The Roman Catholic Church through history approached her faith life with the clarification of language. That is, she translated the essentials of revealed faith into the vocabulary of living language.

To the revealed Word that there is "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" the Church labeled the belief "Trinity."
To the revealed Word that the "Son of God became man" the Church labeled the belief "Incarnation."
To the revealed Word that the "blood of Christ spilled on Calvary saved us" the Church labeled the belief "Redemption."
To the revealed Word that "my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink" the Church labeled the belief "Transubstantiation."
Transubstantiation reflects Roman Catholic faith in the literalness of the words of the Bible.

Jesus (omnipotent God) said: "This is my body; this is my blood." And again Jesus said: "I am the bread of life;" "My flesh is true food; my blood is true drink;" "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood ...;" etc.

Roman Catholics take Jesus at His word: the bread is his body; the wine is his blood.

From the Apostles at the Last Supper until today, the bread and wine of Eucharist looks and feels and tastes like bread and wine in the eating and drinking.

Similar to all of God's Word, faith is essential. Faith in what? In the words of Jesus even though the bread does not look, feel, taste like flesh; even though the wine does not look, feel, taste like blood.

Medieval philosophers and theologians sought simply to label this simple biblical faith: Jesus said that bread is his body and wine is his blood even though it did not appear to change into visible flesh and blood.

Transubstantiation means the substance part of the bread and wine elements changes; but the accidental parts--sight, taste, smell, touch--do not. Catholics believe that since Jesus said it and He is God, he can do it. They believe! "Transubstantiation" merely labels it.

In everyday life, it is not at all uncommon to believe in things man cannot perceive by the senses: wind, electricity, love, peace, etc. All the more when Jesus says it.

I mean extremely long tours of duty, extremely short tours at home, extremely harzardous and dangerous work policing a civil war, cutting their Va benefits, sending them into battle without proper training armor and supplies, keeping them fighting perpetually (to make the coward troop haters feel safe back home whilebeing chicken hawks), willing to lie, spin, cheat, smear, even plan on leaving the soldiers in the battle field to smear war opponents and make them look bad.....with no supplies or bulltets if the congress defunds the war (instead of bringing them home safely as any sane person would). The way these bozos support our troops, if they ever say they support you...run as far away as you can.

“I think Democrats understand that when we can join forces and work together, it’s very powerful,” said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn Political Action. “And then when we can’t, it’s not fun.”

My husband left us ( 2 kids) and ran up $45k on my credit card.I am primary on the card and he was an authorized user. Collectors are calling me and offered to settle the debt for $15k. I am unemployed and cannot afford to pay any of it. The house we live in is in my husbands name and so is the car we drive. He is paying those bills. What will happen if I do not pay the credit card bill?

I had an accountant file my returns in 2003, I was audited in 2005, by Federal. I took care of that audit, with my accountant. I remember at the time telling my accountant to make adjustments to that state return and sent him something. Well, the state return was never filed, now I owe 2500, at least 800 is intersting and penalties. I keep calling my accountant and he keeps saying he will call me back and doesn't take any action. I called the state myself, they just want to get paid.
Is there anyway to negotiate the fees and interest since I didn't know about the bill till 2 weeks ago. (2 years after the audit).

The state is CT.

The Federal Return was redone and paid. The accountant nevr filed the State portion.

Help. Any idieas? This was a private CPA firm.

I was charged with civil contempt and the judge stated I could have an attorney appointed to me. I went to the public defender and without ever asking me about the charges, stated there is a conflict of interest, they cant represent me and cant tell me what the conflict is.

Brief recap of my situation:
I live in Indiana. My neighbor's kid did $2,000 worth of damage to my car (major paint damage). No witnesses, but strong circumstantial evidence he did it.

I filed a police report and the stepfather admitted his kid did it in the report. I decided to let him off with making payments towards my deductible + my expenses (rental car, etc).

He's paid me $200 so far. Last night, when he was due to pay me more, he put a note on my door saying that he wouldn't pay more because he supposedly talked to a lawyer who told him not to pay if there was no proof that the kid did it.

In addition to on the police report, he has told me on two separate occasions that he had "no doubt" that the kid was responsible for at least the most severe (i.e costly) damage.

So, if I do file, will the fact that he admitted fault on the police report make my chances of winning very good?

I have an old record player that is varying in speed. I cannot get the platten off to see what is the problem inside and the two screws that are on the bottom do nothing to allow me to get into the unit. The platten must come off some way but I don't want to force it. Once in I think I can find and fix the problem.

I bought a lay-z-spa hot tub on ebay. The heater has packed up within 3 days of having it. It is not covered by the warranty as I do not hav a retailers purchase receipt. Is the ebayer responsible as It has broken straight away? This was a brand new item. I have emailed the seller but had no response. This was alot of money and now I am left with a hot tub that doesn't work after less than a week....any advise or experience would be great??
