there are no Protestants to quote until 1517

“There were no denominations - that’s a man made thing.

They were TRUE BELIEVERS just like they are today. And we quote GOD!!”

Well, “denomination” is Protestant term for your thousands
of splits, it’s not a Catholic word. There are so many
splits and inconsistent beliefs, you all came up with a new
word for more splits...”non-denomination~!”

It’s not very mature, you gotta name your source. Good friend Daniel doesn’t quote any Protestants, give their names and their validation of Protestant heresies before 1517. Why? The Church, singular, is Roman Catholic. He quotes constantly, names them, Catholic saints from the beginning, since 33 A.D. Seee...you’re so sweet...’TRUE BELIEVERS’...doesn’t cut it.

I am a cradle born Catholic (though a sinner as we all are so challenged), I profoundly embraced the faith at the age of 4 years old during Good Friday services as the Stations of the Cross were prayed (in Latin). My sweet Grandmother... our Memere blessed me with the OPPORTUNITY to share in the blessings of one God... Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

My Grandmother was completely devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She sought intercession and council through prayer. I truly believe that our family was protected during the lifelong course of prayer of my Grandmother.

Funny thing... as life and time move on... you have family members who seek other forms of worship. Amazing how my devout sweet Memere NEVER EVER condemned a single one. She knew as I and many here truly know, that GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART, YOUR ACTIONS, YOUR SOUL... so stop with the condemnation. It really is NOT up to you sir... the only one who judges is God. I see many at Mass who are not at all "engaged" with what they are doing...and then I see others who give themselves to others on the Lord's day... and perhaps they cannot attend Mass because their responsibilities take them there. I really don't think that God is keeping score on your Mass attendance, He is more likely keeping score on your LIFE attendance and what you are doing during that performance.

MY SOURCE IS GOD!! You keep overlooking that.

TRUE BELIEVERS’...doesn’t cut it.

It does with God and new flash - it's not about you!

TRUE BELIEVERS belong to JESUS and JESUS ALONE - just the way God wants it! IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS!!

Who and What were people PROTESTING about? So the label was given. They were TRUE BELIEVERS! Thank you, Luther, er al, for HEARING and OBEYING.
