Mom, those are not corpses. Those are skeletons. Lacking in anatomical knowledge as well?

Well nobody can know everything, but we can certainly say that other churches haven't gotten caught red handed doing those things. Better?

Yehova’s Bible cannot be “canonized” by men.

The pillar of deceit claims to have canonized the Bible, but I shall go with Yehova’s Holy Spirit revealing his word to me, as the word so declares

Yes, 154 says all we need to know.

I’m confident that she’ll get her wish.

Well now that you mention it, the Roman Catholic faith seems to have an odd obsession with cadavers, skeletons, earthly remains...

You’re supposed to ping me. You remind me of Robert Mitchum in “Night of the Hunter.” Wikipedia is your friend - and it’s not a compliment.

I don’t know what this refers to since the link doesn’t work. (I’m not a fan of Dan Brown.) But one thing I know: when we are pushing up the daisies, the historians will be talking about our indecent love of abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, woman-hatred and war. But they will reflect that the Catholic Church stood firm against all of these horrors. And for that, I will remain a steadfast Catholic.

Sure, and Santa Muerte is a “death cult”... a blatantly pagan throwback. Are you really comfortable that your church’s practices are comparable to theirs?

All religions are throwbacks. Western Christianity has strong roots in the pagan art of Rome. The reason? It’s a way of drawing in converts. It’s a new religion but it also reminds people of “the old” religion. It’s why Catholics have always used black figures in art in trying to convert folks in Africa.

Grotesque and Demonic.

Necromancers and idolators have no claim on Yehova’s rest.

Really?

Pedophile ‘priests’ against homosex?

Necromancers against necromancy?

LOL!

Queston: if you ruled the world, what would you do with the Sistine Chapel? Burn it or preserve it?

Those photos look fresh, were they taken in museums or catholic churches?

They still seem to be using the gold drenched skeletons for rituals.

AKA Combining Paganism and Christianity. AKA Whoring around with other religions and gods.

Don’t forget the statistics of how Catholics voted, persistently liberal, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, because, after all, the Dems are *for the poor* as you can see here.

They’re for everyone else paying for the poor.

They could be selling that jewelry and using it to buy food, provide medical care, build hospitals and schools.

Can you imagine far that money could go in the third world hell holes that predominantly Catholic countries tend to be?
