"...12. However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, (6) the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest...

Christ's mother is his sister? Anyone with 2 functioning neurons can see you have perverted the scriptures. Is your mother your sister? What a joke. With regard to John 19:26-27), we must first note that the composition of St. John's Gospel is quite unusual. It is told in the first person as...

Dialogue with Protestants on the Irrational, Unbiblical Demand for Multiple, Explicit Scriptural Prooftexts for Every Doctrine This discussion was condensed from a combox on a friend's Facebook page. Guy's words will be in blue; Brian's in green. Guy Duininck I can't support the view that...

Any court of law would not accept the testimony as reliable from a sex pervert or a mentally unbalanced person, but you do. Yes. Do you know what it means? No, it isn't. It's the words of scripture, the foreshadowing of the Ark of the Covenant, the Judaic understanding of the mother's role of...

(CNSNews.com) – Cardinal Francis George, head of the Catholic archdiocese of Chicago, said the levers of power in government, education, entertainment, and media are enforcing a “public creed,” a “fake church” that requires all citizens to approve of gay marriage and related sexual anomalies or...

Your first source, he was thrown out of every religious institution he attended for perverse behavior, and wrote the worst imaginable anti-Catholic rhetoric to appease fundamentalist fanatics hoping for acceptance. Your second source was a paranoid schizophrenic in a nightmarish world with...

God saw it fitting for Mary for the reasons you listed. "grace beyond measure" doesn't leave room for sin, original or actual. God didn't have to make Mary sinless for his plan of salvation, but He chose to. Her role is not incidental, but required. The Catholic argument hinges upon the...

Jesus is God incarnate, like us in everything but sin. No one disputes this fact. Mary was not incarnated, she was conceived from ordinary parents. What does scripture say about original sin? Why do most churches teach it but some do not? Is Mary foreshadowed in the Old Testament? Is every...

[/FONT] Charles Chiniquy (1809-99) is a favorite source for anti-Catholics – throughout the 19th and 20th centuries – for his spiteful and entirely unfounded accusations against the Church. The basis for his anti-Catholicism stemmed from his own removal from Catholic ministry for...

Silent? John 1:1 - John writes, "the Word was God." This is clear evidence of Jesus Christ's divinity. (Note: in the Jehovah's bible, the passage was changed to "Word was a god." This is not only an embarrassing attempt to deny the obvious divinity of Christ, but it also violates the first...

I thought I'd check in to see if you wrote anything truthful about the Catholic Church.

No, I said it was dumb for Paul to hand deliver scriptures when he preferred to be there in person, and I gave examples. 1 Thess. 3:10 - Paul wants to see the Thessalonians face to face and supply what is lacking. His letter is not enough. 2 Thess. 2:15 - the fullness of the Gospel is the...

1 Tim. 3:14 ...continue in what you have learned..." That is a brief definition of Tradition. Since you have your own private definition, you can't accept the biblical one. "...and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it." That is a brief definition of Magisterium. To the Jews...

The rationale for devotion to Mary, and devotion means honoring her and seeking her intercession, is simple and forceful. Mary's primary role in the divine scheme of salvation revealed in Scripture is to lead all her children to her Son. The Genesis 3:15 prophecy of the Woman and her seed in...

Most of the Inquisition you have heard or read about is myth. I trust the analysis of a professor of history who specializes in the medieval era, not public opinion that has been hammered with revisionism and protty cult propaganda...

Yes Barrd, but we are all catholic in what truths are universally accepted, it's more than what most people think.

That does not detract from the fact of Christian persecution in Syria and Iraq. The banner is not intended to make me righteous, it's intended to show the similarities between protty cult anti-Catholic bigotry and the metaphorical "beheadings" that occur in forums in the here and now, not events...

There are several verses but that one is exceptionally good. A man is elected by bishops with a special ecclesiastical office who pray to the Holy Spirit that the one He wants gets elected. Nobody is an authority beyond scripture. The Church is a servant of the Scriptures. It's an instrument of...
