I pray that The Lord, hopefully the same God to whom you pray, not Mary, will open your heart and your mind to his truth, his gospel, and his Son and that you will come to know salvation.

He did, that's why I'm a Catholic and no longer a Protestant.


That's why I'm a born again Christian, and no longer Catholic.

This Teresa of Calcutta?

"If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are. ... What God is in your mind you must accept" (from Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work , by Desmond Doig, p. 156, as quoted by Dave Hunt, Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist , p. 149).

The one who thought whatever religion was just fine?

... But, when I had my blood work done my potassium was not high enough.

When potassium is low, eat some fruits and veggies (not together, of course!). They are an excellent source from God's pharmacy!

I eat bananas every day!

An outsider might be forgiven for having the impression that Jesus Christ is the author of confusion.

Thanks for proving my point, which was that articles of this nature are far more numerous. Your list isn’t even half as long as the one I compiled (and I left off multiple articles which were in the vein of some of the ones you included in your list).

LOL.Arthur the mere fact you raise the names of Roman "saints" says it all.. they were sinners ..everyone of them ...

I don't know of a saint who considered himself saintly, except for certain types of Protestants who can't be quick enough to tell the world how holy they are. For all it's said to be all about Jesus it sure sounds like it's all about them.

So, please reference your refutation of the premise of this posting! Oh, you made NONE!

BTW, according to Scripture, anybody that has been grafted into Jesus' family is a "saint"!

One example from Scripture is Paul's greeting :

Ephesians 1: 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

That leaves your obsessive hatred of the Catholic Church unexplained, but no less manifest.

Perhaps it's RM's love for something other than Catholicism.

But that does also raise the question whether it is your obsessive hatred of Protestants that would cause such a response? Better yet, why would there be such a response to simple history? A question left unanswered.

Your obsessive hatred of the Catholic Church is not in question. It is manifest.

Your vision of this is impaired.

Refutation of and disagreement with deceptive and cunning religious practices that ruin children, women, and others' souls and bypass all honest and reasonable discussion in order to foster a belief system that traps its members into a type of psychological dependency on men of questionable authority that veers from the Word of God at many intersections, enforcing instead godless traditions of men, is wisdom being made manifest.

I am sure you have many fine qualities.

Art, your obsessive hatred of Christians is not in question. It is manifest.

I have yet to read anything positive in any of your posts.

You've got some thin skin dude.

BTW, according to Scripture, anybody that has been grafted into Jesus' family is a "saint"!

BTW, "saint (n.) early 12c., from Old French saint, seinte "a saint; a holy relic," displacing or altering Old English sanct, both from Latin sanctus "holy, consecrated" (used as a noun in Late Latin; also source of Spanish santo, santa, Italian san, etc.), properly past participle of sancire "consecrate" (see sacred). Adopted into most Germanic languages (Old Frisian sankt, Dutch sint, German Sanct).

"Originally an adjective prefixed to the name of a canonized person; by c.1300 it came to be regarded as a noun. Meaning "person of extraordinary holiness" is recorded from 1560s."

In a word, it means "holy". That's why, during the course of (cough) Holy Mass, you see "Spirítui Sancto" (Holy Ghost), "Dómine sancte" (Holy Lord), "sanctum Angelum" (Holy Angel), "sanctis Apóstolis" (Holy Apostles), "Sancta sanctórum" (Holy of Holies),"sanctum Evangélium" (Holy Gospel), "Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ" (His Holy Church), "plebs tua sancta" (Thy Holy People) etc, etc... are you getting the point? Gracious sakes that last one I listed is actually referring to US as saints!

Isn't it awkward when personally held shibboleths come crashing down in front of everyone?
