This Catholic does his best to provide cogent responses to comments about the different beliefs of our FReeper sisters and brothers in Christ, using Scriptural references to support Catholic teachings and using Catholic documents to correct untrue statements about Catholic beliefs.
Call it whining if you want, but please recognize that the following comments in your post are very hurtful:
Roman cult
off-the-wall beliefs
Silly and carnal superstitions
Eating bread and whine (deliberate)
Empty gilt halls
pride and fancily-gowned men
warm fuzzies
You also made several comments that are untrue, including:
Seeking some goddess
Jesus is not the one that they have at the top!
They want to show him as a baby in His mother’s arms
or leave Him on the Cross.
You did make some statements that every Catholic believes. They are:
There is no other name under Heaven by which we must be saved!!!
Jesus is the Reason!
Jesus is the way. Jesus is the Truth. Jesus is the life.
Thanks be to God, He promises us eternal life with Him. Praise God, from Whom ALL blessings flow!
Please allow me to share with you the Catholic Greater Doxology:
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.
you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
You alone are the Lord,
You alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
With the Holy Spirit,
In the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
In looking over my post, I want to make one correction. We do show Jesus as a baby in His mother’s arms. But isn’t this Scriptural?
Really?
That is so sad.
I used to get picked on a lot as a kid by the thugs down the street.
I had to walk two blocks out of my way just to avoid them.
Love is not boastful. It keeps no record of wrongs.
It is patient, kind...
