The Church condemns it too. It's been posted several times, right from the catechism. Your blind prejudice prevents you from seeing it no matter how many times it's posted. You are re-inventing the wheel with this absurd argument.

In a recent Times Literary Supplement, David Motadel reviewed James Noyes’s 2013 book The Politics of Iconoclasm: Religion, Violence and the Culture of Image-Breaking in Christianity and Islam. The review, and the associated scholarship, raises important questions about how we conceive of the...

His false Calvinistic iconoclasm has been drilled into his brain. It is right to warn people against the sin of idolatry when they are committing it. But calling Catholics idolaters because they have images of Christ and the saints is based on misunderstanding or ignorance of what the Bible...

King Henry VIII made himself head of the Church of England by an act of parliament. Never before in history, not even in Lutheran Germany, had the state engineered such a total confiscation of spiritual authority to its own advantage.(Daniel-Rops, 242-243) ...it get's worse... In 1548...

Vatican City, Jun 26, 2017 / 07:03 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On Monday the Vatican issued a statement on the situation of the Chinese Bishop Peter Shao Zhumin of Wenzhou, who has not been returned since being forcibly removed from his diocese by the Chinese state May 18. “The Holy See is observing...

The CC has all kinds of ups and downs, but she has never taught an error. We have God's promise on that. The Bible repeatedly teaches the Church is infallible and indefectable. So for the Church to "go astray" is IMPOSSIBLE according to the Bible. The corrupt pope argument backfires, because it...

If you claim not to be part of any sect or cult, then you need to be more discerning of your sources. Your link quotes Tom Harper, a well known liberal, and it is a Jehovah's Witness page. Phony quotes The reference to the Catholic Encyclopedia is not useful; there are many works by that name...

Within 60 years following the Protestant Revolt, the confusion that followed is evidenced in Christopher Rasperger’s work published in 1577, 200 Interpretations of the Words: This is My Body. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that some contemporary Protestant apologists strive to explain...

Nonsense. That's what your cult teaches you and they are wrong. The doctrine of the Trinity is encapsulated in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."...

150 Reasons Why I Became (and Remain) a Catholic 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 Tradition), and possesses the...

Please provide scholarly evidence (i.e. a Ph.D. in history) that supports these 2 lies. That is an opinion, and nothing more. That's not fair. We admit to the existence of bad popes, all 2.5% of them. Can you admit to the amoral and hypocritical reformers? You are forced to re-write history...

I said a lot that you ignored. You have a private definition of "idol" that isn't biblical, and I don't need to get in the last word after your nonsense has been repeatedly refuted.

What can't be discussed? The Eucharist? In post #155 you imply your private commission to correct Catholics with James 5. In post #157 you imply Catholics are walking in error. In post #159 you make this false assumption that Catholics don't want to talk about whatever. You don't want to discuss...

1000 literal years from 325 takes you to 1350, which makes no sense. You have no scholarly evidence to support this anti-Catholic myth, "the church dominated kings and kingdoms for that period of time" is an exaggeration. Kings and Popes often quarreled. Roman Emperor Henry IV fought with Pope...

Ambassadors indeed, which is not a ruling dominating dictatorship. That's a preconception and such a structure would never last. I'd be glad to discuss ecclesiology but this isn't the right thread. I have found no scholarly evidence that Matthew 28:19 is a forgery. Lots of assertions from...

The doctrine of the Trinity is encapsulated in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not...

The link is from The United Church of God was founded in 1998, so it's novel teachings can be traced back 19 years, not 2000 years. It's an offshoot of Herbert W. Armstrong's World Wide Church of God. It's a pop-up cult. I think you have that backwards. Sabellianism was an early Trinitarian...

By development of doctrine, we mean that some divinely revealed truth has become more deeply understood and more clearly perceived than it had been before. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whom Christ promised to send to teach us, the Church comes to see more deeply what she had always...

Good point. It's mostly the bizarre post-enlightenment cults that deny the Trinity. (JW's, SDA's Christadelphians, etc.) Their rabid anti-Catholicism depends on false histories and truckloads of nonsense. In seeking to understand the traditional family, Christians should keep in mind that not...
