Which Catholic faith is correct?

All of them if they are in communion with Rome.

[The Cuban]

Doctrinally they are indistinct.

[The Cuban]

Faith and reason. Ever read the Nicene Creed pretty much explains it.

[ealgeone]

>it’s like veniial and mortal. Caths can split more hairs than imagined.<

so you say that child abuse and swiping a pack of gum are pretty much equal sins?????

Apart from Christ both will keep you out of Heaven. In either case you wind up in Hell.

The earthly punishments though are vastly different.

See David and Bathsheba on the earthly punishment for their sins. David for sure is in Heaven though. Don't know about Bathsheba.

Top 10 Most Wicked Popes

HEY, you are cut and pasting Elsie's pride and joy....

Top 10 Worst Popes in History

We have had 266 Popes....1 out of 26.6....Christ selected 1 out of 12 worst apostles.....we're doing just fine.

No your interpretation is Protestant Gibberish.

There was no interpretation in that post, just scripture.

One even from the Catholic Bible.

Let the Holy Spirit show you what it means, it's pretty clear.

Nothing in that passage contradicts Catholic doctrine

Ahhh, well OK

[terycarl]

Jesus said that we MUST be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. You can call His words idiocy if you want but that’s YOUR problem. Have fun trying to explain your opinion of them to Him.

Catholicism, since its inception APPROXIMATELY 2,016 years ago, has taught that the sacrament of Baptism is the Christian rebirth. This was, of course believed by ALL Christians for 1,600 years until the Protestants sprang up and decided that somehow, that wasn't enough....(it is).

You would do well to read the account of Cornelius in Acts 10 if you think getting wet is what saves you.

[ealgeone]

Those were just the top ten. I’m sure the list can be expanded with a little research.

[terycarl]

So you believe you eat in the wafer the Divinity of Jesus, continuing the sacrifice at every Mass?

Body, Blood, soul and Divinity.....under the appearance of bread and wine....yes we do....and so did ALL Christian until the protestants came along to debunk that superstition......sigh.

[ealgeone]

Do this in remembrance of me.....

quite a bit different than the roman catholic understanding.

[terycarl]

I believed everything Catholicism taught me when I was under it. Then I started reading Scripture for myself and saw the contradictions between it and what the church taught. I threw my lot in with God.

Self interpretation seldom, if ever works....the church has had APPROXIMATELY 2016 years to study and interpret scripture....stick with them, the chances that they are wrong and you are correct isn't even measurable in the gazillions.

[terycarl]

And the Ukrainian Catholics know that the Roman rite looks down on them.

No they don't.

[metmom]

Details, details.....

[metmom]

I didn’t think the facts would have any impact on you.

[metmom]

so you say that child abuse and swiping a pack of gum are pretty much equal sins?????

They both have the same penalty.

Death.

Read James 2 sometime.

[terycarl]

They are just as different as the 30,000 Protestant denominations that you guys say exist...

Not even remotely close!!!!!

[Syncro]

Still pushing Catholicism starting at year zero huh?

There were no Catholics for several hundred years, except for ex post facto Catholics and popes.

Sprinkling babies with water does not erase the original sin.

God does protect children though.

Those who believe they are saved and belong to the Kingdom of God from infant "baptism" will be quite surprised unless they become Christians.

That is one of the reasons that we are preaching God's Word involving salvation to the lost right here at FR.

[daniel1212]

but that Scripture got written LONG after Onan got the big zot from the sky!

Elsie, i am surprised you would challenge this as if it were a new thing, and not search the matter out a little. This is nothing new, as the principle that martial vows end when one dies is why God commanded a brother to marry the widow of a brother. And as if the husband be dead then she is loosed from the law of her husband, thus "when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife."(1 Samuel 25:39)

The sin of Onan was quite evident to be selfish disobedience to God.
