50,000 denominations all under one roof.
I LOVE St. Vincent de Paul!!! They REALLY HELP people and waste no money.
Samaritan’s Purse is a great organization. Its leadership is not afraid to stand on principle.
Glad I stopped giving to these heretics a long time ago.
What a hypocritical religion, eh???
Because birds of a feather flock together...
What a nonsensical comment!
**Do NOT give CRS any money until they get straight with Catholicism.**
This is the answer.
Are they still available to answer any questions I might have? 😩😭😱😁
("About Lepanto", from their site):
"The Lepanto Institute for the Restoration of All Things in Christ is a research and education organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within. Whether in the form of armies, heretics, or traitors, the Church has always faced enemies seeking Her destruction. Today, the Church faces all three."
Do you have any unanswered questions that are keeping you from crossing the Tiber and returning “home” to Catholicism?
I don’t because I didn’t leave the Catholic church because of unanswered questions.
Well, let me think about that for a moment. No, come to think of it, I don't have any unanswered questions. Does that answer your question? 😄😃😀😁😅😇😀😃😄😅😂
You really need to research at least a little before you make such asinine statements...CRS is probably one of the finest and most efficient charitable organizations in the world.
You seem to think that you have all the answers already...(you don't)...so what would your questions be....maybe which of the thousands of misguided protestant "denominations" is correct???(answer:none of them)!!!
LOL, as Ronnie Reagan would say, there you go again. Actually, my unanswered question, was why did I think I could not go to Heaven, even though I thought I was in the only true church, the RCC. I wasn't, in the true church, that is. He just fed me the same nonsense I had been filled with, for my whole life, but never was able to give me a satisfactory answer, like, where was I going? Big surprise there. I decided I was going to read the Bible and interpret it myself. I am glad I did. Sorry if others don't like that. I do it anyway, and I love it, and don't care if anyone likes it or not. By the way, we all know that I belong to the only true church, the First United Church of the Navigators, in Jesus our Lord. It was formed in the distant past, like maybe about 5.379457321 million years ago, or maybe even before that. At any rate, it was formed so many millions of years ago, it must be right. 😄😀😃 I am glad I belong to the only true church, because no one can be saved unless they belong to the only true church, which is the previously mentioned church. 😄😃😀😱😎 I am comfortable with my choice. If others are not? Oh well. 😀😃😮😱🙉🙈🙊
Because what you really believe is shown by your actions and fruit. (Ja. 2:18; Mt. 7:20) And the popes and prelates overall must believe that treating even publicly known proabortion/sodomite/Muslim souls and their supporters as members in life and in death is right, without which Rome would lose a lot of its membership.
Unlike fund. evangelicals, conservative RCs cannot separate from these "brethren," except by becoming part of a sect like the SSPX, or a schism, like the SSPV. Which means they are like Protestants, since they rely upon their interpretation of what is written as being the truth, versus following the leadership who show by their actions and fruit the meaning of historical RC teaching.
"It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock...the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors." (VEHEMENTER NOS, an Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on February 11, 1906),
Thank you.
We have a St Vincent de Paul Society in my parish. Our 5th Sunday second collection goes to them.
They give out no cash but instead pay utility bills, rent, buy groceries, etc.
Since the parish started online donations, I expect SVdP to receive more money in the future.
