I’m glad that you made that statement about the book, “The Seven Biggest Lies…” for I am certain that it is a very good book. Sorry, but I was just having a little fun, and I guess someone else on another forum was too for he/she wrote about “Jesuit militants” saving him/her from the Freemasons. So, undoubtedly, some of us think alike.

It does make one think of Scripture and what it has to say about the end times: that knowledge (electronics, technology, computers, rockets, chemistry, etc.) would increase and that people would travel to and fro (jetting about). Hmmm. Maybe simpler times would be better times…bartering, small farms, and small businesses prospering again, walking here and there, actually having real conversations with people, more time for prayer, going to church…gives one thought!
Civilization ebbs and flows, but the Church remains constant because God is constant. No matter our level of technology, we would have time for God, and we would have excuses to ignore Him…It does make one think of Scripture and what it has to say about the end times: that knowledge (electronics, technology, computers, rockets, chemistry, etc.) would increase and that people would travel to and fro (jetting about).

I have a Protestant and Catholic Bible and just looked up Acts 8:37 in both. The Protestant version merely has the verse, asterisked, with a footnote stating that some versions leave the verse out. The Catholic Bible brackets like so: [37]* with a footnote thus, **8, 37: **"The oldest and best manuscripts of Acts omit this verse, which is a Western text reading: “And Philip said, ‘If you believe with all your heart, you may.’ And he said in reply, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’”

Yes, it’s no joke.
That’s actually an insult to Protestants because, as the theory goes, the devil doesn’t bother with those who are already lost.
That’s very true. He attacks those people who are a threat to his plan to defeat God, so, if he doesn’t bother Protestants, it means they pose no threat to his anti-God agenda…
What can I say? It’s a whopper I actually heard.
Is that your excuse?
and then there is…
Look at the lies this guy tells about us. And the people he posted that to believed him hook, line, and sinker. Yet this is some of the current propaganda that some a-Cs pass off as discussion and “fact” about our most holy faith.
Look, the OP question was
Do you disagree that it is anti-Catholic? Do you disagree that it is a whopper? Well, I heard it, think it is anti-Catholic, a whopper, and ridiculous, so it fits the topic. Whoever originated these whoppers intended that they be offensive, and the best way to deal with them IMHO is to laugh them off.
Guess he never read anything by Thomas Aquinas.
