Ritajanice said: No, the Pope has political authority as a head of state, the smallest country in the world. The Pope has authority only on matters of faith and morals and he doesn't impose his teachings on anybody. He can only propose truths to those who are disposed to receive it. That's...

https://www.churchpop.com/avoid-converting-catholicism-steps/ summary: 1) Don’t Read Scott Hahn One of the first mistakes I made as a Protestant was to read Scott Hahn. 2) Don’t Read Church History 3) Don’t Read the Early Church Fathers 4) Don’t Meet Any Great Catholics 5) Don’t Start Living...

The Pope has no authority apart from Christ and no authority as a man alone. He teaches that without God we can do nothing, if you bother to look. You are quoting from a Catholic book. That is your mythical premise, and proven false time and time again. The first recorded use of the term...

But you are interested in bearing false witness, but you don't know any better. So does every Catholic. You're absolutely correct. The Pope has no power apart from the Church. In fact, he has less authority than Councils. If you won't be commenting further, I'll respect that and leave you alone.

A paste job from GotQuestions.org that is moderately Calvinistic. I asked them so its by their own admission they are moderately Calvinist, whatever that means. I know what plagiarism means too. If you are exempt from posting your sources, then so am I...

That means only true historic believers began in America after 1860, the rest are blasphemers, apostates and heretics. "Thank God for the Reformation" is a flaming zinger that promotes more division between Protestants and Catholics. Protestants are NOT daughters of the whore, a vicious lie in...

Don't apostates have to know what they are repudiating? Lucky for them, invincible ignorance gets them off the hook. A valid baptism uses the trinitarian formula in a liturgical sense. The CC accepts most non-Catholic baptisms as valid; the anti-Catholic doesn't understand why. Converts to the...

It's amazing. Anti-Catholics like covenantee claim authority of the Bible but reject the authority that gave it to us. IMO, for a "Christian" to reject the Council of Nicaea can't be a Christian. Too bad it's a banned topic.

I put covenantee on ignore. Problem solved.

No, but I am growing weary of refuting a perpetual liar. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/who-is-the-antichrist-identifying-him.58000/page-41#post-1836309

I tried to include you in a conversation, but it defaults saying you cannot be found.

No, you ignored the context I provided. No, you rejected the context I provided, that refutes your abuse of out-of-context snippets, and Isaiah 9:6 have nothing to do with the Pope. No Pope has ever claimed Isaiah's titles to himself, neither did Bellarmine attribute Isaiah 9:6 to the Pope. One...

That is a lie, as I repeatedly explained with context that you arrogantly deny. But you don't quote Bellarmine saying that, you simply assert it with no evidence. Perhaps we should do a poll and see how many agree you are a liar.

I never claimed a difference, you did, and then demand I prove it. You make no sense. You lost the debate with a false claim that you identify the first 4 centuries of Christianity with "0" evidence, and martyrs were blasphemers. I don't have "handlers", another childish insult...

Taking snippets out of context is unethical and dishonest. I already gave the context that you refuse to accept, so demanding I explain the difference just stupid. This statement makes no sense. Those executed under Valerian were faithful Catholics some 15 centuries before Bellarmine. Pagan...

"Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured...

The chief recognized forms of individualism are religious ethical, and political. Religious individualism describes the attitude of those persons who refuse to subscribe to definite creeds, or to submit to any external religious authority. Such are those who call themselves freethinkers, and...

Third proposition: “The Supreme Pontiff is simply and absolutely over the universal Church, and over a general Council, so that he recognizes no judicial authority on earth over himself.” This is almost de fide, [necessary to be believed as a dogma of the faith] and is proved first of all from...

It is difficult, it took me 2 days of searching, that you refused to do. 3): "All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope." -On the Authority of the Councils, book 2...
