There are many people today who do not believe that Jesus was God and was ascended into Heaven. So, how do you know that God did not bring Mary into Heaven? Since when is faith supposed to be based on facts? It is tragic that the Jews did not believe that Jesus was the long-awaited...

Hello Rach, The thing is...we are not making up anything. As I pointed out, the ascension of Mary was in a document called De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John. It is also mentioned in a spurious letter attributed to St. Denis the Areopagite. If we consult genuine writings in...

It is written in documents found from the first to sixth centuries. For example, the ascension of Mary was written in a document called De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John. in a spurious letter attributed to St. Denis the Areopagite. If we consult genuine writings in the East, it...

What you repeated is NOT even the same as your first statement. The traditions that St. Paul spoke about was passed on from generation to generation until someone finally wrote it down. In the same way, the oral teachings came first until someone wrote it down and it became Scripture...

Hello Rach, The calling of God does not end with the Apostles. God continues to call others even after the Apostles had passed away. Whoever He calls and dedicate his life to following His will is given the same authority as the Apostles by Christ. The Bishop and priests are called by...

Hello Rach, Sorry, it took me a while to get back on the forum board. I am on a 3 day retreat, and it's morning here. In a few hours, I will be praying the Liturgy of the Hours, so I have some time to write. In the course of my conversation, with other non-Christians, I would, of course...

Hi Templar, I agree that Islam appears to be getting bolder and stronger. Also, the Muslims don't need to go on a jihad against western societies. Muslims who are already in western societies will soon outnumber Christians. They can easily take over that way. Just look at what happened to...

Hello Rach, I never assumed that at all. If a Buddhist wishes to get into a discussion with me about our faiths, we can discuss it but I never tell him that he is going to Hell if he remains to be a Buddhist. Of course, I will pray for him, but I will not force him into Christianity. I will...

Oops! My bad! That should be written as 2 Thessalonians 2:15. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned whether by word, or by our epistle.

Hello Rach, My priest is from Ecuador and can speak about 7 different languages. Japanese is one of the languages that he can speak fluently. A few years ago, he invited 5 Japanese performers to perform cultural dances and songs after Mass. Many people stayed to watch the Japanese...

Hello Rach, I respect all beliefs and I value "freedom of religion." A person has a right to believe in whatever they want to believe. This is also in accordance to the teachings in our Catechisms (CCC #1907). I have never had Mormons visit me. I get more Jehovah Witnesses visiting me. Of...

You see.....you are comparing us to the Mormons. I rest my case. The Mormons have two Sacred books. Catholics only have one Sacred book, which is the Holy Bible. We do not believe in "Sola Scripture" (Scripture alone). The Bible never taught Scripture alone. This is where Protestants and...

[/size] Really? Like you were not trying to compare us to the Mormons? My brother, the Catechisms are the "apostolic traditions that St. Paul spoke about. 2 Thessalonians 2:14 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our...

[/size] My brother, they cannot be compared to Christianity because they have a different book that we do not use. If you recall in my post to Foreigner, I told him that because he is not a Catholic, it is understandable that he would view the Catholic Church as teaching incorrect doctrines...

Hi Aspen, When I first read your post, I thought you may have been confusing Purgatory with Hell. Purgatory is also known as a place of fire, but the fires there purges or removes the sins found in the soul. My brother Aspen, I am not a perfect Catholic and even I have my own faults. :) God...

My brother, I did answer the question. You just don't like the answer. That was the answer. Why in the world would you compare the Mormons with Christians when the Mormons are not Christians because they use another book called "The Book of Mormons." Do Christians use the Book of Mormons...

The Mormons have what is called "The Book of Mormons." Since they follow that book (which is not the Bible), then they are correct according to their book. The fact that you were a former Catholic or former "anything" makes you go against the Bible. Why? Because the Bible says to obey and...

Thank you for the invitation. And I would be interested in this Bible study. In Christ, Selene

Foreigner, because you are not Catholic, it is understandable that you think that the Catholic Church is incorrect. However, the fact that we do not dismiss our Church shows that we are indeed aligned with what the Bible teaches. In other words, the Bible says that Christ is the Head of the...

Excuse me.....but you were the one who cannot choose between God and the Bible. With me, I believe what the Bible says. And the Bible SAYS that Christ is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH! I say "I do not recognize this as Catholic teaching" because I believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the...
