Give me the actual QUOTE from Pope Francis - and the SOURCE for that quote. If you can't - then you're just blowing hot wind . . . As for your last comment above in RED - I DO follow Christ BECAUSE I follow His Church, which is: - The Pillar and foudation of Truth (1 Tim. 3:15). -The FULLNESS...

Once again - that's NOT what the Bible says. As a metter of fact - Paul makes the following statement in defense of his priestly function: Rom 15:14-16 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one...

This is a gigantic contridiction. To "intercede" is to "go between", Einstein. Now - reconcile you rlast acoment above in RED with Rev. 5:8 . . . WRONG. That's like saying that ice cream and cake are "one and the same" thing because they both fall into the "dessert" category. Evangelizing...

And more of YOUR complete inability to refute them . . .

Correct. The Authority over Christ's Church doesn't cmoe from Rome or any other place. It comes from Christ, who transferred that Authority onto Peter and his succeccors (Matt. 16:18-19, John 21:15-19).

He's not "worshipped" in the way YOU contend. If you want to go by the SECONDARY definition, wich simply means respected and honored - THEN you can say he is "worshipped" - just like a parent or teacher or a sports hero mught be "worsipped". Consider yourewlf linguistically-spanked . . .

Still stumped, I see . . .

WRONG. You cannot reconcile 2 Cor. 5:18-20 and 2 Cor. 2:10, with this line of reasoning. As I pointed out - Paul differentiates the clergy/laity distinction in these verses as it pertains to the Ministry of Recomciliation. This directly correlates with John 20:21-23, where Jesus breathes on...

Are you so ignorant that you don't understand thatwords have MORE than ONE meaning? As I have shown repeatedly - "PRAY" has more than one meaning. The definition of "Worship" above is correct - and in THIS sense, we are ALL guilty of "worshipping" other humans. - Jacob bowed to the ground...

WRONG. The very definition of a priest is "mediator". Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary priest noun \ ˈprēst \ Definition of priest : one authorized to perform the sacred rites of a religion especially as a MEDIATORY agent between humans and God Jesus is our ONE mediator in the sense...

Listen - if you're going to horn in on a conversation - then get your facts straight. He was implying that thee verses were about "evangelization" and NOT the Ministry of Reconciliation. The text is explicit here that it is talking about the forgiveness of sins through the Ministry of...

Jesus is ALSO with us in our neighbor (Matt. 25:31-46). AND, He's with us in His mystical Body, the Church (Col 1:18) - which is the FULLNESS of Him (Eph. 1:22-23). Not exactly sure why YOU would consider this as "spouting fallacies" . . .

Don't blame ME for that guy. I voted for Trump. I thought that was ONE place you and I agreed on.

The hypocrisy that you can spread your lies faster than a virus - and STILL have the nerve to sanctimoniously condemn others. Just like a Pharisee . . .

WRONG. 2 Cor. 5:18-20: “And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given US the ministry of reconciliation, namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to US the message of...

WRONG. Peter wouldn't allow somebody to worshp him Showng respect and affection is not "worship" - ANY MORE than showing it to your wife pr parents would be sonsidered "worship". Face it - you LOST this argument several posts back and can't seem to let go . . .

Oh, REALLY?? A preist is a MEDIATOR. YOU and the other anti-Catholics here have argued that Jesus is our ONLY mediator so there is NO NEED for priests. Soooo - what happened to that argument, hmmmmm? Because the text shows that the main trust of Paul's message here was about recolciliation...

ONE more time . . . In the Old Testament, there were three levels of Priests: - Aaron, the High Priest -The Levitical/Miisterial Priesthood -The rest of the people were a general priesthood of believers. In the New Testament, there are also three levels of Priests: -Jesus, our High Priest (1...

And so is this forum . . . Yes, Jesus is ALWAYS with His Church - and if you knew about the Parable of the Sheep and Goats (Matt. 25:31-46) - you'd see just HOW. Also, you forget that His Church is His BODY (Col 1:18) - and it is the FULLNESS of Him (Eph. 1:22-23).

Yes, your hypocrisy is what makes you pharisaical.
