Archbishop Fulton Sheen once wrote: “There are not over a hundred people in the United State who hate the Roman Catholic Church; there are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church.”
I was one of those who hated because of what I wrongly believed about the Catholic Church. The reason I had these beliefs was due to being told what to believe about the Catholic Church from those who were told what to believe about the Catholic Church. No one was willing to find out what the bottom line was concerning the Catholic Church. Everything said about the Church was taken as truth while it seemed no one was delving into what the truth really was.
What about these Catholics? They worshipped Mary. They had a religion but not a relationship with Jesus Christ. They said they believed in God but really their belief couldn’t be the same, could it? The Bible says in James 2:19 KJV “Thou believest that there is one God; Thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble”.
So do Catholics have a belief such as the devils? When most Catholics are asked if they have been “born again” or “have accepted Christ as their Savior”, their main response is “I believe in God” or “I am a good person”, or “I’m Catholic”. Also, they have all these rituals, Saints, Statues and what about the Pope is he really standing in for God? Another big item, are they cannibals when they eat the bread and drink the wine during communion? Why do they leave Jesus on the cross, don’t they realize Jesus has risen from the dead?

I'm sure if we NEVER posted another thread they would be delighted as they could continue to transform Free Republic into another Pro-Catholic propaganda website unopposed.
Someone is projecting.
Fish barf!
Looks like I was saved a lot of time; not having to read the deleted stuff.

It was sort of a tantrum that exploded. I’m not sure why.
See this is what happens when I go outside to shovel the 5+ inches of global warming.

Does that make him his own pope?
Whales are large, intelligent, aquatic mammals. They breathe air through blowhole(s) into lungs (unlike fish who breathe using gills). Whales have sleek, streamlined bodies that move easily through the water.

I'm with you on that one.
... be glad you only had 5! I just finished closer to 9 or 10. Snow-blowers are a great invention. I just let it propel itself forward or backward and plod along behind.
LOL!!!
I hear ya!
Yeah, but that's the fun part...When you're superior...you're superior!!!
I’m SO glad my wife talked me into finally getting one last year!
(It does NOT like my 300’ gravel drive though!)
did you notice that I did NOT include quotation marks.....""those little things??
They called my wife in early. Sent a 4 Wheel drive to pick her and told her to bring at least one change of clothes.
Depending on who you believe we could get up to 10".
When you have NOTHING to say, just jump up and down REAL HARD on what others say....yeah, that'll work!
Had one up north with a gravel drive. Do not ask me how the basement window got broke the second time I used it.
Looking for one down here. I can handle our drive no problem. But the woman next door is around 80 and there is no way I am letting her do her drive way. The woman across the street is 60+ her drive is literally 70 yards long, is steep and has a curve. No way I am letting her do that either.
