I wonder if there is a far more natural explanation.

The Crusaders proved once and for all the fallacy of the Catholic Religion. It is not the church Christ created. That church died with John.

Wha'? How'd they do that?

The Crusades only proved the fallacy of mankind, which we already about.

That church died with John

So Jesus, The Second person of the Holy Trinity, created a Church and yet made no provision for it to last longer than the life of his apostles? What about all the deacons and bishops appointed by the apostles which are recorded in the Acts of the Apostles and Paul's letters? What about Jesus telling Peter that upon Peter he was building his Church, "and the gates of hell would not prevail against it?"

So the Church that Christ founded died? Then Christ was lying when He said that His Church would last until the end of time?

[Mike Fieschko]

the Catholic Religion ... is not the church Christ created. That church died with John.

Wow.

Apologies if this is impertinent and presumptious, but ... where do you go on Sunday?

That which is in bold is true but "The Church" is alive in all believers. The failure of the Reformation is that it recognized a Roman church that was hijacked into paganisn by pope Damasis in 378A.D. but that it did not reconnect the branch to its roots in Jewishness and the hope of Israel;

But the brothers Judah and Ephraim are beginning to recognize each other and will once again worship the true God in His way. Today I pray for the peace of Israel. Shalom

**rolls eyes**

Oh brother...us Catholics sure have it all wrong. I guess I'm going to have to block out some time to watch Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and Jack Van Impe. I'll have to look into some of those pamplets in Baptist churches too...especially the one's about the "Death Cookie". Wouldn't want to do anything hazardous to my health dontchaknow.

Tell ya what. How about you go to that Cathedral and check the records of al the predecessors to the Archbishop there. They will go straight back to St. Thomas.

The Church died with John? So the gates of Hell prevailed then? You think Jesus lied?

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Never, in the history of language, has an assertion "proved" anything.

Please read Matthew 16:18.

Christ's church lives.

There is always a more natural explanation for those who wish to remain unbelievers and skeptics. It is set up that way. Otherwise, all people would end up as believers and that's not the way it plays out.

A wonderful miracle for a wonderful Christian people and a wonderful Church.

The church is still alive... it just might not be in the form most people expect it. But as for a more natural explanation, you're probably right to wonder there. still though... miracles do still happen. God Bless.

It's always nice to make the acquaintance of yet another backwards ass bigoted ignoramus here on Free Republic.

Thank you for your infallible teaching.

Very edifying. Have you thought of starting your own church?

When you know nothing about anything, it's wise just to keep your mouth shut.
