Monsignor Pope Ping!

[ealgeone]

Though the victory is ours, we can only lay hold of it by clinging to Christ and walking with Him.

The Msgr gets this correct.

It is only through faith in Christ and Christ alone, that one can gain Heaven.

Yet, Roman Catholic theology tells their adherents they must go through Mary to get to Christ, and be dedicated to her, and further, that it is Mary who will crush the enemy, all in contradiction of Scripture.

[mjp]

The readings this Sunday speak of a great cosmic battle that is taking place all around us. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of it vividly and of his own mission to engage our ancient foe and to gather God’s elect back from the enslaving clutches of Satan,

also there is a battle between value producers/creators and value destroyers/usurpers

[Salvation]

Your last statement is mistaken, I believe.

We go through Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[tired&retired]

The message to me in prayerful meditation is to NOT choose sides here on earth, but to look toward God and rise above it.

It has been this message for 5 years now.

[ealgeone]

Thus as no man goeth to the Father but by the Son, so no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother.

Bible verse please.

[infool7]

One road is easy

the other road well... not so much.

One side is victorious and the other...

not so much.

We must choose and choose wisely we must.

Fail.

I asked for a Bible verse. Not an encyclical.

[ealgeone]

You’re right. Rome fails as there is no Scripture support for this. Yet, Rome advances this false teaching.

[Marchmain]

Seems to me you did not read it.

[Marchmain]

Aren’t you advancing religious bigotry? Why do you go off topic and twist a post about the Cloud of Witnesses, music and art, into a smear against a beloved and sweet devotion that uplifts and gives people hope for centuries?

[MomwithHope]

Thanks for posting. It is time for choosing and for standing up for our faith. There is so much evil, and evil dressing itself up as tolerance and can’t we just all get along. Sorry, we are asked as Christians to fight this battle as so many have fought it before us, many giving their lives in the process.

[ConservativeMind]

Catholics must adhere to following the Pope, or they are heretics.

[ealgeone]

Aren’t you advancing religious bigotry?

All I did was expose what Rome advocates for and allows to be believed by its adherents. It is understandable that Roman Catholicism does not want this made public.

I did not go off topic. The Msgr asserted, "Though the victory is ours, we can only lay hold of it by clinging to Christ and walking with Him."

All I did was add clarity to what Rome advances and allows to be believed by using official Roman Catholic documents.

The belief that one has to go through Mary to get to Christ is not a New Testament teaching. It is a false doctrine that contradicts Scripture.

If you have a problem with this, you need to address the Vatican concerning this.

[Marchmain]

So yes, bigotry, looking for one phrase off topic to bash a religion you despise, making no attempt at dialogue, to belittle a church you don’t belong to.

It's "bigotry" to accurately portray the beliefs of Roman Catholicism?

Man, I tell you what. The dialogue I have with Roman Catholics the more evident it is it is not New Testament Christianity.

It's a good thing Paul didn't have the thin skin of some Roman Catholics.

>>Roman Catholic theology tells their adherents they must go through Mary to get to Christ,

>>Catholics must adhere to following the Pope, or they are heretics.

Wrong, and wrong again...
