Wow, that verse sums up the entire Catholic religion nicely.

I need to memorize more of my bible again, I’ve been slacking since my battalion days.

That passage is in reference to antichrist. Most of the old Protestant confessions identified the papacy as antichrist. Up until just over 100 years ago just about every Protestant knew the identity of antichrist and the great whore of Revelation. Rome (and Satan) must love all the prophecy pimps and weak easily-led preachers who have come along and obscured the truth.

Interestingly enough it was hearing an interview with a former priest that got me to begin studying the writings of historic Protestants. I had no idea how definite and united they were on this topic.

Here is what Spurgeon had to say:

“”It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. If there were to be issued a hue and cry for Antichrist, we should certainly take up this church on suspicion, and it would certainly not be let loose again, for it so exactly answers the description.”

“Popery is contrary to Christ’s Gospel, and is the Antichrist, and we ought to pray against it. It should be the daily prayer of every believer that Antichrist might be hurled like a millstone into the flood and for Christ, because it wounds Christ, because it robs Christ of His glory, because it puts sacramental efficacy in the place of His atonement, and lifts a piece of bread into the place of the Saviour, and a few drops of water into the place of the Holy Ghost, and puts a mere fallible man like ourselves up as the vicar of Christ on earth; if we pray against it, because it is against Him, we shall love the persons though we hate their errors: we shall love their souls though we loath and detest their dogmas, and so the breath of our prayers will be sweetened, because we turn our faces towards Christ when we pray.”

It was hard to recognize it as a real body

But it was real... just like my x'x roasts are..(she way over cooks all the cuts of meat she makes).
Like I said, my "X".. there was a reason for the 'X' in the sentence and in reality.

every miracle

Yeah, like bees when they make honey take most if not all of the poisons out of the raw material they process to make honey with their tiny little bodies.

That is just amazing and a miracle for real. Then honey is an antibiotic and keeps for years in a refrigerator or on the shelf. They have found it in Egyptian tombs and left by explorers in the most bizarre places and it is still edible!

That is a miracle and beyond amazing.

When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, the Vatican used a wrapping technique similar to what was believed to have been applied to Jesus. It failed miserably. Only days after his death, his nose fell off...

I think they got Jesus mixed up with Michael Jackson. :-P

...various mixtures of ethanol, methanol, phenol, camphor, nitrobenzene, turpentine and benzoic acid.
Finally the body was bandaged in linen cloths saturated with a solution of mercury bichloride and ethanol.
The Church decided not to rebury Pope John XXIII, instead putting him on display for pilgrims.

I hope they put up plenty of signs reading
NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES.

Because that video presents a guy who can barely talk is it supposed to be taken as wise or what? Does his view get more relevance and importance because it is another chance to bash the Catholic Church?

Really? How wise and learned he must be.
On the other hand could HE be the Antichrist or one of his minions?

I don’t understand...

Quite. The 12 Apostles have always been designated saints.

Key word “often”. Must be Post-Vatican II.

This is either a Breaking Bad episode or one creepy episode of Martha Stewart.

Oh I care about what happens after death, I’m going to heaven.

I also care where other people are going.

uncorrupted after death and smelled of flowers.

Like this one?

Titan arum, corpse flower
The titan arum, the first of two flowers in this list nicknamed the corpse flower, carries the unfortunate designation of being "the worst smelling flower in the world." It smells like — you guessed it — a stinking, rotting corpse. (emphasis mine)
