There are newspaper reports all over the world showing people worshiping the Pope and what they think is Mary, yet you and other RCC watchdogs deny their existence. These things are not a matter of doctrine and do not need to be defended. Purgatory is one of several doctrines of the RCC that I do not find in Scripture. If it’s there, show me.

Oh, and your presumption to know what I will or will not do IF you were to reveal the Biblical source for this doctrine is another common practice of RCC watchdogs. But presumption is a sin - moght put you in purgatory.

Okay, post them.

“... and what they think is Mary, yet you and other RCC watchdogs deny their existence.”

I don’t deny the existence of newspapers, but I do deny the existence of that which does not exist. If these stories in newspapers about worshiping the pope existed you would be able to post them here. Can you?

“These things are not a matter of doctrine and do not need to be defended.”

What? Worshiping the pope would not be a matter of doctrine and would not need to be defended? Are you kidding?

“Purgatory is one of several doctrines of the RCC that I do not find in Scripture. If it’s there, show me.”

First show me where the pope is worshiped by Catholics. I asked for evidence of this repeatedly. I see no reason to answer your questions until you finally answer mine.

“Oh, and your presumption to know what I will or will not do IF you were to reveal the Biblical source for this doctrine is another common practice of RCC watchdogs.”

No, it’s just a matter of common sense. The simple and irrefutable fact is that anti-Catholics are notoriously predictable.

“But presumption is a sin - moght put you in purgatory.”

No, presumption of actions of anti-Catholics on the part of Catholics is not a sin. I can presume all I want about your actions based upon past experiences. What I can’t do is be presumptious about God. You’re not God - as you demonstrate again and again in every post. You apparently don’t even know what presumption is. Go figure.
