Roll Call!
DhasaDreamer
Welcome Chele!
Sorry to say this isn't a very active group. Perhaps we could do a
"roll call" and we'll see how many members will respond. You just
give
your name, where you live, and some information about yourself.
I'll start. My name is Dhasa and I am 54 years old. I live in
Oregon,
USA and have two children, both 10 years old. My main complaints
would
be back spasms, limited energy, and brain fog/cognitive issues. I'm
a
homeschooling mom and writer. I would love to have others to ask
questions and share information about how we all are dealing with our
postpolio symptoms.

time, although these were far more lenient.
The book which contains this law, the first of all, is itself the most
ancient book in the world, those of Homer, Hesiod, and others, being six or
seven hundred years later.
621. The creation of the deluge being past, and God no longer requiring to
destroy the world, nor to create it anew, nor to give such great signs of
Himself, He began to establish a people on the earth, purposely formed, who
were to last until the coming of the people whom the Messiah should fashion
by His spirit.
622. The creation of the world beginning to be distant, God provided a
single contemporary historian, and appointed a whole people as guardians of
this book, in order that this history might be the most authentic in the
world, and that all men might thereby learn a fact so necessary to know, and
which could only be known through that means.
623. Japhet begins the genealogy.
Joseph folds his arms, and prefers the younger.
624. Why should Moses make the lives of men so long, and their generations
so few?
Because it is not the length of years, but the multitude of generations,
which renders things obscure. For truth is perverted only by the change of
men. And yet he puts two things, the most memorable that were ever imagined,
namely, the creation and the deluge, so near that we reach from one to the
other.
625. Shem, who saw Lamech, who saw Adam, saw also Jacob, who saw those who
saw Moses; therefore the deluge and the creation are true. This is
conclusive among certain people who understand it rightly.
626. The longevity of the patriarchs, instead of causing the lo

Unjust judges, make not your own laws on the moment; judge by those which
are established, and by yourselves. Vae qui conditis leges iniquas.212
Miracles endless, false.
In order to weaken your adversaries, you disarm the whole Church.
If they say that our salvation depends upon God, they are "heretics." If
they say that they are obedient to the Pope, that is "hypocrisy." If they
are ready to subscribe to all the articles, that is not enough. If they say
that a man must not be killed for an apple, "they attack the morality of
Catholics." If miracles are done among them, it is not a sign of holiness,
and is, on the contrary a symptom of heresy.
This way in which the Church has existed is that truth has been without
dispute, or, if it has been contested, there has been the Pope, or, failing
him, there has been the Church.
850. The five propositions condemned, but no miracle; for the truth was not
attacked. But the Sorbonne... but the bull...
It is impossible that those who love God with all their heart should fail to
recognise the Church; so evident is she. It is impossible that those who do
not love God should be convinced of the Church.
Miracles have such influence that it was necessary that God should warn men
not to believe in them in opposition to Him, all clear as it is that there
is a God. Without this they would have been able to disturb men.
And thus so far from these passages, Deut. 13, making against the authority
of the miracles, nothing more indicates their influence. And the same in
respect of Antichrist. "To seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."
851. The history of the man born blind.
What says Saint Paul? Does he continually speak of the evidence of the
prophecies? No, but of his own miracle. What says Jesus Christ? Does He
speak of the evidence of the prophecies? No; His death had not fulfilled
them. But he says, Si non fe
