Monsignor Pope Ping!
**The 5th Mark of the Church: She is Hated by the World.**
That statement is even true on FR religion forum.
The Mormons would dispute you over this, the fact that that the world hates them, they say, is proof to them that THEY, not you, are the true church.
True Christians, though we strongly disagree with both cults, do not hate either. RCC’s on this forum, and Mormons, can’t discern the difference between people disagreeing with their claims, and hating them.
I think there are a lot more catholic bashing threads than Mormon bashing threads.
Would be interesting to keep track of for a month.
Catholicism is not a cult. It is the one true church founded by Jesus Christ.

It’s not bashing, its called witnessing the truth. The RF of FR is no place for anybody that can’t handle people disagreeing with them.
Papists could get away with that kind of talk in medieval times, but, thanks to the Bible being now available to any and all, no more. RCC claims do not square with the facts in the Bible.
One would have to be blind, not to see it.
You use the word Papists.
I’ve heard it said that many people who don’t like the Catholic Church use it because it irritates Catholics, is that true?
Re: my post 8. Pope Francis, supposedly over the whole of Christianity, is a main definitive of the RCC. Do you not believe that? If so, then you are a Papist. Just stating the truth that’s all.
I was just calling attention to your use of the word. Look it up. It is slang. Why not just say Catholics?
Another reason is that Christ is the founder of the Catholic Church. There was NO OTHER church for 1500 years until Luther did his thing.
So perhaps that is why I get upset by the word, Papists, since it denigrates the Most Holy Name of Christ.
Yes, Christ did set in motion with St. Peter and the apostles the means to continue his Church. But it all comes from Christ, doesn’t it?
Good night.
BTW, we don’t have a Papist Caucus on FR — LOL! We have a Catholic Caucus — thank God!
Salvation is followed and her posts appreciated by thousands, if not many tens of thousands.
Sasportas, we appreciate your efforts, but frankly you've got a ways to go to catch up to her.
It’s not slang, its fact. Stop claiming that Pope Francis is the head of the rest of us Christians, and the irritation you speak of will go away. Until you do, you are Papists.
Thanks, steve.
Dang it. I missed #16.
So did I.
