Balloon drop? Over-react much, Donald? nt

Orthodox Catholics recognize the "indelible mark," as regards the sacraments

of baptism, confirmation, and holy orders, just as they recognize the doctrine of Transubstantiation.

Orthodox Catholics also recognize the "indelible mark" of baptism being valid in numerous Christian religions.
Therefore, a person could, either with or without full knowledge, act or declare oneself to be a Christian by virtue of baptism while at the same time removing oneself from the practice of Catholicism.

You said it so much better than I.

A phone call interrupted my response.

Kaine traveled to Honduras with the Jesuit volunteers.

While not common for Catholics to volunteer for mission service, it is not unusual for a young man of college or graduate age to spend time working among people of lesser means.
You could consider it similar to Peace Corps volunteer service.

Pence is a CINO

Catholic in Name Only, and we're not even sure he calls himself a Catholic at this time. (He won't say.)

Just because one was brought up in a Catholic family doesn't men one remains Catholic, as many DUers who respond in the Religion Forum make quite clear.

Ohio's Gov. Kasich was raised Catholic but chose another faith along the way (his right to do so), but we wouldn't claim that he is Catholic in 2016.

Does Virginia have a Dem. lieutenant governor to replace McAuliffe

in the event McAuliffe moved to the Senate?

You are correct, we Dems are too nice.

But it has worked well for Joe Biden, among others.
And I recall that Biden did well against his Repub. VP opponents.
Instead of laughing out loud at some of their answers, he just gave that broad smile, and that said it all.
Pence will go over the top in debate, and Kaine will calmly present facts.

Nothing to fear.

You've got to be kidding! In today's world VP of the US is very significant.

Pres. Obama confers regularly, if not daily, with Joe Biden.
Did you consider Cheney a ribbon-cutter with a good personality?

Let's hope you were joking.

Do you consider Pence tough?

Who looks more bland than Pence?
I believe Kaine has more intellectual depth than Pence, and we know Kaine knows foreign affairs.

Are you on the right site?

Take a deep breath.
