I was talking about that one, too.
Evidently the alternate reality perspective necessitates new glasses for . . . some . . .
I could say the very same thing about you just now.
Evidently. I hope you get help soon.
Ann, it’s not that we don’t LIKE Catholics. We like the truth and there are so many falsehoods and heresies in the Mormon and Catholic faiths that when we point them out, you have a fit. We don’t believe in infant baptism as a salvation experience. It’s a command to believe and be baptized for sure, but infant baptism has nothing to do with your salvation. Receiving Christ into your life as your Lord and Saviour IS.
We will never agree.
Hah!
We like the truth and there are so many falsehoods and heresies in the Mormon and Catholic faiths that when we point them out, you have a fit.
But your "facts" are so wrong.
Just in this thread you've joked that St. Christopher was kicked out of the sainthood but we still sell the prayer cards . . . anything to make a buck, I guess...smile.
That's all wrong. Are you even concerned whether you're right or wrong? Do you even care that you're impugning the motives of about a billion people, on false information?
Please do not distort the meanings of my words FRiend. I clearly indicated in the post you replied to (that I’m replying to now) that the Church was never the Roman Empire. This was to make the point to proudtobeanamerican1 that “I do not reject the authority of the Church simply because the Roman Empire persecuted early Christians.”
My point was/is that the Church was never the Roman Empire. This is historical fact. Perhaps I shouldn’t have used the phrase “never a political body”, but this was clearly modified/clarified by the phrase “never the Roman Empire”.
Nah, she didn’t. She was a good catholic, had 12 children!

Suuuure.
Make it 14. What the heck.
I’ll hazard this assertion . . .
Relatively early on . . . unable to constrain himself any longer . . . and in response to assaults on
beliefs,
ideas,
habits,
practices,
and the like . . .
the usual culprit began to repeatedly let loose with
fiercely pointedly personal, personhood assaults.
That’s this Protty’s memory of that thread . . . and I’ll hazard, the memory of most Prottys . . . what say ye, Prottys?
However, I understand the dynamics of selective perception and don’t need to get into a protracted go around on it. I just wished to note the more REALITY BASED perspective, for the record.
Nah, she finally discovered what caused them...
I noted your qualification.
I do think it’s important to stress the political nature of the power-mongering elite in all RELIGIOUS organizations. It’s part of what makes RELIGION so deadly—of any flavor.
No, she actually did have 12 children. Can’t even count the grandkids and great grandkids.
I noted your qualification—silently, to myself.
The facts according to Petronski are wrong.
First hand, apparently.
I just wished to note the more REALITY BASED perspective, for the record.
Let me know when you make the attempt.
Do not make this thread about individual Freepers.
If you are referring to the Catholic Church, you are wrong.
Don’t write me again...EVER....or I will report you again.
