    The Papacy and the USA

    You are following the man made traditions of men. For the Protestant Reformers to rationalize breaking away from what was universally acknowledged in their culture as the Christian Church, it was necessary for them to deny the Catholic Church’s authority. To maintain their positions, they were...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    James was the first bishop of Jerusalem, I don't dispute that. James' jurisdiction as bishop of Jerusalem was confined to the area of Jerusalem. There is not a shred of biblical or historical evidence that James governed the universal Church. His ruling at the Council of Jerusalem was a local...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Mark/Peter/pope do not interpret scripture independently from the episcopate. There are no strict absolute interpretations, that would freeze dry the Living Written Word. Here are guidelines for exegesis, they are not strict commands or rules. 12. However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture...

    The Papacy and the USA

    Not everyone is dumb enough to buy your fear based bible twisting anti-Catholic hate speech. I was expecting some gnat straining from somebody on what the Pope actually said. I submit you are afraid of the truths he teaches. How the Pope used the environment to preach to the UN Leave...

    How big do you think the Vatican State is??? Blessedhope, the Pope is not The Boogieman, and your demands or expectations on the Vatican State have no basis in reality. Pope opens the Vatican to refugees, calls on Europe’s churches to follow suit Vatican welcomes its first family of...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    These unchanging truths, however, must be applied in real life, and real life is complex, varied and constantly changing. To be real, Christianity must be adapted to different cultures, different ages and different circumstances. The truths cannot be changed, but their application must be.

    The Papacy and the USA

    "The most significant thing about the pope’s first day in the United States was his unscheduled visit to the Little Sisters of the Poor. By embracing this order of nuns, Pope Francis laid down an unmistakable marker: He rejects efforts by the Obama administration to force Catholic nonprofit...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    ========================= It's interesting that you make dogmatic declarations on a religion you despise and comments on a 500 year old encyclical that you know nothing about due to your self acclaimed authority. This particular canon cannot be taken in isolation from the context. It doesn't...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Why a Pope is Necessary for Christianity to Make Sense Here’s the problem: if Christianity teaches unchanging truth how does it adapt to different cultures and different ages? If it does not adapt it ceases to be relevant. If it does nothing but adapt it alters the truths that cannot be...

    POPE'S OFFICE IN THE BIBLE

    Isa. 22: 19 Shebna is described as having an "office" and a "station." An office, in order for it to be an office, has successors. In order for an earthly kingdom to last, a succession of representatives is required. This was the case in the Old Covenant kingdom, and it is the case in the New...

    The video of the OP is not a church, not an institution. It's produced by some guy who calls himself EvenAtTheDoors that can make impressive looking videos. He has a whopping google following of 39. There is no such thing as Pope Francis I. There has to be a Pope Francis II, then then Pope...
