What do you think of the faith of St Francis of Assissi, which was considered a "minority" mystical view in the Catholic church. But which was accepted by the Catholic church.

In this discussion Richard Rohr explains how people are leaving the church upon entering college and universities, and turning to atheism and agnosticism, but it is not because they are rejecting the true Christ. It's because they are rejecting the false majority doctrines which he says are missing the mark.

Every trinity religion on earth is false. I truly believe there cant be a doubt whatsoever that the scholars know 100% for sure they teach lies. They cannot possibly not know.

AHA! Don't have time to look at the video at this moment, but in my theological study group, we are reading the book Care for Creation, which is about St. Francis of Assisi and his way of life and his connection to all of creation as a connection to God.

I'm about halfway through. As a person who loves the ocean and the woods and feels closest to God in those settings, it speaks to me.

That's great. I am so happy to learn about St Francis and that his "heretical" beliefs (to Protestants) are accepted as orthodoxy by the Roman Catholic church. So very different from the kind of church I was raised in. I like the idea of the entire universe being the body of Christ.

And the word "Christ" has absolutely nothing to do with any religious faith or doctrine.

I am Episcopalian. We're not the same as the other children.

I keep meaning to visit my local Episcopalian congregation. I think I could get along well with them.

I think so, too. While they stand and say the Nicene Creed every Sunday (which is strategically placed after the sermon just in case the priest says something that doesn't agree--I am not making this up), questioning, having a different opinion, etc., is OK. The Anglican communion overall is more about community and participation than "right belief".

Plus, I like ritual and history, so the combination of the ancient and contemporary thought works for me.

You've probably seen this before, but the No. 1 item is pretty accurate!

Episcopalians tell practicing homosexuals--- you are saved
The bible says the opposite. Those teaching the opposite of what Jesus would teach are his opposite.

No, I'd never seen that. Funny though. So sad the way Robin Williams died.

I know. That's a celebrity death I truly felt sad over.
