The report of the John Jay Commission was that the sexual abuse rate among priests was 1-2%, ministers 2-3%, and teachers 10%.
I don’t rely on the NYT for information regarding such things.
Just quoting on of your team.
They mock what they fear.
He is becoming a “charismatic Catholic.”
Dime to a dollar that his conversion is temporary.
A megachurch....in Sweden
It depends on the part of the country. Here in the south Catholics make up a very small percentage. We have a very dedicated active parish.
If he sells all his belongings, gives the proceeds to the poor and then follows Jesus, it will greatly improve his credibility.
There goes the neighborhood!!!
If you can’t beat them, join them.... satan!
Same here. That is why I can say with absolute assurance that there are two reasons Catholics become protestants: 1) un-confessed sin
2) Poor catechesis.
Anything else is just rationalization.
The Pope threw Matthew Fox out of the Catholic Church...
Here is an example on how satan joins the church and manipulates people. In my travels studying mind control techniques and religious manipulation I visited this guy several times...... the video shows and explains his rave mass services.
He has no idea what he is doing... It’s not religion.

**i haven’t had tv since 1999 so i don’t know a lot of what’s out there**
I don’t have one either, but from what I’ve seen in ads online, start watching, and you’ll know even less (it’s been very effective at dumbing down the sheeple).

Here is another example of stage hypnosis in a church... The Toronto Blessing Movement....

The Catholic and the Protestant faiths all profess Jesus as the son of God....all baptize. I see no conflict for anyone from these faiths going to heaven, except in those who like Man’s Doctrines more than Gods and deny Jesus is the Son of God.
As an analogy; This reminds me of politics, and the divisive ness that keeps us all from being Americans.
Christians are both Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal and so on. The Jews are God’s chosen family, Jesus was a Jew, and so are Christians through adoption into God’s Kingdom.
Seriously, this sibling rivalry is why we have problems today with terrorists. Jesus said “When all nations draw up against Israel”....that’s a key Biblical statement,that tells us the time and season when Jesus returns to fight Armageddon.
Ishmael was Abraham’s son by Handmaiden Hagar, Isaac was Abraham’s Son by Sarah...Isaac was the child of promise.
Ishamael is considered Mohammed’s ancestor, and Isaac is the Father of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Ishmael got put out to the desert with his mother, and he was jealous of Isaac...hence we have centuries of warfare in the form of fighting over ‘Jerusalem’ for both religions. The PA are just another group of antagonists for land promised by God to Abraham for his descendants, FOREVER. At the right time God will show up to protect his own.
Jealous Rivalry with Bloodshed and Destruction...This religious war is more about Ishmael and Isaac than us.
America represents all the Christian Missionaries who have gone throughout the world to spread Christianity. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and represents the prosperity of freedom. That is offensive to those who live in constant turmoil and bondage.
Islam vs Jews to the death for Jerusalem/Israel.
But weeping and gnashing of teeth, it ain't.
You need to get out more.

It’s an hour and 13 minutes but well worth watching.
It explains how mass hypnosis can be used and they create a *faith healer* using it. It’s a documentary.
I have seen many incidents as this which most of the Pastors are well trained in just how to do this. What is striking is how easily the people literally fall for it.
...But then consider how they ‘set the stage’, getting people into the mood..singing..chanting/praying repetitiously etc. and the peoples willingness to believe anything that happens...and most looking for just that...it's not surprising.
When we open our minds and hearts to “anything and everything” you can be certain the enemy of God is nearby ready to act. As we know...during these end days we are told to expect many 'false' miracles and happenings....people today are ripe for it because they do not know the truth.
big deal..most of them are false preachers anyways.
