The one sure sign of ignorance of Catholic teaching is to try to interpret Catholic doctrine and dogma by the actions of Catholics.

Yeah; one can only do that through the actions of bad PROTestant leaders!

A Christian is someone who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The most important question is have you done that? If you have not, no amount of catechism teaching will matter a hill of beans.

Again, for the catholic, everything has to go through Mary.

I'll be glad when the interstate bridge is finally repaired.

This detour adds many miles and minutes to my trip.

This is just an egregious insult. Consider the impact of this kind of contempt: does it really advance the kind of mutual respect we want to have?

How is that different than this?

Pretty disrespectful.

Eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus is pretty disrespectful too, when instead, He was referring to how He was fulfilling the Seder as the Passover Lamb and wished his disciples to remember Him (as often as they willed) and what He was about to FINISH once and for all time. He was not proscribing these Jews become cannibals.

If it were not, then some posters on here have it all wrong because they have posted that. The first time I read that I was really shocked.

Yeah, I saw that. There MUST be some kind of catechism that speaks of KNOWING BEFORE TALKING. Or maybe not..There’s a whole lotta talking and an even more abundant notta knowing going on in Tiberville.

That is completely wrong. Every church I have ever been to taught from the Bible.

Pretty disrespectful.

I agree!

Why has Rome created this person that it calls Mary?


Just which of the statements I posted does NOT reflect Catholic teaching?

which translates as: churches throughout all

Sorry but you can't get 'Catholic' out of that...It does not refer to 'all' churches...The 'all is in connection with Jedaea and Galilee...

And by looking at Revelation 1-3 we can see that the churches were not universal...So again, Catholic teaching right out the window...

...but more painful to hear it from one of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

You've HEARD it from your CHURCH.

Where else does your religious community believe there were churches at this time ?

And by looking at Revelation 1-3 we can see that the churches were not universal...So again, Catholic teaching right out the window...>o

When does your religious community believe Revelation was written ?
