Just about every spot on an icon has biblical connotations. They may look like effeminate scare crows to us because the painter has a different world view in a different time and place than we are accustomed to. I am not an expert in iconography but I know that there is much prayer and fasting...

Objectors: produce a verse that forbids Scripture in art form before posting. Thank you. WHY ICONOGRAPHS LOOK SO WIERD Iconography, as a branch of art history, studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images: the subjects depicted, the particular...

Note who BoL is addressing. A made-in-America mind controlling cult that spends more resources on bashing Catholicism than on acts of mercy. They are also anti-Protestant. The SDA are worst trolls in this board. I have them on ignore because my replies would be against the rules. It's not...

how much can fit on this page?

Your writhing. Those are not doctrines and practices. They are standard meaningless rants invented by hateful liars. The truth of the OP must really frighten you. That's why all of your posts have jumped way off topic. BTW, the SDA promotes division, separation and wall building that inflicts...

Nonsensical conclusions based on biblical contortions. No. Unlike you, Catholics don't hide from the truth of history. We know there have been bad popes. Maybe 10 in all. But they didn't teach anything. Again and again, the "Bible-hate cults" make assertions with no evidence, no means of...

Good searching. I am hoping to generate discussion on the difference between true and false ecumenism. There are those who build bridges and those who build walls. Enoch is a good example of those who think that God favor's further separation and division from the historic Church. One cannot...

Does that suggest it is automatically suspect?

How about you write down your demands that the CC needs for your opinion of "reform", and we can send it to the Pope. By "reform", you want the CC to adopt the very things that has fragmented Protestantism. You are arguing the same boring rhetoric that has been refuted 10000 times in the last...

Nevertheless, besides the doctrinal differences needing to be resolved, Christians cannot underestimate the burden of long-standing misgivings inherited from the past, and of mutual misunderstandings and prejudices. Complacency, indifference and insufficient knowledge of one another often make...

You only live twice. Once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face. Ian Fleming You assert this misnomer repeatedly because you know it aggravates Catholics. No, I am insulted by your stubborn denials that have been explained to you 100 times. "Baptist Church" was launched...

There are no Secret Societies in the Catholic Church. Joining Freemasonry is automatic excommunication. The Knights of Columbus is a men's charity organization. There are no secret oaths. Parliamentary procedure is followed. Finances are monitored under the Charitable Organization Act. There...

Great post. Do you have a link? I'd like to read more. I don't care if our separated brethren consider the 7 Deuterocanonical books as non-canonical, but to deny them as part of Jewish history is like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

If that's true, then Jesus didn't change Simon bar Jonah's name, and Cephas wasn't Peter's name throughout the New Testament. His real name was ROCKHEAD. It's all a Jesuit conspiracy. Changing the meaning of "fallible" and "infallible" to force fit it into your agenda is dishonest. OR you...

Please provide a biblical codex before the 14th century containing 66 books. "Apocrypha" is a term encompassing both inspired books and uninspired books, and should not be used to replace "Deuterocanonical books that were eroded from the Bible. Deuterocanonical books were not part of the Hebrew...

Charles Chiniquy? That explains a lot. In 1885, a former Catholic priest, Charles Chiniquy, wrote a book titled Fifty Years in the Church of Rome in which he made many scandalous allegations against the Catholic Church, including the accusation that the assassination of President Abraham...

Minister to someone worse than yourself.....because you qualify.

Matt. 16:13 – also, from a geographical perspective, Jesus renames Simon to rock in Caesarea Philippi near a massive rock formation on which Herod built a temple to Caesar. Jesus chose this setting to further emphasize that Peter was indeed the rock on which the Church would be built. Matt...

Daniel 2:44 – Daniel prophesies an earthly kingdom that will never be destroyed. Either this is a false prophecy, or the earthly kingdom requires succession. Jeremiah 33:17 – Jeremiah prophesies that David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the earthly House of Israel. Either this is...
