In this video, Mike Gendron, an ex-Catholic, visits Revolve to give a seminar that exposes the twisted, unbiblical, and outright satanic teachings of the Catholic Church that most people are completely unaware of. If you’d like to learn more about Mike, please visit his ministry’s website: https://www.proclaimingthegospel.org

That’s an odd comment coming from one defending a religion that has rejected the One True Stone. And has chosen to replace that Cornerstone with a mere man sitting on a throne at the vatican.
But I digress
True Adherents to the Word are called to discern false doctrines and to rightly divide the Word of Truth. A far cry from “casting stones”
Catholicism has major control issues.
They try to and want to control and own everyone and everything and that Benedict quote is just one example of many of it.
Even here we have seen several Catholics claim that *Once a Catholic, always a Catholic* and that Catholics baptism (allegedly) leaves an indelible mark on the soul.
I guess if one interacts via a necromancer, you may be correct. It takes a real stretch to turn prayer requests into something from Dungeons and Dragons.
Nope, Scripture is quite clear about not contacting those who have died physical deaths.
It does not forbid asking those physically alive here on earth for prayer.
Never said it. Thats a lie.
Sure. Why not?
Do you all have such a weak and fragile Jesus that He couldn't handle a normal, fallible mother?
Most children are molested in the home or school.
That’s nuts.
Having living Christians engage in intercessory prayer for us is important.
“If the saints can pray” they can certainly pray for me, and there is nothing wrong with asking them to do so.”
Re “the saints”, assume you’re referring to RCs who are dead and have been abracadabra-ed in to sainthood.
“If the saints can pray”. They can’t; they’re dead. They can’t HEAR you.
“there is nothing wrong with asking them to do so.”
There actually IS something wrong with asking them anything. It’s necromancy, and it’s forbidden by God in Scripture.
So...
Asking living neighbors to pray for you: Good.
Asking dead people to pray for you: Very bad.
(Technically, if your neighbors are Christians, they actually are saints.)
I don’t need to say anything.
Children are more likely to be molested in public school.
Are you a public-school teacher?
I guess not if you don’t mind being a hypocrite.
You must be the only non-hypocrite in world history
Romans 8:26-2726 [...] We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Holy Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he [God] who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
People who think they’re ex Catholics and people who were never baptized Catholic are completely different
I see what you did. ;>))
“Why do you need to demean the Mother of God?”
She not the Mother of GOD.
God existed before she did; she couldn’t possibly be His mother.
Maybe you think she’s God’s wife, since she birthed Jesus, and Jesus is God’s Son.
Why not take a bold leap and just embrace Scripture? Everything makes sense.
Not per the Catholic Encyclopedia...."No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture."
https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07674d.htm
For the dogma to be true it would contradict the numerous places in Scripture that do note all have sinned.
There are no carve outs for Mary in this regard. Not. One.

I know of whom you speak and the personal hobby-horse that he rides. It doesn’t justify the crude, worn-out, and discredited anti-Catholicism that is represented by the screed that started this thread. There is no place among Christians for this.

Oh contraire, we are called to rightly divide the Word of Truth.
2 Timothy 2:14-16
King James Version
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2 Timothy 4:2-3
King James Version
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Signed sincerely,
“The screed”

According to your twisted logic, asking my neighbors or fellow church members to pray for me would be apostasy. If the saints can pray, they can certainly pray for me, and there is nothing wrong with asking them to do so.

Just out of curiosity, how many deceased neighbors have you had discussions with, once they’ve assumed room temperature?
Eh, never mind, I don’t think I want to know.
Amen!
