For the Protestant Reformers to rationalize breaking away from what was universally acknowledged in their culture as the Christian Church, it was necessary for them to deny the Catholic Church’s authority. To maintain their positions, they were forced to portray it as a kind of "anti-Church"...

So you are of the Westborough Baptist church type and preach that God hates fags. You've ignored the context of what the Pope said. I don't put any stock in cheap news rags the way you do. The media is at war with the Church, but not yours. There are no gay marriages in the Catholic Church but...

Wrong. Peter did not understand why Jesus would go to Jerusalem where is was dangerous for Jesus. Try reading the context. You are rebuking half the New Testament. Peter was not yet Pope, and Peter gave no teaching. I've already pointed this out but your prejudice prevents you from seeing the...

Chapter and verse, please. The 100% spiritual or invisible church cannot exist. It cannot bind and loose (a rabbinical term). Jesus builds His church on the person of Peter, but not without the spirit of God. You make a false dichotomy. To you, it cannot be both. The Holy books of the Bible was...

As we all know and as many of our well established textbooks have argued for decades, the Inquisition was one of the most frightening and bloody chapters in Western history, Pope Pius XII was anti-Semitic and rightfully called “Hitler’s Pope,” the Dark Ages were a stunting of the progress of...

The next time you down play Peter’s authority with "get behind me satan", I will post Jesus did not rebuke Peter for his teaching. Jesus rebuked Peter for his lack of understanding for the 50th time, and maybe it will sink in. I doubt it. You will use the same lame argument to down play Peter’s...

The Gospel according the TheSun (a cheap tabloid) Are you trying to discredit the Church or just the Pope? The Church has always had acceptance of homosexuals, she does not accept homosexual behavior. This is unlike fundie Bible groups who just damns them to hell. There is nothing wrong with...

Yea, I am ignoring you. Somehow you escaped from my ignorasium. Mark 8:33 – non-Catholics sometimes use this verse to down play Peter’s authority. This does not make sense. In this verse, Jesus rebukes Peter to show the import of His Messianic role as the Savior of humanity. Moreover, at this...

Peter was leader of the whole Church and spokesman for all the apostles. I have 70+ verses to prove it if you want them. If you bash Catholicism with the standard lies and falsehoods, and REFUSE to be corrected, you are anti-Catholic. Period. It's an epidemic on this board. If it walks like...

I think you worship the golden calf of lies and falsehoods. No Protestant historian or Protestant bible college teaches that burned people at the stake for having a different opinion nonsense. You have no evidence from the last 50 years. It's hate propaganda from the 18th century. Bible...

Hysteria is a powerful healer....for a day. Shamp is entertaining, and I have seen even wilder delusions at the Toronto Blessing. They are a happy bunch but I think the girl in the front row needs anti-depressants. His tongues seem contrived.

This is called a discussion forum. What you post is open to the whole world to comment on. You can also use the private message feature. St. Peter was appointed by God. Do you need proof texts? I've said this before and I will say it again. I am not anti-Protestant, I am anti-ignorant Catholic...

The resignations of the Chilean bishops never occurred. It was a demand for action from the Pope, he met with them 4 times a day for 3 days. and he wrote them a letter, and the pope did all he could. He is not superman, ya know. You were wrong about the Chilean bishops. Yes, bad priests are...

You equate a perversion with a crucifix? Paul preached Christ crucified. He must have been a Catholic.

Mitres came out in the 10th-11th century, the dagon religion vanished ages ago. In any culture religious head gear has always been weird. Priests don't wear "robes", the chasuble they wear developed from what the priests wore in ancient Israel. If your minister (if you have one) wants to wear a...

Does that apply to the hundreds of Protestant denominations whose ministers also wear backwards collars? Or are you addicted to making cheap shots only at Catholic priests?

There is no resurrection without the crucifixion. There is nothing wrong with wearing a cross or crucifix. It reminds us of what Jesus did for us. It's called Christianity, summarized.

A date and source would be nice. At the end of three days of reflection with the bishops of Chile in the Vatican, from May 15-17, 2018, Pope Francis handed them a letter stressing the “gravity of the abuses “on minors, of power and of conscience,” committed by members of the Church in the...

I don't buy it. Cardinal Pell is innocent and has been smeared by the media. The sex scandals has, largely, ended in the Catholic Church, and in Protestant churches it rages on unchecked. Shamp says nothing about that. There are earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes. These are natural...

God became man. The Incarnation was the event in salvation history that raised matter to previously unknown heights. All created matter was “good” from the start (Gen 1:25), but was “glorified” by the Incarnation. Ritual and “physicality” were not abolished by the coming of Christ. Quite the...
