hello patrick, it really doesn't matter what one one might think, of what your commentary is, has ,or contains.
The counsel of Trent took care of that.
What is interesting is how people are led by the holy spirit-- and how they are doing the path or will of God Yahweh and are fulfilling that destiny..its that pick up your cross..doing the will of God for their individual life
This was certainly not anything that if clearly taught in the roman catholic church

Well you do have a retirement hobby with the roman catholic education belief system. you should have figured out by now that the Roman catholic education system is sub-standard , and religiously lacking.
it's easy to find a roman catholic that is miss informed -and is spiritually dead..they even have to tell people in advance that "next week" we will have a healing mass ! All though every mass is a healing mass- if the Holy spirit is manifest.
Now i been aware of the spiritual reality sense the time i was in 4th grade and went Thur the confirmation ceremony , i was a bit disappointing that everyone did not get the "baptism of the holy spirit"
but the counsel of Trent takes care of that lack of spiritual empowerment, "believe or you are cursed
1..Educational wise-- boysville of michigan and the brothers of holy cross were "crappy" teachers, and leaders, and as Alvin Glombowski said and recognized-- there was no-spiritual -life at that school.
2..Now because i attended and graduated from 4 colleges and 2 universities.. and have taught 12 years in the public school system, and worked for 20 years as a field service engineer/ tech/ huh?
i do have on opinion of the roman catholic educational system--
3..and Additionally -- my mother graduated from Nazareth college in Kalamazoo with a master in public education, and worked as a teacher
4.Now when Jesus requested me to go to bible college - i wouldn't do it-- and spent 3 years refusing this request-- Why-?? because i knew i 'd be harassed -- by spiritually dead religious people.
he recruited and required me to spend more than 5 years working and studying at different colleges.
5.. years ago when i went to medjugorje i observed that particular spirit manifest.. it isn't "Mary" it's a familiar deceiving spirit
it was interesting observing it and talking and shooting up as in a transporter beam.
Look at alll the Roman catholics that go there just to be a witness of something "spiritual happening"
deu 13 is pretty clear-- about what it says about this ..
| eu 13:1 | "If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, | |
      |  Deu 13:2 | "and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods(mary spirits)'--which you have not known--'and let us serve them,' |
| Deu 13:3 | "you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. |
| Deu 13:4 | "You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. |

A miracle often denotes an event attributed to divine intervention. Alternatively, it may be an event attributed to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader.

just as the
Council of Trent: let him be anathema.
was a result of the roman catholic political organization to control and dominate, the people who were interested in spiritual advancement and understanding .
This also justified the roman catholic church
THE TRUE FACE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION -- ROTTEN SPIRITUAL FRUIT FROM THE ABYSS OF HELL
This also justified the roman catholic church
THE TRUE FACE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION -- ROTTEN SPIRITUAL FRUIT FROM THE ABYSS OF HELL
The Roman Catholic Inquisition was one of the greatest disasters ever to befall mankind. In the name of Jesus Christ, Catholic priests mounted an enormous effort to kill all "heretics" in Europe and Britain. Heretics is defined whichever way Rome wanted it defined; it ranged from people who disagreed with official policy, to Hermetic Philosophers [Black Magick Practitioners], to Jews, to Witches, and to the Protestant reformers.
Slaughtering one's enemies is clearly rotten spiritual fruit. During the early part of His ministry, Jesus was approached by two of His disciples -- James and John -- who had just returned from preaching the Gospel message throughout parts of Israel. These two disciples were upset, for some entire towns had refused to even hear their message; they asked the Lord:
"Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?" [Luke 9:54]
Jesus was horrified. He replied:
"You do not know of what sort of spirit you are, for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them from the penalty of eternal death." [Luke 9:55-56; Parallel KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
Let us repeat that most pertinent phrase: "the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives".
Nowhere in Holy Scripture did Jesus ever slaughter anyone who disagreed with him, nor did He ever advocate any of his followers doing so. Neither does any Apostle give this command to the Church later in the New Testament.
In another passage, Jesus reveals the kind of sweet spirit He is introducing to the world. Listen:
"Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease, refreshment, recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good -- not harsh, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant) and My burden is light and easy to be borne." [Matthew 11:29-30; Parallel KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
you patrick j miron
are some -type of delusional religious -ego-manic- who discovered how to research and put together roman catholic "approved scripture"
are some -type of delusional religious -ego-manic- who discovered how to research and put together roman catholic "approved scripture"
all the crap you put together -- makes Jesus someone to avoid, as i tell the many "former " roman catholic people i meet--
The Roman catholic religion wants to deceive you and beat you down because you are a sinner!!! Just like all the white haired roman catholic child molesting priests....
point 7. I like to go to church's where there is the Holy Spirit. -- i can tell the difference if the Holy Spirit is not there-- and it is easy to find roman catholic churches or any type of church that is missing the Presence of the Spirit.

Finally --- i would like to get the name and number of the priest that you confessed your sin of being a liar and slander to .. i have been collecting data for years--
It's not surprising that you don't have the spiritual discernment to identify disciples of Jesus or of Yahweh..
ya sure every thing was invented by the catholic -church- believe what you want -
i really don't know any thing Alvin glombowski knows or has said, when i asked him what the roman catholic priest told him to do for robbing me and slandering me -- he said it"wasn't any of my business"
actually this is scriptural
2. “One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established” (Deut 19:15).
Patrick j miron -you demonstrated that u don't mind being a false witness-- you don't need any first hand evidence.
As Alvin glombowski said about maureen barledge--
" she does the right things for the wrong reasons and every thing she does has "strings attached"

Maureen Barledge is not only a malicious liar and slander , but the first time she defrauded and swindled me and don lowe was in 1969 , we spent the summer working for her benefit to help her sell a couple houses on in Detroit on the street Bewick.
My mother was mad-- because she only gave us a 100 bucks 4 working all summer long.. in contrast that i made 100 dollars a week at my regular job.
But it ws interesting years later .. when alvin glombowski was getting "quotes" to put in new windows in his house.. maureen barledge was "low balling' the window company and didn't want to pay them the price for labor-- of course there is the story when whew sold her Chevy 11 and bought a Camero
Alvin glombowski attitude was -- he felt he wasted that whole summer working on houses with us
Oh i didn't see you there that summer-- but interestingly -- when alvin glombowski made the weak effort to break off the relationship with maureen, she "hopped into bed-- to bind- him with sex" .and her father old man barledge -- would call up in the middle of the night and damand to know "where his 45 year-old daughter was"
i guess she didn't have permission to try to hook a husband-- and her father was a bit out of touch-- but the old man bardage did have both- his old daughter living off him-- and his son also would also sometime stay the night..and he told alvin glombowski -- not to marry his sister.
it was a very dysfunctional roman catholic family...
Now back to the Counsel of Trent-- and the evil and delusions conclusions the roman catholic church decided
let him be anathema.

Council of Trent: Canons on Justification (with a handy summary of Tridentine soteriology)
[originally uploaded in 1997. Summary added: 29 December 2003]
CANON I.-If any one saith, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human nature, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema.
CANON II.-If any one saith, that the grace of God, through Jesus Christ, is given only for this, that man may be able more easily to live justly, and to merit eternal life, as if, by free will without grace, he were able to do both, though hardly indeed and with difficulty; let him be anathema.
CANON III.-If any one saith, that without the prevenient inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without his help, man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, so as that the grace of Justification may be bestowed upon him; let him be anathema.
CANON IV.-If any one saith, that man's free will moved and excited by God, by assenting to God exciting and calling, nowise co-operates towards disposing and preparing itself for obtaining the grace of Justification; that it cannot refuse its consent, if it would, but that, as something inanimate, it does nothing whatever and is merely passive; let him be anathema.
CANON V.-If any one saith, that, since Adam's sin, the free will of man is lost and extinguished; or, that it is a thing with only a name, yea a name without a reality, a figment, in fine, introduced into the Church by Satan; let him be anathema.
CANON VI.-If any one saith, that it is not in man's power to make his ways evil, but that the works that are evil God worketh as well as those that are good, not permissively only, but properly, and of Himself, in such wise that the treason of Judas is no less His own proper work than the vocation of Paul; let him be anathema.
CANON VII.-If any one saith, that all works done before Justification, in whatsoever way they be done, are truly sins, or merit the hatred of God; or that the more earnestly one strives to dispose himself for grace, the more grievously he sins: let him be anathema.
CANON VIII.-If any one saith, that the fear of hell,-whereby, by grieving for our sins, we flee unto the mercy of God, or refrain from sinning,-is a sin, or makes sinners worse; let him be anathema.
CANON IX.-If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.
CANON X.-If any one saith, that men are just without the justice of Christ, whereby He merited for us to be justified; or that it is by that justice itself that they are formally just; let him be anathema.
CANON XI.-If any one saith, that men are justified, either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ, or by the sole remission of sins, to the exclusion of the grace and the charity which is poured forth in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, and is inherent in them; or even that the grace, whereby we are justified, is only the favour of God; let him be anathema.
CANON XII.-If any one saith, that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits sins for Christ's sake; or, that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified; let him be anathema.
CANON XIII.-If any one saith, that it is necessary for every one, for the obtaining the remission of sins, that he believe for certain, and without any wavering arising from his own infirmity and
disposition, that his sins are forgiven him; let him be anathema.
CANON XIV.-If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema.
CANON XV.-If any one saith, that a man, who is born again and justified, is bound of faith to believe that he is assuredly in the number of the predestinate; let him be anathema.
CANON XVI.-If any one saith, that he will for certain, of an absolute and infallible certainty, have that great gift of perseverance unto the end,-unless he have learned this by special revelation; let him be anathema.
CANON XVII.-If any one saith, that the grace of Justification is only attained to by those who are predestined unto life; but that all others who are called, are called indeed, but receive not grace, as being, by the divine power, predestined unto evil; let him be anathema.
CANON XVIII.-If any one saith, that the commandments of God are, even for one that is justified and constituted in grace, impossible to keep; let him be anathema.
CANON XIX.-If any one saith, that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel; that other things are indifferent, neither commanded nor prohibited, but free; or, that the ten commandments nowise appertain to Christians; let him be anathema.
CANON XX.-If any one saith, that the man who is justified and how perfect soever, is not bound to observe the commandments of God and of the Church, but only to believe; as if indeed the Gospel were a bare and absolute promise of eternal life, without the condition of observing the commandments ; let him be anathema.
CANON XXI.-If any one saith, that Christ Jesus was given of God to men, as a redeemer in whom to trust, and not also as a legislator whom to obey; let him be anathema.
CANON XXII.-If any one saith, that the justified, either is able to persevere, without the special help of God, in the justice received; or that, with that help, he is not able; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIII.-lf any one saith, that a man once justified can sin no more, nor lose grace, and that therefore he that falls and sins was never truly justified; or, on the other hand, that he is able, during his whole life, to avoid all sins, even those that are venial,-except by a special privilege from God, as the Church holds in regard of the Blessed Virgin; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIV.-If any one saith, that the justice received is not preserved and also increased before God through good works; but that the said works are merely the fruits and signs of Justification obtained, but not a cause of the increase thereof; let him be anathema.
CANON XXV.-If any one saith, that, in every good work, the just sins venially at least, or-which is more intolerable still-mortally, and consequently deserves eternal punishments; and that for this cause only he is not damned, that God does not impute those works unto damnation; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVI.-If any one saith, that the just ought not, for their good works done in God, to expect and hope for an eternal recompense from God, through His mercy and the merit of Jesus Christ, if so be that they persevere to the end in well doing and in keeping the divine commandments; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVII.-If any one saith, that there is no mortal sin but that of infidelity; or, that grace once received is not lost by any other sin, however grievous and enormous, save by that of infidelity; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVIII.-If any one saith, that, grace being lost through sin, faith also is always lost with it; or, that the faith which remains, though it be not a lively faith, is not a true faith; or, that he, who has faith without charity, is not a Chris taught; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIX.-If any one saith, that he, who has fallen after baptism, is not able by the grace of God to rise again; or, that he is able indeed to recover the justice which he has lost, but by faith alone without the sacrament of Penance, contrary to what the holy Roman and universal Church-instructed by Christ and his Apostles-has hitherto professed, observed, and taught; let him be anathema.
CANON XXX.-If any one saith, that, after the grace of Justification has been received, to every penitent sinner the guilt is remitted, and the debt of eternal punishment is blotted out in such wise, that there remains not any debt of temporal punishment to be discharged either in this world, or in the next in Purgatory, before the entrance to the kingdom of heaven can be opened (to him); let him be anathema.
CANON XXXI.-If any one saith, that the justified sins when he performs good works with a view to an eternal recompense; let him be anathema.
CANON XXXII.-If any one saith, that the good works of one that is justified are in such manner the gifts of God, as that they are not also the good merits of him that is justified; or, that the said justified, by the good works which he performs through the grace of God and the merit of Jesus Christ, whose living member he is, does not truly merit increase of grace, eternal life, and the attainment of that eternal life,-if so be, however, that he depart in grace,-and also an increase of glory; let him be anathema.
CANON XXXIII.-If any one saith,that,by the Catholic doctrine touching Justification, by this holy Synod inset forth in this present decree, the glory of God, or the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ are in any way derogated from, and not rather that the truth of our faith, and the glory in fine of God and of Jesus Christ are rendered (more) illustrious; let him be anathema.

Doctrinal Summary
(of every Chapter and Canon on Justification)
1. Man cannot justify himself (which includes works): contra Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism: Decree on Justification: chapter 5; Canons 1, 2, 3 on Justification.

6. Man must cooperate with God's grace in order to receive an increase in justification: Canons 4, 22.

8. Extrinsic, imputed, merely external or declared justification is false: Canon 11.
9. "Faith in one's own faith" or "assurance of salvation" is false: Decree on Justification: Chapters 9, 12; Canons 12, 13, 14, 15.
10. Men can fall away from grace (but not faith) and justification, through mortal sin, and must persevere: Decree on Justification: Chapters 11, 13, 15; Canons 16, 17, 23, 27, 28.

12. Men are fallen (original sin) and are by nature children of wrath, and cannot be saved by the law: Decree on Justification: Chapter 1.
13. Man has a free will: adversely affected and limited by the fall, but not extinguished: Decree on Justification: Chapter 1.
14. Jesus Christ is the propitiator, through His blood, for the sins of the whole human race (universal atonement): Decree on Justification: Chapter 2.
15. Being born again and regenerated is necessary for grace, justification, redemption, and reception of the benefits of Christ's death (justification through Christ): Decree on Justification:

CANON XX.-If any one saith, that the man who is justified and how perfect soever, is not bound to observe the commandments of God and of the Church, but only to believe; as if indeed the Gospel were a bare and absolute promise of eternal life, without the condition of observing the commandments ; let him be anathema.
CANON XXI.-If any one saith, that Christ Jesus was given of God to men, as a redeemer in whom to trust, and not also as a legislator whom to obey; let him be anathema.
CANON XXII.-If any one saith, that the justified, either is able to persevere, without the special help of God, in the justice received; or that, with that help, he is not able; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIII.-lf any one saith, that a man once justified can sin no more, nor lose grace, and that therefore he that falls and sins was never truly justified; or, on the other hand, that he is able, during his whole life, to avoid all sins, even those that are venial,-except by a special privilege from God, as the Church holds in regard of the Blessed Virgin; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIV.-If any one saith, that the justice received is not preserved and also increased before God through good works; but that the said works are merely the fruits and signs of Justification obtained, but not a cause of the increase thereof; let him be anathema.
CANON XXV.-If any one saith, that, in every good work, the just sins venially at least, or-which is more intolerable still-mortally, and consequently deserves eternal punishments; and that for this cause only he is not damned, that God does not impute those works unto damnation; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVI.-If any one saith, that the just ought not, for their good works done in God, to expect and hope for an eternal recompense from God, through His mercy and the merit of Jesus Christ, if so be that they persevere to the end in well doing and in keeping the divine commandments; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVII.-If any one saith, that there is no mortal sin but that of infidelity; or, that grace once received is not lost by any other sin, however grievous and enormous, save by that of infidelity; let him be anathema.
CANON XXVIII.-If any one saith, that, grace being lost through sin, faith also is always lost with it; or, that the faith which remains, though it be not a lively faith, is not a true faith; or, that he, who has faith without charity, is not a Chris taught; let him be anathema.
CANON XXIX.-If any one saith, that he, who has fallen after baptism, is not able by the grace of God to rise again; or, that he is able indeed to recover the justice which he has lost, but by faith alone without the sacrament of Penance, contrary to what the holy Roman and universal Church-instructed by Christ and his Apostles-has hitherto professed, observed, and taught; let him be anathema.
CANON XXX.-If any one saith, that, after the grace of Justification has been received, to every penitent sinner the guilt is remitted, and the debt of eternal punishment is blotted out in such wise, that there remains not any debt of temporal punishment to be discharged either in this world, or in the next in Purgatory, before the entrance to the kingdom of heaven can be opened (to him); let him be anathema.
CANON XXXI.-If any one saith, that the justified sins when he performs good works with a view to an eternal recompense; let him be anathema.
CANON XXXII.-If any one saith, that the good works of one that is justified are in such manner the gifts of God, as that they are not also the good merits of him that is justified; or, that the said justified, by the good works which he performs through the grace of God and the merit of Jesus Christ, whose living member he is, does not truly merit increase of grace, eternal life, and the attainment of that eternal life,-if so be, however, that he depart in grace,-and also an increase of glory; let him be anathema.
CANON XXXIII.-If any one saith,that,by the Catholic doctrine touching Justification, by this holy Synod inset forth in this present decree, the glory of God, or the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ are in any way derogated from, and not rather that the truth of our faith, and the glory in fine of God and of Jesus Christ are rendered (more) illustrious; let him be anathema.

Doctrinal Summary
(of every Chapter and Canon on Justification)
1. Man cannot justify himself (which includes works): contra Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism: Decree on Justification: chapter 5; Canons 1, 2, 3 on Justification.
2. Justification is by Grace Alone: Decree on Justification: chapter 8; Canon 10.
3. Initial justification by Grace Alone may be increased through mortification, observing God's commandments, and works (see James 2:24): Decree on Justification: chapters 7,10, 11.
4. Justification by Faith Alone is false: Decree on Justification: chapter 11; Canons 9, 29.
5. Good works and merit proceed wholly from the grace of God through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf (not from ourselves). They are necessary but they do not earn salvation, which
is by grace alone: Decree on Justification: chapter 16; Canons 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 32, 33.
6. Man must cooperate with God's grace in order to receive an increase in justification: Canons 4, 22.
7. Good works done in God's grace really are good, and not evil because of our fallen nature, and they deserve a reward (not salvation, but recompense): Canons 6, 7, 25, 31.
8. Extrinsic, imputed, merely external or declared justification is false: Canon 11.
9. "Faith in one's own faith" or "assurance of salvation" is false: Decree on Justification: Chapters 9, 12; Canons 12, 13, 14, 15.
10. Men can fall away from grace (but not faith) and justification, through mortal sin, and must persevere: Decree on Justification: Chapters 11, 13, 15; Canons 16, 17, 23, 27, 28.
11. Temporal punishment for sin in this world and the next (purgatory) is necessary for most people: Canon 30.
12. Men are fallen (original sin) and are by nature children of wrath, and cannot be saved by the law: Decree on Justification: Chapter 1.
13. Man has a free will: adversely affected and limited by the fall, but not extinguished: Decree on Justification: Chapter 1.
14. Jesus Christ is the propitiator, through His blood, for the sins of the whole human race (universal atonement): Decree on Justification: Chapter 2.
15. Being born again and regenerated is necessary for grace, justification, redemption, and reception of the benefits of Christ's death (justification through Christ): Decree on Justification:
Chapters 3, 4.
16. Adults can and must be disposed by God's grace to accept God's graces for justification, repent, do penance, and be baptized: Decree on Justification: Chapters 6, 7.
17. Justification and sanctification are joined together, caused by Jesus Christ's Passion on the Cross and God's grace, and accepted freely by man. Faith, hope, and charity are also infused
in this justification: Decree on Justification: Chapter 7.
18. Those who fall away from following the Lord and from grace can be restored through the sacrament of penance: Decree on Justification: Chapter 14.
19. The fear of hell is not a sin: Canon 8.
20. One must obey Jesus Christ as well as trust Him: Canon 21.

- Yup. I'm anathamatized by Trent- as are all who believe the Pauline doctrine of justification. Rome isn't anti-Lutheran. It just condemns all of us to hell. Nice that it's inconsistently said otherwise elsewhere (interesting that the equally "infallible" Vatican II and Trent contradict each other on this point). Presumably, though, you are at least honest enough to recognize the JDDJ for the fraud it is.

- There are many good reasons here not to be a Catholic. You can only come to the conclusions of the Council of Trent by tossing out large portions of the New Testament and making up your own doctrines, which the Catholic Church claims it has the power to do. If I have to decide between the doctrines of the Apostle Paul and the theologians of the Roman Catholic Church and bet my soul on the outcome, I will go with the Apostle.

You can only come to the conclusions of the Reformers by tossing out large portions of the New Testament and making up your own doctrines, which the Reformers certainly did.

- Bob and Bill . Could you please both of you be kind enough and tell us , how is Trent against saint Paul and his doctrine on justification? By the way , there is no such thing as Pauline doctrine of justification as if you are saying that in the bible and in the new testament there are different doctrines of justification . So again and very humbly and kindly , i insist that you explain to us Catholics , which canon of the council of Trent contradicted saint Paul and the bible ? Thank you both very much in advance for the tons of explanations whith which you are going to provide us . GBU
