    The difference in churches

    Hello Alfred, Thats correct. As far as I know the Lutherans never had a valid Bishop or bishops join them, thus they have no authority to ordain new bishops and priests.. The Anglicans are a different story as I believe there is some question as to whether valid bishops took part in the split...

    Is Sunday the "New Covenant Sabbath"?

    I have just read that document Rerum Novarum (May 15, 1891) | LEO XIII Nowhere do i find what you have claimed here. I have been unable to find the sourc3 document foe your 'quotes' about decretals.. Do you have a link? Your misrepresenatation of Rerum Novarum does not encourage me to accept...

    Is Sunday the "New Covenant Sabbath"?

    Interesting, looks like i have some reading to do.. In the meantime, feom the catechism.. (Bolding by me) 2072 Since they express man's fundamental duties towards God and towards his neighbor, the Ten Commandments reveal, in their primordial content, grave obligations. They are fundamentally...

    Acts 15:14 tells us God has a people for His name from the Gentiles.

    Hello Robert, As was already pointed out, not all religeous symbols and art are idols. Idols are worshiped as god(s), sacrifice offered to them etc etc... I suppose that would depend entirely on their reasons for doing so. (He knows our hearts) For I resolved to know nothing while I was...

    Is Sunday the "New Covenant Sabbath"?

    Hello Phoneman, That would, of course, include being in the community the apostles founded. No one has the authority to establish a new community and say 'here is the remnant'. The apostle John made that clear, as did Paul when he said: And from your own group, men will come forward perverting...

    Why do Catholics…

    You arent competant to make such a judgement. Your obstiniate rejection of the Truth flows from your lack of faith.. Welcome to the ignore list..

    Is Sunday the "New Covenant Sabbath"?

    Ah brother, Know that I love you. And that I know you seek to follow Christ. Which is is comendable! But so you really think I should listen to you rather than the Apostle John? They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with...

    Electing New Pope

    That is a discipine of the Roman rite. With good reason. . Do you have a problem with men who offer their entire lives to serve Christ and His Church? Pax et Bonum Martyrs of Owo, Pray for us!

    Why do Catholics…

    The Catholic Church. That is the Church of Christ, that HE founded through His apostles. A community set apart, a people who praise God's Holy name and fulfill Malachi 1:11

    Acts 15:14 tells us God has a people for His name from the Gentiles.

    You mean like the religious symbols God ordered the Israelites to use? What does that have to do with the worship of idols? In any event, your question was answered.. Pax et Bonum

    Why do Catholics…

    Proof? Brother what more proof do you need than this: Every 2000 year old apostolic community Lives this Truth! You are thus forced to conclude that it is the teaching of the apostles, or that the whole Church, everywhere, not only fell into error, but the very same error.. Pax et Bonum

    Why do Catholics…

    What you are missing, my dear Ferris, Is that the Church was celebrating the Sacraments and living the Faith, before 1 letter of the NT was penned. To read the NT without the context of the living Tradition of the Church, Which we received from Christ, through the apostles, is to set oneself...

    Electing New Pope

    Free? Haha.. The Pope is more bound than we are, he cannot contradict past magesterial teaching without destroying his own authority. For example, Pope Francis could not say we can now ordain women to the priesthood. John Paul the Great closed the door to any more discussion on the topic...

    Wild fires in Europe and around the world

    Man made co2 induced global warming is junk science. No physicist worth hos alphabet soup would sign on to such an asinine hypothesis that has a colder atmosphere heating a warmer surface.. 2LoT and all that.. As for Europe, i think this is an interesting opinion: Pax et Bonum
