The Church stays with what Jesus said and the practice of the Apostolic church regarding communion.

the church being what the crucifiers insinuate in their bible that has no evidence of the itinerants true beliefs from them to corroborate their false claims.

liberation theology, self determination the true 1st century events are no where found in the christian bible, their church - the reason for the crucifixion of the heavenly itinerant.

1 John 5:13 KJV - These things have I written unto you​

View attachment 1189104




These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe.

You should tell that to the lectors in my church who read scripture at every Mass, and all the Catholics who pray the Rosary, which is packed full of scripture.

the OP is an example of Catholic bashing

I can refute just about anything you write !

As a Catholic...I do not believe you go strait to hell. I never even heard that before.

Last week some religious gun nut from Cali tried to tell me Catholic worship saints.

He did not know I was a Catholic and I told him that is wrong.

He ended up going nuts on me. I mean I thought I was going to have to call the coppers and get a mental health check. I went over to his house to show where in the Bible it said to pray with saints. These are Jesus's words on the matter !

I suggest you read the Apostles Creed...written by the Harps in the second century.

The Apostles' Creed is a concise Catholic statement of core Christian beliefs, summarizing the faith of the early Church and focusing on the Trinity—God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit—along with key aspects of salvation and the Church itself. Though its exact origin is debated, it functions as a foundational profession of faith, originally used for baptismal instruction and now recited as a personal affirmation of belief and a summary of the unchanging Christian dogma.

well said!

Your conclusions about errors in the Catholic Church stem from faulty premises, and much twisting and tangling on your part--often to the point I haven't a clue of what you are talking about. In the above: You bring up a political leader, claiming he is yet to come. That political leader was in fact a Roman back in the time John wrote Revelation. So many things such as this is why you and I cannot have a good conversation. Hatred of the Catholic faith is blinding.

I agree, especially with the last sentence!

The Catholic Church doesnt have a great reputation for moral behavior. Priests molesting children, nuns getting pregnant and having private adoptions. All covered up by the Church

All covered up? Then why does the entire world know of it, and have for a very long time. We live in a fallen world (something you seem to refute). Something else that is not so much covered up, but ignored, the Saints, convents, monasteries and everyday Catholics who live amazing lives.

It took years and the cover up was well publicized. The issue was the Clergy covered it up. The Pope did as well. We dont live in a fallen world we live among evil people who cover up abusing children and portray themselves as moral.

The same cover-ups were equally prevalent in other faiths/denominations, schools, families, businesses--only in greater percentages. That's not to excuse Catholic clergy, just to point out it is a sin in a fallen world, that all were covering up--including law enforcement. Cover-ups are still prevalent in schools--not so much in the Catholic Church (I am sure much to your disappointment).

There was nothing to compare to the Catholic Church it went on fir decades because people like you make excuses and defend the sexual battery and abuse of children by gay priests. Youre excusing the church.

No, people like me were journalists at the time doing the research. What happened: Some of the offenders were business advertisers (advertising is how news agencies survived). It wasn't practical to the welfare of news agencies to reveal what was happening in businesses. Schools were funded by taxpayers, and if people started suing schools, taxpayers would have to foot the bill, and as most had children/knew children in schools, no sense upsetting the greater population, so those stories were "left of the floor" (as the saying went in news agencies). Catholic Churches were considered open game, bash Catholics, sue Catholic Churches so some had to close doors, sell property, etc., but don't bother anyone else.

My personal stance is that who, if not the Catholic Church, could/would shoulder what was happening in society at large? Another story, not often told is that the Catholic Church became the model for other agencies on how best to set up facilities/people to protect children. Catholic Churches led the way of reporting/broadcasting future cases.

Anyone can research all of this for themselves, but few do.
