Is it really true that the Catholic churches are now being instructed to ommit the divine name from all forms of service? If so, why? Does this also mean that any glass mossaics etc featuring YAHWEH will be replaced? Call me curious...
Really? Maybe Chuck knows. My friend got an email about it. Apparently all the bishops etc are receiving or have received notice of it. Hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag.
Pure bull, I will be rude for a moment, do you really beleive this stuff or are you merely posting hate filled comments about the catholic church merely to make some people consider it as real ??
The early church, even Jesus would have not wrote the name of God, so it is actually bibical to do so if they did. Jesus hisself would have never written out God's name, it was considered to sacred to do so, that is why the vowels of God's name was not written in the Old Testment writings in the orginal texts.

Excuse me but since when was I making hate comments???? I was asking a fair question - or so I thought. I don't personally know any Catholic bigwigs so I thought I would bring my question to a place where I know there are some who know a lot about Catholic teachings. All you need to do is say true or false! Obviously it's false so thankyou. I don't take fw'd emails as hearsay but I did find something on the net about it so thought I'd enquire a bit further....ok? Peace man!
BTW it is evident that Jesus did use God's name openly, just one example Luke 4:16-21. If he made God's name known to men then he would have not have expected it to be excluded from writings, or would he?
In the mid-20th century some old fragments of the Greek Septuagint existing in Jesus day were discovered containing the divine name, written in Hebrew form. This tells me that the first century christians were quite comfortable using God's name.
