Typos. Blunders. Mine.

PING!

"The Church is the anvil upon which the hammers of heresy are blunted." I don't know where that came from and I probably got it wrong, but I like it.

[Nonstatist]

It also helps to own a lot of prime real estate outright. It makes the religious schools cheaper to run and keep running.

[wideawake]

You win today's "Completely Missing The Point" Award.

I note with interest how the Pope mentioned the Muslim invasions as an attempt to destroy the Church.

His predecessor was more concerned about apologizing for the Crusades than acknowledging the historic roots of Islam's maleficence.

[wvobiwan]

Happy for Catholics, but I personally don't care. Just glad I only seem to have to worry about the RoP (Islam) trying to kill me.

[Ebenezer]

Well said. Our Lord's assurances that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against [the Church]" should especially be remembered by the ultra-traditionalist schismatics who want nothing to do with the post-Vatican II Church.

[NoFoxholeAthiests]

The Church will withstand every challenge from without and from within; for nothing will ever separate us from the love of Christ; because in Christ we have overcome the world, and because the powers of hell and death will not prevail against the Church.

Nuts! If the Catholic Church cannot even overcome the lust for little children (pedophile preists), how are they going to "overcome the world"?! The Bible says, "come out from her my people that you not partake of her plagues". Any sensible person reading the Bible would do an "about face" from this corrupt organization!

PS: HITLER WAS CATHOLIC!

How have you made it a month pretending to be a sterotypical fundie bigot. I bet you and your friends at DU are having a good laugh that you haven't been booted yet

. I mean you got to be a disruptor, you are too cartoonish to be real.

[Nihil Obstat]

Yes, Hitler WAS Catholic, maybe until he was about 18. Lots of people leave the Catholic Church, he was one of them.

[pgkdan]

Your post is so simple mindedly moronic that I can only conclude that you are either a simple minded moron or a troll. Which is it?

[livius]

Yeah, right. "Religious schools" that have huge fund drives every year - beacuse they are giving inner city blacks the only decent education any of them have a chance of getting. But I guess maybe you work for the teachers' unioin, which hates the Church.

[livius]

I agree - I noticed that too.

[Campion]

HITLER WAS CATHOLIC!

Godwin's Law meets historical fiction.

Hitler lost his faith around age 16. His various crimes while dictator of Germany, especially killing priests and religious, caused him to be automatically excommunicated hundreds of times over.

Well, how 'bout that. Another Jack T. Chick happy customer.

Don't believe everything you read in comic books, pal.

Dear NoFoxholeAthiests,

It's interesting that Hitler, who was excommunicated latae sententiae, actually DID come out of the Catholic Church.

Perhaps that's the caliber of folks who do that? Who leave the Catholic Church?

;-)

Don't mess with Catholics, they're a little touchy. (if you haven't figured this out by the time you read my post)

I notice you are a fairly new person to FR and you are really off to a bad start.

What I would like to know, do Catholics have to continue to put up with this lie on a daily basis on FR? It's relentless here. Hitler was a godless devil by the time he gained power. He believed in nothing but himself and his lust for power. No Catholic Christian would have conducted himself that way.

Your tag line also says "Mother of Harlots." It's quite obvious what you are about. Thank you for smearing our faces in the scandals of the Church, as if there has never, ever been a Protestant minister that has molested a child or done wrong.

[livius]

Actually, IIRC, Hitler left the Church at least in part because he had been kicked out of the Catholic school (may have been a Jesuit school, I'm nost sure) he had attended.

Hitler regarded Christianity as a "slave religion" and later tried to set up his own religion, just as Napoleon had done before him. It didn't work in either case.

Unfortunately, he's not too cartoonish to be real. I've met people like him face to face. I think even the DUers would be frightened of an individual who holds such prejudices.
