Also, if it weren’t for the Crusader Popes, none of us would be here.

Like THIS one??

... and dealing with the Islamic advance into Western Europe was a foremost concern.

They Catholicized all of Europe.

Now it is being Muslimized.

I hope that THIS is not an ignorant remark.

I wonder which major brand of Islam is gaining such a large foothold in Europe?

Sunnis or Shiities?

Those are just the facts and there are plenty of Protestant scholars who admit them.

And then the 'church' went off the rails and ALLOWED the reformers to rise.

Compare the United States and any country south of the border where Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion. The Protestant work ethic is one of the keys to this country’s success.

And that is enough for folks of any chosen bias to add...

BECAUSE such-and-such; we can assert that XYZ occurs(ed).

...that was anathema to the Founders.

That stuff's been around a LONG time!

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema.

Unlike the plethora of threads started by Roman Catholics??

And look at the state of Europe today. Not a very good argument.

As compared to the numerous non Catholic bashing threads? Y’all can dish it out but can’t take it.

These religious threads??? Why try and piss off people???

Luke 12:51-53

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

The 15 promises

(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)

1	Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces.
2.	I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3.	The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies
4.	It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5.	The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6.	Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7.	Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8.	Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.
9.	I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10.	The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11.	You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12.	All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13.	I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death
14.	All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15.	Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,

no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.

There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."

The Protestant work ethic is one of the keys to this country’s success.

It's in the book that Rome assembled so long ago:

2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule:
"The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."
