Nobody is following *a faith*, a religion. We're following Christ.
I also find that that those that gave up the Catholic faith were totally ignorant of it to start with. Poorly catechised is the main reason. No “devout” Catholic would give up their faith. Just ain’t happen.
No devout Catholic would give up Catholicism. I don't doubt that. However, we know exactly what we're rejecting and the claims made by the Catholic church are not supported by Scripture. We're rejecting following a religion.
And I would suspect the reason that the worse Catholic bashers are lapsed Catholics is because deep inside they they know they did the wrong thing to leave the church, so they lash out at and make fun of anything and everything Catholic.........instead of getting on with their new faith.
Well, I will tell you here and now, you're wrong. Nobody is feeling guilty about leaving Catholicism. It's hard to feel guilt about leaving the bondage of a works based religion that doesn't even guarantee what it promises.
“Well, I will tell you here and now, you’re wrong. Nobody is feeling guilty about leaving Catholicism”.
Then why do you bash Catholicism with all these long diatribes? Always, and I mean always, telling others how wrong Catholicism is, and never once saying Catholics do anything right.
I will say it a millions times over, a devout Catholic would never leave the Catholic Church to follow any other faith.
And Jimmy Swaggart can say you don’t have to belong to any Church to be a follower of Jesus, just watch his TV program, till he’s blue in the face, does not make it true.
Have a good day.
which claims aren't supported by the scriptures given to you by the Catholic church???
rejecting following a religion founded by Christ Himself, on the Apostles.....for one founded by Luther, wesley, Calvin, Knox, Henry VIII, joseph Smith, Parkham, William Booth London, or maybe Aimee semple Mcpherson??????
