"Rabbit holes"?? You think that explaining to you that the selling of Indulgences was an historically-verifiable abuse is leading you down a "rabbit hole"?? What color is the sky in YOUR world?? That's called "doing your homework" - something that is as foreign to YOU as history AND Scripture...

REALLY? Is the "proof in the pudding" for PROTESTANTS?? Protestants can no longer dismiss abuse as a ‘Catholic problem’ Child Sex Abuse More Prevalent Among Protestants Than Among Catholics There Is More Sexual Abuse In The Protestant Churches Than Catholic Southern Baptists Apologize For Sex...

WRONG. As I have repeatedly stated - I already laid out the Scriptural and Historical proof for Apostolic Succession. The fact that you ignore that evidence is YOUR problem - and YOU have to answer to God for it, NOT me . . . SCRIPTURE Acts 1:20 "Let another take his OFFICE...

HUH?? First of all - Indulgences are a matter of DICIPLINE - not Dogma, so get your facts straight. Secondly - WHO said that the Church doesn't teach about Indulgences?? I showed you that the Church never sanctioned the SELLING of Indulgences. BIG difference. You need to pay attention and...

Me. It.

No "non sequiturs" here. YOU keep making the asinine claim that the ENTIRE Catholic Church is guilty of the sins of a few of its wicked members. I simply corrected you by showing you that there ENTIRE Church is not ANY MORE responsible for those individuals than any Protestant sect is for the...

My post wasn't based in ANY sort of "Theory" or "circumstantial" evidence. I laid out the Scriptural and Historical corrections for YOUR blunders. YOUR problem is that you don't do your homework - then you lash out when you are humiliated by educated Catholics who actually KNOW their Scripture...

Not only is there NO evidence of that - the abuse that was the selling of Indulgences wasn't happening everywhere. As I stated before - it was a localized abuse. That's why German priest Luther was the one who had a problem with it - and rightly so - because it was happening in HIS backyard...

Funny how you keep blathering on about "deceitfulness" - yet YOUR posts are the MOST deceitful. Of course - you would need to have an IQ of 12 to believe any of your manure because anybody with even a rudimentary grasp of Scripture and history could blow ALL of your arguments out of the water -...

Spoke like a guy who keeps getting caught.

That's just it, Einstein - that was NO mandate to "sell" Indulgences. That's just a popular, albeit historically-bankrupt, anti-Catholic fairy tale . . .

I've exposed your lies at every turn - so I understand your frustration. My advice to you is simply this: Do your HOMEWORK before attempting to debate things that you know NOTHING about.

Sooooo, is it YOUR pedigree that you chase hookers, smoke meth with male prostitutes and have sex with them and molest children just because SOME within your Protestant ranks are guilty of this? What a crock. And you haven't "refuted" me ONCE. I've challenged you a few time to produce evidence...

And once again - you show how completely ignorant you are of how the Church works. Your posts are becoming increasingly impotent because of this.

Thank you for that completely irrelevant Wikipedia post. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with mandating the "selling of Indulgences". Back to the drawing board, junior . . .

And according to the Bible - this is accomplished when we are WATER Baptized (John 3:5, Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 3:21). As I have stated repeatedly - as does Scripture - water is the MEANS by which we received the Holy Spirit in Baptism.

If some bishop in Rome turned a blind eye to Tetzel's ill-gotten gains - that's on HIM - the individual Bishop. The false historical charge has always been - especially here on this forum - that the Catholic Church sold Indulgences - which is patently FALSE. That's like blaming ALL of...

Then you really don't understand the Church. A Pope or a Bishop doesn't "determine" Sacred Tradition OR doctrine. YOU, like every other ignorant anti-Catholic rely on your erroneous, pre-conceived ideas about the Church but never bother to do your homework. That's why I said that debating with...

And Jesus told His Apostles . . . John 20:21-23 “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins YOU FORGIVE are forgiven them, and whose sins YOU RETAIN are retained.” WHAT did...

I never said that he wasn't. I said that he wasn't SANCTIONED to do that. Big difference, son. Tetzel used whatever means he could to raise money including the selling of Indulgences - which was an ABUSE of the teaching. The ONLY way to shut you up is to demand that you show me the document...
