Myth 6: A person can buy indulgences. The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, “in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions” (Catholic Encyclopedia). The...

No, it isn't. It depends entirely on sincere repentance. The reality is your misunderstanding of the authority to bind and loose. Nonsense. The Gospel has nothing to do with rules of conduct. You started this with a non-sequitur. You STILL refuse to explain your version of the true Gospel. You...

Nowhere in this document is the outright selling of indulgences. A contribution is not a sale. I read it several times. You perpetuate 7 myths I posted that you ignored. An archbishop sent this letter to Tetzel to smarten him up. Provide the paragraph where there is an outright selling of...

Hate speech. We don't deny anything but your distorted caricatures. While Pope Leo X certainly had his many faults, "SELLING of indulgences" was NOT one of them. He will never be canonized, but he fulfilled his duties as an administrator. What the Pope authorized was the Preaching of an...

Purgatory and indulgences are red herrings to Taylors indefensible claim of a false gospel, which he has not yet explained what he thinks is the true gospel. It's a standard anti-Catholic derailment tactic.

You have it backwards. The memorial IS the sacrifice. I explained what "remembrance" means backed with numerous scriptures, that you reject with no qualification. Just because we have differences in our understanding of the Eucharist is no excuse for the bigotted insult of accusing us of a false...

Luke 22:19; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 – the translation of Jesus’ words of consecration is “touto poieite tan eman anamnasin.” Jesus literally said “offer this as my memorial sacrifice.” The word “poiein” (do) refers to offering a sacrifice (see, e.g., Exodus 29:38-39, where God uses the same word –...

We teach that the sacrifice in the Upper Room, where Jesus consecrated Bread and Wine, is one and the same sacrifice as the Crucifixion. So does the Bible. THE EUCHARIST - Scripture Catholic I wrote in page 5: "...since they refused to grapple with the root issue of what Christianity is, and why...

March, 2017 VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has called on the faithful to consult the Bible with the same frequency as they might consult their cellphones for messages. Francis urged a packed St. Peter’s Square following his weekly Angelus blessing Sunday to give the Bible the same place in daily...

We both can come up with bible verses that define the true Gospel, but I would like your personal definition. Then I will show you where your definition is proclaimed, in various forms, at every Catholic Mass. Please knock off the red-neck theology, it's unbecoming of a good Christian such as...

Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences. Since indulgences remit only temporal penalties, they cannot remit the eternal penalty of hell. Once a person is in hell, no amount of indulgences will ever change that fact. The only way to avoid hell is by appealing to God’s...

Would you consider buying a device that featured "Scripture Alone" that helped you become the preacher you've always dreamed of? How much are you willing to pay, and what might be the market value? The full Scriptural Rosary recites 200 key Bible verses. That is what we are supposed to think...

Describe what you think indulgences are and I will show you a straw man fallacy.

The CC is not just an organization, we are a family. If I attacked your family, you would take it personally. Your web site admits discord and division within the Methodist church, so on that basis alone, how can you hold anyone to your particular beliefs? Worse, your critiques of the Catholic...

Is Catholicism Christian? My Debate With James White (Dave Armstrong vs. James White from 1995) This was the most in-depth writing I have ever done concerning the fundamental question of the Christian status of Catholicism. I’ve never been able to get an anti-Catholic to fully deal with the...

Please enlighten us as to your private interpretation of the above verses.

There is no such thing as dying with spiritual flaws if you have "faith alone". Just how snow covered poop piles can get into heaven is beyond me.

"purgatory where you expiate your own sin" is a straw man fallacy. Make stuff up and then knock it down. It's one thing not to understand something, but refusing to understand is something else. An excellent post. Unfortunately, it falls on deaf ears. Anti-Catholics don't care what their own...
