Feast of St. Andrew
November 30, 2006
"The current Successor [to John Paul II] assumes as his primary commitment that of working tirelessly towards the reconstitution of the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers." - Pope Benedict XVI (April 20, 2005)
" ... ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς . . . ἵνα πάντες ἓν ὦσιν, καθὼς σύ, πάτερ, ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν σοί . . . ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς ἕν, ἐγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ σὺ ἐν ἐμοί, ἵνα ὦσιν τετελειωμένοι εἰς ἕν ..." (St. John 17:11, 21, 22-23)
"The true union between Christians is that which Jesus Christ, the Author of the Church, instituted and desired, and which consists in a unity of faith and unity of government." - Pope Leo XIII (Praeclara Gratulationis Publicae, 1894)
"[T]he union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it." - Pope Pius XI (Mortalium animos, 1928)

Bryan,
I think you handled yourself admirably in that discussion in the midst of some ridiculous charges, and demonstrated quite well exectly why I do not hesitate to embrace the faithful believers within the Roman communion my brothers in Christ.
Blessings to you,
Jonathan Bonomo
Thank you very much Jonathan. I thought the same about you in your recent public discussion regarding Baptists/Catholics.
I have a friend who went to GC; his name is Jonathan Beeson; his wife's name is Anastasia. He pastored a church in New Haven for a while. Do you know him or know of him?
In the peace of Christ,

Bryan,
Thank you for your eloquent responses in defense of our faith in Christ and his Church, and in your charity in giving them.
All praise to Jesus Christ!
Bryan,
The name actually sounds somewhat familiar, though I cannot seem to put a face to it.
Bryan,
Just so you know, my Deuteronomy 18 reference in post #156 was not meant as an insult. I in no way want to insinuate that Praying to saints is anything like the offenses mentioned in that chapter. The passage clearly doesn't say or prove what I thought it did at the time.
You're also showing a cool head in the midst of some very stupid rhetoric. I wish I had that ability.
Cheers,
Stewart
No problem Stewart. I didn't take any offense. I appreciate your leaving me this note to clarify.
In the peace of Christ,

Hi--
How funny! I, too, went to GCTS with Jonathan Beeson. I've lost track of where he's at now, though.
Cara Transtrom-Bradley
Hello Cara,
I have his e-mail address. My e-mail address is in my profile. Send me a note, and I'll forward it to him.
In the peace of Christ,
