of Jesus or a bare wall but there are many other options at your disposal, such as DnD, music, art, sports, literature or any other passtime you maybe believe to be satanic or whatever. Don’t throw your only chance at life away following something you can’t see or prove it’s there
As food is to the body, prayer is to the soul.
🎄 Joyful Christmas in advance.
