You are either talking to the wrong Catholics, or they are not articulating the teaching correctly, or you are hearing with prejudiced ears. "...First, though: some preliminary observations. As usual, McCarthy (along with many other Calvinist anti-Catholics) is unwilling or unable to understand...

BAPTISM Some say it is an ordinance, some say it is a commandment. Some say it regenerates, some say it does not I think it would be much more accurate to observe that what all Protestants greatly have in common is a denial of the Catholic distinctives (Mary, papacy, communion of saints, an...

Of course we must pray to Jesus. Catholics pray to Jesus all the time. Some object that the Catholic position on intercessory prayer is the same as necromancy, that is, calling upon the spirits of the dead to find out the future or obtain other information. Necromancy is a grave sin that, far...

No, it doesn't say that. The canon simply says they were to work, not rest, on Saturday. Nowhere in that entire synod does it imply anyone was keeping the full Sabbath according to Jewish tradition. You are reading into it what isn't there. That was cleared up in canon 16. The Scriptures were...

You can't read. Whatever Christians were adhering to keeping a Saturday Sabbath, they were Judaizing and doing so illegally. It was the Judaizing that was the problem, not Saturday assemblies to hear the Gospel. Scriptures were read on Saturday, but there was no Mass. The Church had a problem...

People with doctorates in church history can't find any evidence of Sabbatarianism in the 2nd century, and neither can you. What was forbidden in the 4th century was adhering to Mosaic Laws, it doesn't prove Sabbath worship. You make lame assertions, but still have no proof. You twist and...

More significant, though less mentioned, is violating the context of belief. Christian understanding is a synthesis of many beliefs, and Biblical teachings are often interpreted through this background belief which has been synthesized. Such a synthesis may include other facts, not directly...

For evidence of Christian Sabbitarians in the 2nd century.

Yea, and on Pentecost 3000 were baptized in Jerusalem where there is no natural source or body of water large enough to immerse that many people. Did they rent baths from the Romans??? Don't forget the tubs they had in the Roman jails!!! see Acts 16:33 Acts 10:47-48 – Peter baptized in the house...

The CATHOLIC CHURCH is the final authority on matters of faith and morals for Catholics, NOT PROTESTANTS OR OTHER. "Having worked in the Catholic education system" does not qualify you as an informed critic. I agree with BofL. You use the prefix "Roman" in the derogatory sense, not in the sense...

How the Satanic Black Mass Proves the Truth of Catholicism There have been a number of stories in the news lately of small Satanic groups publicly performing so-called “Black Masses.” These rituals are based on the Catholic mass but are inverted toward Satan and often involve the desecration...

"Religion" was changed into a dirty word by TV preachers in the '60's and '70's in order to draw people out of main stream churches. This new definition continues to sweep across Protestantism like a plague. The term "religion" or "religious" is constantly used incorrectly on just about every...

Some anti-Catholics claim the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18. Dave Hunt, in his 1994 book, A Woman Rides the Beast, presents nine arguments to try to prove this. His claims are a useful summary of those commonly used by Fundamentalists, and an examination of them...

Luther's Protestant Bible came out 1520 and before his Bible the Catholic Bible had been translated into Spanish, Italian, Danish, French, Norwegian, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian and English, there was exactly 104 editions in Latin; 38 editions in German language, 25 editions in Italian language...

Yes, the Church has been teaching the common priesthood for 2000 years. You use those scriptures to justify your anti-authority mindset. A common priest does not have the same function as a ministerial priest. You just deny or ignore every supporting scripture to this fact. "Several...

1 Cor. 16:2 – Paul instructs the Corinthians to make contributions to the churches “on the first day of the week,” which is Sunday. This is because the primary day of Christian worship is Sunday. You say "the first day of the week follows Saturday (Sunday)" and deny it at the same time. You...

Here are some Catholic abominations for you, mjr: mjrhealth, which of these would you burn down first???

This is for the benefit of the readers, since Dave just denies every verse presented. Full Question The New Testament mentions three categories of Church leaders: bishops, presbyters, and deacons. So how can the Catholic Church justify its office of "priest"? The New Testament writers seem to...

You are an unconscious victim of dichotomous thinking. The covenant the Israelites broke was at the Golden Calf incident. That's why God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. God made several "covenants", the first was in Genesis 3. Did the 10 Commandments "replace" the covenant the Israelites broke...
