I don't mean to be rude, but your ignorance of Catholicism is profound. The whole world stopped sinning when Jesus died? Salvation by works apart from the grace of Christ is a heresy. You have been told this about 20 times. We are no longer required to think? Matrimony is a sacrament. Is...

It is impossible for the Church to invent sacraments. They come to us from Jesus and the Apostles. Matrimony is a sacrament, is that an invention too? So you deny/ignore John 20:23??? The Church did not invent confessionals, the Jews had it first. John 20:22 – the Lord “breathes” on the...

Deut. 5:8 – God’s commandment “thou shall not make a graven image” is entirely connected to the worship of false gods. God does not prohibit images to be used in worship, but He prohibits the images themselves to be worshiped. Exodus 25:18-22; 26:1,31 – for example, God commands the making of...

I'm sorry you do not understand what individualism means. If you can't be bothered to look it up, I can't be bothered to break it down into sound bytes. You really haven't a clue what point 15 means, so you cover up your ignorance with irrelevant and lame remarks. This has NOTHING to do with...

No comment on American presidents whose limos have bullet proof glass? The Pope needs protection given that he gets 30 death threats a month. Have you heard of the ISIS? Perhaps you are not old enough. I often wonder how many death threats are sent by ignorant, uneducated anti-Catholic bigots...

Probably because the communists blamed him for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. He said it collapsed under the weight of its own errors, especially Poland.

You oppose the practice of a celibate priesthood because your forefathers unbiblically abolished it 500 years ago. We know the Apostles were married, that is not a shock to Catholics, but you either don't know the scriptures or defy them. Celibacy is a discipline only in the Roman rite, and it...

Matt. 26:29; Mark 14:25 – Jesus is celebrating the Passover seder meal with the apostles which requires them to drink four cups of wine. But Jesus only presents the first three cups. He stops at the Third Cup (called “Cup of Blessing” – that is why Paul in 1 Cor. 10:16 uses the phrase “Cup of...

I don't know where you get "vampire" from. John 10:7 – Jesus did speak metaphorically about Himself in other places in Scripture. For example, here Jesus says, “I am the door.” But in this case, no one asked Jesus if He was literally made of wood. They understood him metaphorically. John 15:1,5...

Point taken. phony man

Phony man makes a challenge about the Eucharist then hides behind a phony video. He is not capable of discussion. "Incidentally, the RCC has always maintained that Darwin's theory is correct" is another one of phony mans lies. Notice he can't stay on any one topic without throwing in a flaming...

You get taken by a media headline that is a lie, because you love lies. Here's a quote: Pope Francis described as dangerous the temptation to believe that one can have a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ without communion with and the mediation of the Church. Even...

Cute. kepha31's password won't work, he is in retirement ;)

phony man, the Incarnation is not a satanic teaching. If you are going to attack, then attack what we really believe, not your phony inventions. There is not a single real Protestant historian, Protestant bible college or Protestant theologian in the last 50 years that agrees with your hate...

The fact is that Christ’s flesh avails much! If it were of no avail, then the Son of God incarnated for no reason, he died for no reason, and he rose from the dead for no reason. Christ’s flesh profits us more than anyone else’s in the world. If it profits us nothing, so that the incarnation...

That kind of error is an anti-Catholic invention and not what the Church teaches. I've posted actual teaching at least twice (post #100, 111) but your irrational anger and hostility has you blinded, which makes any discussion with you pointless. You can't stop with your stupid flaming zingers...

If you were not such a coward, you would name a least one "priestly lie" and it can be discussed rationally and calmly. But you are not capable. You can only post flaming zingers. I can document every single teaching of the Church, and they are all available to the public while you keep your...

The catechism is not the Bible. We don't read the catechism the way you read the Bible. You may object if I were to quote one Bible verse related to salvation for example, and say "this is what Protestants teach about salvation". It would not be fair, and it is not fair for you (or Matt Slick)...

Between the extremes of the Concordant Version and the Cotton-Patch Version is a spectrum of respectable translations that strike different balances between literal and dynamic equivalence. Toward the literal end of the spectrum are translations such as the King James Version (KJV), the New...

Original Greek and Hebrew texts no longer exist. The historic Church used the Latin Vulgate put together by St. Jerome in the 4th century. He used all available manuscripts, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic and translated them. He got help from Jewish rabbis who met him at night to avoid scorn from...
