    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    And now I'm a little worried about you brother, This sounds like 'if you are the son of God, come down from that cross'... If you have Christ's authority, only call evil good, and we will acknowledge you... (God forbid!)

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Indeed. But this is not unexpected. The Church has always known that she would undergo a final rejection and persecution by the world. From the CCC : 677 The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Then you misunderstood what I wrote. Just as 'the powers of darkness' did not triumph over Christ when they nailed Him to the cross, Neither can they triumph over His Church, For after crucifixtion.. Glory! Pax!

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Sounds to me like his unorthodox statements caused an uproar which led to affirmation that what the Church teaches is correct and not his personal musings on Satan... But yes something is afoot, as Satan seeks to destroy the Church... The attempt will fail. And when the Church continues to...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Haha. Pick one: Definition of CONTRADICTION We don't need another 100 years, the world now calls many things good that are contrary to Christian civilization. Here's just a few: abortion, homosexual acts, pornography, divorce and remarrige, the rule of men with no regard to the rule of God...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    The Truth can develop in clarity, in depth, in understanding.... It cannot contradict itself. The world has chosen to celebrate evil as good, the Church cannot do so... Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    Did you miss the 'ruled with an iron rod' part? But yes, God is ever in control, and uses all things for the good of those who love Him. Even this: Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain? Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Thats on their heads. They have no excuse of ignorance. And any sheep lost on account of them will be on their heads as well.. Why do you continue to point out that there are enemies within as well as without the Church, as if this is something new? The Holy Spirit will sort it out as...

    Why do we need priests?

    Dear brakelight, The people of Rome asked their bishop to rule (civily) over them when the Empires authority melted away... It was the kings of Europe, who freely submitted themselves to Christ through His Church...and they prospered! And Christendom grew and took the gospel to the ends of...

    Why do we need priests?

    Those who fall away are these: They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. You do not know me very well if you think that of me. God can work anywhere He...

    Hello Scott, Indeed. You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace be with you!

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Men having sex with men or women with women for any reason is abominable... To suggest that they can have some kind of 'marriage' is an insult to the image of the union of Christ and His Church. The teaching of the Church that homosexual behavioir is intrinsicley disordered will not (can not!)...

    Why do we need priests?

    Ah yes, i presume the destruction of the temple was surprising to many, as were Jesus words that care of the vineyard would be turned over to others... Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    My confidence that HE will not reject HIS church and my confidence that HE will not allow HIS church to fall away from HIM are placed in HIS words 'the gates of hell will not prevail against it' I know Jesus speaks Truth and thus I believe! Not at all. I am relying on the Holy Spirit to...

    Why do we need priests?

    Jesus' paschal mystery fulfills all the sacrifices of the old covenant, not just passover.. What did you find surprising?

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    ?? Are you saying the churches and governments have been right to celebrate homosexual behaviour? I hope I have been reading that wrong... This is of course one reason why the world will justify confiscating Church property and persecuting its members... The lgbqxte68dj (we are legion?)...

    Why do we need priests?

    First thing that to came to mind was the Good Friday fast in honour of the atonement given for us on the Cross. What do you think about it? Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    GG, You know thats not correct... We depend on God to guide, guard, teach, correct and preserve HIS Church. And HE never contradicts Himself... Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Forver and ever! Peace be with you!

    Freemasonry

    Are you familiar with the terms latria and dulia? One refers to the honour properly given to men, the other the adoration due to God alone. This discussion will derail this thread, so send me a pm or start another if you wish to discuss it further. Peace!

    Freemasonry

    Hello 4Jesus, We do not pray to statues. We offer latria, that is the worship properly due to God, to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit alone. Oh and Joseph is certainly not overlooked. In fact he was instrumental in the walk of Br. Andre: Saint Brother André - L'Oratoire Saint-Joseph du...
