Absolutely disgusting, union!
Blind, foolish, care nothing for souls only their stuff and their status.
Thank God He is the one that must open their blind eyes if He chooses to. They make me sick!
protestants put too much emphasis on "things" that the Catholic church owns....statuary, pictures, buildings, ducuments...whatever....if you don't like it, ignore it...it has nothing to do with you, but the "revolution" destroyed a very large percentage of what the true church possessed.
those acts of barbarism, even more destructive than the Taliban, accomplished nothing and caused immeasurable harm to society by depriving the world of virtually immeasureable art objects.
Ah, so it is ok to burn people at the stake for heresy, so long as they didn’t steal the church in which they committed their heresy....
But they did that too. The Cathars had their lives and their lands taken.
All because the Pope claimed authority over the mind of man. Shameful.
“The biggest beam of all is in your eye, vlad, if you think for one moment anything of this life is worth a second’s worry.”
Did it take you more than a second to fill out your insurance forms? Seriously, hypocrisy makes someone less than credible. Learn.
“None of it will be in existence for long and it sure won’t carry over to the next world.”
Yep, it is all passing. But while we are here it matters to those who labored to make it, gave it, cared for it, inherited it, and lost it or were robbed of it. Jesus knew the Temple would be destroyed. He still paid the Temple tax. He still worshipped there. It mattered to Jews. Out churches matter to us.
“More and more every day, I see the petty concerns of this godawful religion called Catholicism. Satan has billions right where he wants them...straight on the road to hell.”
I think you’re only speaking of yourself. Hypocrisy.
Moses was, I thought, responsible for its destruction.
He must have been an iconoclast!
Protestant burned many. Calvin himself ordered burnings. And all those poor witches in Protestant Germany!!! :-<
“Blind, foolish, care nothing for souls only their stuff and their status.”
What amazes me is how anti-Catholics can just make up stuff like that.
They are works of human hands - absolutely - but then they are dedicated to the use of Christ’s Church. They are not mere artworks like secular artworks. They serve a much greater purpose. That’s why YHWH commanded beautiful things to be made for the Temple.
So by your argument when Obama claims that the Senate is in recess to exercise a recess appointment, that means that they are not both part of the government. After all they have different perogatives, right?
Or medieval church and state shared government and authority over the people , and disputed over what share each should have. They were different faces of the same coin.
you've never seen a protestant church???....hard to believe!
Terycarl,
Catholicism is second in revulsion to me only next to Islam. And, truthfully, it is worse than Islam because it claims to be Christian and is anything but. At least Islam doesn’t claim to be anything other than what it is.
“Roman Catholics have a form of godliness, but deny its power.”
No truer words have I ever heard regarding this satanic religion. Billions of people being led astray and some of the most vicious and vociferous ones right here on this forum.
The day Catholics care as much about souls as they do religion or art or dead saints will be a praiseworthy day indeed.
I feel nothing but disgust towards everything related to Catholicism!
Doubtless many were burned.
But it is a bit rich for you to complain about the execution of Thomas More for religious reasons when he was an enthsiastic murderer of heretics.

That sounds like a red herring logical fallacy TC. What I hear is that you can’t prove a single soul was lost.
“Your argument is simplistic.”
Yeah. Disagree.
If you only knew, pax, you’d be just as disgusted.
Never have I seen a group more in need of cleansing and washing in the blood of Christ than Catholics.
The stench reaches all the way to heaven!
Yeah, well. It is.
“Thank God He is the one that must open their blind eyes if He chooses to. They make me sick!”
I understand the temptation, but Christ loves them. He is capable of reaching any sinner - even the kind that believes they are righteous, like the Apostle Paul.
