I agree with your first paragraph.
But what is OTC?
“Over The Counter” as in Prilosec, OTC ;-)
Thanks.
Catholics like to wear the martyr badge.
It seems to make them feel good to somehow think that everyone is talking about them behind their backs.
Like boatbums said, PPPP - poor, pitiful, persecuted papists.
Everyone is out to get them. Poor babies.
Would it surprise you?
I don’t know if you believe in the end times teachings as Protestants/Evangelicals see it in Scripture, but IMO, this sort of thing is the perfect set up for the rise of the anti-Christ, the false prophet, and the one world government.
The technology is in place to effect it, and it seems that people are being put in positions of power to enact it.
Might want to give it some thought if you don’t because it seems to be a little more than co-incidental to me.
OTC = One True Church
I have been Baptist since the late 1950’s and not once have I heard a minister mention Catholics.. In fact, when we have programs with lots of non members attending, our minister will tell them to find a Bible believing church to be active in. He never says you have to become a member of our church. I just do not understand their belief that they are on everyone else’s minds.
What does the word “pontifex” mean?
Thanks. Unfortunately, we Catholics now have a pope who apparently doesn’t believe in a OTC.
Doesn’t give us “sour-puss”, “self-absorbed, Promethean neo-Pelagian”, rosary-counters” much of a leg to stand on.
There’s always Jesus.
He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, and when men fail us, as they will, He is always there.
True! And I see Him, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at every Mass. Thanks for the encouraging words!
Doesn't sound like you guys get to choose.
Except when they’re not the pope. Which is why I hold to the sedevacantist view regarding the crisis in the Church these days. With each passing day, this guy, more than any other post Vatican II pope, looks more and more like an anti-pope.
I wouldn’t be surprised if these are the end times. Catholic prophecy also speaks of these times and more and more it looks like the Great Apostasy could be upon us.
A couple of years ago, that viewpoint would have got you ran on this forum. Best stay off the caucus threads with this admission.
Oh, I’ve heard. That’s okay. I follow the rules here even if I consider myself just as much of a Catholic as those who say I’m not.
As far as I know the only issue we have is that y'all make her into an idol.
Look up latria, hyperdulia, and dulia.
And maybe then you’ll stop the lies about Catholics and idols.
Idolators always come up with rationale and excuses. On that grand and terrifying day we will be called into account all sin, to include idolatry of Mary. Well those that do so anyway.
Why do y’all though money at Joel Olsteen’s every footstep?
