Merely an observation that Catholics will believe anything their bosses tell them without them checking the actual facts...

More bigotry. Have you ever read any of my posts about the current Pope? You know nothing about Catholics or Catholicism. You only hate.

Apparently you don't know what bigotry means...Oh well...

I find it saddening but not surprising that a Catholic priest would teach such blatant false doctrine to his people...

Again, you said,

But who said that repenting and being baptized are INSEPARABLE? Nobody. Ever.

Repenting is NOT part of the sacrament of Baptism.

There IS a caveat here...If one gets baptized, he/she must first repent...However, repentance does not require (water) baptism...

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Your first so-called pope says repentance and baptism are inseparable...Why would you disagree with him???

Here’s a hint: When you find yourself saying “Catholics do this...” or “Catholic always do that...” you are engaging in bigotry, rather than discussing ideas.

I never said that repentance has nothing to do with baptism, or that repentance doesn’t often precede baptism. I said that repentance is not part of the sacrament of baptism.

Nothing I said contradicts my “so-called first pope.”

BTW: You could call him “Saint Peter,” or “Peter.” No need to throw in “your so-called first pope.” That’s more anti-Catholic bigotry. Bigotry and contempt seem to ooze out, like pus.
