Yes. Jesus knows all. Catholics pray together at Mass and we pray together with the Blessed Mother and the Saints in Heaven (who are alive in Heaven) as Jesus told us.

Seems like, and it always had even when I was a Catholic, that they do their best to see how much sin they can get away with without worrying if it’s going to land them in hell forever.

When I was a catholic, I was playing a legalistic game. I asked several priests, what exactly WAS a mortal sin? The best they could do, was to say, if it’s of a serious nature, it’s probably a mortal sin. Serious nature? Probably a mortal sin? Are they kidding me? That is about as stupid, as saying he doesn’t interpret scripture, he just reads it and tells me what it says. 🤯 I wanted to sin, but I only wanted to commit venial sins, up to, but just short of mortal sins. I wanted to avoid the big M. 🤣😁 How about them apples?
After years of that, I found I couldn’t resist committing mortal sins anymore, I just wanted to avoid committing mortal sins of sacrilege, or the new one I just learned about a few days ago, a mortal sin of calumny. I was looking at a catholic site, and it also mentioned the sin of detraction. Maybe it’s a mortal sin of detraction. 🤗 Who knows for sure. When I knew I couldn’t resist even those SPECIAL mortal sins, I gave up and sinned till I was blue in the face. 😁 Things are different now. 👍 I was never a woke catholic, however. I did not attribute to Satan, almost everything other people said. We never hear that, do we? 🙃🤑🤣🤪😆😉😔

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that mortal sin “destroys charity in the heart of man” (1855) and that “to die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God’s merciful love means remaining separated from him forever by our own free choice”

Gee whiz bro, I don’t do the catechism, the sacraments, or Catholic answers. All I want to know, is WHERE do you plan to spend eternity? 🔥 A rather simple question, I would suspect. Calling all ex catholics. Being an ex catholic is a beautiful thing. I am comfortable being outside the Catholic Church. I am sure my friends are too. 👍😆😊🤑🤣🤪

Is it your opinion that ONLY Catholics can be forgiven and reconciled to God?

Who cares about his opinion?

This is EXACTLY what the RCC teaches!!


"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."

--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

 

 

 "We are compelled in virtue of our faith to believe and maintain that there is only one holy Catholic Church, and that one is apostolic. This we firmly believe and profess without qualification. Outside this Church there is no salvation and no remission of sins, the Spouse in the Canticle proclaiming: 'One is my dove, my perfect one. One is she of her mother, the chosen of her that bore her' (Canticle of Canticles 6:8); which represents the one mystical body whose head is Christ, of Christ indeed, as God. And in this, 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism' (Ephesians 4:5). Certainly Noah had one ark at the time of the flood, prefiguring one Church which perfect to one cubit having one ruler and guide, namely Noah, outside of which we read all living things were destroyed… We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff."

--Pope Boniface VIII, Bull Unam sanctam (A.D. 1302)

The real Mary would be turning over in her grave, if she knew a certain religion had made her into a demigoddess.


Ecclesiastes 9:1-6

1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.

2 It is the same for all, since the same event happens

to the righteous and the wicked,

to the good and the evil,

to the clean and the unclean,

to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.

As the good one is, so is the sinner, and

he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

 

3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4 But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.

Sorry that it is long, but I thought it was all worthwhile.

No doubt.

Then there are the replies directed your way that do not even receive the time of day.

I think that shows a certain lack of worthiness on your part.

Do you think that Diana and the Catholic Mary, are essentially the same? I realize both are false, non existent Demigoddesses.

Your mother should wash your mouth with soap.

How can you call yourself a christian and make disgusting images of God? Get behind me, Satan.

You should read St Faustina’a Diary about $10 where Jesus showed her Hell which could be your future home when one dies in mortal sin.

Jesus opened the jails for people to be free through Him. Freedom is a wonderful thing. Religion keeps people in jail, and eventually sends them to The Lake of Fire. 👎

Get triggered much bro? How is asking you, if you are into necromancy, making disgusting images of God? Praying to Mary and the saints, is essentially, necromancy. I am not into that. 😁🤪 Besides, how do you know the “saints” are actually in Heaven? Many of them, might actually be in Hell. Why would you want to pray to someone in Hell?

You should read St Faustina’a Diary about $10 where Jesus showed her Hell which could be your future home when one dies in mortal sin.

Sorry bro, I am not into these visions, especially when they contain false doctrine. There is no such thing as “mortal sins.” I have no doubt this person may have seen some sort of vision, like the Mormon Joe Smith, but if she did, it was probably a fallen angel, masquerading as an angel of light. The people at Fatima saw fallen angels, claiming to be Mary. Sorry bro, I just don’t accept catholic doctrines. I gave it up, years ago. I am comfortable with that. 👍😁🤗😆 You didn’t answer a previous question. Where do you plan to spend eternity bro? 🔥 And stop calling everyone who disagrees with you, Satan. I could say the same about you, but it makes the accuser look really foolish. 👎 Callng ex Catholics. 🤑

Why would Jesus show any of His Children hell?

SMH...

Any apparition of “Mary” is demonic.
They get fooled by the same old trick every time.

Isn’t there a movie or tv show you could quote to support your position? It would have more authority.

I forgot to mention. When dealing with people in false religions, we have to clarify, what Christian freedom is. Many of them think that freedom means you are free to live like hell. ABSOLUTELY NOT. It means we are free, and no long slaves to the bondage of sin, and are free to do as we should, not as we please. In no way, does it authorize us to live like hell. I think that is what they would like to do, but that won’t cut the mustard. 👍
