I’m not a practicing Catholic any more but many members of my family are. One nice thing about being Catholic is that they can greet each other at the liquor store.
People like to make up what they want the Catholic Church to be
Why should you always take two Baptists fishing?
If you take just one Baptist, he’ll drink all your beer; if you take two, they won’t drink any.
Anyone that gets their understanding of Catholicism (or any religion) from the movies should not put their ignorance on public display.
Do you never get tired of stirring things up?
Maybe you should spend more time praying and less online.
What a stale joke.
You’re going to hell for that one. After, of course, you’re done soul sleeping.
You do understand the concept of comedy, don’t you?
I don't recommend you get your Catholic cathechism from Hollywood films.
That’s how Catholic kids explained it to me growing up. Of course I was going to hell anyway because I didn’t believe the same malarkey they did...
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.
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?
You know who else hates it? Old Scratch.
From one who belongs to a church that considers all others heretics and murdered millions during her reign of terror.
"SDAs ... we make a big deal about keeping the Sabbath, but throw the Commandment about 'not bearing false witness against thy neighbor' right into the trash where it belongs. Of course, Romanists aren't really our neighbors anyway, so who cares what kind of malarkey we make up about them?"
You know, the one that calls for Sunday to be a legal holiday.
Oh, you mean like it was pretty much everywhere in the 1950s? Yes, that would be truly horrible. Giving people the day off on Sundays is truly the devil's work. It's a wonder we even survived those dark days.
Protestants don't believe Mary was a virgin
Baptists don't believe they see their fellow congregation members at the liquor store
Who is “drunk Ellen White”?
Jesus forgives. Ellen White chooses who He forgives.
Priests do not choose, they only forgive. If you are disingenuous, it serves you nothing.
Priests forgive in God’s name, not theirs. Priests consecrate the Eucharist in Hod’s name, not their sinful name.
A Hollywood movie. Wow, an unimpeachable source of information for questions about religion!
Catholics man. It’s absolute nonsense that you can confess your sins to another man and be forgiven. That’s a personal conversation between your savior. Not some guy dressed up like a penguin. The whole idea of confessional at the beginning was for population control. Catholics need to wake up to this nonsense, dog and pony show.
