Well, most of their beliefs do, indeed, come from the Bible, and they held them for 1,600 years before Prots were even thought of....
You never even had a pope until after 600 AD...
Constantine combined a break-away religious sect with his politics and massive army and ruled with terror...Everyone in the military was ultimately forced to become Roman Catholic...
That was the beginning of the period known as the Dark Ages...Where Christians were murdered, bibles destroyed if they refused Catholicism...
They convinced you that you can't become a Christian without the Catholic religion...
Try it...Get away from all those pedophiles and queers like so many other former Catholic have done...They are not sorry...You won't be either...
what I’ve seen on here, you can say they come from the biblle with paraphrasing going on.
Man cannot forgive sins.
I go back to when the Kennedy family was in politics..
John, Ted, Robert and others... they could divorce, and all kinds of living.. and not be excommunicated.... a priest would wink and nod in their direction. As long as a priest gave it a pass,.... but did God?
I knew a lady years ago and her priest visited her often in her home...she was a young lady and pretty. . he was there at least once a week...
Just a wink and a nod by a priest says it’s ok?
It’s one way of a life, I guess....
Anything I might say just stirs up others. I don’t tell you how to live, but these catholics do....I am 100% against the catholic religion/church.. and best to leave me out of any discussion.
So you would eat a bowl of sweet oatmeal if it only had a teaspoon of strychnine in it?
