Thank you.

Dittos to 36 and 37! I knew you would understand my point, and I also knew Arminians would try to either deny or avoid it by changing the subject or setting up a strawman to knock down. :D

Critical thinkers don't fall for those diversionary tactics.

"But there is still only One Mediator between God and men."

And there is only ONE "Holy Father".

While the abortion industry is massive here in the US, I believe the numbers are greater in the communist countires and Europe.

I am sorry to say that the Catholic Church in America, as a result of widespread institutional practices of homosexuality and pedophilia among its clergy, is no longer HOLY.

That's true of our entire society today. Homosexuality is now considered normal and healthy. The Public School system is just as guilty of allowing homosexuals to be around teenage boys. There's even talk of allowing them to adopt children.

At least twice I was given a penance of reading the bible. One was from the missal but it's still God's word.

For a long time I was really into indulgences. The best and easiest way to obtain a plenary indulgence every single day takes only one-half hour under the proper conditions, confession within 8 days (have to check on that) and receive communion that day.

Catholics aren't in the habit of reading the bible because I think if you are raised catholic, you derive more comfort from mass. My comfort comes primarily from the bible, sometimes from mass (when I was more confident it was still valid), and protestant reading.

Thank you so much for posting this article!!! I'm a former RC, but I'm happy to know that the Lord has a few good men still fighting for truth and holiness in the "Mother Church;" even in this dark hour.

The call to join the "warrior class" is absolutely prophetic, and even those of the protestant persuasion need to take note of this challenge. There is just as much of this sort of garbage happening in the protestant realm as the Catholic, and the need for protestant warriors is just as real and pressing.

No offense, bu tthe Bible is quite clear - Paul reiterates over and over - if you do not spend time in God's word, you WILL be mislead by the world and its leader.

To me, that is still the fundamental problem with the RCC - that they do not live, drink, eat and breath in the Bible. Instead, they rely on teaching from Rome, mixed with the Word, then distilled via sermons to the layity. Not for me anymore.

Hey, now, what about non-Catholic Christians? Some serious housecleaning needs to occur in many Protestant churches as well.

[JMJ333]

I appreciate your graciousness and agree with your sentiment. Moral relativism is prevalent throughtout the country and has succeeded in adapting catholic/christian doctrine to one's personal fancies or the ruling form of liberal worldliness. Objective norms of thought throughout society have been destroyed to a large extent. Many Americans have become the slave to their own caprices and those of fashion, pop culture, hollywood, the media, etc. Many have accepted these evils in the guise of good. Our entire culture is in serious trouble, and I appreciate any protestant who joins faithful Catholics to beat back the enemy. Best to you. =)

What are you going to do when many girls nationwide get beaten, disowned and/or thrown out of their homes for getting pregnant? Probably nothing, many of you are the same types that would say that she somehow brought that on herself.

Well, unless she was raped, she did bring it on herself.

Modern man often ``lives as if God does not exist,'' the Holy Father, John Paul II warned, ``and even puts himself in God's place,'' on his most recent trip to Poland. Quote from Associated Press.

Fighting Catholic signing in.

[Got a right to Life? . . Huh?]

The name fits. I'll say a prayer for you. Your argument falls apart when abortion is banned in all cases that do not involve the preservation of the mother's life. Society would have no choice but to stop using abortion as the whoops birth control, and start relying on more humane means of controlling their baby making abilities.
