Our Constitution protects you from being "forced" to worship. You always have a choice. The push is from the left trying to stop us from worshiping and practicing our faith in public. You can't have it both ways. Either we have freedom OF religion, which includes the right to worship and...

Good post. They have been thoroughly and effectively indoctrinated in our eduational system. I think society and the world will suffer greatly in the next 10 years or so. It is inevitable for many reasons, including demographics, but more importantly for the abandonment of morality. Morality...

With regard to history, I'm assuming you are referring to the cross, yes? Origins, maybe not. Perhaps cavemen made them, too. But pagans using them, history is clear that many did. So, does that mean we should never use a symbol used by pagans, even though we give it an entirely different...

So, I take it you either didn't read or you didn't understand the article from the link I posted (Is Purgatory in the Bible?). You're going to go with polemic lies that you were told instead. I just want to understand where you're coming from. Also, crosses were used in ancient religions long...

This topic is very interesting, because it shows that those engaged in it 1) don't know what Purgatory is or where it's found in the Bible and 2) personally interpret Scripture, against the warning of St. Peter in 2 Peter 1:20-21 and 3) have an unwarranted hatred for the Church founded by...

Well, I would separate the two issues: Wanting to remain Protestant and aligning themselves with the whole truth of Christ. One can, indeed, find out the whole truth of Christ and not become Catholic. It's a choice. Many have done that, including some well-known personalities. Some have...

Excellent question. It is in a combination of Oral Tradition (aka, Holy Tradition) and Written Tradition (Scriptures) as St. Paul referred to in 2 Thes 2:15. "Tradition" in this sense is not what we normally think of as tradition, i.e., common practices. Tradition in this sense means...

In the Old Testament, God kept trying to make covenants with the Jews. And, the Jews were always breaking them. Finally, Jesus Christ came, and established the final covenant with mankind. It is for each individual to either live in accordance with this covenant or not. Life is all about...

Then you misunderstand the analogy. Let me try to clarify for you... The wine and sewerage are the beliefs (doctrines). If your beliefs line up perfectly with what has always been taught, from Jesus teaching the Apostles, who taught their successors the bishops, etc., then your beliefs are...

"They" who? God's Church has the fullness of God's teaching. Whether each/any individual lives up to that teaching is between them and God. The analogy I usually use when teaching is to compare the Church to a franchised gym. This franchise claims to have the world's best gyms, with the best...

If I had a wine and cheese party, and you were invited (and loved wine, for sake of the example), and I told everyone that we had the world's finest, most expensive wine to share. Would you drink it? Of course! But.. What if right before serving it, I put one tiny teaspoon of sewerage into...

Sadly, the enemy has gotten control over our educational system and the national media. Our students are no longer educated on how to think, but what to think and how to "feel" about it. They have been effectively indoctrinated through lies about history, economics, politics, etc., leaving out...

[People call it the roman church because it was formed by the roman emperor and because it is housed on the 7 hills in rome] Would you care to give me an historical reference that backs this up? The Catholic Church existed from the very beginning. There was but ONE Church for the first 1000...

You do realize that there is no such church as the "Roman Church," right? The "Roman" tag was added by Protestants (Anglicans) in the 16th century as a polemic (an insult to Catholics). And if there were any validity to Protestantism, there would be ONE Protestant denomination, all believing...

Jesus trained and formed men to spread His message. He didn't write a book to be self-interpreted to do so. The Apostles, likewise, trained and formed their successors, the bishops, who have done so now for close to 2000 years. Unless you can prove that Jesus, or an angel from heaven, is...

I don't know if you just made that up, or you read some polemic, revisionist history about the Catholic Church, but it's not often I see this level of error. I don't know what to tell you, other than try to go to a secular library and do some honest historical research. Then you can speak to...

You are confusing the Empire of Rome with the Catholic Church. The Empire of Rome is distinctly different than the Catholic Church. The term "Roman Catholic Church" is not the offical name of Christ's Church. It is simply the Catholic Church. The "Rome" part was a pejorative added in the...

[As I said, Rome wrote history. Anything that went against them was removed from the history books and ceased to be written history] So, curiously... IF there is no written history other than what was written before Protestantism, how could Protestants come up with a different (true, according...

Cardinal Newman Said, “To Be Deep in History Is to Cease to Be Protestant.” If you study history (not made up, revisionist history), you will clearly see that the Catholic Church is the original and still existing Church founded by Christ. The majority of Christians in the world are Catholic...

Sorry, but the Catholic Church is not a denomination, strictly speaking. The word denomination has its roots in Latin and indicates that it comes "from" something else. The Catholic Church is THE Church founded by Christ. Unlike all the tens of thousands of man-made Protestant denominations...
