Adjust?
I’ll adjust my sights! I hope that’s what he means.

If the clergy of this church spent more time preaching the free enterprise and Commandment-compliant lessons of the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew chapter 20), and less time preaching the social justice gospel of Marx, the culture would not have slid as farm.
Also, if this church had upheld its own teachings with respect to publicly shaming members who use their public office to undermine and oppose the sanctity of life, we would not be where we are today, irrespective of how good a Christian that Nancy Pelosi considers herself to still be.

Sounds more like the enemy within.

All you need to do is search on dagon priest and you will see they wore that same hat. The RCC incorporated lots of pagan symbols to attract pagans into Christianity. Catholicism is an amalgamation of pagan and Christian.

**The reality is that ironically, it is becoming more like the Church was in the time of John Paul II in Poland under Communism where you [Christians] lived in a very hostile environment. We still have the First Amendment of our Constitution but that is being sorely tested.**
I’m wondering if the folks in arms will not rise up against the oncoming tyranny.

**fish god dagon.**

(BTW, it’s called a mitre — please can you be a little respectful of fellow Christians?

Those who preach another gospel are not fellow Christians.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8-9
Did the apostles teach the assumption of Mary, praying to saints, or the perpetual virginity of Mary? The RCC preaches another gospel.

It is a silly claim. There is no solid evidence that the papal mitre was used before about the 10th century, and it probably originated in Rome. The dagon cult was an ancient Middle Eastern cult, and I doubt there were many dagon believers waiting to be converted in 10th century Rome. Even if the hat resembles a dagon hat, there is no link between the two nor any implied worship of an ancient fish god.

Catholics do not preach another Gospel.
What do you know about the Assumption of Mary? All the Apostles were bi-located to her bedside as she died.
I know you won’t believe this, but it IS written down.
The Catholics gave you the Bible. Be thankful.

Of course not. Nor are any of the other pagan beliefs, vestments, and symbols used by the RCC. Its all just a coincidence. Right?

it is becoming more like the Church was in the time of John Paul II in Poland under Communism where you [Christians] lived in a very hostile environment. This is why I think the Fatima - Russia Consecration to the Immaculate Heart was never done properly. Although Russia itself has reduced or eliminated its persecution of Christianity and even in some respects encourages it, the old Russia still continues to "spread her errors".

Misinterpreted, taken out of context, anti-Catholic press, Catholic haters coming out of the woodwork.
Am I missing any?
