Does Jesus -- just like the little girl Heather in the Jones Elementary child's story -- likewise have two mommies?

A local pastor...NOT Bishop Flores! O.K.? O.K.! :)

See the footnotes to yesterday's posting below!

New generation of authentic Jesus Christ - believing Roman Catholic Bishops is well - represented by the Most Reverend Daniel E. Flores of Brownsville, Texas.

"CFLC: Bishop Daniel E. Flores reminds attendees Jesus continues to come to us..."

And as he reminds us in Today's Catholic, Friday November 19, 2010:

"While the word catholic in a general sense first appears in the New Testament in terms of Jesus' coming for all nations, the words took on a more specific sense in the late third and in the fourth centuries in response to the Arian Heresy."

Were the Arians of yesterday much like Saint Mary Magdalene's clergy today?

In Brackettville, Texas?

Zip 78832?

You bet they were!

Just read on .... :) *

"The Arians held that Jesus was not fully God but kind of like the highest possible angel God could have sent, noted Bishop Flores.

"The Arians could not buy the fact that God himself would become flesh.

"Those who came to be called Catholics opposed this view, believing God so loved the world that he came himself..

"[R]elated the bishop What is the good news if we can't proclaim to the world that God came himself in the mystery of the Incarnation, in the flesh. Everything hangs on this..."

*Here locally we hear such things from our clergy as, let us say, things more or less along these lines:

An ordained priest:

"Jesus -- just like the little girl Heather in the child's story - - likewise has two mommies.

An ordained permanent deacon:

"When was the Virgin Mary finally saved?

"When did she come to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior?

"No!

"Dennis!

" Forget that stuff about Cana!

"She still wouldn't have known more than the fact that her Son was really a somebody with the local wine merchants -- more than likely they were Phoenicians from either Tyre or Sidon.

"Thus, it was vitally important [for her own salvation??!!] that she be baptized with water and so that would most likely have happened between the Ascension and Pentecost..."
