[HYPOCRACY]

Desperate parlor tricks by this commie fag. Heretic.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Totally made up heresy.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds demonic.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Will he invite muslim illegals through the doors to be saved or to invade?

[cowboyusa]

What the unholy hellbis this!?

[Skwor]

Where exactly in scripture does it say Jesus and these 4 doors are the way to God?

Where did the inspired doctrinal truth for 4 doors to bypass Christs mercy as a way to heaven come from?

[Salvavida]

And yet ppl will still follow the heretics.

[WKUHilltopper]

How much is he charging to walk thru?

[Big Red Badger]

Agreed...
But What is the Cost of Admission?
The “PaPa” gets 10 percent???

[Campion]

You mean like sola scriptura, the pre-trib rapture, and OSAS?

[bimboeruption]

Only Jesus Christ can save Catholics, or anyone else, from eternal damnation.

I am not starting a debate about the pros and cons of confession. If you want a debate, go start a thread on the Religion Forum.

But a quick internet search confirms that opening or walking through these doors does nothing with regard washing away the stain of mortal sin. Nor is the Church making such a claim.

Removing mortal sin can be achieved only through a valid confession, holy unction, and/or perfect contrition.

The headline is fake news.

[LisaFab]

Exactly. The holy doors are opened every 25 years.

The title of the article is either written by someone totally stupid or ignorant. In Latin Porta can mean depending on context either door or gate, it is the same way in Italian, porta means door or gate. The Holy Door of Saint Peters which is only opened for Jubilee years was opened last night for the first time since 2000 when Pope John Paul II opened it.

The message of this years, like all jubilees is for Catholics to first embrace the forgiveness (go to the Sacrament of Confession] and then seek reconciliation with each other (family members, friends, or parishioners that maybe we have had a fallen out with].

Open the Vatican to Immigrants from across the World.
Worst Commie Pope in my lifetime.

[Campion]

Let's review some basics:

1. Walking through the "holy doors", or actually the pilgrimage necessary to get to them, combined with meeting the "usual conditions" (a good confession, the devout reception of holy communion, and prayers for the intention of the Pope) earns one an indulgence. (Note for the Protestant fire-breathers: there is no charge; it is completely free.)
2. An indulgence frees one from purgatory. Since only the saved can even get to purgatory, it has nothing to do with "avoiding eternal damnation".
3. Why would the Daily Mail get something so basic so completely wrong? Well, it's a secular paper in a traditionally anti-Catholic, and now just plain anti-Christian, country. Don't worry, they hate evangelicals as much as they hate Catholics. Muslims, on the other hand ...

[eastforker]

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.

[Campion]

Yes, and Catholics know that. Now if the Daily Mail could be convinced to get a clue somewhere.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

No. They are biblical, unlike the many portals heresy.
