    The Inquisitions

    I remember watching Buddhist monks on tv setting themselves on fire. They were pagans protesting against the government. Brakenite is so sick he wants you to believe they were Catholics. Lâm Văn Túc), was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road...

    The Inquisitions

    No, the Jesuits didn’t kill Abraham Lincoln. Brakelite never gives a shred of scholarly evidence for his Seventh Day Adventist rants. (or similar dubious sources)

    The Inquisitions

    There have actually been several different inquisitions. The first was established in 1184 in southern France as a response to the Catharist heresy. This was known as the Medieval Inquisition, and it was phased out as Catharism disappeared. Quite separate was the Roman Inquisition, begun in...

    The Inquisitions

    You got caught in a LIE (again) and you reply with a rant. You stack up the usual protty revisionist lies that take 5 pages to refute. You have no clue what infallibility means. Look it up and get back to me.

    The Inquisitions

    The claim that I've often heard made by anti-Catholics is that "Catholics cannot interpret Scripture for themselves, but must submit to the Catholic magisterium." The claim is that the Catholic faithful cannot, are not able, or especially are not allowed to read and interpret the Bible for...

    The Inquisitions

    More false anti-Catholic hate propaganda. In typical fundie fashion, you give no context, erecting straw man fallacies. On the top of that list of quoted documents was the Syllabus of Errors. You would be hard-pressed to name a document from Church history quoted with more frequency than the...

    The Inquisitions

    To understand the Syllabus requires understanding the time in which it was issued, (something fundie cults have never done) as well as the context of the various principles condemned.(something fundie cults have never done) Much of the document is frighteningly prophetic. The Syllabus was a grim...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    That's true, but the Bible is not to be used in isolation from Tradition and the Magisterium. Then it becomes a weapon against the Church and the Bible never does that. You do it because it is a man made tradition. You anti-Catholics need to grow up. If it were not for the thousands of...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    Some Protestants will tell you that the only acceptable version of the Bible is the King James. This position is known as King James-onlyism. Its advocates often make jokes such as, "If the King James Version was good enough for the apostle Paul, it is good enough for me," or, "My King James...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    30. The lack of a definitive teaching authority in Protestant (as with the Catholic magisterium) makes many individual Protestants think that they have a direct line to God, notwithstanding all of Christian Tradition and the history of biblical exegesis (a “Bible, Holy Spirit and me” mentality)...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    If I believed half the lies you do about Catholicism, I would quit right now. 1. Best One-Sentence Summary: I am convinced that the Catholic Church conforms much more closely to all of the biblical data, offers the only coherent view of the history of Christianity (i.e., Christian, apostolic...

    "The WAY" = Christianity?

    Hello APAK. You didn't offend me at all; it might look that way. I'm sure we can learn from each other.

    "The WAY" = Christianity?

    Since Scripture clearly says in Matthew 2:23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.(ESV) This is a prophecy. How do we know this? Because it was spoken by the prophets, not WRITTEN by the...

    "The WAY" = Christianity?

    You are as angry as you are confused. You haven't a clue what infallibility means, so until you do, you shouldn't comment on it, you look silly. The Bible, historically speaking, came from the Catholic Church. We don't own it's truths. Get over yourself. That's too stupid to reply to. You have...

    "The WAY" = Christianity?

    Isa. 35:8, 54:13-17 – this prophecy refers to the Church as the Holy Way where sons will be taught by God and they will not err. The Church has been given the gift of infallibility when teaching about faith and morals, where her sons are taught directly by God and will not err. This gift of...

    The Inquisitions

    That's true. The site would no longer accept my password no matter what I did. I had to start over. That is not dishonest. Extreme bias the way the "facts" are presented IS DISHONEST. Including a highly selective list of 2 recources, one of them an 18th century bigot who had no access to...

    The Inquisitions

    The links I gave are verified by Protestant, Catholic and secular historians, there is no room for doctrinal bias. No one is accusing anyone of lying.

    "When did the RCC begin?"

    Again, ByGrace, it really doesn't matter to most Catholics. But if someone wants to charge us with re-writing history, I say produce the evidence where we were first called "Roman" Catholics and it wasn't an insult. Then they run away...
