He is a "theologian" in the literal sense -- any one who expounds on a theology is a theologian (and taking a class which Scott Hahn taught means one studied under Hahn. It doesn't make you a "padawan"). Ron has spent the last decade polishing his theologian act. To me he is as dangerous to the Catholic faith as many of the liberals are. His pedagogy is not Roman Catholic (according to him, women should not sit with men in church, should never wear pants, and have no right to teach a man -- <A HREF="http://www.catholicplanet.com/women/roles.htm" REL="nofollow">God Given Roles for Men and Women</A> -- ....which puts Sts. Hilary, Catherine of Sienna, Theresa of Avila and Therese of Lisieux, all Doctors of the Church, where exactly?). His "free" books are no longer free..they were only free until such time as someone would actually BUY them. He does not tolerate dissent; he "kicks out" members for disagreeing with him. He "predicted" the next pope; I predicted that Cardinal Ratzinger would be the next pope as well...that wasn't exactly shocking. Karol Wojtyla's election... now that was surprising! If he had predicted THAT, I might have given him more consideration.<BR/><BR/>I've tried to be polite and calm about my responses about Ron Conte, but I cannot anymore. I feel that I must stand up and say "NO MORE!" He is NOT a prophet. He is merely a man who has gotten wrapped up in his own sense of importance, and uses his pseudo-theologian title to spread misconceptions about what Catholicism truly is. As in Matthew 4:5, even Satan used scripture to his own devices, quoting Psalm 91 in order to tempt Christ. When theologians such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas struggled for years with concepts, I fail to see how Ron Conte suddenly has all the answers, answers beyond what even the Church itself gives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-24647897578175544462009-04-06T23:17:00.000-04:002009-04-06T23:17:00.000-04:00Be careful not to use the name "Ron Conte" interch...Be careful not to use the name "Ron Conte" interchangably with "believers in Medjugorje", because they're definitely not one and the same. Ron belonged to a forum dedicated to Medjugorje and he left in a huff because few of the Medjugo supporters there accepted his predictions and future timeline as gospel. In fact, most of them scoffed because Ron claims to know the 10 Secrets alleged given by the Virgin Mary to the Medjugorje seers even though they haven't shared them with anyone. They're all there in Revelation, so what's the big secret? Anyway, irritated that his BIG REVEAL of the secrets didn't go over very well with the Medjugorje supports, before he left that forum, in an immature move, he demanded all links to his website, CatholicPlant, be removed for the forum. So, keep in mind, what Ron Conte believes isn't synomous with the Medjugorje movement (for lack of a better word).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-63061141725698998372008-08-08T22:58:00.000-04:002008-08-08T22:58:00.000-04:00Qhote: "Mr. Conte also speculates that the Virgin ...Qhote: "Mr. Conte also speculates that the Virgin Mary was not simply Assumed into heaven, but actually died and then was Resurrected and was then taken into heaven alive,..end of quote.<BR/><BR/>That is more or less what I believe. Our lady being the first Christian was the first to share in the Resurection to which we are all called.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that Pius XII was purposely short on details when he defined the assumption e.g. did Mary die or just go into a seep sleep? We are free to speculate but most theologians believe she likely died.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352598115559204014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-67727408789424719422008-08-04T04:24:00.000-04:002008-08-04T04:24:00.000-04:00April 10, 2009 at least Conte didn't suggest that ...April 10, 2009 at least Conte didn't suggest that the NJ Devils will take the Stanley Cup?
