So is your church “The Church Of What’s Happening Now” ?...just asking.
I don’t know. “The Whore And Her Daughters” was better than “Hannah And Her Sisters”....but not by much. And I spent too much on popcorn and soda.
Little do you poor guys know that your own religion isn't even consistent with your own doctors of the church, such as Saint Augustine.
You're comparing the observation that the Papacy was a later development (which is actually taught by YOUR own scholars and theologians) to holocaust denial?
The reaction from Catholics here to this thread is interesting. Someone else noted that the Catholics make oodles of threads promoting the supremacy of their church, yet when a thread that even some of your scholars would agree with is published, but which offends the poor "traditionalists," all of a sudden it's like a David Duke posting!
Readers should take note of this.
Sign? Denomination? What is this talk? Denominations don't save Duncan. Belonging to some organization doesn't save Duncan. When someone believes on Christ alone for their salvation they become part of the called out, the ekklesia of Christ.
The Catholic Church has lied to people about a lot of things. One is the lineage of popes which is the subject of this article. This article isn't about me.
Here is some information about the history of the title of pope.
"The title was from the early 3rd century a general term used to refer to all bishops. From the 6th century, the title began to be used particularly of the Bishop of Rome, and in the late 11th century Pope Gregory VII issued a declaration that has been widely interpreted as stating this by then established Western convention. By the same 6th century, this was also the normal practice of the imperial chancery of Constantinople. ["Pope", Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Oxford University Press, 2005, ISBN 978-0-19-280290-3]
See that? Not until the 6th century was it even used for the Bishop of Rome. History shows there wasn't even a single "church" in Rome until Constantine made Christianity the official religion. The history put forth by the Catholic Church today is fallacy. How about addressing that issue and proving all the honest researchers wrong. Got any documentation other than the propaganda from the Catholic Church?

No, its the congregation of Yeshua as it was when the apostles still lived.
The Way, the narrow path that few will find.

I see you had to make do with a graphic of pagans attacking a Catholic. We wouldn’t have to stoop to such tactics, since there are plenty of illustrations of Catholics burning Protestants at the stake, back when they could get away with it.
I was under the impression we are in general agreement here, so either I have you confused with someone else or you didn’t understand my comment.
We have propagandists for Rome on Free Republic 24/7 yet Catholics whine and cry when their church is countered even a little bit. The discussions promoting the Roman religion probably outnumber all other religious threads at least 10-1 but Protestants/Evangelicals are the ones accused of fomenting discord. We shouldn’t be surprised. Rome officially declared war on biblical Christianity centuries ago.
Maybe start a thread about that, instead of trying to derail this one?
The work of actual historians is now “pseudo-historical”?
As opposed to the conflicting Catholic traditions, for which there is a serious dearth of historical evidence to support?
Looking back on my response to your comment, I jumped too quickly and misunderstood your comment without putting into context. I apologize. I agree fully with the original poster and you.
Putting sad face of embarrassment on. :-)
“Papacy built on pious fiction and forgery”
All we hear around here, is how Rome is built upon true history, Protestant history traces only to Luther, Calvin, etc. Truth is, as someone has posted on the RF recently, the Roman “house” is built upon a pebble (Peter), the true universal/catholic house is built upon bedrock - Jesus Christ and the word of God (Sola Scriptura).
It’s high time somebody start a series on the false foundation of Romanism. I can think of no subject needed more. RnMom, you are my hero.
wow
Ha! Says the most historically-impaired person here. Got any more dirt about ancient Rome that conclusively proves(!) that the Catholic Church purposefully fostered illiteracy 600+ years later? Or perhaps you'd like to blow our minds with some ground-breaking info about those poor, persecuted Albigensians (who didn't extent outside a 20 mile radius of "some village"...Or something).
I stand ready to be amused.
Amazing how they don’t address the content but instead have to “speak out loud” to reassure themselves.
Then again, I think each comment removed by the RM get “Purgatory points.”
Easy mistake. Nothing to worry about.
TY
