The media distortions, misrepresentations and blatant LIES bashing Catholicism is so widespread, somebody made a meme: I pray these doomsdayers would ask themselves why it's us that takes most of the heat. They talk much about "tribulation" while they are the ones inflicting it.

Pope Francis was asked by a reporter if his political leanings were to the right or to the left. The Pope replied: "Neither, I follow Catholic social teaching. KEY PRINCIPLES OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING Human Dignity In a world warped by materialism and declining respect for human life, the...

What a stupid pack of lies! If one knows the very least of the Church's teaching on ecumenism, and the Vatican declaration on Religious Freedom, and dozens of other encyclicals the Pope cannot change, a one-world-government led by the Pope IS IMPOSSIBLE! It's just another paranoid fundie "Bible...

The same number you would expect from any given congregation of a full range of age groups. Yes, and applied to the here and now; most of the time. In depth scripture study is available in every diocese by qualified teachers, not sideways sharing. Priests are not obligated to quote what had...

You must know a lot of stupid Catholics. Pope Francis: Treat the Bible like we treat our cell phone Sacraments, an outward sign of an inward grace, is Christ with us in a special way from the cradle to the grave. They are necessary for Catholics for salvation. They are not necessary for...

Everybody is "right". It's a question of being truthful. It's so very tempting to wield the truth like a baseball bat and not a beacon of light. We all make mistakes. Bringing a love/hate relation with the Church into an arena with lions is also a mistake.

Good one, Nancy. A link to our church should be mandatory in the profile. http://wp.dol.ca/webportal/parish/web/view_parish/Holy_Name_of_Jesus_Parish/1/5

Scroll back to post #178, one page back. Vatican wealth is a myth.

Every Catholic in the world, going back centuries, knows the homily is not in Latin. Misunderstanding is one thing, refusing to be corrected is something else. Ex-Catholics become bitter anti-Catholics when indoctrinated with fundie lies, and it's very frustrating when dealing with...

It's just semantics. Christ is the living word made Flesh, a.k.a.: The Divine Logos. The Bible, on the other hand, is the written word of God. What was first spoken got written. But there weren't always stenographers instantly recording every word of the sacred speaker. Not all of the spoken...

dattaswami8's avatar is misleading and inappropriate. Jesus is just part of the Hindu pantheon, to them. This is the Church's relationship with the Hindus: 1. In our time, when day by day mankind is being drawn closer together, and the ties between different peoples are becoming stronger, the...

Sorry, but this is a common misunderstanding. The Church is “under” the authority of the Bible in the sense that it will not contradict what is in the Bible. It is not “under” it in terms of the authority of the Bible being intrinsically superior to the authority of the Church. The Bible...

Ephesians 1:13-14 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Heb 13 Version: And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of...

So what. One priest who voiced an opinion that clashes with Church teaching. One out of 420,000. How many same sex marriages has he officiated??? An Australian Jesuit priest has been banned by the Catholic Archbishop of Hobart from speaking publicly about same-sex marriage in the archdiocese...

All grace comes from heaven, but that is not the point. Eph. 1:13-14 refers to the Sacrament of Confirmation, which is administered by a bishop using holy oil. "Sacrament of Confirmation" is a developed term that MEANS EXACTLY THE SAME THING. The anointing is not some invisible action that is...

That's why you reject the Early Church Fathers. Martin Luther would laugh at your absurd Bible origin fantasies. Your hate cult has no credibility, neither do your false histories. Only an idiot would take you seriously after the SDA exposure on this board. You need a de-programmer and a...

Thank you for your thoughtful post. We pay a dear price for holding on to principles. Recently, in Philadelphia, a judge ordered a Catholic adoption agency to adopt to same sex couples. This means the agency has no choice but to shut down. This has occurred in 5 other areas in "the land of the...

Mariology is the study of Mary. Mariolotry is the worship of Mary, and has been condemned by the Church as a heresy since the earliest centuries of the Church. It's one of the worst insults thrown at Catholics, and I've seen it all too often. Protestants get "0" education on the Biblical Mary...

The term "romanist" is insulting and not remotely "Christ centered".
