The long and sordid history of Protestantism was worse Protestantism: Historic Persecution & Intolerance (Index Page) as documented by Protestant and secular historians. The Church has cleaned up the sex abuse problem, while Protestantism is too impotent to change, due to its lack of centrality...

You must be talking about your paranoid funnymentalist teachers.

That doesn't answer the question in post #47.

Binding and loosing is a rabbinical term. It can still be found on Jewish sites. It basically means "to permit and to remit". Sometimes the 613 laws they had to follow would conflict so they would turn to the senior rabbis (the Seat of Moses) to sort it out. But their authority was for the...

#2: "Babylon"—What’s in a Name? Hunt notes that the Whore will be a city "known as Babylon." This is based on Revelation 17:5, which says that her name is "Babylon the Great." The phrase "Babylon the great" (Greek: Babulon a megala) occurs five times in Revelation (14:8, 16:19, 17:5, 18:2...

I wholeheartedly agree. Why is it that when the Pope says essentially the same thing, he is ridiculed by radical Protestants?

Yes, blame everything on Catholics, who didn't want an abortionist in the presidency. I'm, not even an American and care not for politics, but maybe Trump is the lesser of 2 evils. I suppose you think an abortionist like Hilary supports the Pope's values. Give your head a shake. HILLARY TO...

Maybe you should quote scripture over those dead children, or the millions of starving refugees. The Pope is quoting the word of God in an indirect way, and seeking real, concrete ways of solving the world' problems. You are just too prejudiced to see it. Your blind to the word of God when it...

It's because of your up-bringing, the media, our whole culture is geared to despising the Catholic Church. Why? Because we help people? Not all of them. Watch for the ones with tribulation obsessions and then they inflict tribulation on Catholics. The insults are endless and baseless. So are...

Definition of bigot : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions (The Pope is the anti-Christ. the Catholic Church is the whore of babylon) and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with...

I misread your post. I apologize. You make many goods points.

Good. Don't let the media give you instructions on the Catholic Church like the anti-Catholic bigots in here.

No apostle can "transform themselves". That is why they are false. That is what I have been trying to tell you. The Apostles, then, did not take their office and authority upon themselves, but were appointed by a Superior Authority, Jesus Christ. The Scriptures attest to the unique...

You made a false assertion and now you refuse to name the appointed apostles who were liars, so you give this non-answer. Post 606 does not answer the question. Did the original 12 apostles have successors or not? Scripture and history says they did. I answer all your posts, but I am quickly...

Apostle means "one who is sent". I am not interested in pharisaical legalisms. Really? Which appointed apostles were found to be liars? I was wrong. I meant the 12 Apostles were apostles in a lesser sense than Jesus. Did the original 12 apostles have successors or not? Scripture and history...

You are basing an opinion based on blessedhope's lies. Here is a good article expressing what the Church really teaches regarding Muslims, not the deceiving media hype that blessedhope loves so much. The Catechism on Islam by James Akin ::

That's true. Apostle means "one who is sent." Jesus was sent directly by God. So He can be an Apostle in a lesser sense. Jesus "sent" the apostles "with all authority", which includes the authority to ordain bishops, convene councils and discern the canon of scripture.

The Apostles cannot ordain or appoint another High Priest. You are creating a false dichotomy.

Laying on of hands is part of every ordination. All the bishops line up and take turns ordaining priests. Since the Pope is already a bishop, it may be redundant to have him re-cycled with unnecessary laying on of hands. I don't really know. Cameras are discouraged during sacred events...
