Wow, I really don't know when I have become so irate over an article with absolutely no backbone and no Scriptural backing. Where are all the verse proving his blatant lies? He apparently doesn't study the Bible well enough to miss over all the important stuff...like the Mass and establishing Peter as the Vicar of Christ, but then again, you can nitpick pretty much anything you don't want to see in the Bible. It's kind of like closing your eyes and denying that there is a computer monitor sitting right in front of you...even though you have to look at it to read this post.
And, hey, it is Lent. We ARE due for more persecution anyway (Along with the Discovery Special: Lost Tomb of Jesus)?
In a way, though, I am slightly grateful for reading it (having the patience and all), it completely reinforced everything I believe. Good day.

I don't remember if it was this posted article or another I read...But someone made a reasonable point...
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the Catholic church and Constantine who joined Christianity with Paganism and now most Christians love the Pagan Holiday, Christmas and the Other one, Easter...
It's been said by numerous Catholics here on FR that there's nothing wrong with celebrating these Pagan Holidays as long as they are used for worshipping Jesus...
I have even been in Protestant churches where they have a decorated Christmas tree during the Christman Holdays which is cleary a Pagan practice...
But in view of your 'pope Peter' statement, what do you think of this thought???
Jesus would not start a Church and then allow the gates of hell to conquer it by adopting pagan religious practices. No, Jesus would keep his Church pure and free from all evil and sin.
So, do the Gates of Hell prevail against churchs that celebrate Easter and acknowledge a Pagan Holiday by celebrating Jesus' birthday on that Satanic day knowing Jesus wasn't born on that day??? Do you guys color easter eggs which of course has it's origin connected to a Satanic fertility ritual???
