Ummmm, first of all – you STILL haven’t given me a SINGLE SHRED of document evidence for your fictitious time frame of 143 AD for when the Catholic Church was established. The Church documents EVERYTHING as it pertains to its existence. Soooo, show me the document that promulgated the Church . . .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.
Ummmm, the BIBLE says that the Bible is not our ONLY Authority . . .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".
Matt 16: 19/Matt. 18: 18
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. WHATEVER YOU BIND on earth shall be bound in heaven; and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
2 Thess 2:15
"Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, whether by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a LETTER from us."
Luke 10:16
Whoever LISTENS to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME."
Hmmmm, go figure – the Church is also out Authority . . .
As for the Pope – God does His will with – or without good Popes. There have been rotten Popes in the past and yet Jesus’s promise that the “gates of Hell will not prevail” (Matt. 16:18) against His Church has stood the test of time.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.
As to Calvin and his cohorts – they did more damage to the Body of Christ than any bad Pope ever did. Their tragic legacy resonates to the tune of hundreds of millions of confused Christians and pseudo-Christians .
Finally- Francis never allowed for gays to become priests.
Your penchant for LYING us your undoing.
Exod. 20:16
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Good luck with that . . .
