While Scripture is materially sufficient to provide answers, it must be correctly interpreted. Therein lies the problem. Scripture, like any book, is not self-interpreting. In fact, Scripture itself warns against personal interpertation of Scripture in 2 Peter 1:20-21. If you needed brain...

I can't recall seeing so many people who think they know so many "facts" about the Christian faith that are just incorrect, because they try to reinvent the wheel from self-interpreting the Bible. It's mind boggling! Everyone seems to imagine themselves as their own Pope. No higher authority...

You've hit on an important point. Catechesis, at least in western affluent society, is abysmal. And it's not a recent problem. It's now generational. I would wager that a majority of Catholics in this country have about a 2nd grade education in the faith. The sad thing is that there are so...

Not to anyone, and especially not unborn babies.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Great thing about freedom!

Crucifixion was very common in Jesus' time. The roads were lined with crucified men. Sometimes, they would even light the bodies to use as street lights. It was the Romans' way of saying, "Look what we can do to you!" An in your face, if you will. The Crucifix is our answer to the Romans...

Then I would assure you they were ignorant of their Catholic faith. I would encourage you to read the following article to get a (much!) better understanding of what Catholics believe: Dulia and Hyperdulia: Do Catholics Really Worship Mary? – EWTN Global Catholic Television Network The Bible...

It was made by Jesus Christ, Who is both God and man. It is directed by humans whom He calls to do so. (A "vocation" is a callling, not a self-appointment.)

So, you don't believe that Jesus is God?!

St. John Henry Cardinal Newman once said, “To Be Deep in History Is to Cease to Be Protestant.” I think many Protestants, if they actually realized what the Catholic Church was, would convert in a minute. It is not a mere man-made organization like Protestant denominations, but a living...

You are clearly confusing freedom with license. License is doing whatever you want to do, like murdering the unborn. Freedom is doing that which one ought to do. I don't self-interpret Scripture to come to whatever conclusion suits my taste. I'm Catholic and I interpret Scripture through...

What a great law! They would have it on the books just like they do child porn. Pornograhy is one of the 10 most common gateways to demonic influence in people's lives. One of the infamous mass murderers was interviewed before being executed. He mentioned that he didn't know one criminal...

Do you believe in the Holy Trinity? That word and term is not in the Bible! But the principle is, just as the office that the Pope occupies. Clearly, in ancient times, everyone in the Middle East would have easily understood the office symbolized by "the keys" of a second-in-command. Matt...

T The fetus is, indeed, living. That's why it grows. Living things grow. Where were you in biology class? Sleeping? LOL Our laws do recognize the unborn as persons, when it feels like it. (Should be consistent, although it's not.) If a criminal shoots and kills a pregnant woman, he is...

The word "fetus" means "unborn young." Therefore, a human fetus is an unborn young human. Abortion is murder, straight up. Throughout the history of man, Satan has convinced certain people that murder is perfectly fine if they follow this formula: 1. Pick a group of humans that one wants to...

Many words do not appear in the Bible that Christians believe. For example, the word Trinity is not in the Bible. But the principle is, and so is the leadership of Peter. Now take a closer look at the key verse: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church” (Matt. 16:18). Disputes...

Ok. So show me another Church before 1054 A.D. when the Orthodox separated from the Catholic Church. OR, show me where an angel, or Our Lord, Himself, came down during the 16th century or after, and gave whomever started your Protestant denomination, a list of "corrections" to what was always...

Again, I refer you to 2 Peter 1:20-21. Using personal interpretation of Scripture is not supported. It's not that you get everything wrong, but you risk error. If there were any validity to Protestantism, there would be one Protestant denomination, all believing the same thing, not thousands...

History disagrees with you, heartily. BTW, the official title of the Church is not the Roman Catholic Church, but simply, the Catholic Church. The Roman part was added by the Anglicans as a polemic centuries after the Catholic Church was in operation. Did you read the letter by St. Ignatious...
