I'm agnostic these days

raised a Catholic. My parents are amazing people, gotta give them credit. Anyway, I have been through a rough time lately, but just when I thought there was no hope, things start going better. It's weird, but I want to thank somebody. That's all I have to say I think.

So we should be supportive of this poster, agnosticism or no. Everyone's spiritual journey is different.

as Jesus answered in Matthew 4:4, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

The infallibility of Pascendi Dominici Gregis includes a conviction against agnosticism :

Pope Pius X - Pascendi Dominici Gregis - On the Doctrine of the Modernists - 8 September 1907 A.D.

"Let us turn for a moment, Venerable Brethren, to that most disastrous doctrine of agnosticism. By it every avenue to God on the side of the intellect is barred to man, while a better way is supposed to be opened from the side of a certain sense of the soul and action."

"We order that you do everything in your power to drive out of your dioceses, even by solemn interdict, any pernicious books that may be in circulation there."

Oddly enough, I met your spirit of teaching, rug, here :

http://risen-from-the-dead.forumotion.com/t26-regarding-grand-larceny-against-elias-of-jesus

The apostate site of Catholic Answers attempted to cite charity as do you, just like the hypocrites whom Jesus convicted during His walk with us.

When that "certain sense of the soul and action" is nothing but hatred repackaged, one comes face to face with some one who does not follow Jesus' commandments.

On the other hand, Matthew 22:36-40 is.

Banning books is not the way to achieve anything of value, spiritual or otherwise.

I have a question for you. Do you belong to the SSPV?
