Wow, a can of worms was opened up here. Some refuse to open their eyes as to what is happening in Israel. Now eyes are
on Rome. Rome is nothing. Evil eyes are fixed on the Pope, as if he is the Antichrist, lol. He points people to Christ, believes in Christ, sacrificed his whole life for Christ and His flock. Sure their are flaws.
Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses that criticized many of their practices and rituals, but he WAS NOT CONDEMNING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, JUST REFUTING CERTAIN THINGS, exposing errors for the purpose of reform. Do not forget that they carried the gospel for a thousand years before the Protestant Reformation. Do not discount the missions, orphanages, hospitals and charities that they have spread along with the gospel and still do. Is that not worth something? Evidently God thinks so, other wise he wouldn't have waited a thousand years to send someone.
Has any person here who hates Catholics ever spoken to a priest, a nun and asked them about their lives, their faith and love for one another? They become celibate, a sacrifice I would not be willing to do. Would you have as a teen? "Yep, women are beautiful, but Mom, Dad, I'm going to deprive myself for life, go to seminary, become a priest and dedicate my life to God and serve His flock."
What do you do? What have you sacrificed?
Oh, a couple hours a day condemning Catholics and Jews online. Congratulations ... Rewards in heaven are being stored up.
