The Vatican is losing the world's largest Catholic country, and Marxist-sexualist liberation theology is no more successful than Marxist-political liberation theology, writes CatholicHerald.co.uk (December 12)
• At the current rate, Catholics will make up less than 50% of all Brazilians by July 2023.
• Nearly one in five Latin Americans now describe themselves as Protestant Pentecostals.
• Until the failed Vatican II, at least 90% of Latin America was Catholic.
• One reason for this fiasco is "liberation theology", which put politics above religion.
• Most Catholics left the secularised Council Church because they were looking for religion, not for politics.
• The Vatican II Church is currently repeating the mistake of Marxist-political liberation theology with Marxist-sexualist liberation theology.
The Word of God...2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
What is a “Catholicker”? If that is some sort of bigoted slur, it needs to be removed. If it is a weird typo, it needs to be acknowledged as such.
Too bad Protestants don’t have any saints. Maybe they would understand instead of mock like Mad Marty did.
And if you break away from the body of Christ to go your own way then you’re going to get toasty later.

ALL saved believers are saints. 100%. It has nothing to do with any church except the eternal church all believers are placed into when they entrust themselves to Christ alone.

Salvation comes from entrusting yourself to Christ alone and never from a church.
As such, Blessed Saint Martin Luther will be enjoying eternity with the Savior.
Read what Jesus says about cutting yourself off from the body of Christ. You’re wrong.

And so was Martin “flaming hot” Luther.
To his followers the church is just a country club. To Catholics we know it’s being part of the body of Christ.
Yeah, that’s just false.
There is no salvation anywhere other than Christ alone - no church, no false works, no priests, etc.
Just His accomplished work and faith.
What has been part of God’s plan is the further development of human technology, and the drastic changes that brings to the world.
Are you familiar with there being different wills of God? There are different ways of looking at this, too, but basically He has his desired will, what He wants for us, and then there’s His permissive will, what He tolerates for higher purposes, as the father of the prodigal son tolerated his son’s irresponsible actions in order to eventually bring about his return and change of heart.
Then third, there’s the Lord’s sovereign will, meaning that ultimately, He has final judgment on everything. People make decisions, but He decides what actually occurs. And His Son Jesus Christ is “...he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.” God also uses everything that happens to fulfill all of His plan’s for everyone and everything throughout all time, and their ultimate ends. He knows and decides everything in advance, having made all judgments and knowing all that will happen before even creating the world. That it plays out as it does is for us to experience it.
And then there’s Sodom and Gomorrah and the Great Flood.
James chapter 2.
Read what is said about being apart from the body of Christ and salvation.
Truth, not protestant tradition.
Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus
Taught since the beginning. Know history, cease to be protestant.
—> Taught since the beginning.
No. Taught in the 3rd century by Cyprian.
Never in Scripture.
Never by Christ.
Never by the Apostles.
Never during the lives of the Apostles.
Know Scripture. Cease to be Catholic.
You best read James 2 before you make things up that are not there…
Can I sit next to blessed St Martin Luther in Heaven? Also I want to visit with the men of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba. 😅😀😆🤪🤗😁
Well bro, it isn’t up to me to say - and Blessed Saint Martin Luther will have a place of honor.
😁😇👊🏽
He will indeed, have a place of honor. See you in the clouds at the pre trib rapture. 👍
I sure can’t wait to meet Him in the air - and to be ever with Him!
“Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”
The fastest growth period of evangelical Christianity in Latin America happens under the reigns of Paul VI and the overrated “Saint” John Paul II.
Christianity’s best hope may (ironically) be in China.
Bingo! And the proximate cause was the Second Vatican Council.
If you end up sitting next to Luther, you won't be in Heaven.
😀😆🤪😅😀😅☺️☺️😆😃😄🥹🤣😊🙃
