if Catholics are not Christians, what are they then?

[TroglocratsRdumb]

god doesn't care what your religion is, but people sure do

 

[Rawley]

You may ask that those Protestants who say so.

I don't think I've ever heard a Protestant say that.

 

[nomadic5]

a very wealthy cult.....

The Vatican is

but everyday Catholics who outnumber the Vatican folks significantly...

not

not

you admit they are a cult,so why have them as your leaders?.....

Why in the world would you need to ask some 1% bigoted idiot who claims to be a Protestant if Catholics are Christians?

 

[Zebra]

Only that we Catholics have got slightly better seats.
And we may drink Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) from big Römer glasses.
The Protestants may drink Trollinger from smaller glasses, those Henkel glasses typical for Württemberg.
And we are all happy.

and what do you make of this?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

If you ever entered a Catholic church you would see dozens of depictions of Christ on the Cross. The Clergy all wear the Crucifix and Communion in a Catholic Mass is "the body of Christ" so why in the world would you say Catholics are not Christians?

.

The Mass is, from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, Scripture.

The post makes no sense but you can see behind the bigotry. The Catholic church has become the enemy of the left wing bigots because they won't cave in to the abortion issue.

The Catholics on EWTN, the Catholic TV network, are also lions against the ridiculousness of changing genders.

It's so good to see.

I think it's this coming Friday, Catholics are holding a day of Prayers of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, towards repairing the damage being done to our culture by the insanity.

Prayers of Reparation to The Sacred Heart of Jesus

These prayers of reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus can help us atone for all the coldness and indifference that have long afflicted His Sacred Heart.

As I recall from the nuns in catechism many years ago, Catholics are the only real Christians. The rest are all fakes.

I found that denominational organized churches ALL fall for that one. That's WHY I AVOIDED marrying up with any & all organized churches, religions & sects/cults. I rely on our Holy Ghost that Jesus said he left behind for us to guide me through life. I am not saying I am correct in this choice I made but it seems to be working out for me. Honestly, considering my childhood & early teens it's got to be a literal miracle that I even physically survived that era of my life. Looking back through time I figure someone had to be looking out for me & it certainly was not any mortal human being for sure.

In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine the traditions of men

I am familiar with the short comings(in my opinion) of that particular church. The Catholics that I was employed by were of the Latin division NOT the Roman Catholic church. There are strong points to the Catholic church such as their anti abortion stance, family values etc.. I found out that all(most of them anyway) that were denominational churches had pitfalls when compared to holy scriptures.

Not heard!
But I have read it again and again and again - written by fanatical fundamentalist US-Protestants.
Who claim that the Pope is the Anti-Christ, that all the Catholics go to hell because they pray to Mary, and that they know that they themselves are "saved" because they are "re-born".

What argument are you trying to make? It's okay to commit serious sins because others do too?

Is a shoplifter absolved because at least he's not a home invader?

The short list of problems I have with that organization are fundamental disagreements with Scripture and violations of the Ten Commandments.

It's not okay to bow down to statues. It's not okay to replace GODS SABBATH with Sunday. It's not okay to spread false doctrine . These are the works of the Antichrist

So:

some Protestants say: We are the only Christians
some Catholics say: We are the only Christians

Is that so?

The church of the Nazarene was the best I studied with(looong time ago) when it came to NOT criticizing other denominations. Elitism DOES flourish in the world of denominational churches, unfortunately(current human condition/human nature?). Maybe I'm the oddball in the lot but I see it as follows; we got something like 8 billion folks on this planet @ current. I would like to see them all end up in a secure & pleasant eternity. I know that's wishful thinking but that's where my mind is @ current. I am pro-human species when it comes to survival like just the way I am. I learned a long time ago not to play judge, jury & hangman. I look for the positive in human beings NOT the negative. That is WHY I studied with six+ denominational churches but never joined a denominational church so I could view a wide angle perspective of the 'whole' & not just the few. I do have my personal opinions but do respect Joe South's practicality in regards to the individual human being;

Zebra, I have to back you here for I to have heard(face to face) the same as you are saying in your post from Protestant church members. The Baptist(not southern Baptist church) were pretty aggressive against the Catholics in general.

As I said I am familiar with the short comings of BOTH divisions of the Catholic church. I was just pointing out the qualities of the Catholic church that I deem as positive. As far as judging them(Catholics in general) I am not in a position of authority to judge anyone as that is up to Maker & Maker alone(@ least the final judgement). I do have my opinions both good & bad about the Catholic church but was just pointing out a couple of the Catholics beliefs that I also believe in that I deem positive such as sanctity of life(anti abortion/anti murder). Yes, I am familiar with the original sabbath day of Saturday as well as the problem with bowing down to man made statues.

We need to get out all the prayer Americans can muster. We are NOT fighting against flesh & blood in this fight for we are fighting back against demons, principalities & the "spirits of the air"(literally inter-dimensional aliens). We don't want a human casualty list any bigger than possible, like even one human lost to the lake of fire is one too much. I am sticking like glue to our Ghost so my prayers are delivered to our Messiah & Father @ express speed.
