My views on this are:-

The Eucharist or Mass is the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Catholics believe the Mass makes present Christ's sacrifice of Himself. The Mass has two main parts. The first part, the liturgy of the word, consists of prayers, hymns, readings from the Bible, a sermon, and the recitation of the Nicene Creed. The second part is the liturgy of the Eucharist. During this part, according to Catholic teaching, the priest, acting in Jesus's name and by the power of the Holy Spirit, transforms bread and wine into Christ's body and blood. The congregation is then invited to receive Christ Himself in Holy Communion.

Catholics believe that during the Mass, Christ is truly present, sins are forgiven, and God's Spirit is given. The members of the congregation are closely united with one another, the whole church, and their fellow human beings. Catholics must participate in the Mass on Saturday evenings or Sundays and on holy days of obligation, such as Christmas. They must receive Holy Communion at least once a year, at Easter time.

Hi, ROLCAM!

So, you're saying that your views are exactly the same as that which is quoted from the following site?

Clough,

I have to disagree with you.
The original author of my quote ,which I agree
With comes with the compliments of:-

Contributor: Robert P. Imbelli, Ph.D. Associate Prof. of Theology, Boston College.

The source you quote lifted this from IMBELLI
Without acknowledgement.
Two wrongs do not make a right.

At least there was attribution that those were not his words. Your post came off as if those were your own words. I was shocked to see that they were lifted word for word - a big no-no.

Thanks, Need!

I did acknowledge the source of my information, actually twice, ROLCAM. It was at the bottom of my post and toward the top of it. As far as pointing fingers at "lifting", I hope that you're pointing those fingers at yourself!

My point is, that copying and pasting information from other sources without giving credit to the sources and the author or authors, if possible, of the information and making it seem like it is something that you wrote, is not something that might be legal and is certainly not something that this site supports, nor is it fair to the original authors and/or sites that have listed the material legitimately.

"Fair Use" of copyrighted material is something that can be okay for things that are copyrighted and copied and pasted from and to sites on the Internet. But, that's not the crux of the subject here.

This site is extremely well indexed, moderated and archived. Those things not being listed in any order of importance. Much more so than a lot of other sites like it. Its very easy to use, very much so unlike most of the others, if not in comparison to all of them.

If you haven't seen my response on the following thread, I hope that you'll read it.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/writing/sinking-our-teeth-into-couldnt-care-less-311060.html

I edited and closed your thread there. Yet, you continue to copy and paste and plagiarize without giving credit and posting your own thoughts in the original posts. I copy and paste quite a bit on this site. Not as much as you do. But, I do always try to cite the original sources and authors if the name of the author is available. I also put in my original thoughts about what I have copied and pasted.

I and others give freely of our time here to answer questions. It's something that we take very seriously, most of the time. Sometimes, there is the opportunity for jocularity to happen. Things that are frivolous that should be posted in some sort of discussion so that the posters can relax, are posted in the appropriate Member Discussions areas.

If someone comes along who just wants to fill up his time by posting things that appear to be serious or homework-like in nature, that he knows that he could find easily by doing the searches himself, then it doesn't really contribute to the richness of the site as being the best question and answer site on the Internet! This is like a big encyclopedia of knowledge here, and I for one, think that that is something that needs to be preserved for the integrity of the site. It is a great site and not the kind of site that is frivolous in nature overall.

You have copied and pasted a lot of information on this site without contributing on an equal basis, concerning original thoughts that you might have.

I've just spent a lot of time writing original thoughts here in order to help you.

Would you be willing to do the same on this site?

The choice is yours...

Thanks!

Clough,

Try this for originality!

The image says it all.

The area you need is :- x

Look at x and call the top perimiter d and
the bottom perimiter e.

Now the area formula becomes:-

c times { 1/2 (d + e)

This should be accurate enough.

dmcg21 agrees: Excellent answer, very simple. I have further questions though

If you are not convinced , see dmcg21

No one complained about me helping dmcg21.

Clough,

Is this original enough for you et altri.

Using the same principles as before:-( see dmcg21)

{ .5 ( 3.9*1.5) } * { .5 (20.5*19)}

Calculate this and you will get your answer.

Why is this on the religion/christianity boards?

What was described by Rolcam was the formula for the Area inside a trapezoidal figure, which by definition is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. This may be ROLCAM's way of saying, that in Catholicism there is no original thought, like reducing the equations of area for a trapezoid the result will always be the same, regardless who makes the reduction. We don't reference Euclid every time such an equation is stated, nor do Catholics normally claim any originality in formulating their faith. You see, the originality of Catholicism exists only in Christ and the His Apostles.

Nevertheless, it's always proper to credit sources, especially when you cut and paste.

PS. Then again, maybe he just went off the deep end.

I'll vote for the "then again" sentence.

Hiya, the 2 parts are Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ. We are saved by His blood. For the sacrifice of old always required the blood of the lamb. And we are the "Body of Christ" once you accept his free gift of new life by inviting Jesus to become your personal Lord & Savior.
