My wife got me this morning too: Bernie dropped out of the race. Even while I was marking dates on the calendar.
I’m watching “The Borgias” right now, and I am wondering if Rodrigo was as bad of a pope as this show makes out. Maybe some freepers can enlighten me.
These theological points have been debated for centuries.
However, people are leaving the Church because of the leadership; especially Pope F’s pronouncements.
His support of OWG is frightening and his declaration that one can go to Heaven without Christ is heretical.
I came to that same conclusion about 30 years ago. It wasn’t an April Fools gag.
Until the last line, it is actually the best thing that Tim Staples has ever written. I pray that the Holy Spirit will convict Staples of the truth of what he thought he was writing in jest.
Nah, those are some of his keystone teachings. At this point he would have to refute his own refutations.
Got me!
It’s too bad Tim was joking about something that is a no joking matter. Ironically, every reason he gave for his faux conversion was actually true! I’ll pray that the Holy Spirit convicts his heart.
You’ve got more guts than I do; mocking the true words of God...
It's too bad he doesn't have a Savior to believe in. If he did, it wouldn't matter what church he went to.
His faith is misplaced. Too bad it's not in Christ instead of a church.

My grandmother was a Maupin; from the Huguenots. They were
run out of France rather violently. Went to Holland; then
on to England where they later left & came to America &
fought in the Revolutionary War. My folks were sort of
soured on the Catholic Church after all that. All the
long robes & pomp & circumstance they could not abide.
Too bad this guy picked the gospel for his April Fool’s joke.
I wouldn’t do that the other way around.
I take it all very seriously, and he just injured that.
I’m probably too sensitive. I probably should laugh. Kyrie Eleison.
I was wondering as I went to the computer... which FReerper was going to do that today....
First story I clicked on too
He doesn’t know how right he was with his five points.
Thanks; Rome; for the book you assembled.
I'm sorry you didn't put everything NEEDED into it.
I KNEW it was April Fools. Don’t trust anyone or anything today!

Absolute truth! (any day of the year)

I’m sad for Mr. Staples

I left tghe Catholics at age 20. Seemed way too many saints and not enough Christ. That’s just me.
Well, Mr. Staples,
What you wrote is true, in spite of your attempt to make a joke out of it.
