How about simply addressing my rock-solid evidence for the existence of the Catholic Church during the lifetime of the Apostle John? Why are you afraid to address this? YOU claim that it didn't exist until about the year 143 AD.
Can you show me documented evidence for this claim??
Changing the subject isn't going to get you off the hook, son . . .
Im not on a "hook" little one, as im not deceived by the "cult of mary".
You're on THEIR hook.
And as i told you.. If Mary is taken out of the Catholic Cult, then it ends.
Its ends.
Now i will walk this back, as i posted 110 yrs, vs 110 AD......so, that is a typo.
Also,
It was between 100-110 AD, that one of your church "fathers", used the term "catholic" in a letter., and he was not referring to a cult that elevates Mary, to "MOG" and so forth, as that happened Later.
So, the "cult of Mary" that you serve, that has the Pope bowing before Plastic Mary Mannequin's that can be 200 Feet High......is not the same "church" that Ignatius was describing. As He was simply describing BELIEVERS in Yeshua.. vs (Crazy) LATER Catholic Doctrine that tries to get to Jesus through Mary.
Now, this issue with "Relics" and "Dead Mary flying to heaven", and so much of "cult of mary" theology, is that its not found in any bible.
And the reason is.......that your "church" believes that the bible is an incomplete work in progress, and anything they decided later that they want to adopt as a new theory, or doctrine.....is EQUAL to the Bible, and that is the worst sin the "cult of Mary" keeps committing.
And the issue with Catholics like you, is that the Bible to you, will never be your final authority, and so, that is why you will believe anything and everything that your "church" decides is "our new doctrine".
So, this type of Blind Obedience to your particular church's teaching is the proof of "cult".
Be glad you are in '2025, as if you lived in the time of say........ Joan of Arc, or Calvin, they would have burned you, had you some significant disagreement with their "newest" and "latest" theology.
Now, they have it so dialed in, so deeply cultic....that most Catholics just bow to Mary and follow along like little blind puppies.......never questioning.
And yet...... This last Fake Pope........Francis, .... = Lots of Catholics were hoping He died sooner, as that one was devil owned and operated.
The new one, is going to have to reverse the "allow gays in the Priesthood" that Francis managed to get in, just before he died too late.
We'll See if Pope Leo follows suit, and if he does, then its going to be interesting to see if Catholics will sit there and just watch their cult turn into some "Woke" Transgendered Gay Rights Religious madness, that Francis was trying to create and unleash.
