Yeah, Columbus looked for some of you to help him discover America but you escaped that responsibility too I guess.
“And how long have you been presiding over this court; Your Honor?”
While you sit and judge others....

Put 100 catholics and ask them to read scripture, and they’ll kneel down with their demon beads an worship Easter/Mary.

Please show the post where she did that. I wouldn't want to think that was just a spurious comment.
You answer is not responsive to the question.
I replied only because you posted to me.
Perhaps we should just be done. Deal?
Who did I call *demonic*?
Thanks for your reply. I’d post the Catholic apologetic response to the Holy Eucharist being only symbolic, but I am certain you are familiar with most if not all.
On the specific point you make:
>> NOT in a perpetual ongoing sacrifice of me, but to REMEMBER.
I don’t see a reason why this is a dichotomy. It can also be complementary.
Sorry, you're wrong....Catholicism is not a denomination...it is pure Christianity....when you are Baptized, you are baptized Christian....and that is, by definition, Catholic. There are those who for some unexplained reason choose not to participate in Christ's church but want to remain Christian....they are called protestants.
We are commanded to judge and discern whether something is of God or not.
Every decision we make in life is based on our judgment.
How else do you determine what is true and false?
I chased lasses in school too.....sigh :)
Not me. Never heard of the guy.
Nor do I put any stock in *experts*.
I'm not a respecter of persons.
Sorry, you describe yourself as a Catholic priest on your profile page here at FR.
IMO no real Catholic priest would ever say something like that in jest, so I believed you meant it and it was part of what your were taught at priest school. Seminary, whatever.
It's not any more bizarre than believing that Mary appears and talks to little girls, that she appears in a tree stump (Watsonville, Ca come years ago), that she appeared to a guy named Juan Diego in 1531 and left her miraculous image on Juan Diego's outer garment and many other unbelieveable "appearances."
Documented as valid by the Catholic church.
So what you said seemed in line with all these other things that Catholics must believe.
You do know that accusing a poster of malice, libel or slander...actionable legal terms...can get you banned?
The only kind of post that person ever makes.

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Here Jesus commands us to judge.
.
Catholics lead people away from Yeshua, and teach pagan practices like the mass, eucharist, icons, idols, easter, prayers to dead humans, and more.
Its a sickening thing to behold to one that accepts the word of God.
.
well, yes, unless they adopted ssome other religion they remaained Catholic....BAD Catholics but Catholics noneetheless. I never said that all Catholics were goodd....some are ratfinks and all are responsible for the lives that they lead...Hell is a big place and I'm certain that there is room there for all of them
He (Martin Luther) was also founder of the protestants......do you really want to argue written history now?
Why are you so squeamish about the founder of the protestants all the sudden?
Shouldnt he be like a saint or something by now?...it’s been a whole 500 years...
