When we talk about Tradition, we are talking about the same Tradition that St. Paul insisted that we hold to in 2 Thes 2:15. Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the TRADITIONS that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. There is absolutely nothing in...

Jude Thaddeus, There you go, confusing them with historical facts and clear logic again. :D

The closer we get to Christ, Who is the light of the world, the more clearly we see truth. Conversely, the further we get from Christ, the less clearly we see truth. The Catholic Church has never changed a doctrine handed to her by Christ. ALL of the Protestant Reformers were Catholic before...

So, the Church founded by Jesus Christ, of which He promised that the gates of hell would never prevail against (Matt. 16:18), in your opinion. failed. And the gates of hell did prevail over His Church. That would make Jesus a liar, would it not? And that would mean we're all wasting our...

Truther, you're missing the forest for the trees. The Early Church Fathers WERE Catholic, as were ALL Christians in the first centuries. There were NO OTHER Christian churches then. NONE. ZERO. NILL. The Orthodox splintered off in 1054 A.D. Here's a video explaining what happened then...

Here's some disturbing news for you (at least from your perspective). It was the Catholic Church (usually monks) who copied the Scriptures throughout the years until the printing press was invented. Many errors in copying were made, and it was the Catholic Church who decided which was correct...

Oh, the evidence is there, regardless of whether you're able to understand it or not. I don't think Jesus will hold you accountable for that which you weren't capable of understanding. Don't feel bad.

Yes, they were all Catholic. And, no, the Catholic Church wasn't founded in 325 A.D. It was in existence from the beginning. The Catholic Church is the original Church founded by Christ. St. Ignatius of Antioch, the bishop of Antioch ordained by St. Peter and a student of St. John (the...

Just because the bible references Jesus’ “brothers” and “sisters” (Matthew 13:54-56 and Mark 6:3) doesn’t mean these individuals are Jesus’ blood brothers and sisters (coming from the same womb). If the usage of the word “brother” (Greek–adelphos) always meant a literal brother, then we would...

No, you only support what YOU personally interpret what the Bible says, in opposition to the Bible. Big difference! See 2 Peter 1: Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but...

Well, my experience with you is that you are so indoctrinated to your personal interpretation of Sola Scriptura, that you can't see the forest for the trees. Many, far more educated than you or I, have come into the Catholic Church from outside the Church (Protestant, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist...

My recommendation to you is to learn what the Catholic Church actually teaches before trying to bash it. How are you different than the Pharisees who "knew" God's teaching, yet persecuted Jesus Christ? They were SO certain that they were right. Jesus identifies as one with His Church, which...

I'm not mocking you, marks. I'm giving you an analogy to explain a point.

Hey, Redfan! Happy Sunday! You might enjoy the following video that explains the Immaculate Conception and its Biblical roots: (A little less than 30 minutes.)

Hopefully, you have a little more imagination than that. Mary didn't "fly." It only says "assumed." I picture her being transported like the Star Ship Enterprise, with her body kind of vaporizing on earth and reconstituting in heaven. And, since you weren't there, you cannot have the...

Mary needed a Savior. Jesus saved her...BEFORE she sinned. Here's how it was explained in ancient times. Suppose a man was walking along a forest path and fell into a pit of quicksand (he sinned). He yelled for help, asking for someone to save him. A handsome prince on a white horse (think...

The Pope repeated what I just explained to you. Mary didn't "fly" to heaven. She was "assumed" into heaven. And there is NO doctrine of the Catholic Church that says whether she did so before or after she died, not that it matters one way or the other. Here's what Jesus never said:

The Catholic Church does not teach that Mary flew to heaven and never died. Mary was assumed into heaven, and the Church is silent as to whether this happened before she died, at the moment she died, or after she died. If you're going to speak about Catholic teaching, try to do so from...

So, you think the way it works is that every individual has to reinvent theology based on his/her personal interpretation of Scripture at any given time, regardless of education in Scripture, theology, philosophy, history, etc. Right? And how has that worked for you? Tens of thousands of...
