I think a lot of people who like posting criticisms of other faiths are desperately seeking attention, too.

Yes, I image people like this lead sad and lonely inconsequential lives and posting inflammatory posts on social media is the only attention they get. Really sad.

Uh..it’s based on the life of actor, director Chazz Palminteri who grew up in the Bronx.

It has to suck to be you right now.

As a Catholic, we know Christianity didn’t exist until Martin Luther and the creation of 40,000 Protestant churches.

One nice thing about being Catholic is that they can greet each other at the liquor store.

Unlike Baptists..

I used to see the Baptists at the beer store stocking up before the football game started after church.

This was one of my favorite Carlin routines:

As Puerto Ricans began to move into our neighborhood, the diocese, in this rare display of tokenism in the early Fifties sent one Spanish priest...Father Rivera...to hear Spanish confessions.

And all the Irish guys that were heavily into puberty... would go to confession to Father Rivera. ‘Cause he didn’t seem to understand the sins, y’know...or at least he didn’t take them personally, you know. It wasn’t an affront to him. There was no big theological harangue; he didn’t chew you out. He was known as a “light penance”.

In and out, three “Hail, Mary’s”, you’re back on the street with Father Rivera, man. You could see the line move; that’s how fast he was working.

Because Hollywood films "based on real events" or "inspired by a true story" equal the Gospels in their veracity.

I like to get mine from the news where the Catholic Church has been funding the illegal invasion of my country for the past 30 years, never mind the Priests diddling the little boys...

The same one where they never attack the democrats for violating catholic doctrine. I could go on...

My favorite Catholic joke.....

The boy tells the priest, “Father I’m afraid I’ve been with a loose girl.”

“Hmm, ok son, what was the girls name?”

“Oh I can’t say.”

“Was it Mary Jane?”

“No Father.”

“Adalina Mozarelli?”

“My lips are sealed.”

“How about Cindy King”

“I can never say.”

“Oh come on boy, I’ll find out soon enough. It was Tina King wasn’t it!?”

“No.”

“It has to be Tracy Cummings though!”

“Father I will never tell you.”

“Ok fine, but for your sin you can’t be alter boy for four months.”

“Ok, Father”

The boy leaves and his friend asks, “So what’d you get?”

The boy responds, “Five good leads, and a four month vacation!”

"Boy's voice: it was great to be Catholic and go to confession. You could start over every week."

The boy does not understand Catholic teaching. A "firm purpose of amendment" is required for absolution and if a person keeps committing the same sins - especially serious ones - to the same priest, he may be denied absolution.

On the other hand, I have heard many Protestant preachers suggest that once you say the so-called "sinner's prayer" you are automatically saved no matter what sins you commit later on. Someone may say, "That isn't the actual teaching," but it sure sounds like it.

You can go through life murdering, raping and stealing as long as you say your sorry you get a free pass to heaven.
Ain't life grand.
That free pass works for Protestants also.
So your good. Figured I’d chime in so you were here all alone posting to yourself.🤡

I start over again several times per day:
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Micah7:18-19
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Romans 6:1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

The Catholic Church did not murder “millions” during it’s “reign of terror,” which I assume refers to the Spanish Inquisition. You need to educate yourself, and “Bearing False Witness: Debunking Centuries of Anyi-Catholic History” by Rodney Stark would be a good place to start. Bearing false witness is a sin, you know. But are you already “saved,” so don’t need to worry about sin?

And he probably only had to go to school for 5 days.
He got two days to goof off.

The Beast system seems like a much better deal that God’s system, hey Vespa?
