1. The first acts of the Church was to abolish the Jewish circumcision and dietetic laws (Acts 15).
Wrong. Read it again. It wasn't a requirement to be circumcised. Acts 15:24. No recording of Jesus or the Disciples of eating pork or shrimp. And I guarantee you it would be recorded because they were under constant surveillance. It did say abstain from foods polluted by idols and strangled (not bled out) animals. Nothing on clean versus unclean foods. That will be covered later.

1. The Jewish Law was to circumcise men (Genesis 17:11). The Catholic Church abolished it. (Act 15).

2. I like to pray to God, and God alone, in the company of Mary my Mother and with the rosary in my hand. My Church approves. You disapprove? Bite me.

3. I love Mary and would give her all the energy I have because Jesus loves her, not because of “requirements”. And again, who are you to teach me anything?

4. Regardless of how you (who are you, anyway?) interpret Rev. 12 (which speaks of mother of Christ anyway), Jesus gave us a kingdom of Heaven. Kingdoms have a king, that’s Him, and also they have a Queen, that is her.

5. Jesus wouldn’t wear a crucifix, He “wore” the very Cross. For the disciples, see Galatians again and don’t tell me Paul wrote just of their imagination when he wrote “before whose eyes”. And again, since when what people wear is a definitive content of their religion?

6. I gave you Bible references for Hail Mary. When I pray, I don’t quote the Bible, usually, anyway, and I pray to saints often because they are alive.

7. Paul said about celibacy that he wishes everyone were like him, celibate. The Church knows the limits as well: if you don’t want to be a priest, you are free to marry.

9. Yes, Peter denied Christ, and Christ forgave him and still told him to “pastor His sheep”. We had worse popes than that. The point was not that Peter was free from sin, but that he was the first pope functionally.

10. Selling of indulgences was an innovation that was forbidden by the Church in a timely fashion.

11. It is indeed NOT all right to burn a man alive for his moral convictions. That is why we don’t do it anymore.
