1. I don’t consider the Roman Edifice “Christ’s Church” any MORE than I consider The First Baptist of Hootenholler “Christ’s Church.”
2. Methinks there’s a lot of slippin N sliden about the list.
3. Macabee’s prayers for the dead justifies the RC edifice’s? LOL! ROTFLOL! GTTM! What other Pre-Christian stuff is going to be used to justify all manner of silliness on the part of the political RELIGIOUS power-mongering committees in Rome?
Confession time for me . . . I’ve been privately taken to task by a dear sister who rightly enough shredded me up one side and down the other for my flipant catty mention of XX and XY impoverishments of Parochial educationi as I was tweaking back some tweaky RC posts . . . The dear sister noted that men also make estrogen etc. etc. etc.
She’s right enough I’ll just say I’m sorry for using overblown/wrong biology to justfy being catty, flipant and tweaky.
I repent and will endeavor to be more kosher next time . . . at least about the facts!

What you consider is largely imaterial since you have already proven that your considerations amount to little in this regard. Share them, keep them to yourself, the result is the same.
“2. Methinks there’s a lot of slippin N sliden about the list.”
The list itself is a lot of slippin’. It is a bogus list.
“3. Macabee’s prayers for the dead justifies the RC edifice’s? LOL! ROTFLOL! GTTM!”
Now you’re slipping. Where did I claim that the prayers of the Maccabees justify the “edifice” of the Catholic Church? I didn’t. I, CORRECTLY, pointed out that prayers for the dead EXISTED among Jews before Christ’s incarnation, and long BEFORE 300 among Christians. You, however, have now created a straw man out of what I said because you can’t refute what I said. Thanks for the tacit admission of defeat. Get used to it.
“What other Pre-Christian stuff is going to be used to justify all manner of silliness on the part of the political RELIGIOUS power-mongering committees in Rome?”
Jews are pre-Christian just like the Old Testament is pre-Christian (i.e. it still worth citing since they were the Chosen People). Again, thanks for tacitly admitting you can’t argue the point itself, but instead must now put yourself in the strange position of saying what the Jews believed simply should be ignored.
“I repent and will endeavor to be more kosher next time . . . at least about the facts!”
This sister in the Lord of yours might need to talk to me too. :) But I already know the facts. I’m not catty. I’m just rude. I can even say that with a smile. LOL!
