WHO REALLY IS 'ANTI-CATHOLIC?'

What is amazing to me is that I grew up in a Baptist church and I would never talk about protestants the way they talk about Catholics.I grew up hearing how evil Catholics are. Funny I never hear Catholics talk that way about others. Its very telling to say the least.

Welcome to the show. If one does not follow the teachings of Jesus, then one follows the teachings of men. That leads to all manner of anger, wild and strange posts, and accusations that others are not of Christ, while allying with other strange and odd claimants of Christianity.

I heard an ad on the radio the other day for an exterminator. He bragged how he could rid any home of silverfish, even if there were thousands of silverfish.

Do you think that the Church ought to engage in the same sort of practice? I mean, do silverfish add to or detract from Christian doctrine and practice?

[Petronski]

In my early 40s, I have NEVER heard a homily/sermon in church about what is wrong with the protestant faith.

I wonder how many protestants can say the same.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

That and there's no money in selling cats with large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, to look like deer

ROTFLOL. I've missed all the action today, but this post almost makes up for it.

Your Apostle is inferior to their Apostle, you are only an unpedigreed mutt, they have papers don'tcha see--- some kind of imaginary relationship from Peter to the Pontifex Maximus of the present day, give or take a 400 year gap in there.

And yet we know it's wrong to kneel down to statues of Mary and worship her.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Here is something that LOOKS mildly (and I stress that) anti-Catholic

Wow. That's actually worth a double Wow..

Alamo-Girl seemed to bend over backwards in being gracious and non-judgmental in her even-handed response.

And STILL you found fault.

I don't think I've seen a clearer example of what this thread is about.

By God or by arrogant, prissy folks with digestive problems?

[Cronos]

Then I am not misrepresenting him. He is misrepresenting Christianity. I said:

Ah, but there's the rub. He's not representing Christianity. He's representing his own religion.

[Lil Flower]

I grew up hearing it all. You know, Catholics worship Mary and statues. The pope is the antichrist. I believed it too because I didn’t know any better. But praise God the scales fell off!
However, what good things I did learn in the Baptist church I cherish. And I realize that it brought me to where I am today and I am grateful for that.
By the way, a kid asked my son when he was is high school if Catholics believed in Jesus and if we celebrated Christmas! Lol My son told him yeah we do, and we also sacrifice chickens every 3rd Thurs. Of each month. He handles these things better than I.

Been quite different here from virtually the beginning.

For some reason, Roman Catholics et al, Papists, Vatican affiliates seem to think they own the place and not only CAN Dictate dictionaries to use but a LOT of other sensibilities as well.

AND that everyone now in Vulcan mind-meld lock step with them is evil, bigoted, hate-filled etc.

Thankfully, God knows better.

[Quix]

Of course.

I even have been brought to the place I can love my enemies pretty easily and I don’t consider you an enemy.

[Cronos]

REBUKE OR EXCOMMUNICATE OPENLY PUBLIC SINNERS like kennedy,

Interesting you bring that up -- Kennedy was rebuked. You remember the stink he made about it in the media?

Does your grouping rebuke or publicly excommunicate openly public sinners? Of course, it depends on the size of the sub-group.

In 63 years I can’t recall a single sermon about what’s wrong with Catholocism.

[Quix]

Actually, my favorite teen pastor worked with Roman Catholics et al toward reducing troubles at the Jr High’s and High School with unsavory influences. I think there were other such joint efforts. I think other Pentecostals looked at him a bit askance but he was so well respected no one said much. He had some good praise for the Roman Catholics he worked with on such projects, but I don’t recall specifically what it was.

And my favorite church in San Diego also had kind things to say about Roman Catholics et al.

[Cronos]

I gather you object to the word 'some'? I would apply 'some' to any denomination with the proviso that they acknowledge Christ and His role as Redeemer. That number of 'some' is up to God. Jesus knows his own

Did you read my post? You said "People in them that acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior of course. It may even include some large 'C' catholics. " --> do you believe that SOME Catholics may not be saved or do you imply that SOME may be saved.

[Cronos]

As I stated earlier, disagreements isn't hatred.

Disagreements are not hatred. Repeated false statements in the same thread about what others believe, IS.

Christians are commanded to contend for the faith. How ever imperfectly, that is happening here. --> In a bunch of non-CAtholic posters, it is, in others, it isn't

[Quix]

Wow. That's actually worth a double Wow..

Alamo-Girl seemed to bend over backwards in being gracious and non-judgmental in her even-handed response.

And STILL you found fault.

I don't think I've seen a clearer example of what this thread is about.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT TO THE MAX. THANKS.

[Quix]

CORRECTION:

AND that everyone NOT in Vulcan mind-meld lock step with them is evil, bigoted, hate-filled etc.

[Religion Moderator]

Is the RM a priest?

I can neither confirm nor deny any such claim.

[Judith Anne]
