To my Protestant brothers and sisters:
It's time to come back to Mother Church. We want you, we need you, we love you.
I've spent a lot of time in dialogue with activist atheists recently, and the direction we are going is not pretty. We are witnessing a rapid cultural decline into amorality.
Satan seeks the ruin of souls through the destruction of marriage and family, and the quickest route to his goal is the profanation of sex. The truth and meaning of human sexuality is our era's cultural fault line, and unfortunately, Protestant denominations have been tumbling into its widening crevace at an alarming pace.
The first cracks denying the sacred nature of human sexuality began mere decades ago with the first tentative acceptance of contraception by a Christian church (the Anglicans). After 1,900+ years of unbroken Christian teaching on the immorality of contraception (including 400+ years of unbroken Protestant teaching), a moral evil was suddenly declared good. The entirety of Protestantism, although horrified at first, soon followed suit.
"Woe to those who call evil good" -- Isaiah 5:20
Then came other issues -- sterilization, masturbation, abortion, fornication and cohabiting, homosexual activity and homosexual "marriage". One by one, Protestant communities have broken from Christian teaching and sided with the secular culture. Many Protestant communities do not accept all the aforementioned evils as good, of course, and some are making a valiant attempt to fight one or more of them. However, there is no guarantee that those denominations won't eventually accept other sexual sins in the same way they accepted contraception, sterilization and masturbation. A majority vote by church leaders could launch an unsuspecting Protestant from the Spirit of the Gospel right into the spirit of the age -- the Planned Parenthood age.
Look where you are standing. Unless you stand with the Catholic Church, you may already have one foot off the cliff.
How to guarantee that you'll stand firmly on the ground of moral Truth? Come back home to the Catholic Church.
For over two thousand years:
The Catholic Church has never taught that contraception is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that sterilization is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that masturbation is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that abortion is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that fornication is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that homosexual activity is a moral good, and she never will.
The moral teachings of the Church have never changed, and they never will.
Human sexuality is transcendent, life-giving and sacred, and the Catholic Church will teach that Truth till the last day.
Dear Protestant, a church with a changing morality is a church built on shifting sand. If you want to build your life and eternity on something solid, build it on the Rock of Peter. Don't be carried about by every wind of social change; come back to the Catholic Church and stand strong with us -- one united Body as Jesus intended.
America may not survive many more generations at the rate we are going, but the Church and her teachings will stand regardless, speaking the same Truths, undisturbed, till the end of time. Believe me, it's a really nice place to be in a storm. Extremely peaceful.
So, come on. You'll like it here, living in peace and joy and certainty. It's your rightful home anyway.
Come back to Holy Mother Church. It really is time.
and these people learned of Christ, other than through the Catholic Church......how??? there was no other source of Christian knowledge and teaching than the Catholic church...
But YOU say that someone MUST tell Mary the problem; THEN she will tell her Son the problem and push it to the head of the line in front of them puny prayers that ONLY go directly to Jesus.
You think the Cathars were Christians?
Really?
The dates are not relevant, as i did not state these were current, but expressed that RCs submission in one place and time does not mean it is the same in another - thus sects as the SSPX - for indeed, Rome is an autocratic org.
Yet if you dared to read much of what i posted, you should have seen the dates "Pope Alexander IV (1254-1261)," "the 1914 Catholic Encyclopedia," " the following decree, issued 8 March, 1625," "the decree of Propaganda, 7 Feb., 1645," while i trust you know the era of the Baltimore Catechism, and the Quinisext Ecumenical Council was held in 692.
As for a live link, if you use Firefox or Pale Moon as a smart FReeper will, then you can either select a link and choose to open in new tab, or select text and choose to search it. And i actually provided the CE which refutes the "out of context" charge on “Sextus Decretalium.
That's right. It began at Pentecost and continues to this day. So sorry the fundie contingent wasn't present in the upper room.

I'm sorry you were confused because I failed to attribute the second to ELSIE
I am the Immaculate Conception.
Again; what is the GIFT am I lacking??
But, in delivering the message, they may affect the lawyer’s course of action.
You want it AGAIN?
Wesleyan...
Roe v. Wade was a challenge to an already existing statute in Texas Roe v. Wade case brief
Brief Fact Summary. Appellant Jane Roe, a pregnant mother who wished to obtain an abortion, sued on behalf of all woman similarly situated in an effort to prevent the enforcement of Texas statutes criminalizing all abortions except those performed to save the life of the mother.
I really wish prots would learn some actual history instead of making it up as they go along.
nope...if you were baptized by anyone...you were baptized Catholic...no other possibility....and yes, you can be saved if you were unaware of Christ and His saving sacrifice...God would never condemn those who didn't know.
Then your lawyer is useless.
Get a Nurse Practioner to prescribe your medicine dosage next time.
