PopeWatch: Deviant Forms of Religion

....”99% of the Religion Forum is from Catholics posting articles about the Catholic faith. And of course if these articles are not labeled Caucus they are immediately attacked by the usual suspects.”.....

Most are spam anyway as it’s slathered all over FR. But you know those who do so could always stop doing so, then you wouldn’t have a problem with those who oppose catholicism.

[JoeFromSidney]

1. The deity of Christ

2. The virgin birth

3. The inerrancy of Scripture

4. The blood atonement

5. The Resurrection

Catholics and the left have long used "fundamentalist" as a catch word. Usually its the evil Protestants that are "fundamentalist."

In reality, the Catholic Church accepts every one of the five characteristics of "fundamentalist." I've long recognized that by that definition we Catholics are fundamentalists, too.

Whoever came up with the idea that any man other than Jesus Christ is “Holy” and a “Father” no less would have been outed today as a cult leader by the Body of Christ.

...”Written by a doctor in the Catholic church...See where all those fancy degrees and great education will get you?”....

Just as with Islam..the deeper you go the more bound and insane one becomes. Their inability to see the obvious, let alone discuss them, goes out the door. They are in the dark leading others who are also willfully blind....right off the cliff!

[Mark17]

Written by a doctor in the Catholic church.

See where all those fancy degrees and great education will get you?

Just having fancy degrees and great education, does not guarantee one has the common sense to come in out of the rain.

Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV: "One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215) [considered infallible by some]

For me, this one takes the cake...Apparently there are Catholic priests here on FR who stand up in front of the sheeple and tell them that they are Jesus Christ, in the flesh...

We know where they get that from and it's not God...

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Won't they have fun when they bow before the 'real' Jesus Christ...

[metmom]

When I read that, I did a double take as well.

I think it’s so poorly written that they didn’t make clear that it is Jesus who is the priest and offers Himself as the sacrifice.

But considering how Catholics will take some weird thing and run with it, I’m surprised they haven’t already.

TD Jakes and Ted Haggard are not the leaders of any denomination. Haggard is a disgraced homosexual that needs to quit preaching and Jakes is pastor at a mega church. I said show me where I had put down leaders of a particular denomination. The others you mentioned were mass murderers.

[NKP_Vet]

Can sure tell fallen away Catholics. Some know the words of all the popes so well. Thanks. I’ll copy and paste your post. Keep up the good work. You did learn something as a Catholic. By the way there is no salvation outside the
church, as in Catholic Church. Of all people on FR you know this.

[NKP_Vet]

Luther’s off-spring and Islam were founded for the same reason? To tear down and destroy God’s One, True, Church. You’re in good company.

[Elsie]

“Even if the Pope were Satan incarnate, we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope; we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.”

[St, Catherine of Siena, SCS p 201-202, p222 (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Matauc, Book 5, “The Book of Obedience”, Chapter 1]

WOW!

Looks like a BUNCH of our FR Catholics are in TROUBLE!!!

[Elsie]

It suggests that the original form is a true and good religion and the deviant forms are what is false and evil.

Catholic teaching is that all false religions are just that....false. The only true religion is the Catholic religion.

1 Timothy 4:1    Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,

Revelation 1:4-6, 11,

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,

⁵ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

⁶ And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

 

¹¹ Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to  Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to  Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

(Read the 2nd and 3rd chapters to see what ERROR these 'CATHOLIC CHURCHES' were involved in.)

[Elsie]

I've long recognized that by that definition we Catholics are fundamentalists, too.

WhileI know that you Catholics are dragging around a LOT more extra, unneeded spiritual baggage.

[Elsie]

By the way there is no salvation outside the church, as in Catholic Church.

Do you REALLY believe this; in light of what LEARNED CAtholics have said?

Why should anyone believe you over them?

[Elsie]

To tear down and destroy God’s One, True, Church.

Who 'tore down' YOUR chosen religion's churches mentioned by John in his revelation?

Who was teaching ERROR in them?

Who 'poorly catechized' them?

Mohamed or Luther?

[CynicalBear]

If it were not for double speak Catholics wouldn’t have much to say.
