Conversions are for Muslims, Jesus told his followers to create disciples throughout the world—a self-inflicted transformation if you insist on conversion.

He drove home the point that atheism was part of cultural “richness” that the event promotes.

What???????

Hey catholics, if you want a chance to go to heaven then get as far away from the catholic religion as possible. Find the real Jesus, repent and ask for salvation.

Salvation has nothing at all to do with the catholic religion.

And a bang up job of not converting anybody he’s doing, too. No young person on earth would want to be part of PachamamaChurch.

Is it saving souls the priority for every Christian?

Dear Catholics,

Your religion has cancer.

Signed,

I think this development was inevitible and many denominations will die in the onlsaught from Christ’s followers who will see the apostasy for what it is - denying Christ. It is their own members awakened to Christ in the end days who will set fire to many denominations - they represent the spiritual fire that will be unleashed on them.

That’s OK, the LCMS wants to bring young people to Christ; if the Catholic Church doesn’t want ‘em, we do, and so does our Lord who died for them.

The left wants to convert our children into something they are not. Meanwhile, the organized church is scared of trying to convert children to Christianity.

We have failed.

In Jesus’ time he had the Pharisees who conspired and ultimately put the Son of Man to death. Today, we have Francis and his house of Pharisees. The Catholic church has become the Whore of Babylon.

I was a Catholic and am a Catholic of old. The Church of Rome today is not Catholic. The Church of Rome today is hell bent on destroying the real Church of Rome. Francis is a left wing Marxist pretending to be the Pope. I even suspect his sexuality based on his decisions.

How I miss the days of Father Faucie, in Larose, Louisiana. He was a moral man and a handsome man. He was from Quebec and conducted services in French and English and of course the Latin Mass. If he decided to stray from his vows it would have been easy. He did not! He would give solace when needed, advice when needed, and iron clad rules of behavior even when violated.

Father Faucie is what the “Old Church of Rome was once.” May he rest in peace but I doubt he rests in peace. His beloved church has changed.

Father Fauci would also come to JC’s Bar and occasional restaurant. We had crab boils and Turtle Soup there, most delicious. It was a local hangout for the community and very family oriented. Father Faucie liked to drink an occasional beer. I never saw him inebriated. I never saw him pay for a beer though he tried. His money was no good at JCs.

Without Jesus, these young people have no chance.

Satanists don’t want people to turn towards Christ.

What about Sodomy? Are they OK with converting young people to Sodomy?

I use a capital "S" because Sodomy is the name of a religion of the ruling class as well as a sexual practice.

Just spitballin’ here, but maybe-—just hear me out-—this is why so many Protestants identify the Catholic Church as the “Whore of Babylon” in Revelations?

Asking for a friend.

He connected his message to that of Pope Francis and his encyclical Fruti Tutti
Well, it all make more sense now.

Pope Francis is the first anti-Catholic Pope just like Obama was the first anti-American President.

I won’t step foot inside a Catholic Church until Francis is gone and hopefully replaced with someone who isn’t a pro-Muslim tool.

To find the truth, look for who or what is attacked the hardest by evil.

The gates of hell will not prevail.

May all of us, Catholic or not, follow God’s will for us and love each other.
