Wow! As I read through that I couldn’t help but think back to the dark ages and the evil that was perpetrated by the RCC under the guise of religion. Forbidding a lay person even to engage in debate about the faith shows both a fear within the RCC and an attempt at complete control to the point of torture for so much as discussing ones beliefs with others. The obvious Satanic evil perpetrated by that organization throughout its history should alert any who cherish their eternal future to denounce any affiliation and ask forgiveness for associating with it.

It’s not difficult to envision the evil they will again perpetrate during the Tribulation after the true church is taken from this earth. The dark ages were simply a dress rehearsal for what is to come.

One of daniel's references was to the 4th Lateran Council of 1215. That certainly is a very interesting document-one that I believe Catholics would sooner forget. You will note that Catholics here, while the pretent to say that they go back to the early church fathers, their posts for the most part quote sources from the Council of Trent and forward. (There are some minor quotes from the early fathers but not doctrinal discussions from them.) Catholic religious viewpoint is from the 1500s-not the early church. That is the difference between the Reformers who went back to the source.
