Wow. You know, it just hit me. How fickle the faith of a protestant. They are so obsessed with statues, rosaries, garments, pagan practices, Harry Potter you name it. They are so focused on externalities because they really have no faith in the power of Christ.
I guess it comes with treating Sacred Scripture like stereo instructions. Perhaps they should try living their faith instead of just reading about it.
Let this poster tell you something. I live by faith. I lost one of my daughters in 2004. In May, 2006, my brother was found dead. In July, 2006, my husband died from liver cancer, 2 weeks later my bil died, and in January, 2007, my mom died. If it had not been for my faith in Jesus, I could not have made it. It has really, really been hard but with God’s help, I have made it. He is risen.
FOTFLOL!!!! Those are CATHOLIC things.
What an indictment of Catholicism.
Hey, we're not the ones who adorn our churches with statues that we bow down to and pray to. WE don't say rosaries and add all the bells and whistles to our *worship* of God. I don't see Christian pastors dressed in long robes wearing fancy red shoes. Nor do we pray to dead people's body parts.
Take away from the Catholic church all the externals that you mentioned, and no Catholic would recognize it as Catholic.
You mean like Catholics need Mary to tell Jesus what to do?
