Really? When did that church start?
There. Fixed that one too!
Let's see now... The Teacher... that would be... Jesus?
Correct, the HS is God and cannot fail!
I can’t believe you asked that.
Why can’t you believe I asked something you posted about? You posted the name of it.
Where did you get that info from and when DID IT START?
It’s fun to see you dabble in things you don’t know about. Keep seeking, you might find.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
It does not appear that you are tracking well...
Heh, check out 2045, too. LOL
However, it IS "making it personal" to badger the other poster, making the thread "about" him or her.
Stop the personal remarks and attacks or leave the thread, Cronos.

Sort of like saying, repetitively, that Catholics worship Mary? Is that a good example?
Yes, I have to admit I have been extremely naive; I had a much higher opinion of non-Catholics before I started following this thread.
What was that story about the plank and the splinter?
Just to settle it and leave no doubt.
To show that someone in the Vatican has some, er... backbone.
Catholic bemoan what has become of their church and I see lack of church discipline as being one of the reasons.
Besides, the true church is obligated to exercise some level of church discipline.
Paul did it and encouraged it. Maybe that’s the problem.....
It was Paul.
Me, too.
I have a lot of non-Catholic friends and relatives. None of them act like the anti-Catholic bigots on FR's Religion Forum. Instead, there is mutual respect and fellowship. None of my non-Catholic friends and relatives tell me what I believe, either.
Perhaps it's the anonymity of the internet?
Still, not what I consider Christ-like behavior.
“I have no way of knowing when anyone is “spamming the abuse button.” Do you?”
Yeah, stuff like this addressed to Catholics.......

No, because former Catholics KNOW.
You personally may not, but when someone bows down to, lights candles to, and prays to Mary, it has all of the qualifications of worship.
Catholics would have a lot less trouble convincing people that they didn't worship Mary if they didn't act like they're worshiping Mary.
There's too much of a disconnect there to give their statements any credibility.
