So you cast the first stone, then you must be without sin.

Judge not, lest you you be judged.

Why do you want the destruction of the church that Christ founded? The Catholic Church has the Eucharist - The Body and Blood of Christ that we can receive at Mass. Why do you want to eliminate a gift from Jesus?

Yes there are sinners in the Church, just as their are sinners everywhere. Jesus worked with the sinners, why are you offended at the church that tries to help individuals attain everlasting life with God?

I am certainly offended by the sin, as is God.

Actress Patricia Heaton gave the best response to this issue. She of course is Catholic and prolife:
I don’t care if every previous Pope is exposed. My allegiance is not to any man or institution, but only to Christ crucified and risen, who warned that it would be better to drown with a millstone around your neck than to cause his little ones to stumble. — Patricia Heaton September 1, 2018

Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother
of God in the Word of God

Building on scriptural and historical foundations, Scott Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

“Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation”

Not any of it found in Scripture.

Always about a demigoddess. Never about Christ.©️

It’s not the religion that’s rotting, it’s some of its leadership. Not unlike the USA, really. Like the RCC, the USA fundamentally is a fine, sound, best on earth option that has from time to time been overtaken by evil people. That doesn’t change the basic nature of the religion or the nation. The swamp dwellers of both have to be drained to restore that basic goodness.

Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Always about Christ.

I wonder. What would it take for them to realize how rotten things have gotten and finally leave?

Their Pope is protecting child rapists. Their cardinals are covering it up. They’re STILL selling indulgences. Their priests are having sodomy cocaine orgies in the Vatican itself.

Why don’t they just LEAVE? Make a church in exile! Lay claim as the REAL Catholics? What on earth is chaining these people to the Satanic morass that is becoming more and more obvious every day?

Aren't you a RC priest?

And yet you spread falsehood.

Building on scriptural and historical foundations, Scott Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation.

Karl Keating has admitted in debates with James White, and confirms what the Catholic Encyclopedia online says, is the Immaculate Conception is not found in Scripture.

For Roman Catholics to insist otherwise is spreading false doctrine.

As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

Ahh yes...the ancient art and science or reading the Scriptures.....sounds like something the Gnostics might say...only they had the "special insight" into Truth....Mormons make similar claims.

There is nothing ancient about reading the Scriptures. Further, Roman Catholicism does not use the Greek in their understanding of the Scriptures. If they did, these "dogmas" go away.

We've been told the lay Roman Catholic cannot read or understand the Scriptures on their own. Nor does Rome help them in that they've only dogmatically defined less than 25 verses by some accounts.

However, no where in Scripture is it ever said the Christian has to believe these.....while the Roman Catholic has to.

A clear reading of the Scriptures denies the Roman Catholic view on these topics. Rome can only "see" these in Scripture if they practice eisegesis.

And of course neither is taught in Scripture and represent a pittance of the actual Gospel that reveals how to be saved.

And it's a real indictment of Catholicism when money talks when nothing else will.

THIS!

LOL! The Liturgy of the Word IS Scripture.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist IS in Scripture.

Now, if only Roman Catholics understood it correctly...Do this in remembrance of Me.

That is not what Rome teaches.

“LOL! The Liturgy of the Word IS Scripture.

“The Liturgy of the Eucharist IS in Scripture.

Dear salvation, I’m afraid you LOL because you missed the point.

When you take Scripture selectively, and use it falsely, you commit two wrongs.

First, you teach what isn’t true by distorting truth.

Second, you leave out what is crucial, condemning religionists into believing a message that doesn’t save.

You did respond to me once that you didn’t have time for “studying to show yourself approved,” because “you have a life.”

And your post is the result.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that sentence/command is said at every Mass.

Yeah, I don’t care what some blog has to say, especially if you’re going to just post a link instead of actually responding.

What would it take for you to just split yourself off from the corruption in the Vatican and reform a faithful Catholic church? Heck, you can even call Francis a fraudulent Pope and re-call what few faithful Cardinals are left and make a new Pope once Benedict dies?

How bad does it have to get before you just leave the Vatican’s wickedness instead of chaining yourself to it?
