Your comment: “Rather, most all your posts are simply continually asserting beliefs that have been refuted and one can only wish were established. Including the premise that God’s Word is whatever Rome says it is.”
That is you false personal opinion because you reject some of God’s Truth, His Catholic Church, the authority that Jesus gave His Church, some of His Sacraments including the Real Presence in the Eucharist.
While the Catholic Church recognizes valid Baptisms and that there are many similar beliefs we share with protestants and there is a hope for reconciliation with all christians, there is also a recognition that many are imperfect in their faith in God with their rejection of key revealed truths from God.
Jesus in His Mercy does see into a person’s heart and wants us to repent and change.
I try to share my Catholic faith that is God’s Truth as best as I can. I am concerned for many that say they have faith but have rejected many revealed truths. We have been asked to pray for the conversion of sinners by the Blessed Mother as Jesus is upset that many are following the ways of the world that will prevent many from sharing eternal life with Him.
Wow. Your Jesus is so impotent He has to ask mommy to appeal to people on His behalf? Shows you where the Roman church life it’s priorities. Where was Mary ever give. the power authority or ability to communicate with people from beyond the grave?
There is not much said of Mary in Scripture after the birth of Christ. It’s almost like God knee a cult would form around the worship - excuse me generation (cough) of her and He didn’t feed the error. weird.
I got baptized in the Catholic Church, as an infant, or so my parents told me. I was too young to remember. After I left the church, while I was at Mountain Home, I later, got baptized at 21, in the swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam. Yes, believe it or not, we DID have a swimming pool in a war zone. It was weird, but I saw it with my own eyes. There were 3 of us, but I think I was the only ex catholic. We made 7th AF and PACAF news. 👍
*Catholic teaching* and *God’s Truth* are oxymorons.
God’s Truth is Scripture, not Catholic fairy tales and wishful thinking
Mary has nothing to do with our salvation and praying to her does nothing. And Jesus is u*upset*????Oh boo hoo...... Poor (Catholic) Jesus. He sounds like such a wimp.
And it sounds like Catholics are trying to guilt trip people into obeying Catholicism by claiming that *Oh look, you made Jesus sad*.
Sheesh........
“ there is also a recognition that many are imperfect in their faith in God with their rejection of key revealed truths from God.”
The homosexual Catholic priesthood is a good example - in fact that isn’t imperfect. It is opposite of God’s revelation.
Yet it is fully accepted in the Vatican, where the also worshipped fertility idols.
And then there is the horrific child sexual a use by your priests, and the coverup by your leadership.
This abuse occurred worldwide and for decades, under multiple popes.
Pro Tip:
Christ’s church isn’t gay, isn’t idolatrous, and isn’t filled with sexual abusers.
You should find a Christian Church ADSUM.
