But, but, but, there are no converts to “Protestantism.”

If this clown can run a church, why can’t the Pope?

Another story from the former Catholics website. Time to move on.

More anti-Catholic bashing. Nothing to see here, move along.

A beautiful testimony. Thanks for posting.

I have to wonder though how many people the website scares away when it opens with multiple videos each with their own sound tracks, all playing at once.

What impresses me a lot was what he said about his own experience of coming to know the true Christ..... nothing we say to our Roman Catholic friends here on Free Republic will alter their beliefs about their Roman church. It is only if one truly seeks a personal relationship with Christ that one ultimately finds it, just as Bob Bush did.

Hitler’s Pope

this website even discovered that the pope was a Nazi

they do not identify themselves ... except Ellsworth Michigan. Anonymous.

“Roman catholic author and historian John Cornwell, discusses his book “Hitlers Pope”. The book exposes the secret history of pope Pius XII and the involvement of the Vatican during the darkest days of world war II and the Jewish holocaust. “

Kind of a long story just for some one to say they do not agree with Catholic doctrine.

”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

John 14
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Rev 20
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

What are the works?

Matthew 25:31-46
The sheep and the goats.

We read a lot about the lives of the saints, and right from the beginning I was trained to look at them as models to follow, not realizing that they had become saints because they had served the Catholic Church.

Right, no Saint of the Church has ever fed, clothed, or helped the poor because they love Our Lord.

I began my Catholic journey in a little country town in northern California in the U.S.A. The town was so small that we did not have Mass every Sunday, but a priest used to come once a month if he possibly could to hold Mass in a big public hall.

With the catholic belief you can lose your salvation for mortal sins, and enough venial sins, what happens to the individual who committs enough of these, or whatever the requirement is, and that individual dies before the priest makes it around.

Does this individual go to Heaven or Hell? Catholic teaching says one has lost salvation if committing these sins without confession and forgiveness of the priest.

Heaven or Hell....what say you?

An amazing testimony of Grace, Faith, and Salvation.

Two men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. “What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders? “ the one asked.

The second replied, “Well, they were both founded by Spaniards — St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy — the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Protestants.”

“What is different about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?”

“Met any Albigensians lately?”

[Salvation]

He is still a baptized Catholic, a confirmed Catholic and an ordained priest. He will have to answer for his abandonment of Christ with those marks on his soul.
