The Primacy of Peter

The Catholic Church needs to stop glorifying and praising mere men and get back to the Primacy of Jesus Christ.

Please desist in claiming that the Catholic Church does NOT hold the deity of Christ above the Pope.

Jesus knew he was going to be killed, rather crucifieed, so he needed to choose a leader.

The Catholic Liturgy is centered on the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Rread the Nicene Creed said at Mass.

The first part of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Word, which includes readings from the Old Testament, New Testament (on Sundays and special days) and a Gospel from one of the evangelists. I daresay — at least from my own experience of being in a Protestant Church — that Catholics hear and are preached to on the Word of God much more often that Protestants are. BTW, I felt terribly uncomfortable in that Protestant Church (Alliance Church) because absolutely NO HOLY SCRIPTURE was read by anyone at all.

The second part of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Again this is totally centered on Jesus Christ and doing as He instructed “Do this in Memory of Me.” The transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is totally awesome, if one understands (or is willing to understand what is happening.)

Have you attended a Catholic Mass? If you haven’t you in no way can make this judgment that Catholics do not hold Jesus Christ, the Son, God the Father and the Holy Spirit above all else.

So, again, please desits, I ask politely, until you have attended a Catholic Mass and know for yourself what really happens.

In other words, could the propaganda you have been given all these years about the Catholic Church or the papcy be WRONG? Heaven forbid! LOL! (Because it is!) Come to a Catholic Mass and find out for yourselves!
