When will people realize that Catholicism is a total made up religion. First off, name me one author of the New testament that knew Jesus, was there at the Crucifixion or anybody else that was there for the resurrection. Did any of his disciples write anything down and as a matter of fact Jesus never wrote anything down, the church was nothing more than an avenue to control people. It also spread to the protestants. MLK hated the jews after he could not recruit them, his writings tell that story. So sick and tired of Christian religion brainwashing people because that is the same tactic Islam uses. More people have been killed over religion issues than any other political issue.

Seriously? LOL.

Matthew, John, Peter, James, and Jude were Apostles and were there for the whole show. Mark wrote his Gospel based on Peter's recollections. Luke based his work on Paul's and probably Mary's recollections. Paul is, as he says, the odd man out, but he checked his understandings against those of the original Apostles.

I said MLK, I meant ML, got carried away.

How about Peter, Paul and John? - Apostle Peter died about 30 years after Jesus and was considered the senior leader of the disciples. So I’d say he had first-hand knowledge of Jesus as described in 1 Peter 2:21-25. Peter knew Paul and spoke of him in his letters to the Colossians and Ephesians. The apostle John also knew Jesus and referenced Peter when writing to the Philippians. Peter was killed during the reign of Nero, approximately 65-67AD, meaning he and the other apostles were in contact with each other and were spreading the Gospel for decades in spoken and written word.

Heresies. Here are some big ones.
Pope is the vicar of Christ. No one can substitute for Christ
Mary was born w/o original sin. Only Christ was.
Pope is infallible on matters of faith. Pope is a man and fallible.
Purgatory is an invention of the 14th century.

Apparently only the Apostle John was actually there at the Crucifixion (plus Mary if memory serves) - just those two

John of course, in the New Testament:

Gospel According to John
1 John
2 John
3 John
The Revelation or Apocalypse of Jesus Christ

(5 books total)

Tell that to the over 200 million murdered by atheist communist regimes in the 20th century. More people have been killed by democide (death by government) than anything else, including wars. And the undisputed kings of democide were the atheist communists.

I’m praying for you.

Uh, no. Only if you count communist genocide against religion.

And how is that different than any other religion? Which one is the one true one?
