‘persons within the church who did not handle things properly were at fault there....not the church.’ So the church is comprised persons not in the church.

note the word WITHIN in my response....within means that they were indeed members....some fairly high ranking....sadly

Sorry to see you go.

Most translations use the phrase “You shall not bear false witness” or something similar.

>>what you bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven protects the Catholic church from erring in matters of faith and morals.<<

That's a corruption of the Greek the Catholic Church has perpetuated to the gullible. The phrase is "shall have been bound in heaven". The apostles could only declare what had been already been bound in heaven. Heaven never was and never will be bound to the dictates of man.

>>If the church declared, as a matter of church dogma that Mary was assumed into Heaven, she was protected from error in so doing<<

Not if they teach a different gospel than the apostles taught.

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Please show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.

I stated one of the Ten Commandments. That’s all I did. But I’m out of here, obviously no room for Catholics in the FR religion forum on your watch.

You know what they say - "Don't go away mad..."

“Not one of them purports to be the vicar of Christ”.

What Pope was a child molester?

"They were agents of the church. Therefore the church is legally responsible."

=============================================================

Do you hold these guys responsible for what Judas Iscariot did?

If you can't your statement stand as pure hyperbole.

I chose the Church as an adult...

Can I ask, "At what age? From what background?"

Show me in scripture where there is more than one church.

Well, John mentioned seven in Asia in Revelation.

...the issue of how to rate each of the thousands of different strip mall Christian doctrine outlets, wasn't the big issue.

The 7 in Asia seems to have been QUITE a big deal to GOD; they all seemed to have different doctrines.

Poorly catechized folks from the getgo.

What is WRONG with this picture?

Just in case you did NOT realize it; SM pays NO attention to what great Catholic leaders and teachers of the past have said.

Interesting that they keep telling us we don’t know what the Catholic Church says but we still have to show them what it teaches.

Why does FR attract the poorly catechized ones?

Well; at least I am learning all about Catholicism!

There is only one true complete Christian church on Earth and it is the Catholic church..eastern and western are both still united in their authenticity as the true church.

With TWO popes?

That means she’s a lapsed Catholic and any time she wants to start going back to Mass she only needs to go to Confession.

Ha!

I can go to Mass without EVER going to 'confession'.

Is there anyway you can send me a message where the entire forum does(?) read the comments. I need to discuss some things and have no way.
