This board is a platform for discussion. I have been a member since 1999, but not with my newer screen name. What is your point?
Conservative does not equal Roman Catholic 9though many of the RC's herein wish to use it as a platform to promote their cult. If you do not know the proper definition of cult, it is a religion with human leaders who are the definers of all their propaganda and liturgy.
As a long time Christian, who took the time to study the Bible in a College setting, I have a good foundation and with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I can find all truth without calling on Rome to help me. The RCC presents a Gospel message at odds for which Christ lived and died, to be resurrected and provide the Holy Spirit as our helper along this pathway to eternity.
YMMV!
Galatians 1: 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Yes, this board is for conservatives, but I don’t see any conservatives calling for death to those who speak whatever is considered heresy against their particular religion. That is not a conservative value.

” For calling the pope the anti-christ and changing the Bible, he should have been executed as a heretic.”
What bloodlust......
It’s alarming to think that there are even today, still Catholics (and certainly there have been more than one) who think that *heretics* (those who disagree with the Catholic church) should be killed.
Clearly the Inquisition and the mentality behind it is not dead.
Thank God for the Constitution of this country which reins in the corrupt institutions that abuse their power to kill people who disagree with them and protects those people from those who would torture and kill them, all for their own good of course, the good of their soul.
Another one for your list, gamecock. More Catholics who think that killing people who disagree with Catholicism is the right thing to do. It may be the Catholic thing to do, but it isn’t the Christian thing to do.
And Catholics wonder why people don’t embrace their religion with open arms...
