wikipedia is a NON-CATHOLIC source, and as usual, it is WRONG. Most Catholics don't make a big deal about it. Roman Catholic and Catholic are INTER CHANGEABLE terms from a popular perspective, while "Catholic Church" is the most accurate from a historical perspective. "Roman Catholic" does not...

The information you are looking for is in the links provided. They are already brief summaries. Ask yourself how many reformers were sent to their deaths because they didn't agree with the Pope, (0) or how many Protestants were drawn and quartered by Catholics, or how many Protestant churches...

“Reformation” Theft of Thousands of Catholic Churches [4-12-08] “Reformation” Theft of Catholic Church Properties and Supposed Catholic Apologetic “Blind Spots” [4-20-08] * OPPOSITION TO CO-EXISTENCE WITH CATHOLICS AND THE MASS (“ANTI-ECUMENISM”) The Real Diet of Augsburg (1530) vs. the...

Don't try and read the whole thing at once. INTRODUCTORY / OVERVIEW I don't think you realize how much data you are asking from me. The Protestant Revolt: Its Tragic Initial Impact * Protestant Inquisitions: “Reformation” Intolerance & Persecution Luther Film (2003): Detailed Catholic...

Because "Catholic Inquisitions" assumes that is the only type, and it is a handy bat to beat Catholics with and avoid the truth of the Protestant Inquisitions (which were worse). Unfortunately, the religious "scandal score" needs to be evened up now and then, and the lesser-known "skeletons in...

Are you disturbed that DP Martin's logical fallacies have been exposed? What's it like defending atheistic arguments? It seems some have read my post. It requires an attention span beyond a sound byte. If you don't like my long copy and pastes, then don't bother with it and quit your crying. I...

I was being sarcastic on 2 levels: on those who think the Bible is always a simple book;(it is not) and on those who think the problem of evil is resolved by quoting a few verses. (it is not)

The problem of evil is simple, any 10 year old can read the Bible and figure it out.:p

If the origin of evil is free will, and God is the origin of free will, isn't God then the origin of evil? Only as parents are the origin of the misdeeds their children commit by being the origin of their children. The all-powerful God gave us a share in his power to choose freely. Would we...

Nonsense. The problem of evil is the most serious problem in the world. It is also the one serious objection to the existence of God. When Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote his great Summa Theologica, he could find only two objections to the existence of God, even though he tried to list at least...

I've posted this before: RITES A Rite represents an ecclesiastical, or church, tradition about how the sacraments are to be celebrated. Each of the sacraments has at its core an essential nature which must be satisfied for the sacrament to be confected or realized. This essence – of matter...

What is a "Roman Christian" ??? Which ones? Fly at it! There is no fixed legal term for "Catholic". You can start a Catholic chocolate company or a Catholic chess club. Nobody was issuing patents when the term was first used to describe the true Church in the 1st century (which was...

God didn't make hate. And He is not the author of senseless polemics. Scripture tells us to look to the Church for clarification of verses that are difficult to understand. 2 Peter 3:15-16. Private interpretation just makes a mess of everything. “Men do not differ much about what things they...

Unless anyone can substantiate what Fr. Z does with whatever money is made with hard facts and financial statements; this thread amounts to nothing more than GOSSIP.

I think it's the content of some of the articles that really disgusts you: Here is a quote from St. Josephine about her life as a slave: “One day I unwittingly made a mistake that incensed the master’s son. He became furious, snatched me violently from my hiding place, and began to strike me...

Exactly where and how does he do that? By selling an e-book for $.99??? Amazon and Barnes and Noble):

Wanna know why ex-Catholics become anti-Catholics?

Yes. It was published in 1888. Since then archives have been opened giving scholars a whole new perspective because they were not available until the 1960's. Still, the information we have has not yet filtered down to the general public, and the voice that screams the loudest gets heard. The...

That is a lie. If you would stop misrepresenting us so much we would have so much more to talk about about. Matt. 16:24; Mark 8:34 – Jesus said, “if any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Jesus wants us to empty ourselves so that God can fill us...

I usually avoid discussion with sabbatrarian cultists because they refuse to read. Worse, they have their own history. Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:1,19- the Gospel writers purposely reveal Jesus’ resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. This is because Sunday had now become the most...
