Protestants falsely argue that Purgatory is a later corruption, but it was present early on and merely developed. Original Sin, however, was equally if not more so, subject to development. One cannot have it both ways. If Purgatory is unacceptable on grounds of its having undergone development...

Step number one in explaining indulgences is to know what they are. Step number two is to clarify what they are not. Here are the seven most common myths about indulgences: Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences. This charge is without foundation. Since indulgences...

Principle 6: God Blesses Dead Christians As a Reward to Living Christian From the beginning the Church recognized the validity of praying for the dead so that their transition into heaven (via purgatory) might be swift and smooth. This meant praying for the lessening or removal of temporal...

The hardest thing to do is shed prejudice and take an honest look the biblical evidence for doctrines that give Protestants fits. It seems to me the only thing that Protestants can see is the abuses of the doctrine, never examining the doctrines themselves. The bulk of Newman’s extraordinary...

First, that is totally irrelevant to the quote. If wedding vows fall out of the mouth of a lying/abusive con artist, who proves to be incapable of living marriage vows, THAT IS NOT A MARRIAGE.

If wedding vows fall out of the mouth of a lying/abusive con artist, who proves to be incapable of living marriage vows, is that a marriage?

The Retrouvaille Program is for Married Couples Facing Difficult Challenges in their Relationship A Marriage program that helps couples restore their marriage and rebuild a loving relationship. A Christian marriage program, Catholic in origin, where couples of all faiths or no faith background...

Luke 1:28 [RSV]: "And he came to her and said, 'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!'" [The RSVCE translates kecharitomene ("favored one" above) as "full of grace"] Catholics believe that this verse is an indication of the sinlessness of Mary - itself the kernel of the more developed...

Luke 2:49 He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand what he said to them. 51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her...

'mother of all living' is still scripture, regardless of who said it. It's as silly as saying, "the Pauline epistles come from Paul, not God." Adam was sinless at this time; what he says should mean something. One can skip over many bridges to Revelation 12:17. where you find a woman and a...

Whether or not any person in the Bible acknowledges their identity is not important. It is a stupid argument. How much of the Bible would be eliminated on the grounds that each person must explicitly state their identity? Stupid, stupid, stupid. In most editions of the Douay-Rheims Bible...

You can't possibly be that ignorant.

By the looks of your posts, you twist, misrepresent and distort anything that is Catholic. I think you are angry because you lost the OSAS debate. There is nothing "Christian" about your constant insults, digs, misrepresentations, and condescending tone. Attacking us, and the Church the way you...

You sound just like the Pope.

SDA: You are Ellen White and upon this Ellen White I will build my church in 1860, and the gates of hell shall prevail until then. I got a rule violation and you didn't. And I know why. I have never claimed to be an expert apologist. We do, however, have the freedom to defend and explain our...

BreadofLife consistently exposes lies, and lies have nothing to do with disagreement. Making things up without quotes amounts to lies. If you can't refute him, (by quoting him) then refrain from cheap shots.

You ignore the "outside sources" that gave us the Biblical codex. Denying everything that is not in Scripture is Bible worship, and a cheap excuse to make up your own. Denial is not "understanding history". Simeon of Jerusalem, son of Clopas, was a Jewish Christian leader and according to most...

Bottom line in this discussion: If one wants to simply bask in centuries of contra- and anti-Catholic polemics and bias, and repeat and memorize and chant those, parrot-like, one can (it’s a free country). But if one is interested in the latest consensus of biblical commentary, and in the...

Let me add to the list: Primacy of St. Peter Verified by Protestant Scholars We can keep stacking Protestant scholars to the moon, it won't make any difference to those defending a paradigm, but it might make a difference to those seeking the truth.
