You did not answer the question, Rex. Why did you leave out CCC 805??

Yes, Jesus shared the seed of Abraham and David......but that seed that Jesus shared in came through Mary. Why? Because Joseph was not Jesus' father. The flesh of Christ came from Mary. It did not come from Joseph. It was God who made Mary free of original sin.....just as it was God who...

That is because you are only "picking and choosing" from the Catechism what you want, Rex. You pick the Catechism that says "Mary is the Church?" Why didn't you ALSO pick Catechism #805 which says that the Church is the Body of Christ, Rex?? Why did you leave out CCC 805? 805 The Church is...

Mary was born with the exact same nature as Adam and Eve. The problem here is you think that Adam and Eve were created sinful to begin with. Adam and Eve were never created with sin in them. When God created Adam and Eve, there was no sin in them. That is exactly the same nature that Mary...

It means that you belong to the entire mystical body of Christ along with us. If you look at the Heading listed under CCC 838, it says "Who Belongs To the Catholic Church?" So, if you read CCC 836 -838, it answers that question. The Heading says: Who belongs to the Catholic Church? It...

The Catechism says that there is no salvation outside the Church, and the Church is defined as the entire body of Christ. The Catechism did NOT say that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church. When we say the "Church" what makes you think that we are speaking only of the RCC...

Yes, and CCC 838 stated the RCC joins herself with other Christians who are in "imperfect communion with her." So, if you are joined with us despite that the communion is imperfect, what does that tell you??.

Oh....you seem to take offense that you are not "in perfect communion with the Catholic Church?" Would you prefer if we say that YOU are "in perfect communion with the Catholic Church"? Do you even know what "in perfect communion" means?? It means that you are a Roman Catholic. Are you a...

That is a nice and touching website. I didn't even notice it until I read Aspen's post.

Rex, why do you need to post anything from our Catechism? There's nothing in our Catechism that says that Protestants are not saved. It's only you saying it.

There is nothing in our Catechism saying that Protestants are not saved, Rex. As a matter of fact, even Catholics don't claim that they are saved. Only certain Protestants claimed that they are saved. A Catholic, on the other hand, believes that we are in the process of being saved.

I think this is a noble thing you are doing.....bringing God to all people. Why do you need to point it out, Rex?? Most posters in this board are already aware who the Catholics are on this board. There's only a few Catholics here, and it appears that you feel threatened by just the few...

This is exactly what I mean. I rest my case. :)

It appears that Christianity is decreasing in Europe due to secularism. And it appears the same thing is happening in the United States for the same reason.

We don't need to ask. We already know that Jesus is the Head of the Church. :)

Disagreeing on a topic is not a problem, but there are some who are not discussing the topic....but simply attacking and putting down the denomination. By bringing in the denomination (whether it be Protestant or RCC), they already get off the topic. In other words, the moment they mention RCC...

The Church and God are one. The Church is the Body of Christ, and Christ is the Head of the Church. One cannot separate the Head and Body of Christ. They are one. This is why Christ told His Apostles: He who listens to YOU listens to ME. He who rejects YOU rejects ME (Luke 10:16)...

The Ark is a symbol for the Church. The ark is a ship, which is an ancient Christian symbol. It is the Church tossed on the sea of disbelief, worldliness, and persecution but finally reaching safe harbor with its cargo of human souls. Part of the imagery comes from the ark saving Noah's family...

If you read my entire posts, I said that God is the only one who can determine whether we are worshiping Him in spirit because He's the only one who can see into a person's heart.
