: :: Okay. Define "Saint"
: : I thought all Catholics knew this. You can look it up, CeCe. There's no need for me to have to do that, nor to define sin and basic concepts like that.
: You as a Christian leader do in fact have that responsibility indeed!
No, CeCe, I don't have that responsibility. Every adult Catholic should already know what the Church teaches about sin, Saints, salvation, why there can be a devil without having a duoverse (the Devil is a creature, a fallen angel, not one with equal power to God), etc. And if you want to know about it, there's the Catechism of the Church, which is a good summary of Catholic teaching, or your local parish, which can provide a refresher for you.
This is a discussion board, and the thread is on levels of consciousness. It's not an adult education class to update you on the teachings of the Church.
Not much else to say, CeCe. If you don't like my "tone," it's because you regard your personal intuitions and inspirations as equal to those of the Catholic Tradition, and seem to show very little respect for its wisdom, about which you know very little indeed!
Respectfully,
Phil
