You are wrong on so many points in a multitude of aspects. Ealgeone reminds me of a lawyer who is paid by the state to defend someone who the lawyer knows is guilty, but defends the crook anyway using every lawyer’s trick of persuasion.
I have discovered that ealgeone has made a dozen remarks in other threads besides this one today, and I do not possess the liberty to continue engaging another forum member who has that level of leisure, due to other God given responsibilities.
So, I have made the defence of the Catholic Church in numerous angles, and if you go back and review them you will find a more logical and powerful argument than yours, with the authority of Jesus Christ and His bride, the Church (of which Francis has no part - he is an anti-pope, an enemy of Christ and His beloved bride; he is not even a Catholic).
On the other hand there are many other compelling arguments and historical references including as spoken by highly virtuous and impeccable saints, far holier than you or I that improve upon what I have written, that have convinced many of the truths which I have defended in this thread.
Also, a reliable source for true Catholicism is available at

Ealgeone must repent of the rebellion to which he adheres with the Protestant heretics, as with any other sins to which he adheres, and believe the good news of Jesus Christ to forgive and heal him as He did Paul who also persecuted Jesus Christ through harm to the Church.
You are in my prayers for the same.
I've posted on a lot of threads. So what?
This comes from the poster who wrote:
In your beloved scriptures,....
Yes...you've defended roman catholicism very well. Christianity no. But roman catholicism, yes.
There is a difference.
The astute reader of this thread will draw their own conclusions as to the accuracy of what has been posted.
Meanwhile, you keep on defending dogmas where No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture.
For the record.
I am a Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ who died for my sins. I have placed my faith and trust in Him and Him alone.
John records Jesus as saying:
24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24
I'm trusting Him at His word.
When I sin I can come before Him in confidence and confess my sins and He will forgive them.
How do we know? John again tells us:
9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Can we have confidence in our salvation with Christ? Yes.
John again records.
13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 1 John 5:13-15
