Zone1 What do you think of the Pope allowing people to bow to him and kiss his ring?

[White 6]

The point is that the "Vicar of Christ" does not follow Christ's teachings nor his example.

If that is your belief, then I suggest you abandon plans to convert to Catholicism. I am sure you support, people's rights to choose and follow their religious freedom, and am certain you would not attack anyone in a Zone 1 Religion thread for following theirs.

It's the Religion Forum, everything is not about Trump. Geez

When people have TDS like otto105 just missing and peeing on the toilet seat must have been Trump's fault....

OP Asked in Thread Title, so I gave my opinion. I will let you Catholics, debate it.

I ain't Catholic. I offer my opinion just like you do. The difference is, I will challenge those I believe teaching biblical error

Are you saying the religious forum can't express their opinions? Expressing a different opinions n than yours is an ATTACK???!!!
You ain't a fan of the First Amendment are you
Kinda surprised, kinda not -- with you

The Pope is supposed to be the "Vicar of Christ" on Earth. Does it appear that the Pope is following the example of Christ?

Matthew 23:9-12
9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.View attachment 1159073

Black letter idolatry.

But to each his own.

Of all the Christian religions, I've always thought Catholicism was the most bizarre. It appears to be a religious mega corporation with a God-like figure at the helm.

It was patterned after the Roman Empire

Nope

I just suddenly realized that watching a religious debate is like when I used to watch red and black ants battle on my grandparent's sidewalk and steps.

Except (those poor ants,) those battles were usually started by me dumping a bunch of one onto the nest of the others.

I was a kid, what can I say?

Have you not watched a TACO cabinet meeting where they all kiss his ring.

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

I am sure you support, people's rights to choose and follow their religious freedom...

A point NOT in dispute.

The Pope is only God's SERVANT; he is not a god of any sort.

Frankly the Catholic Church is full of idolatry. Here is one great example, above.

 

[ding]

True, but this is a DEBATE forum. So we DEBATE IDEAS

More like you seek conflict because there is no life in you and you are not at peace.

With beliefs like that, I’m glad you aren’t a part of the body of Christ.

Wasn't Peter your first Pope? But even HE did not allow people to bow to him.

Huh

The apostles NEVER accepted worship. And yes they bow down to their popes as gods.
.
And in their confessions they ask FORGIVENESS from their clergy.

Totally unbiblical
