THE COMMANDMENTS.
The Ninth Commandment:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.
1. By this commandment we are forbidden to harbour any carnal thoughts or desires. Says Our Lord: « You have heard that it was said to them of old: « Thou shalt not commit adultery! But I say to you that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. » (Matt. V, 27-28.)
2. The difference between this and the Sixth Commandment is this, that whereas the latter forbids all outward manifestations of impurity, including immodest language, the ninth commandment forbids even the mere desire or thought of such.
3. It is desire when one is ready to satisfy it if the opportunity offered; and it is thought when, without any idea of translating it into action, the mind gloats over the idea itself.
4. The desire alone, though unsatisfied, is sinful, for we have no right to desire what it is not permitted us to do.
5. And it is sinful to harbour impure thoughts, even if the desire to commit the act itself be altogether absent.
6. It is sinful because we offend God by dwelling with pleasure on things which are intensely abhorrent to Him and harmful to us.
7. There is however no sin if the moment such thoughts present themselves we, true to our duty, thrust them away from us; and not only is there no sin, but in offering such stout resistance, we even gain for ourselves special merit. Remembering this, we ought never to lose courage, but fight bravely against all temptation.
8. To overcome temptation to impurity we must (1) remember that God's eyes are always upon us and that we are one day to be judged by Him, (2) lift up our hearts to Him in a short prayer, (3) offer resistance to the temptation from the moment it presents itself, and (4) invoke the aid of the Blessed Virgin.
Explanation of the Plate.
9. The large picture illustrates the Gospel story of Christ and the woman, who, giving way to her evil desires, became an adulteress. (John VIII, 3-11.)
« And the Scribes and Pharisees bring unto Him a woman taken in adultery, and they set her in the midst and said to Him: « Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. Now Moses in the Law commanded us to stone such a one, but what sayest Thou? » And this they said tempting Him that they might accuse Him. But Jesus bowing Himself down, wrote with His finger on the ground. When therefore they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself and said to them: « He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. » And again stooping down, He wrote on the ground. But they, hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, and Jesus alone remained and the woman standing in the midst. »
« Then Jesus lifting up Himself, said to her: « Woman, where are they that accuse thee? Hath no man condemned thee? » Who said: « No man, Lord. » And Jesus said: «Neither will I condemn thee. Go and now sin no more. »
10. In the small picture on the right we see King David, and, standing before him, the prophet Nathan, who is reproaching him for his adultery with Bethsabee and the murder of her husband Uriah.
11. The small picture on the left illustrates the parable used by Nathan in order to bring home to David the enormity of his sin. « There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen, but the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children eating of his bread and drinking of his cup and sleeping in his bosom, and it was unto him as a daughter. And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, and to make feast for that stranger, but took the poor man's ewe and dressed it for the man that was come to him ».
And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: « As the Lord liveth, that man that hath done this is a child of death. He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing and had no pity! »
And Nathan said to David: « Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul, and gave thee thy master's house, and gave thee the house of Israel and Judah, and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee. Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do evil in my sight. Thou hast killed Urias the Hittite with the sword and hast taken his wife to be thy wife. Behold I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house. » (II Kings XII.)
The king was overwhelmed with grief and from the bottom of his heart, repentance, escaped this saving cry of penitence which God never despises: « I have sinned against the Lord. »

"I am not complaining about other posts because I signed up TODAY."

"I am not complaining about other posts because I signed up TODAY."
...that proves nothing about how long you have been visiting GTV CatholicDoors . Your complaints show a pre-existing familiarity with Claudius Cartapus' posts.
That is possible only if a.) you have been reading them for some time now
Or b.) you joined TODAY, read one or two posts, became so bored and annoyed you accessed his profile to read even more posts because the first few bored and annoyed you thatmuch.
b.) isn't very likely, chum. ;-)
"Please do your homework before making a comment."
As you can see, I just did, including my logic homework. :D
"It is the ongoing repetition of the same posting."
...and you're still wrong. A post covering "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife" is demonstrably different from a post covering "Thou shalt not steal".
"Read my comment before you respond to make sure your answer reflects my comment, NOTHING ELSE."
What a presumptuous notion of discourse!
There is no obligation for my reply to be bound exclusively to the points you raised and 'nothing else'. Dialogue with normal people presupposes an exchange of ideas. Not one person setting the topics to be discussed by all parties.
This isn't a meeting and you're not the boss, got it?
Since you're supposedly a "new member" I helpfully provided you the contextual background of posts and comments made on GTV which you lack. Further, it's equally presumptuous for someone to start demanding policy changes to a site they joined just over eleven hours ago.
"I guess nobody is perfect."
You got that right. You should work on that.

It is obvious for a supposedly "new" member you have in less than a few hours already developed a number of shockingly wrong-headed views about the nature of Gloria.tv.

It is obvious for a supposedly "new" member you have in less than a few hours already developed a number of shockingly wrong-headed views about the nature of Gloria.tv.
First, there is no requirement for posts to be "interesting news" or even news at all. The official cartoonist for GTV does not post any news. They post satirical political cartoons lampooning many of the corrupt clergy including the Pope. Therefore your claim for what GTV provides, or should provide, is categorically disproven by the posts of an official GTV source.
Second, the concept of "intresting" is entirely subjective. What you may or may not find interesting is not an absolute. That you presume otherwise betrays the very sort of self-centeredness you wrongly ascribe to me.
Incidentally, I find Claudius Cartapus' posts interesting. Therefore they definitely fit your definition for a valid post (i.e. an interesting article) even if his posts do not necessarily meet your standards of "interesting".
Your standards are neither objective, nor accurate, nor official, nor reflective of GTV. What they in fact are, is a self-centered presumption on your part and an extension of your earlier presumption to dictate what my replies to you should cover.
"You interrupt their interest because of your selfish and personal interest in ebooks that anyone can access all over the internet."
Wrong for several reasons. My appreciation of Claudius Cartapus' posts neither interrupt nor affect anyone's use of GTV. Claudius Cartapus posts this content for everyone's benefit, not solely mine. So your claim is false.
In fact, I'm one of the staunchest defenders of GTV's posts from the rampant topic-shifting and post-hijacking attempts from two members.
Given your obvious concern for what doesn't belong on GTV, particularly that which interrupts this media portal, I fully expect you to attack such under-handed propaganda attempts with the same stridency you're displaying here.
Since you have no hesitation diving right in with a vengeance mere hours after your arrival, you should apply your standards evenly or not at all.
Otherwise, your silence will brand you a shameless and obvious hypocrite.
I will remind you of such hypocrisy and double standard every time you start bleating either about Claudius Cartapus' posts or anything else from now on. You can be certain of that. ;-)
My support for someone else's generosity contradicts your accusation of being "selfish". Selfish people despise any form of generosity that does not directly benefit themselves.
Also, Claudius Cartapus isn't interrupting anyone's interest, any more than I am. Those who are NOT interested in his posts just scroll right past them as they do with every other post that does not catch their particular fancy . Given Claudius Cartapus' generosity he certainly isn't selfish, either.
"Is my message clear now as to why I believe people like you should NOT be allowed to post in quality websites like gloria.tv?"
Absolutely. You've made the basis of your belief abundantly clear: you are an asinine, opinionated idiot without the brains God gave most snails. They, to their credit, might be stupid creatures, but they at least have the good sense to stay silent. They're also tasty, particularly à la Bourguignonne.
So yes, your failings were clear from your first post, the following ones have only underscored the extent of your idiocy while highlighting your neurotic fixation on this one user and his posts in the loudest and most unsavoury way possible..
Unfortunately for us both, regardless of your beliefs, GTV still maintains (for the time being) a broad spectrum of people who post and comment whatever and wherever they please.
Racists and anti-Semites use GTV to post their propaganda. Not content with fouling a quality website with such disagreeable matter, those same racists and anti-Semites routinely hijack other people's posts to steal the audience of reputable posts so as to further spread their own noxious propaganda.
"You degrade their service to the point of being just a dumping ground for anything and everything that only interest you."
On the contrary. I have been advocating both posting standards and active site moderation for quite some time now. You're a new member so this accusation is simply your ignorance exposing its scale through the medium of your own obnoxious braying.
To continue a point I brought up in my first reply to you (strangely vanished along with your own), GTV is already a dumping ground for content that is entirely unacceptable on nearly every media portal in the Western world, regardless of religious denomination.
In a word, people post things here that are infinitely worse, infinitely far more disagreeable than anything from Claudius Cartapus.
Strangely you've remained silent about that content. No doubt because you're a new member. ;-)
By contrast, Claudius Cartapus is posting traditionally-focused Catholic content on a traditionally-focused Catholic media portal. He confines such wholesome and edifying content to his own posts, not the posts of others. These facts are irrefutable.
Consequently, Claudius Cartapus' posts are entirely relevant to the central focus of Gloria.tv. and you have presented no valid objection to their further inclusion on this media portal.
...excepting your own utterly arbitrary. ludicrous and, dare I say, self-centered, metrics. ;-)
"Wake up and think of others beside you."
There's some irony in this advice from you. Try following it yourself for a change.
Since we're swapping advice, I recommend you take a quality, liquid-based laxative. It will eliminate what's causing your headache and leave you, we can hope, a bit more... open-minded.

Protip: since you came back with more butthurt and fail, technically you're the one "butting in" today. GTV's comments are open to everyone and, as you'll discover as a new member, comments are routinely made about other comments. Kinda like what you're doing, as a matter of fact.
"They are the most holy of holies, the perfect human, the immaculate postings, in their eyes only."
...said the new member who's already elevated himself to deciding what does or doesn't belong on GTV.
Anythng else? Yes, I'm inviting you to reply and I won't consider it "butting in" the way you might. :P

Thank you for your posts on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Especially the beautiful accompanying images. I have downloaded the entirety of the Catechism, however it is always good to see a daily reminder. What a world of difference the state of the Universal Church would be in if all such self identified catholics properly understood and followed the teaching she has set forth for us! Surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia!
