You can gang up on free republic. The anti Catholic thread on a Sunday and in advent will be well attended. It’s smart to remember that getting into heaven is not like rushing a general admission event with a mob
One would be well advised to be very careful about this beyond merely bullying someone who may or may not be correct.
“In 2009, Pope Benedict affirmed that Catholicism comes without an escape clause: Once a person is baptized or received into the Church, there is no getting out.
Of course rejecting ecclesiastical communion or the Church’s doctrine has consequences, among them the penalty of excommunication. But excommunication is a punishment, not a shunning. Disobedient or dishonest Catholics might face damnation for their choices, but they will go their deathbeds as members of our Church. One can be a Catholic and be pro-choice, but having rejected the truth and the Church’s communion, he had better be prepared to face his judgment.”
Have you not noticed the number of Catholics on this thread *bashing* non-Catholics???
“You can gang up on free republic.”
This is an open thread. I never intrude on the Catholic Cause threads.

See ... That’s the problem. You put credence in what mortals say. How about giving God that same respect?
Benedict means NOTHING to true Christians. He’s JUST A GUY. The ONLY authority is God’s Word.
