Cold. I am through with you. Personal attacks. Should know better than to think a dialogue would work.

[Al Hitan]

Does the shoe fit now???

[Yosemitest]

I would say John simple wrote the message Jesus gave him.
And the church of the GREAT WHORE tries to conceal THAT TRUTH.

[editor-surveyor]

Poor thing!

[Yosemitest]

Well put.

[editor-surveyor]

That’s it in a nutshell.

The Catholic religion absolutely does not state you must be Catholic to achieve salvation. This was codified at Vatican II.

[Loud Mime]

I can’t stop laughing at your response.

[NKP_Vet]

Catholic Churches were always known for reverence to the Lord. The poison of protestantism has all but destroyed that reverence.

[CynicalBear]

I can just envision Catholics dressing the converts in the jungles of Borneo in suits and ties.

[Elsie]

The poison of protestantism has all but destroyed that reverence.

We live in your heads a LOT it seems...

[Elsie]

I had a priest tell me that since I wouldn’t pray to Mary, I was going to hell.

Just wait...

If this thread gets up to over 4300 replies like another currently in play here; you'll be told that MULTIPLE times!

You'll also be told that you do NOT have to be a Catholic to make it to Heaven.

(Sometimes it's by the same people!)

I’m not really sure where you stand on Catholicism. You really need to be clear when you post.

Tell us how you really feel! Don’t be shy now!

Wow, a very poisonous comment. When did you convert?

[editor-surveyor]

Figures, for a catholic.

You are just asking for it! He provided a 'wire diagram' and all.

[editor-surveyor]

It plainly shows what the purpose of their church attendance is.

I live on the edge.

I may even have a glass of sparkling cider tonight at midnight!

In a real glass, glass. I’m putting the plastic cups away for tonight! Woo hoo!

Happy New Year to all!

You must be getting Catholics confused with Mormans. Catholic priests for the last 2,000 years have been going to every corner of the world converting others to REAL CHRISTIANITY, i.e., Catholicism. And for 2,000 years hundreds of thousands have given their life spreading the gospel. Protestants better get busy because Catholics have a 1,500 year head start on them. Without Catholicism there would be no America, no Western Civilization. All the great early explorers were Catholics, most sent to North America and every other corner of the world by Catholic kings and queens.
