Exactly - just as the infallible words of the Bible were written by appointed and elected men. The same process of men being infallibly guided by the Holy Spirit is at work in God's one, true Church - the Catholic Church.

Luke 1:43 says Mary is the mother of God. That's good enough for me.

Nowhere does the Bible tell us to study only the Scriptures - that is a man-made tradition. On the contrary, we are told that the Church is the "pillar and foundation of the truth". So if you should study anything, it's the teachings of the Church. Therefore I recommend that you replace the...

If the Church was initially nameless, so what?

No Catholic is taught to talk to statues. What happened was, you're such a dunce that you totally misunderstood what Catholic statues are for. Sadly, you're still a dunce, and you still totally misunderstand Catholic teachings.

Of course he can't. Truther is a dishonest bs-artist and hate-monger who claims all manner of idiotic, mendacious nonsense about the Catholic Church, but can't substantiate any of it. What a clown.

Now the public can read the Bible and millions of them get it WRONG. That's because only the Catholic Church is guided by the Holy Spirit to correctly interpret the Scriptures.

I don't replace Jesus Christ with anything or anyone. The Catholic Church acts as a mediator between mankind and "the man, Christ Jesus." .That's one reason for Jesus creating the Church.

Judging by what I've heard from you so far, I'd say your quest of restoration is going in the wrong direction. Besides, the Catholic Church has been teaching correct doctrine for thousands of years - your input isn't needed at this stage.

BOL's doctrine is based on the doctrines of the one, true Church, whose doctrines are the infallible word of God and are as valid as any Sacred Scripture. The Church's doctrines don't even need Scriptural evidence. The Bible came from the Church, the Church did not come from the Bible. The...

It's not a problem for me, but it might be for you. It is the will of God that we worship and approach Him through His Church (called the Roman Catholic Church). You have rejected and left God's Church, holding it in contempt, so you are a heretic. Therefore you run the risk of Jesus saying to...

Believers through baptism are graced to become partakers of Christ’s divine nature (2Peter 1:4); Paul says in Gal 2:20, “… it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me”. Due to this supernatural bond with Christ and His divine nature, believers are blessed to some degree with some of...

It doesn't take much to confuse some folks ... Little wonder they struggle with Catholic theology. It's like trying to teach Grade 12 maths to Grade 1-ers.

Your "apostate Jerusalem" hypothesis is very interesting. I'd not heard it before and will look into it. Thanks.

That may be so, but not all Christians have the right to dictate doctrine - only the bishops of the Catholic Church, led by the Pope, have that power. Your "church" doesn't even have bishops!

That's true, but not everyone has the right to dictate doctrine - that right is given to the Church only (ie, the RCC).
