Jesus first gave The Keys to Peter as an individual, LATER gave The Keys to the apostles as a group. A clear indicator of pre-eminence. Short answer: The Pope alone is NOT infallible. If Satan himself were to somehow become pope, he would do a lot of damage, but he could not teach error because...

We don't need to. Jesus promised He would be with us always. You have to prove "us" excludes Peter and his successors. You offer a challenge that has been hotly debated for 500 years??? In 25 words or less? You will have to prove exactly when the Bishop of Rome deviated from the One Doctrine...

I think Jesus wrote the sins of those holding rocks. Maybe that's why He said, "...let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

So has the rate of abuses in the Catholic Church. It's dropped to 0%. That's "tanked" but don't count on the media to tell the facts. Your "church", if you call it that, can't match that record. So stop bellyaching about an outdated problem that you can't fix in your own communities. It's easy...

Ambrose, a late 4th-century bishop of Mediolanum, dominated the life and development of the city during his episcopate. He was appointed bishop of on 7 December 374. One of the four original doctors of the Church, he is patron saint of Milan. (wiki) Please cite from any non-Catholic historian...

No, that's not what "common good" means. First, the right to own private property is partially expressed in the few paragraphs you quoted above. Second, a person starving to death has the right to receive goods, the Church has no right to steal it, that's your perverted conclusion. It's...

The Greek Orthodox Patriarch is the successor of St. Andrew the Apostle, correct?

Marymog said no such thing. Use the quote feature and stop making things up. I have no problem with your original quote, but at no time anywhere can a church be established without a bishop. It doesn't matter if there is evidence of Christians existing in far off places; if they had no bishop...

I am aware of the injustices, persecutions and war crimes committed against the JW in WW2. Over 10,000 were killed in the Holocaust, and that's just the Germans. There were 3,000,000 Polish Catholics killed in the holocaust, so Christians of any sort in the death camps were united in blood. They...

Beyond CCC830 are qualifiers. "There is no salvation apart from Christ and his One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church." is constantly misrepresented by non-Catholics. The Catholic Church teaches infallibly, “extra ecclesiam nulla salus,” or, “outside the Church there is no salvation.” But as...

How is that the pope's fault? We are not the only church with truths and we don't tell anybody their salvation is in peril. We don't make those judgements. That's God's business. Wounds to unity 817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain...

Whatever "power" the pope has is restricted only to Catholics. It's anti-Catholics that give the pope more power than he actually has. This is evident in the silly conspiracy theories of a one world religion or government led by the pope. For that to happen, the pope would have to undercut the...

What an absurd conclusion. Do you have an example of the church robbing from people? Billions of $ sent to the third world doesn't come from stolen money.

Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America. And as Philip Jenkins (not a Catholic) 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 notice, or care. A statement that is seen as racist, misogynistic...

That happened throughout history. They were called heretics. Councils were held to develop and clarify to settle such controversies. "supreme authority" is only supreme for Catholics and it's limited to matters of faith and morals. It's not something to be feared. You depict the pope as like the...

The Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church broke communion during the East–West Schism of 1054. While an informal divide between the East and West existed prior to the split, these were internal disputes, under the umbrella of the recognised “one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church” of the...

"oppose the church was to sign your own death warrant? " Primary and/or secondary documentation please. Or stop lying. Catholics were the first Christians. If one is predisposed to hostility, they can find fault with anything. Pagans were using the catacombs as a cemetery before Christians...

ROMAN CATACOMBS The catacombs are underground tunnels that were forged out of soft rock. They are long, marrow winding corridors. The dead were buried in the walls on either side. From time to time, going through these corridors, one comes to a wider space like a room. In these rooms the...

We are not the ones rejecting authoritive proclamations of the Council of Niceae in 325 A.D. It was the first council on the nature of God. The gospel of salvation is proclaimed at every Mass around the world, if you bother to look. Summarize your gospel of salvation and I'll show where it is...

No. As I said, the 19th century saw a rise in the pagan influence fallacy with false books and the founding of made-in-America Bible groups such as the JW's and the SDA and their offshoots. In a sense, they are both Hislopites, and this forum is flooded with it. That's your opinion. The first...
