No. They can ordain bishops, they cannot make more apostles. By What Authority - A Challenge to Protestant Pastors

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — It makes no sense to lament the problems of hunger and forced migration if one is unwilling to address their root causes, which are conflict and climate change, Pope Francis said. “War and climate change lead to hunger; therefore, let’s avoid presenting it as if it were an...

I think you are confusing human frailty with doctrinal purity. We hold that the Church CANNOT teach error on matters of faith and morals. Never has and never will. Scripture is loaded with indications that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the Church to teach errors. That has nothing to do with sinful church...

Yes. For example, the first 40 popes were killed by pagan Romans. Peter was the only Apostle on that list. After his death, his successors, who were bishops, held Peter's chair (a metaphor for seat of authority). Even though the pagan Romans killed so many, they could not kill the Chair of...

I already gave you a definition in post #524. I never said there was more than 12 apostles. There were no added apostles. Immediate successors are called bishops, not apostles. Linus succeeded Peter, Linus was not an apostle. He was a bishop. There is a list of immediate bishops who succeeded...

The practice of excommunication arose in the early Church. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul castigated that community for tolerating the practice of incest– “a man living with his father’s wife” (I Corinthians 5:1). He admonished the Corinthians for not removing the offender...

We have a way of dealing with liars, it's called excommunication. How does your man made system deal with lying pastors? Oh, I forgot, you have no pastors. You have God on speed dial.

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Ku Klux Klan hates Catholics. Founded by disbanded Confederate soldiers on Christmas Eve, 1865, the secret fraternal society quickly transformed into a paramilitary group bent on fighting Reconstruction and the advancement of African-Americans, Jews and...

There were no "wrong apostles" except false claimants. Do you think the rest of the apostles were too stupid to know who the liars were? Early church heretics include Arius, Nestorius, Apollinarius, Eutyches; all challenging the identity of Christ (and the Trinity) using "Bible alone"...

I answered your question. You assumed "apostolic" meant only the pope. I said: "Or prove all things against Apostolic Teaching? What do think I mean by that?" You said: Your premise is false. Apostolic means all the apostles, not just one. Check a dictionary. It's not me that is dodging. The...

Some anti-Catholics claim the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18. Dave Hunt, in his 1994 book, A Woman Rides the Beast, presents nine arguments to try to prove this. His claims are a useful summary of those commonly used by Fundamentalists, and an examination of them...

Pope says space station crew like a ‘tiny U.N.’ with peaceful diversity VATICAN CITY (CNS) — One perk that comes with floating aboard the International Space Station is NASA arranges for occasional calls with celebrities to keep the astronauts’ spirits high during their monthslong flights...

Apostolic means all the Apostles. I don't know when the practice of drawing straws ceased, probably as the Infant Church matured. Just because it's biblical does not make it doctrinal, and the Church has the authority to change non-doctrinal practices. It's hardly practical for 300 bishops to...

Spot the fake verse! 1) 1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" 2) 1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Prove all false doctrines; hold fast that which is good" You are asserting (2) when you should assert (1) Apostolic Teaching is the sum of oral and written teaching of all the...

Oh, I get it. You are your own authority. Prove all things, sure, but prove all things against a Bible that wouldn't exist for 350 years? Or prove all things with just 1 Thessalonians? Or prove all things against Apostolic Teaching? What do think I mean by that?

The New Anti-Catholicism: The Last Acceptable Prejudice Paperback – Sep 10 2004 Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America. And as Philip Jenkins argues in The New Anti-Catholicism, this virulent strain of hatred--once thought dead--is alive and well in our nation, but few people seem to...

ANTI-CATHOLICISM ON THE INTERNET The Internet is a great place of collaboration, where people from all walks of life, social status, or country, can come together to speak on various issues. The Internet connects the world like never before, and a lot of information is available. But not all...

Funny how you talk so much about tribulation while you inflict it. I already exposed your lies about the Pope baptizing aliens with the full context of what he really said, and here you are repeating the same lies. What you claim about the Church and Islam are also lies, but exposing your lies...

If you are a Jehovah's Witness, your cult started in 1870. If you are a Seventh Day Adventist, your cult started in 1863. Both deny the Trinity and both made-in-America. If you say Jesus was created, this heresy called Arianism was refuted at the Council of Nicae in 325. If you say Jesus was 2...

I am not promoting anything, tabletalk. I am bring awareness that anti-Catholicism is part of our culture. A few Pope-bashing fundamentalist fanatics all wear the same T shirt as the rest of our culture persecuting Catholics. Yet they talk so much about pre-tribulation. I haven't had time to...
