True. I think that those who have an inordinate fear of Hell, more than likely, are going there. Not good.
You well know I’m marked forever and will always be Catholic, as many FRomans have insisted.
I have no idea how you got so crabby.
I hope things get better.
Maybe if you weren’t at war with our church and pope all the time…
Pope Frank is a nitwit. Do you suppose he stole the election, like Biden did?
Please don’t criticize the one who sits on the lawn chair of Peter!
He was elected with holy smoke and everything.
Well, he blows a lot of smoke, but I don’t know if it’s holy or not. Is that like holy water? 😀
—> Is that like holy water?
Yes. We have holy water and holy smoke.
Holy moly. You have too much divine stuff. 😃
I forgot to ask, do you have any holy rollers, or just high rollers? 👍
Now ebb, THIS is something I can agree with you about!
Jesus said "Without Me you can do nothing". In this crisis which looms ahead of us, Our Lady has told us that we need Her help, Her intercession. We must ask for Her help with the Rosary and the Scapular.
At Fatima , Our Lady told us very plainly that "Only I can help you". Today more than ever is this so true.
Pray the Rosary and sacrifice yourself for Our Lady.
I urge you to also make some sacrifices as Our Lady of Fatima asked us. For those who are able, do some fasting. If you can, abstain from meat by eating meat only during one meal a day. Try to do this for two days, even ten days or 30 days. Of course we should abstain totally from meat every Friday.
Jesus and Mary — Our Hope
It is so urgent that we reach as many souls as possible before it is too late. Let us be of good cheer and remember the words of Jesus to each of us, "It's never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary." That is why it is so important to reach the many millions of souls who do not know this, and who do not know the grave dangers lying in wait for their souls.
No, we must never lose hope. Mary is our hope. She can obtain for us what we cannot by ourselves. Read what St. Alphonsus has to say regarding confidence in Our Lady's intercession in "Mary Leads Her Servants to Heaven". Father Manelli also reminds us of the importance of devotion to Our Lady. (See "Hail Mary, Full of Grace"). Our Blessed Mother tells us to turn to Her in confidence. She tells us repeatedly to ask Her intercession through the frequent fervent praying of the Rosary. (See "The Rosary"). She tells us we must pray the Rosary every day. She wants us to pray it many times a day.
Yes, they are.
Thank you for noticing.
And multiple examples of it, too!
A personal attack?? My, my...what thin skin you have.
And you're delusional to think Satan hates a man-made idol given by an apparition that tells the deceived if they wear it, and if it's worn in a certain way, and if they're actually wearing it when they die, they will avoid the hell-fire.
The person believing that is the one who is deceived.
Remember, Satan is the father of lies.
Do you actually think he will point you to Christ for your salvation?
Satan has that person right where he wants them.

8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! Galatians 1:8 NASB 95

As a Catholic, I have to admit the apparition at Fatima was likely demonic - and the scapula is just a mass-produced tchachke that cant save nothing. If you throw it in a fire, it can’t save itself, let alone someone trying to wear it for protection.
Also, I apologize for ebb’s attacks. He is views are simply his own.
As a Catholic, I have to admit we don’t have any idea what Mary looked like.
And that praying to a statue of Mary is a waste of time.
In fact, I admit we stole the idea of temples, saints, etc. from Greece when they were conquered. We acquired their pagan religion symbols, feasts, beliefs, and added them to our own.
This is no problem because once a pope declares something true, it is really true, even if it was pagan. Add some holy water and we Catholics don’t care the backstory. As the only True Church, we make the rules.
Just don’t forget the holy water, the holy smoke and the holy moly. Did I forget any other holy somethings?
Who cries red tears, anyway?
Mark17,
Thank you for visiting this Roman thread.
We are glad you are here to learn about the one truest church.
Oh, yes, we have a great many holy relics, temples, idols, etc.
They are all totally legit and pronounced as true.
We even have a vial of breast milk from Mary.
Hail!
Many websites attempting to describe this are so wordy and highfalutin'.
