I spent MY time reading the WORD unfiltered by a bunch of control freaks ...
Christ declared in Mark 13:23
Mark 13:23 (KJV) states: “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.”
This was how many years before Aquinas got in on the ‘act’?
Anything you all worship of Aquinas is OFFFFF from Christ the Saviour .... because when Christ spoke the words that HE had foretold all things ... catholicism was NOT yet even on the ‘board’ ... sad you all have so much bagggggage to release...
My ‘so-called- ‘anti-Catholic’ pablum is learned first hand ... Oh, Lord, the stories I could recount ...
That's kind of the point about why Christ instituted His Church, because we're incapable of standing on our own. Why do you act like that's a character defect?

You say, without irony, before citing a verse from the King James Version (who wasn't a control freak at all. /s ). I bet you've also never used a single study guide, commentary, or educational reference about Scripture; I'm sure you're *entirely* self-taught...
Mind you, even the KJV relates St. John, at the end of his Gospel, saying quite explicitly that not everything Christ did or said was written down. So what exactly did John omit, since you apparently claim to know all the things that Christ foretold?
This was how many years before Aquinas got in on the ‘act’?
Years before you and I, for one. But in all seriousness, did he write anything about the topic of foreigners (i.e. the actual topic of this thread) that you disagree with?

You have a strange notion of worship. Anyhow, here's Aquinas, famously straying away from Christ: "Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen." - a prayer credited to St Thomas.

This isn't even a counter to anything I've said, because of course the Church didn't yet exist when He said those words; Christ hadn't founded it, yet.

My condolences for whatever bad experiences you've had. But allegedly poor experiences with ostensibly bad Catholics is no excuse to tar every single one with the same brush (because otherwise, I could use my experiences to tar all Protestants, even those of good will). That's just common sense.
