Controversial, yes, but true. Otherwise, we don’t believe in Church dogma or the reality of the sin of heresy.
Michael Voris makes some good points in this video. To the line “we don’t talk about religion and politics here,” he has added a third forbidden subject, sex. Regarding the older form of that yarn, Brother Francis once made an innocently humorous response to someone while he was out doing our work on the streets. A man said to him, “There are two things, we don’t talk about here!”
To which Brother responded, with a slightly feigned naïveté, “Really? What are those?”
“Religion and Politics!” responded the man.
And Brother said, “What’s wrong with politics?”

If they have never had faith alone in Christ alone, they aren’t believers, not have eternal life.
A big question mark for you. Then why are all those Catholic Churches under the Pope?
You see, they do agree on basics, there are difference in language and other little things.
NYer attends a Maronite church and has talked about the difference in the Kiss of Peace ritual at the Maronite Church. But it is still Catholic!
Many “Protestants” are pro-abortion.
Many “Catholics” are pro-abortion.
Your argument is, to be direct, stupid.
Follow Christ, and to hell with your pro-denominational evangelism. Preach Christ, not your denomination. Draw people to Jesus, not to Mary or your priest or to your parish.
Paul well describes our Lord Christ Jesus as a mediator in Galatians 3. Why does the RCC doubt Paul so frequently?
A nice summation of Catholic denominations.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 St Paul asks us to become mediators between God and man.
It isn’t answering His call to become Catholic, rather, to answer His call they must exercise faith alone in Christ alone first.
If the RCC local church provides a pastor teacher to further train the new believer, great!
If they instead place faith in the RCC as their mediator, they have no salvation, but merely a religious set of rituals counterfeiting as a way to God. Lots of people get sidetracked by the Roman ritual and then confuse good works with a sanctified walk.
Rites, not denominations. They are all under the Pope. They are all Catholic.
1Timothy 2:5 shows differently.
1Ti 2:1-5
(1) I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
(2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
(3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
(4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
(5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Just as much denominations as any Protestant denomination.
NO, they all say the same Mass. It’s just done in different languages. There may be some small differences; NYer talks about the Maronite Church that she attends and how they do the Sign of Peace......but it is still a Catholic Mass.
The Catholic Church teaches the moral truth. That the church has sinners is a given. Countless protestant denominations do not teach moral truth. Now that’s a fact Jack.
Every pope of all time will roast in hell, why would those that are in Yeshua want to join them?
Jesus established a visible Church (Catholic Church) and wants it’s members to be part of a community (church).
Do do yourself a favor and quit watching TV on Sunday morning and find yourself a church. Preferably a Catholic Church. No man is an island.
I’ve witnessed different doctrines practiced by the different denominations/rites of the RCC. By no means are they the same.
Return to God so He might return to you.

They are all bound for hell for worship of creation, and praying to dead creatures.
Of what specifics do you speak. You are an unusual person, for most non-Catholics have rarely attended a Mass.
The word Protestant means protester and they have good reasons for protesting the Catholic Church and its dogma. Until the Catholic Church changes and follows the word of God I see no reason to follow the Catholic Church.
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord....according to the Bible not the Catholic Church.
