There is zero evidence that Mary Ann Collins (or whatever she’s calling herself now), was ever a Catholic nun.

When I see someone who seems to spend all their waking hours digging up and posting numerous venomous and inaccurate anti-Catholic articles, I just think. “What a sad, sad, person. He or she apparently has experienced some hurt or disappointments in their life to become so obsessively hateful. They surely need our prayers.” And then I pray for them.

A person who won’t clearly identify themselves going on and on about “forged documents”. Thanks for my heart-healthy laugh of the day.

I was going to post an *In before attacking the messenger* but I see that it took to only the second post to do that.

I guess when someone cannot contest the facts, all they have left in their arsenal is to slander the person, in the hopes that nobody will take them seriously if they can be discredited first.

Pretty predictable.

Pope refers to the Latin title “Pontifex Maxiumus” or great bridge builder, an ancient title of the head of the college of priests of Ancient Rome.

Pontifex Maximus is thus a pagan position, dependent on pagan authority for its precedents, and prerogatives.

Well, it’s sleazy if the “former Catholic nun” angle is a ruse, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the article’s claims about forged documents being used to support the doctrine of the papacy aren’t true. The emphasis on the status of the messenger, the classic “ad hominum” argument, is a way of avoiding the message. Maybe there are solid counter arguments to the claims made in this story, but few - if any - of the critics are telling us what they are.

One other comment - Free Republic is a "grassroots conservative forum" intended to discuss current political and social issues, and current news in general. Yet sometimes people post stuff which - although technically coming from some obscure "news" source - seems primarily intended as a way of fomenting some sort of Catholic vs Protestant rivalry, i.e., as waging a theological battle, or simply of making some sort of theological point unrelated to anything in the news of the day.

These posts come from both sides of that debate, and from differing theological points of view, and I sometimes wonder if they are really appropriate for this forum. Yet the moderators usually allow them, so I guess they are considered ok. My personal problem with them is that they "divide the house," so to speak, and lead to internal squabbling instead of focusing on the left-wing menace that threatens us all.

A former nun is.....someone who quit being a nun and is no longer a nun. A nun is just a Catholic promised to virginity, wed to Christ, not a scholar. So she divorced him.

Pope is human, so not infallible - the church’s teachings are infallible and so when the pope speaks on those, there is infallibility - which is why Catholics are taught not to contracept, kill their babies or elderly, nor death penalty in 1st world countries, nor engage in sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman. Infallible.

No matter how many references you post, no matter how many Catholic sources you cite, it will not be believed and our Catholic friends will 1) ignore it, or 2) claim your a pagan heretic. The Holy Spirit must move the heart.

All you can do is be faithful and keep on posting these excellent and informative articles. :O)

I have the same attitude on this as i do the anti Mormon threads, that is the thread itself is not what i object to but rather some of the sleazy comments it brings from the anti Mormons.

Almost every one agrees with an anti Mormon thread and some of it gets carried away but i do not see it to that extent on an anti Catholic thread.

So i will just say i base my belief of the Gospel on what i understand of the Bible.

I do not have to take the word of some professor who has never walked the walk but only talked the talk.

The ordinary people like the fishermen brought the Gospel straight from Jesus to us, they walked the walk.

And that is good enough for me, No Mormonism, no Catholicism, no religionism period.
