Why do these celebrities have to publicly declare their religion?

Because NOT speaking could be construed as denying.



Matthew 10:32-33 King James Version (KJV)

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Then those vile Anti-Elsie haters will appear; challenging the words he places on FR; yet having little in the way of rebuttal.

The Blessed Virgin Mary always points to her Son, Jesus Christ!

Let's try some easy math:


There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

You don’t draw the line at malicious fiction, do you?

Nope...

she’s not a christian and she should be denied the Eucharist because she speaks passionately about how it’s okay to be murdering children.




Are you still killing your unborn?

I just saw a bumper sticker that said “I’m Catholic and I vote”. So what is that supposed to mean?

Remember that from the cross, Jesus gave us His mother to be our own: "Behold, your mother."

Lovely bit of editting you've shown here.

We Prots (as we are lovingly referred to) KNOW that she was given to John; ONLY.




John 19:25-27  Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.

26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.

27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

We Prots KNOW...

Research is SO much better than hearsay:

Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Miracles can only do so much...

Then deception will have to take over from there...




Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

John 4:48
"Unless you people see signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."

Revelation 13:14
Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth.

The Pope does not have the authority to change the basic rules pertaining to marriage...

Who does; Mary?

If she appears (yet again) on Earth and announces that __________________ ; Catholics will fall all OVER themselves to get in line!

Actually, I see RCs pointing to a contrived Mary more than and even in preference to Christ.

HATER!!!



My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!
God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.
Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.
We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.
Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.
Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.
May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.
You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.
You love us because God and Christ loved us first.
Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.

Catholics are the ONLY TRUE AND COMPLETE CHRISTIANS on Earth


Luke 18:9-14  Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Well, now I see why whenever I post comments,they are attacked and I am called names. I also see why whenever I post articles they are taken down for explanations that doesn’t apply to others. I see so many racist comments on FR about Blacks, but I don’t insult people and attack them personally, yet it is allowed to be done to me, even by the administrators. Very sad indeed.

For 1,600 years, all Christians who were baptized were Catholic...

And were mentioned in the things that John wrote that the angel instructed him.

Sigh...

Seven Catholic churches; so famous, so adored.

All gone now except for rubble...
