At today’s Angelus in St. Peter’s Square Francis asked faithful not to be “fooled by false messiahs” and invited them to think of their “many Christian brothers and sisters who suffer persecution because of their faith...Francis called for “discernment” and urged faithful to “understand the difference between the spirit of the Lord and the spirit of evil.” “Take heed that you not be deceived. Many will come in my name,” Francis said.
Many have indeed come. Bergoglio is #265. 266 if we count Peter.

Are you familiar with what Christ did to insure that his Church survive before he died?
He breathed on the apostles, giving them the authority, as the first Bishops, to forgive sin and perform other sacraments.
I know that’s not how most non-Catholics look at that Scripture reading, but these Popes are apostolic descendants of Peter and of Christ .
Where do you get this misinformation?
You are right. Christians don’t believe in the diety of of the apostles...nor do we believe in the priesthood. The bible teaches that believers are all priests. Catholics that use traditions of the church should be careful. The bible condemns those that add or take away from it.
Jesus sent out the apostles so that they could make more disciples. In John 20 Jesus is teaching us to go out and share the gospel. Share the law with the sinner...and share grace with truly repentant.
I reject the apostolic descendents arguments. Is it not self-evident that this line of thinking is incorrect? They just VOTED in a new pope!
Oh by the way...former catholic here.
So are you saying that you do not believe Paul’s letters to Timothy about how Bishops, deacons and priests should conduct themselves?
Why to non-Catholics not believe these parts of the Bible?
Clearly they show that Paul ordained Bishops and priests and gave the parameters for their conduct.
So why aren’t you believing St. Paul?
I dont believe in your interpretation of those readings.
Do you believe in Jesus said in Matthew 28?

It’s not my interpretation. It’s the interpretation of the Catholic Church.
Catholics don’t do YOPIOS — Your Own Personal Interpretation Of Scripture.
LOL!
according to scripture...amongst believers...there is no difference in our authority and our power of the Holy Spirit.
I dont need the catechism of the church or church traditions to teach me what scripture says. I’m indwelled with the Holy Spirit.
But you said you were a Catholic. Please find a priest that you can sit down with and get your questions answered.
Another thing — Many parishes run a class for returning Catholics — no judgment involved. Our program is called Catholics Can Come Home Again.
1280 Baptism imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual sign, the character, which consecrates the baptized person for Christian worship. Because of the character Baptism cannot be repeated (cf. DS 1609 and DS 1624).

1317 Confirmation, like Baptism, imprints a spiritual mark or indelible character on the Christian's soul; for this reason one can receive this sacrament only once in one's life. |
