Rome truly has no other choice if she wishes to maintain her current beliefs and practices. If she were to appeal to something like the Vincentian Canon (namely, that the true faith, the true interpretation of Scripture, is that which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all), the pope would have to give up all claims to supremacy over the entire church, and the bulk of Roman peculiarities and practice would have to be jettisoned. It's so great that God not only sent the Holy Spirit to guide us, but that we were given the Scriptures to be the rule of our faith. No matter how much power is entrusted to a church by a state it can not change our faith or make itself the arbiter of truth. We can just direct our attention to Scripture.

To be deep into the Truth of God’s Eternal Word is to be set free from religion.

Maybe we should take a refresher course on all of history, which includes the Inquisitions of the Middle Ages. Neither Catholic nor Protestant authorities were Christ-like in how they dealt with whom they deemed as heretics.

All the further I could read before LOL! That is not “deep” in history.
Try again.

typical prot reaction, when the truth of prot revisionism is exposed change the topic.
I guess I will have to wait in vain for the OP to admit their error.
BB wouldn't it be really great for a non-Catholic to call on the OP and point out their error.

Where is it that you think discussion of religious beliefs should be confined to?
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I had meant to say that in order to be successful, discernment was required to determine what tone, what volume, what approach by subject matter works in which situation. We all come at this discernment in shades of differences. As I relate this point to the poster and the relentless parade of specifically anti-Catholic posts, I question the monomaniacal focus, as well as the propriety, on a site of otherwise shared political, social, and moral values. Does that make sense?
You keep bragging about what a great job she is doing. It is amazing isnt it?
I suppose a poll could be run to see if this is the case. My poll of exactly one (me) concludes that the daily tirade is leaving those in agreement where they are, perhaps pushing those who might share most of the beliefs to be put off, and those targeted probably harden in shying away from genuine debate, and perhaps are more inclined to mud-slinging.

She is not spreading hate and bigotry. She is teaching us the truth. I am very thankful for that. Keep up the good work.

She has not made any errors. Some just do not like learning the truth. Kind of sad.

To be deep in Scripture is to cease to be. a Catholic.

Yes, it is indeed a large task to expose all of the corruptions and misuse of God's Holy Word by the Roman Catholic cult.
I understand the desire to share the truth if one believes one has firmly grasped it. I question the wisdom of the approach here: a relentless attack on one denomination.
As a man of faith, albeit cultish in your estimation, I express this faith primarily through praise, devotion, and knowledge. So were I inclined to use FR's religious forum regularly and fully (I come here mostly for the political discussions), I would be sharing my faith primarily in positive ways, without reference to the Catholic difference with other denominations. Certainly I might engage in some analysis of Luther, Calvin, Buddha, Yoganada, Joseph Smith, Ellen White, John Wesley, Henry VIII, and so many others. A hearty debate of tenets is stimulating!
But what I would do in addition is to include fellow Christians, as Christians, in discussions about how we respond to the emerging, suffocating, secular humanistic Progressivism. Yes we battle on one plane, but we are fellow soldiers on another. I would not antagonize a group of brothers for fear of alienating them when all men who claim allegiance to Christ need each other.

From article:
“...there is a difference between development and contradiction.... It is one thing to use different language to teach something the church has always taught (e.g., the Trinity)..... It is another thing altogether to begin teaching something that the church ‘always denied’ (e.g., papal supremacy or infallibility). ....Those doctrines in particular were built on multitudes of forgeries.
the fruits of the papacy over 1,500 years have consistently been the precise opposite of the fruit of the Spirit (Matt. 7:16)

RnMomo....what an interesting and informative article! Thank you for posting this. ;)

She is not spreading hate and bigotry. She is teaching us the truth.Did you read my reply? Her source was COMPLETELY WRONG! Her source quoted out of context either knowingly or unknowingly. Quoted in context it says the exact opposite of what was claimed, the EXACT OPPOSITE.
She failed to verify the validity of the quote, that makes her guilty of sloppy research.
It took me less than 5 minutes on Goggle to find the exact quote in context and another 10 minutes to find the entire book on line for free.
The other quotes I showed from the exact same book verify that the Cardinal was quoted out of context.
You say you like history and you can do research, I did ALL the leg work and heavy lifting for you.
Check my sources, I provided the links that the OP failed to do.

Is that like your version of how Oliver Cromwell was benevolent to all things Catholic???
Talk about revisionism - your love for Cromwell speaks loads of your lack of historical background.

The only thing I said about Cromwell was that he was blamed for not stopping the massacre of about 3500 in Ireland.

I also like to read non-fiction but I think you knew that. Some of y’all are not very good at mind reading. I enjoy reading historical sites on the internet, too. All kinds. If I find something I think is a little odd, then I search further. I learned in genealogy research to not take only one source. Mistakes are made. I have had to quit reading real books due to my vision problems but there are many on kindle. Do you read anything? I will not be replying to you anymore. I have enough on my mind without adding stuff you post. So, night.
