As this Sunday comes to a close, I'd like to share Fr. Brendan McGuire's Homily with you...it's the - TyroneIrish - 4:35am 8/3/26 (19) [View All]

Here are some of my thoughts on Fr. Brendan's Homily... - TyroneIrish - 1:58pm 8/3/26
- So, the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes was not actually a miracle. - NedoftheHill - 3:25pm 8/3/26
  - And, a little more on Miracles... [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 4:42pm 8/3/26
  - More for you on the 'Loaves and Fishes' miracle... - TyroneIrish - 4:15pm 8/3/26
  - It's thought provoking at the very least...even the Disciples had Loaves and Fishes with them...why - TyroneIrish - 3:51pm 8/3/26
    - Don't want to answer the question unless it helps your Party? Par for the course. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:20pm 8/3/26
      - I’ve given you proof that there are different schools of thought…just accept reality. That’s an - TyroneIrish - 6:44pm 8/3/26
        
        I asked about "Fr. B." Your answer doesn't mention him. - NedoftheHill - 8:32pm 8/3/26
        
        You haven’t explained whether or not you accept his Homily on the ‘Miracle’ of the Loaves & Fishes… - TyroneIrish - 9:45pm 8/3/26
        
        That has nothing to do with the questions he asked you. [NT] - Hensou - 10:10pm 8/3/26
        
        What are your thoughts on the OP?…I.e. his perspective on the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes? - TyroneIrish - 10:30pm 8/3/26
        
        That has nothing to do with the questions he asked you, Claude. [NT] - Hensou - 10:36pm 8/3/26
        
        He should start his own thread on those questions...which are unrelated to my OP...same goes for you [NT] - TyroneIrish - 12:54am 8/4/26
        
        You answered. You don't go to Mass. You just use these homilies as political leverage. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:35am 8/4/26
        
        Would caring for your wife who injured her ankle before Mass justify missing it? - TyroneIrish - 3:09pm 8/4/26
        
        You're the one who can't say you attend weekly Mass. Now you say your wife has weekly ankle injury? - NedoftheHill - 6:59pm 8/4/26
        
        Do you accept the message of “Sharing” in Fr. Brendan’s modern - TyroneIrish - 6:34am 8/4/26
        
        It’s not modern. It’s not unique. It’s recycled secular humanism from the 1800’s. - Hensou - 11:08am 8/4/26
