The Pope is completely wrong. Protestant churches are the only actual Christian churches. True Protestants do not worship goddesses or saints... we worship Jesus Christ, making us actual Christians.

Catholics do not worship saints. They pray for the ‘intercession’ of saints, which is basically asking saints to pray for us, too.

Your statement is a common slur of Catholics along with the also incorrect statement that the worship the Pope.

“Protestant churches are the only actual Christian churches”

Well, I would agree that yes, you’re partly right, because only a handful of the people in SOME of the Protestant churches belong to Jesus’ actual church, but I like to cut the Catholics slack because it’s not like our Protestant churches are paragons of virtue. We have just as many rituals and nonsense, and many of our members are just living lies anyway. I think we’d all be shocked to see the actual numbers of Jesus’ servants on the earth. I imagine it’s probably less than 1 percent of the population. In Sodom, there was only one righteous man, only 8 people survived the flood, only Joshua and Caleb made it into the Promised Land from an original 2-3 million. None of us has any right to brag, but yes, I would agree that it is nearly impossible for a practicing Catholic to hear what he/she needs to hear to survive.

I guess you'll assert that no true Protestant would accept openly homosexual clergy?

Yeah right, goddeses, statues, saints, sure - one problem. Where was your church the first dozen or so centuries? All of the Saints your wanna be church does not have were the martyrs and leaders of Christ’s one church - The Holy and Catholic Church.

I was at a Lutheran funeral a while ago and during their creed I kept having to resist the urger to ask the pastor where that came from.

There is but one church of Christ and he started it and it is still going strong.

We don't worship goddesses or saints....you have been brainwashed by hatred and jealousy.

I know you won't answer, but what denomination do you belong to and attend Church every Sunday? I'll bet you say you don't attend Church, and that you are a Christian.

You have just demonstrated that you have no knowledge of what the Catholic Church believes.

They don’t worship goddesses & saints, least not most of them. Still, a lot of the practice revolving around venerating saints weakens them & can lead the weakest among them astray.

<<<”True Protestants do not worship goddesses or saints... we worship Jesus Christ, making us actual Christians.”>>>

You must be living in a vacuum to make such a statement. There is only 0ne (1) Who is Worshiped and Glorified, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and Holy Spirit are One God.
