I am a Catholic as well as a Christian, please see my tagline. Thank-you!

[Biggirl]

Those who follow Christ are Christians and we have a common baptism.

[ebb tide]

Nobody can follow Christ without being in His Church.

[Biggirl]

God Bless this new beliver in Jesus and please Lord keep him SAFE. Amen

The Gospels don’t give us any information about Peter’s age, other than that he had a mother-in-law, so he couldn’t been a juvenile (by local standards). I don’t why the convention developed that he was decades older than Jesus was.

It doesn’t mean the art isn’t moving, but it’s just not the way I picture it from the text.

Francis: “There is no such thing as a Christian without the Church”

[ealgeone]

Nobody can follow Christ without being in His Church.

His church is the ekklesia...the body of believers.

[ealgeone]

I agree there is One Lord, one faith and one baptism.

But none of these have to go through Mary, nor does Mary play a role in any of this, as espoused by roman catholicism.

[ealgeone]

I see you like Francis now. Tomorrow you’ll be back to posting articles tossing him under the bus.

Sustained by this hope, and roused and urged by the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave his life for the whole human race, We cannot refrain Ourselves, on the occasion of the future Council, from addressing Our Apostolic and paternal words to all those who, whilst they acknowledge the same Jesus Christ as the Redeemer, and glory in the name of Christian, yet do not profess the true faith of Christ, nor hold to and follow the Communion of the Catholic Church. And We do this to warn, and conjure, and beseech them with all the warmth of Our zeal, and in all charity, to consider and seriously examine whether they follow the path marked out for them by Jesus Christ our Lord, and which leads to Eternal Salvation. No one can deny or doubt that Jesus Christ himself, in order to apply the fruits of his redemption to all generations of men, built his only Church in this world on Peter; that is to say, the Church, One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic; and that he gave to it all necessary power, that the deposit of Faith might be preserved whole and inviolable, and that the same Faith might be taught to all peoples, kindreds, and nations, that through baptism all men might become members of his mystical body, and that the new life of grace, without which no one can ever merit and attain to life eternal, might always be preserved and perfected in them; and that this same Church, which is his mystical body, might always remain in its own nature firm and immovable to the end of time, that it might flourish, and supply to all its children all the means of Salvation.

Pope Pius IX

Even a broken clock has the correct time twice a day.

[ealgeone]

And I can post from the ECFs who catholics appeal to on a regular basis, and claim their vaunted tradition was handed down to, which will contradict your post from Pius.

Then there's this from the Second Vatican Council.

Ecumenism: Unitatis Redintegratio declared the ecumenical movement a good thing, encouraged Catholics to be part of it and referred to Eastern, Oriental and Protestant Christians as "separated brethren." In 1928 Pope Pius XI had condemned the ecumenical movement. From the Council of Trent until the Second Vatican Council Protestants were officially referred to as heretics.http://www.catholicregister.org/item/15194-what-changed-at-vatican-ii

[ealgeone]

Yes, and I see you have yet another thread throwing him under the bus.

[ebb tide]

You can post all the garbage you want to. I can’t stop you.

[kearnyirish2]

Oh, no doubt; they no longer lead.

[ealgeone]

Hey, it's from a catholic source. I guess Vatican II is garbage in your own personal catholic worldview.

[ebb tide]

Of course I do. And it’s not just a “personal” view.

[Atticus]

He joins many notable converts, for example:

Laura Ingraham
Robert Bork
Larry Kudlow
Robert Novak
Alfred Regnery
Newt Gingrich
Bobby Jindal
John Wayne
G.K. Chesterton
Russel Kirk
Evelyn Waugh

And, yes, Jeb Bush and Tony Blair

[ealgeone]

Are you in the Traditionalist Catholic or Sedevacantists camp?

[ebb tide]

I’m in the Catholic camp. I go to FSSP Masses.
