This is also amazing to me, since you as a protestant believe that every Christian is infallible, and yet you say what is written on a blog of a Christian is not reliable since it does not have the acclaim of those who control the world and the mainstream media who are leading us the the worst dictatorship in the history of the world!!!
Dude....is reading comprehension not something you learned in school??
Go back to my post regarding what I said about posting from your blog.
The low opinion of Jesus is more from those who think He can be contaminated by contact with a *sinner*.
You do realize, don't you, that when Jesus died on the cross, He took on the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.
If He couldn't handle physical contact with one sinner, how did He atone for all the sins of the world?
You all have a very weak, fragile Jesus and a pushover God according to less than even half of what you claim about Mary.
Protestants do not have saints to refer to that have been shown to be in harmony with the objective truth of God!!!
Thus I can truly understand that you ridicule a Catholic who makes reference to the writings of canonized saints.
For protestants, everything is totally subjective, which means the only source of truth comes from the subjectivity of each person, but with no guarantee of being in harmony with the objective truth of God!!! In fact, protestants are not even able to understand the difference between the objective truth of God and their own feelings, or sentiments, or ideas or ...
In fact, just as those of the world, protestants are led to believe that the unchangeable objective truth of God does not exist. Today those who say the objective truth exists are ridiculed.
RELATIVISM, according to Pope Benedict XVI, is “the most profound difficulty of our time.” (http://popebenedictxviblog.blogspot.it/2005_05_01_archive.html). In his homily at the Mass preceding the conclave that quickly elected him Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger said: “Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine” (Eph 4:14), seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. WE ARE BUILDING A DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVISM that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires.” (http://www.vatican.va/gpII/documents/homily-pro-eligendo-pontifice_20050418_en.html; http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/features2005/colson_relativism_may05.asp).
Cardinal Ratzinger warned us of the “Dictatorship of Relativism” because if you throw out the truth of God, then who governs society? Without the laws of God that tell us to love God and neighbor truly without personal interests, we quick end up with as system of MIGHT MAKES RIGHT, as it is in hell!
Please provide evidence that ealgeone ever said anything even remotely close to that.
Links would work.
It's constantly astounding to see the falsehoods Catholics fabricate and repeat to each other as if it's the truth.
But I suppose, tilting at windmills is satisfying. YOU can declare a win, do a victory dance, and feel good about yourself.
Prove it.
From Scripture.
As a Christian who wants to get to heaven, I must be aware of the many traps of the devil so as not to fall into them, as St. Paul points out frequently in his letters. At the beginning of the article one reads:
As a priest and pastor, one of my most important priorities is to protect the sheep from the wolf, that is, to try to be a “good shepherd” ready to “lay down my life for the sheep” (Jn 10:11; 1Pt 5:1-4), and thus to warn the souls of the many dangers and traps today in this period of the great apostasy before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess ch2) when “if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will be led astray. Few priests do this today because most priests seek to please people who want to only hear things the way they want things and do not want to hear about the necessity to carry the cross of Christ in their lives and they do not want to hear about the existence of the devil, hell or sin. I responded to them with THREE main points. (...)
You say you do not care about Pope Leo XIV. A great number of people will be deceived in this period!
Is it possible that the prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi is for our times, and that there was a coup d’etat at the conclave of 2013, with many Masonic cardinals already present in the Church?
SATAN WILL RECRUIT THE FALSE PROPHET FROM OUR CATHOLIC BISHOPS!
The Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, wrote in 1948:
“[Satan] will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and EMPTIED OF ITS DIVINE CONTENT.”
“We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.”
“The False prophet will have A RELIGION WITHOUT A CROSS. A RELIGION WITHOUT A WORLD TO COME. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.”
“Christ’s Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.”
“THE FALSE CHURCH WILL BE WORLDLY, ECUMENICAL, AND GLOBAL. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.”
“A world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content, it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from our Bishops.”
“THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT BE SO CALLED; OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE NO FOLLOWERS. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust. This masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himself as “I am Who am,” and the Devil as “I am who am not.”
“Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. HIS LOGIC IS SIMPLE: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, OUR LORD TELLS US THAT HE WILL BE SO MUCH LIKE HIMSELF THAT HE WOULD DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT – and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion???”
(Communism and the Conscience of the West, by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Bobbs-Merril Company, Indianapolis, 1948, pp. 24-25)
The “Prophecy of Saint Francis” (Assisi) tells us:
“2. The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of others, will withered to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error.
7. Some preachers will keep silent about the truth and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.”
TLDR
Waaay TLDR
Please. Stop.
THAT's where you should have stopped typing. I would have finally agreed with you.
PLEASE - Stop typing!!
It is not a contradiction.
VacII doesn’t say you are not a heretic, but they imply that you still have time to repent before you die.
You presume to know it all, but you make many false statements.
I didn’t say v2 did. I said it changed from Trent and v1. Try and pay attention.
Do you by chance wear a scapular and/or a miraculous medal? Do you support those who do?
...and I am a fine example of a publican.
What's amazing to me, that Catholics would base their whole belief in “I believe what the Church has taught me”, since Catholics have no access to the objective truth of the Holy Spirit.
For Catholics, each person, in a sense, is a pea in a pod, since each Catholic is believed to be incapable of listening to the Holy Spirit on his own.
He MUST believe that the fellas in the fancy clothes are not leading him astray, for he has NO way of checking the data for himself.
Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
(Obviously - those Bereans were NOT well catechized Catholics!)
Are you not the one who typed this statement with absolutely no support whatsoever?
God the Father would not let His only Son spend 9 months in the womb of a sinner, even the slightest sin.
Well, you have the first two perfected.
The third? Well, It appears you are hearing EXtinguish - not DIStinguish.
Now there is something else Rome forgot to include when it compiled the Bible.
Even I, with my quick wit and unexplainable depth of knowledge, am capable of coming up with something like this to hang, albatross-like, around the next of Rome.
