The footnote in question is taken from Luke 24:26.
[26] That the Messiah should suffer . . . : Luke is the only New Testament writer to speak explicitly of a suffering Messiah (Luke 24:26, 46; Acts 3:18; 17:3; 26:23). The idea of a suffering Messiah is not found in the Old Testament or in other Jewish literature prior to [...]

Please disregard my last post.  I now concede that it’s impossible for an orthodox Catholic to vote for Barack Obama without committing sin.  This is what all the Catholic bishops in Texas have proclaimed, and I believe their interpretation of the USCCB document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship is authentic.  No other bishops have contradicted their statements, and [...]

Rocco Palmo wrote a post about the opening ceremonies and the agenda of the synod of bishops.
This synod seems to be more of a celebration and ecumenical dialogue session than anything else.  While this, in and of itself, is a good thing, I must confess that I’m a tad disappointed.  It was my hope that [...]
