>>The first Christian Martyr. Acts 7:60
St. Stephen is in Rome in the Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls.<<
Can you explain this one? You do know Stephen was martyred in Jerusalem. Was he transported to Rome immediately. Or did someone dig up his bones later (not very Christian) and move him to Rome?
Also where are you guys storing the supposed “Holy Prepuce” these days? Last I heard someone stole it.
So the nun is missing out on body parts and bones.
Amazing.

For those detractors of the Catholic Church who say that numbers are irrelevant, they are in effect, saying that Satan is winning souls and that GOD is losing souls.
WHAT??
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Catholics worship Mary.
Why? She was a really poor example...
1 Corinthians 7:5-6
Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer.
Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
It appears that Rome's Mary was not a very good Christian!
Poor ol' frustrated Joseph!
NEVER gets to CONSUMMATE his marriage!
Mocked by his friends!!
Has to listen, for at least 12 years, "Not tonight, Joe. I have a headache."

They do it by following the teachings handed down to the Apostles by Jesus Christ and preserved in the church he established.And, amazingly, they've managed to ADD all sorts of things that was NEVER done in the early days!

Your First Pope called CONDEMNED by his fellow Catholics...
Galatians 2:11
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

Some people take it personally.There are 10 kinds of people in the world.
Those that understand binary numbers; and those that do not.

Arthur this is a forum not a confessional.
1 John 5:13-15
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
My child; you may THINK you know what that verse means; but you CAN rely upon what the Church has taught you.
Go and sin no more.
Listening to Protestants will only confuse you.

We know from the many authentic Relics that the Catholic Church has in its possession...
Economic effect[edit]
As holy relics attracted pilgrims and these religious tourists needed to be housed, fed, and provided with souvenirs, relics became a source of income not only for the destinations that held them, but for the abbeys, churches, and towns en route. Relics were prized as they were portable.[22] They could be possessed, inventoried, bequeathed, stolen, and smuggled. They could add value to an established site or confer significance on a new location.[23] Offerings made at a site of pilgrimage were an important source of revenue for the community who received them on behalf of the saint.[24]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic#Economic_effect
Further, the council insists that "in the invocation of saints the veneration of relics and the sacred use of images, every superstition shall be removed and all filthy lucre abolished."
"Most offensive", he writes, "was the worship of relics.
Nevertheless it remains true that many of the more ancient relics duly exhibited for veneration in the great sanctuaries of Christendom or even at Rome itself must now be pronounced to be either certainty spurious or open to grave suspicion.
