“...There is one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside of which there is neither salvation nor remission of sins...”

This is so stupid. At the time of these explorations there was intellect. Now, there is none.
Well, is it anti-Catholic to disagree with a papal Bull or encyclical? Or interpret it?
Calling out the Bigot Brigade, are we?
You actually left the Church because of 500 year old Papal Bulls??
Not Americans.
Canadians planning on moving back to jolly ol’ England?
Bigot Brigade? Not making any personal attacks are we?
Sheesh. Well, if being “bigoted” means fighting for the truth of the Gospel, the truth that has been buried by the cult of Rome, then I suppose I’m a bigot. Rome has done more to push the work of Satan than any other group known.

Better late than never.
But; I would imagine it's will happen right after apologizing to Mecca for being so mean to Muslims during the crusades.
Perhaps ISIS would like to have Alhambra to use as their headquarters.
You could always join ISIS if you feel that way. They really enjoy a good bout of Catholic-bashing.
But those sentences posted by '.45 Long Colt' do sum it up nicely. For me anyway.
Bonaventure: …the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.
Ephem: …devotion to the divine Mother…is the unlocking of the heavenly Jerusalem.
Blosius: To the, O Lady, are committed the KEYS and the treasures of the kingdom of Heaven.
Ambrose: …constantly pray ‘Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since thou hast its KEYS.
Fulgetius: …by Mary God descended from Heaven into the world, that by HER man might ascend from earth to Heaven.
Athanasius: …And, thou, O Lady, wast filled with grace, that thou mightiest be the way of our SALVATION and the means of ascent to the heavenly Kingdom.
Richard of Laurence: Mary, in fine, is the mistress of heaven; for there she commands as she wills, and ADMITS whom she wills.
Guerric: …he who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes, is as CERTAIN of heaven as if he were already there…and those who DO NOT serve Mary will NOT BE SAVED.
Anselm: It suffices, O Lady, that thou willest it, and our SALVATION is certain.
Antoninus: …souls protected by Mary, and on which she casts her eyes, are NECESSARILY JUSTIFIED AND SAVED.
Lamanites?
Nephites?
It is definitely PRO-Catholic to lash out at the current POPE and his public statements!
We see it here on FR all the time!
Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]
Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]
Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]
Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
So you’re turned off by the rise of Western Civilization and the human desire to explore the world? Personally, I’m proud of the Church’s achievements in science and exploration. There is a reason for the West’s “superiority” - unless you think the American Indian is the apex of culture, of course.
Prithee thee...
A growing chorus in Canada is calling on the Vatican to help begin a new relationship with aboriginal people on equal footing.
...
They aren’t aboriginal. And if they want to go back to living the way they did before the evil civilized white man appeared, there’s plenty of territory where they can do that.
So you want to avoid answering a simple question by resorting to this?
You’re the one who alerted the usual gang, not me.
