It a bit like a vampire reeling from the sight of a crucifix. Aversion to holy things is a sign of demonic influence.

Sounds like you misunderstood what you were taught by the CC. Whose fault it that?

I can tell you put a lot of thought into that argument

That verse means the Church - not the Scriptures - is the primary source of truth. Eph 1:22-23 says the Church is the "fullness" of Christ. Nowhere do the Scriptures say the Scriptures are the "pillar and foundation of the truth" or that the Scriptures are "fullness" of Christ. Now all you...

Which Catholic document recommends that Catholics should pray to statues?

You've just make a mistake that lots of Bible beginners make.

It says "VAIN repetitions", not "repetitions".

The nuance in your argument will no doubt go right over their heads ...

Bowing is evil? Where does the Bible say that?

These words seem to indicate that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed.

The Catholic Church teaches that Mary was not “natural born” - she was immaculately conceived, meaning she was born free from the stain of original sin. The must be true as the Catholic Church is “pillar and foundation of the truth” (1Tim 3:15) and is “the fullness” of Christ (Eph 1:22).

No, it is you who has missed the point: If God appointed men to infallibly convey God’s word to the rest of mankind, then God can use men (the Bishops) in the Church to infallibly convey God’s word to mankind. God can use men to infallibly convey His word anytime, anywhere and as many times as...

Christ has only one Church and its called the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is “the bride of Christ”. You are not a member of Christ’s Church, although you are joined to the Catholic Church - albeit imperfectly - courtesy of your baptism, your faith and presumably, your love of God...

Hearing this is painful, but it doesn’t surprise me at all … one of the greatest evils that crept into the Church after Vatican II (1960’s) is what they call “Interfaith Dialogue” - a Modernist movement which promotes a very unhealthy respect for non-Christian religions (which are actually...

I am a Catholic and I agree with you that some Catholics and some Catholic schools are a "disgrace". And I will go further … a lot of what has been going on in mainstream Catholic culture since the 1960's is a disgrace. Many Catholic teachers have very weak faith or even no faith at all, and...

Really? Which part of 2Tim 3:15 says the Bible is the only word of God? Furthermore, the context of that verse means it is referring to the OT.

If so, why did Jesus, just before he died, place Mary under the care of one of the apostles (John 19: 26-27)? That makes no sense if Mary had other children to look after her.

St. Ignatius, the third Bishop of Antioch, in a letter to the Smyrnaeans, dated circa 110 AD, refers to his Church as “the Catholic Church”. So “the Catholic Church” existed centuries before Constantine made the Catholic Church the “Roman state church”.

If Jesus is not God, why does Col 1:16 says “all things were created THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM”? And why does Col 1:19 says “ALL the FULLNESS OF GOD was pleased to dwell” in Jesus?
