In other words, you can't be taught the proper meaning of an English word. Do I have to tiptoe around your prejudices?

So you are an expert on Paleo-Christian art? You take the surrounding art into consideration? Just saying.

She said she is not gung ho on organized religion. My reply was a question, not an accusation, and there is nothing wrong with my reply. Good for them. Back in the 60's TV preachers would use the word "religion" as if it were a dirty word. They did that to draw Christians out of their...

000000 The Church does not create problems, problems are created by those who fail to live by the Church's teachings. That includes, at times, church leaders. Regardless, truth is absolute, it is not based on relativity. God founded a Church with clear instructions: To teach about Jesus and...

This is in reaction to the absurd thread "Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement". That thread is nothing more than a direct attack on the historic Church. The only evidence for "disatrous" is not evidence at all. Cheap shots is not evidence. Richard Sipe EXPOSED : Ex-priest has...

So you prefer disorganized religion?

“THE RITE” EARNS RESPECT Unfailingly, whenever there is a TV show or movie that touches on subjects like Transubstantiation—the transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus—the Virgin birth, apparitions, the stigmata, even confession, it is the subject of ridicule and...

Art is an expression, I never claimed "absolute truth" which can only be revealed by God. You have an inferiority complex because none of the Christian artists of the first 3 centuries were Protestants. In fact, art of any kind was strictly forbidden after John Calvin, and remains so to this...

It's not an article but a network of converts to Catholicism helping clergy and laity of other Christian traditions discover the truth and beauty of the Catholic Church. It is not a threat to anyone's faith. The Coming Home Network - Discover Catholicism, Come Home

H. Richard:

Why don't you click on "reply" instead of making things up. If you can't be bothered reading post #32, and accuse me of things I never said, then I can't be bothered arguing with an idiot.

You make a non sequitur fallacy. Either Annias layed his hands on Paul, and told him to get baptized or he didn't. That means Annias told Paul what to do. It's not rocket science and its not systematic theology. You are re-writing scripture to force fit it into your opinions. You have a...

What "adding works" are you talking about? The Church condemned "works salvation, or works righteousness" 1000 years before the first Protestant was born. It's a heresy called Pelagianism. Get it? A heresy. But the myth won't go away. James was killed. Acts 12:2 The Bible is the infallible...

The Bible is a Catholic book, and no matter how much Protestants study it and proclaim it as peculiarly their own, they must acknowledge their undeniable debt to the Catholic Church for having decided the Canon, and for preserving the Bible intact for 1400 years. How could the Catholic Church be...

You could give more points if you stopped denying half of Acts 15. Your understanding of church hierarchy is totally muddled. It's not a corporation, but follows the Davidic Kingdom. Paul is subject to the Church, that does not mean he is of low rank, the church doesn't operate like General...

Acts 15:2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem about this question. Who was in authority to appoint Paul and Barnabas? Nobody according to you. This denial is a...

Paul answered to both Christ and the Church. You make another false Calvinoid dichotomy. The Church is Christ on earth, warts and all. You are completely ignorant of ecclesiology. i retracted ONE statement, and no more. You misrepresent me. You deny the structure of all councils, and think...

I am to believe Paul went to Antioch empty handed, with no letter? You are not rational. James in charge of the council is nothing more than anti-Catholic 16th century rhetoric, and modern Protestants gobble it up because it fits their anti-authority agenda. You also ignore my posts and my...

Peter, along with Paul and James, was one of three important leaders of the council, but there is nothing in the text that denies Peter was the highest leader. The point of having a council is to allow multiple individuals to speak and discuss matters before a resolution is achieved. This in no...
