That is a great list. I have learned so much about being a Caholic and how out of touch with the Bible they are. So thankful I am a Protestant.
I'm lazy.
Could YOU post what you want me to see?
Mary; of the bible; surely has mutated into something quite different; under the care of the Catholic Church.
:)
HMMMmmm...
What'll it take to keep you from posting so much of YOUR opinions without any supporting evidence?
I just love it when the properly catechized Catholics and the Poorly catechized ones go head-to-head!
If they can't stand the heat...
No matter HOW many of their books a pope can kiss...
Why?
Tired of contending for the faith, ONCE given to the saints?
Not what your church teaches Sal
917. What is the Mass?
A. The Mass is the unbloody sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ.
920. Is the Mass the same sacrifice as that of the Cross? A. The Mass is the same sacrifice as that of the Cross.
Q. 921. How is the Mass the same sacrifice as that of the Cross?
A. The Mass is the same sacrifice as that of the Crossbecause the offering and the priest are the sam -- Christ our Blessed Lord; and the ends for which the sacrifice of the Mass is offered are the same as those of the sacrifice of the Cross.
Here's one now: The Vatican II council suddenly gave authority to administer the bread and wine to laypersons. For the previous 1,900 years, it was the Priest's exclusive role because even though the Primary Sacrificing Priest is Jesus Christ, they believe that Christ utilizes the priest as His servant and representative and He (Christ) fulfills the consecration through him (the priest). It's one of the perks.
< sarc> Before the 1960s, I guess the priests were better athletes than the laity. (Maybe they thought the laity had "bricks" for hands.) But the laity must have trained and improved so they eventually got on the "team." The "team" wants the fumble and turnover rates to be nearly zero. :^)

What changed? God's Word? (no.) Their vain tradition changed. SOURCE
It's easy to be impressed by the contortions that Catholics make to continue their blasphemy. Just take a look at the link above. While reading, ask, "Where did that come from?" Notice, too, all the Biblical references (footnotes) for the rules and regulations. (Hint: there are none.)
.
So, since I mentioned scripture, I must provide something substantial to support my claim of blasphemy:
(Heb 9:23-28)
Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
See #91.
Thats only Muslims, Buddhists , atheists etc...Sorry if you are a protestant every pope has cursed you to hell
When the Protestant-bashers do likewise, sure.
OK, I understand what you say. But if a poster is going to exclusively attack one denomination, does that mean that the other denominations pass scrutiny? Does silence prove assent?
That line of reasoning usually indicates the speaker does not understand the basics of logic.
Attacking is YOUR WORD not mine.. I consider it informing or teaching ... I love Catholics, I love them enough to accept all manner of "bashing" and insults to help them understand what the reformation was about.. and to pray that they will seek the truth of the scriptures ...and come to Christ..
So it is indeed a blessing when you post my past posts.. Thank You
Well, why don’t YOU tell me. And then I can give you multiple official pronouncements by past popes to contradict your fantasies.
You are the one asking the question. In trying to come up with an answer, I searched the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is a full, complete exposition of Catholic doctrine. I did not find where it says that Catholic doctrine contradicts the idea that “Protestant Christians can be saved and are genuine Christians.”
So you tell me. Where does it say in the Catechism that Protestant Christians cannot be saved and are not geniune Christians?
