I think people make their own choices about faith and denominations. God will sort it out.

For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”. (Romans 10:13-15)

The name Sister Katherine Marie still send shivers down my and my sisters' spines. She taught math and if you didn't understand the lesson, she brought you to the blackboard, her face mere inches from your face (she spit when she yelled and you dared not try to wipe your face), then mushing your face into the blackboard as if you might get it if you could only see it better. She struck fear in everyone in class.

Sister Mary Stigmata:

You two are such a disappointing pair!
I prayed so hard for you both.
It saddens and hurts me that the two young men whom I raised to believe in the Ten Commandments have returned to me as two thieves with filthy mouths, disgusting lies and bad attitudes.

Get out! And don't come back...until you've redeemed yourselves.

HA. Yeah, your ‘church’ was perverting the Gospel with selling indulgences, throwing wild parties, and running brothels specifically for priests. And yet the TRUE Church still existed among those who believed in Christ alone as the source of salvation, despite all the efforts of your ‘church’ to snuff it out. Dr. Luther just provided a place for the true Church to come out of the shadows of Rome’s heresy.

were there sinners in the church...well, yes there were..Dr. Luther was a fallen away priest who decided that he knew better that the 1,600 year old church established by Christ and led by thousands of very learned scholars and real doctors of the true church....he was WRONG.

"Hail Mary, Mother of GOD is NOT 'from the bible'!!

Spruce up on the Hail Mary...We say Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.....all from the bible....then was add a request......Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners....now, and at the hour of our death...

Pure speculation on your part. As noted by the words *IF* and *PROBABLY*.

Of course...we were seeking possible instances where a priest would choose not to grant absolution.....like leaving the church perhaps...

.and the Hail Mary is directly from the Bible....we just add a request that she pray for us sinners at the end.... Can't be both. You just disproved your own position by admitting that Catholics added to the claim that the prayer was in the Bible.

Yeah...it can be both....a prayer DIRECTLY from the Bible with a request that the subject of the prayer, Mary, pray for us.....you needed to pay mare attention in Catechism class.....sigh.

So it’s only age that determines the worthiness of your religion? Then why aren’t you a Baal worshipper?

We are discussing Christianity....if we all agree that it is the true religion, then Catholicism becomes the true form....it existed from the beginning, not from a dissident priest 1,600 years later.

No heaven for you unless you become a Catholic. Ha ha. Not a snow balls chance. I did like you, I left the RCC, never to return. 😂

Eat your heart out bro. It's a beautiful thing to be my own pope. I think maybe you are jealous. 😊 Now, my opinion is, the rest of the points you make, are just false Catholic propaganda.
I was amazed at the Catholics I went to high school with. Most are involved in divorce, and birth control. I don't know how many are into abortions, but I suspect some of them are. Most lead grossly sinful lives. Kind of like me, before I dumped the RCC. Praise God for that. I know at least two of them were Hillary supporters, due to them being rabidly pro abortion. I still remember their names
I was also was amazed at how many are liberals too. I got into it with some of them, not because I dumped the RCC, but because of liberal political issues. I got no time for them. Maybe you should get off your holier than thou, sactimonious catholic high horse, and clean up the catholic house, before you condemn anyone else.
I think I will stick with the Navigators, whether you like it or not. 🙃 Now, if you don't mind, I feel like committing the sin of presumption, while I enjoy my assurance of salvation. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you have any assurance. Oh well, that's on you. 😙

Help me out here...was first century Catholicism (technically NOT in the first century) the "true form" or the one that exists under that name today? Because they are definitely NOT the same. In fact, the word "catholic" (lower case c) wasn't even used for the first time until the early second century and it was talking about the universal faith of the Christian community made up of local assemblies whose members were part of the body of Christ, His bride.

Except the greeting of the angel Gabriel to Mary wasn't a "prayer". Maybe you needed to pay more attention to the Bible and less about what your catechism tells you.

Oho, so you DO admit that it’s truth, not age, that determines the worth of the church?

Since age isn’t a factor any more, now we can focus completely on how true the claims of Catholicism are in relation to the Word of God rather than some fatuous claims about being right because you’re older.

Then I’m going to accuse Roman Catholicism of heresy, and make the case that the Roman church has had its lampstand removed, just as Jesus has said to churches before—see Revelation.

Are you ready to answer my points about the lies that Rome has spread in blatant contradiction of the Word of God?

Nonsense.

Show us the book, chapter, and verses that the Hail Mary is lifted from.

The entire prayer as it is as that is what you are claiming.

Which true form of Catholicism?

The Roman rite?

Or the Eastern Orthodox?

Or Ukrainian Catholic?

Or Greek Orthodox?

Or Russian Orthodox?

Or the tradionalists?

Or the sedevacantists?

Pre- Vatican 2 or post Vatican 2?
