Who are the Catholics: The Orthodox or The Romanists, or both?

Me

I just witnessed a couple of Orthodox posters get kicked off a "Catholic Caucus" thread. I thought, despite their differences, they had a mutual understanding that each sect was considered "Catholic". Are not the Orthodox considered Catholic? Why do the Romanists get to monopolize the term "Catholic"?

I consider myself to be Catholic being a part of the universal church of Christ. Why should one sect be able to use a universal concept to identify themselves in a caucus thread while other Christian denominations need to use specific qualifiers to identify themselves in a caucus thread?

that's why you responded this way to hide them

Attributing motive to another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Remember, you’re addressing the author of the “house Jew” epithet.

Catholics and all authentic Christians bow to statues of saints. Not to statues in general. That is because we believe in Redeeming God Who alone put His saints in Heaven and praise Him. Those who don’t, practice the lying art of accusations instead of getting themselves a true religion, or at least a plausible one.

I've never heard that the Holy Eucharist IS God Himself.

The Holy Eucharist is Christ, so yes.

[Natural Law]

"The Mass is the unbloody sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ."

In Catholic theology the word "Sacrifice" is synomous with the word "offering". We carry out this command of the Lord by celebrating the memorial of his sacrifice. It is the thanksgiving and praise to the Father; - the sacrificial memorial of Christ and his Body; - the presence of Christ by the power of his word and of his Spirit. We offer praise, prayers and worship, not the bloody sacrifices of the Old Testament.

Are Presbyterians antiSemitic, like the source of this picture?

Not all. Not even close.

But the Presbyterians who hate the Catholic Church have been letting their anti-Semitism slip into view lately.

Anything--anything--is fair game if it might somehow be of use to try to denigrate the Catholic Church.

[Petronski]

I should add that the founder of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Graham Machen, was a racist segregationist pig.

Add in the anti-Semitism that we’ve been seeing lately and the whole thing starts to seem a bit Klannish.

[Petronski]

Not Graham, Gresham Machen.

Gresham

Nice place for a Christian to hang out, eh?

Do not use jaimz.ca as a source.

[stfassisi]

This is horrible.

This also proves that the people using these sources are not in the Spirit of our Lord ,if they were our Lord would lead them away from such sources of information.

my guess is I have forgotten more Catholic doctrine than you have ever known.

Amen ! Sister.

Little do these newcomers to FR understand that your credentials
go back to the days of of "neverending thread" long before
the Religion forum was created.

Thank you for bringing "Roman church facts" to the forum.

I believe Yah'shua asks us to remember Him during
the annual celebration of His commanded Feast of Passover.

Which the Roman church outlawed at Nicea by order of their Pontiff.

St. Constantine the Great was never Pontiff of the Catholic Church.

[Petronski]

...my guess is I have forgotten more Catholic doctrine than you have ever known.

Well, there certainly isn't very much of it showing up in your posts.

[Uri’el-2012]

Shabbat Shalom !

[Petronski]

Posting falsehoods about the Catholic Church on Shabbat is permissible, eh? Laudable even?

Do not accuse another Freeper, personally, of telling a lie. The word attributes motive, the intent to deceive. It is “making it personal.”

[Religion Moderator]

Impeaching a source is an effective argument in debate on the Religion Forum. But be careful to not attribute motive to the Freeper who used an impeached source. That would be “making it personal.”
