***A church of men who claim that their church is of Jesus Christ. ***

We have history and the documentation of the last 2000 years. What claims do you have?

It is still only the history and documentation as recorded by those who claim it to be true.

***Did he speak to you in an audible voice? ***

No, I don’t hear the voices. I understand that there is treatment for audio psychosis. Have you availed yourself of it?

Then how do you know he said it?

***Catechism written by the same men who say their church in the one and only church. ***

I’m sorry to break the news to you that the Church of Christ is the Church of Christ. Commissioned by the Holy Spirit. Who founded your church?

It is still Catechism written by men.

***You were at a Pentecost? ***

I understand there to be only one Pentecost. I was not at it; perhaps you were at some of the ones that you understand there to be. Are you Christian, by the way?

If you were not at Pentecost, how do you know what was said there?

***He was at Pentecost also? ***

The Holy Spirit commissioned the Church at Pentecost. I’m sorry if you don’t have any Scriptural knowledge.

How do you know that?
You already said that you weren't there.

***Then why does he sit on a throne holding a scepter and wear a crown on his head and have people kneel before him and kiss his feet?***

Who? The Pope? He doesn’t wear a crown. Who kisses the Pope’s feet? Are you well?

Why are you avoiding the question?
Kissing the Pope's Toe

***Will he wash my feet?***

He is the servant of the servants of God. If you are a servant of God, then he may. If you are a servant of the brightest angel, as you seem to indicate, then he probably will not.

How does he know that, those who he thinks are the servants God, are not really just the brightest angels?


Your tagline says: "I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so."

Have you not placed your faith in the Catholic Church?

Can they save you from damnation?

I see. So you would dismiss the Bible as well? It is the history and documentation of those who claim it to be true.

***No, I don’t hear the voices. I understand that there is treatment for audio psychosis. Have you availed yourself of it?

I believe in the message of Jesus Christ. I am not Gnostic, as many Protestants seem to be.

***I’m sorry to break the news to you that the Church of Christ is the Church of Christ. Commissioned by the Holy Spirit. Who founded your church?

Authorized by the Holy Spirit. You didn’t answer the question.

***I understand there to be only one Pentecost. I was not at it; perhaps you were at some of the ones that you understand there to be. Are you Christian, by the way?

If you were not at Pentecost, how do you know what was said there? ***

Scripture and the Church tell me. You didn’t answer the question.

***Who? The Pope? He doesn’t wear a crown. Who kisses the Pope’s feet? Are you well?

Why are you avoiding the question?
Kissing the Pope’s Toe***

What is the crown that you claim the Pope wears and who kisses his toe? Try some other sources than hysterical sites.

***He is the servant of the servants of God. If you are a servant of God, then he may. If you are a servant of the brightest angel, as you seem to indicate, then he probably will not.

How does he know that, those who he thinks are the servants God, are not really just the brightest angels?***

Jesus promised His church. If you do not follow His Church, then what are His promises to you? The brightest angel prowls like a lion seeking devour all that he can. Much of what is referred to as Christianity has fallen under his influence. Women bishops; homosexual marriages and denial of transubstantiation. There are so many who call themselves Christian who fall into this category.

***Your tagline says: “I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.”***

A quote from St. Augustine. The premiere Doctor of the Church. Are you that unlearned that you do not know of this quote?

***Have you not placed your faith in the Catholic Church?

Can they save you from damnation?**

The Church is the creation of Jesus Christ. I do not dare to reject His gifts to all mankind and to me specifically. Do you count yourself among those?

The source for "kissing the Pope's toe" is Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894

Do you expect to be taken seriously when you make claims like this?
