After watching the Catholics elect Obama in ‘08, they have no room to gloat.
Just the fact that he claims infallibility in anything makes him the fulfilment of Daniel’s prophecies in that he speaks great blasphemies.
You missed the point.
Mormons and Catholics complain all the time about negative posts while have no problem posting negative articles themselves.
Suggest you look at your own house and what is happening in the aftermath of Vatican II, the mass ordination of homosexual priests and the antics of Frankie.
Its ok, we know it isn’t aimed AT protestants. Like all propaganda, it is really more for internal consumption to keep the flock assured that they are correct.
Sorta like a soviet propaganda poster hanging in a Moscow subway.
I suspect so. I seldom see anything that gives me any unease. Same old hooey.
So what happens if a pope “goes bad”?
I know Catholics think popes are chosen by the Holy Spirit, but you only have to go back to the Middle Ages and Renaissance to find there were some pretty corrupt popes.
Perhaps the Protestants need their own Reformation? However, I agree with 2ndDivisionVet that the conservative denominations, that remain oriented on scripture, have stood fast against the socialist secular humanism that began infecting Protestant seminaries in the 1960s and has grown since then. Also the hierarchical Protestant denominations, less those few like LCMS and Baptists, have encouraged the social humanist agenda of the seminaries they control. FYI, I am a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
The light of Jesus alone? What about the Father and Holy Spirit?
Sort of funny when Catholic colleges, schools, religious orders, and charities are going full deviant sex rights.
Sorry.
“The Pope can only be “infallible” when speaking about FAITH and MORALS”
“Pope Innocent III (1198-1216 AD) forbade people from reading the Bible in their own language. Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241 AD) forbade members from possessing a Bible. Pope Paul IV (1555-9 AD) forbade the possession of translations without permission of the Inquisition. Pope Clement XI (1700-21 AD) condemned the reading of the Bible by the laity.” from http://www.netbiblestudy.net/catholic/
I suppose the word of God has nothing to do with faith and morals.
I believe that as CHRISTIANS, all of us need to focus on what is central, the gift of salvation God gave us through His Son Jesus. With the threat against Christianity from secular humanists, anti-Christian socialists, communism, and Islam, we need to remember what we have in common, not in difference.
There are multiple variations of Catholicism as well as in Protestantism, but we must all focus on Jesus, our Savior.
As was said at the time of the American Revolution (paraphrase) United we stand, divided we fall.

Actually the article sounds like something that forgets about the Orthodox Church, as if we don’t exist (in the West, anyway) or are not worth remembering!
In reality, the atheist-sodomite-muslim conspiracy is destroying Western Christian civilization so fast that Western Christians will NEED the Orthodox East to save them from total destruction!!!!
I’m really tired of all these articles that bash Catholics.
Oh, wait...
The seven churches in Asia in the Book of Revelation. Jesus found fault with every single one, some worse than others. He nevere told one person to leave any of those churches. And they were real churches with real Christians worshipping in them. Their descendants may still be Orthodox Christians in Turkey today, I don't know; there has been a lot of persecution.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!! "lest there be a falling away first" comes to mind. Of course the Catholic Church led the way by including pagan practices to entice pagans to join long before there was a Protestant. Protestant churches are daughters of the Catholic Church and simply incorporating societal practices learned from the mother church.
Truly a flawed and poorly reasoned article. You would have to not understand churches and the differences between Christian churches and those who are cut off and are Christian in name only.
Christ taught this difference in the opening chapters of the final book of the New Testament. Somehow, the author of the article is unfamiliar with Christ’s words.
“Protestants bailed out when they accepted artificial birth control in the 1930s, leaving the Catholics alone to battle Hollywood and pornography. “
Ah, you might want to rethink your claim about battling Hollywood and pornography alone. It is false.
As to Catholic use of artificial birth control...
“Mary Gautier, editor of The CARA Report, said the average size of a U.S. Catholic household is the same as the national average, 2.6 persons per household.”
It's the only organization that matches the criteria. No other entity even comes close.
