The Catholic Church can be either 100% wrong or 100% right. There is no middle ground
If she is right then I think she has the right to feel the righteousness that she does
Well if what you are saying is that 'on Peter Christ also founded the J W’s and LDS, then you have a point.
Didn’t He? I thought He did. In fact I thought He said 'my CHURCH Mat 15:19, least my bible does not say 'my churches** plural
Are they? WHen did you last see a Pope carried in and out of mass?
THen perhaps you could bring this wealth to the attention of his Holiness, as it would undoubtedly be used to pay off some of the debt.
The Sistine Chapel roof is indeed absolutely priceless, but how can you sell it?**

They carried john Paul II into his funeral mass.

Hello happygal,
I apologize for if I have insulted you in any way, which was not my intentions. I would like to clarify my previous comments further about the different doctrines held in our beliefs in the Eucharist. In Cathlocism the means of the Real Presence of Christ is transubstantiation, which translates into the mystery of Christ being present in the bread and wine as indeed real flesh and blood not merely figuratively. I have been critized for the adoration of the Eucharist and have been called an idolater by non-Catholics. There is printed material by Evangelicals about how worshipping the bread and wine is idolatry.
My previous comments were directed to Traveler who stated that he believes in the Eucharist. His denomination is sometimes Angelican and other times Evangelical which hold different doctrines about the Eucharist. They both deny transubstantiation and their Real Presence in the Eucharist is merely “spiritual” not the real flesh and blood of Christ. Now I did not intend to say that non-Catholics do not have the spiritual presence of Christ in their gatherings, but they do not nave the Real Presence of Jesus in the flesh and bloos in the Eucharist as how we believe.
If you would like we can begin a new thread about the Real Presence to explain any misunderstandings to you.

**Hi There
No worry i don’t feel the insult at all, coz there is no reason for me to feel this way, but what i’m trying to tell you is to be alittle more careful falling into a trap of judging any although that wasn’t your intention.
We are all here to learn something from one another and not other way to prove who’s practise is correct and who’s not. Becoz our gracious Lord will be the one who judge who is incorrect and who is correct , so able to walk our path with extraordinary bravery to take on persecution is what we should learn from Jesus, and when the day come you shall be rewarded in heaven.
God Bless **

When non catholics bring up the sins of the catholic church to try to negate the objective truth of its teachings and relationship to the true church it shows forth how incomprehensible their discernment skills may be. To suggest or hope that some how the number or severity of some church member sins may well show forth directly in an inverse proportion the objective truth level of its teachings and relationship to the true church should not make good sense in any reasonable thinking persons mind.

I don’t understand. I consider myself Protestant, and I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again on the third day. How does that make me any different?

Different from what?? I don’t u/stand this Post… But the Catholic Church teaches all believers baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are our brethren… separated, but brethren (members of the Church) just the same…
Of course, many protestants aren’t as charitable or reciprocal… toward us Catholics…
but oh well…
That reminds me of soemthing: i am wondering why don’t Protestants fight the devil rather than fighting against those who are also fighting him? To me, this constitutes fighting FOR the devil, rather than against him…
Anyway, God bless, “Brother” (or Sister).

I’m a woman. I actually agree with you. I don’t agree with the Catholic Church on many things)but that’s no reason for Protestants to be hostile against them(I’m currently in love with a Catholic man as a matter of factt he’s not very strict- then again, he doesn’t take ANYTHING seriously
)Anyway, I was never taught that we’re saved by faith alone or that scripture is infallible. The church I went to for the first 16 years of my life gave lip service to that but spent a lot of time on misogyny, Catholic and Jew bashing, and telling me everything I did was sin. I finally left when they told me I was going to Hell because my eating disorder had caused me to render me infertile(don’t ask-to this day I cannot have any children
- I just hope the man I marry will be open to adoption.)Sorry to go off topic. Anyway, I believe what i posted above.

I am curious as to what all you disagree w/ the Catholic C. about?
I disagreed w/the Church’s focus on Mary once… (tho i was raised “Catholic”). Then i heard this story about a priest who was in a terrible accident, should have died. He had an after-life experience involving Mary… I think his name was… Father Shier?? I think that was his name… It was a very moving story… Pretty much all my doubts about her were extinguished after reading his story… but also, since then, i have heard the Church’s position on Mary (etc…) and well, learning helps so much. Have you been to an RCIA class? As you may know, they are free @ all Churches… and you can ask as many questions of the priest/teacher as you need to… I am going next session, even though i am a devout, long-practicing cradle Catholic… because i love learning about Jesus’ Church… (it helps me to be more intimate with my Savior
Thanks and God bless.

I may be wrong as I don’t know that many Catholics, so please don’t yell at me here, but the ones I know are very much against any woman who wants to do anything besides be a wife or mother. Personally, I plan to marry and hopefully adopt later on down the road( I lost my ability to have children because of an eating disorder, but my mother’s a doctor, and I just don’t understand how that could be wrong.(Of course, not to say the first church I went to was any better about it- the only difference there was they allowed women to be ordained as pastors- didn’t stop them from telling my mother God hated her since she was a doctor and that God hated me for wanting to go into a career in the sciences.)I don’t feel u went off topic…

Its odd u expect 2b yelled at!!! I definitely don’t believe in yelling @ people…
Anyway, i am really sorry for all the weird experiences u have had at the hands of so-called Chrisitans. I can’t believe someone would say that God hated your mother or anyone…
, especially 4 being a doctor?? You can rest assured the Catholic Church (most people therein, i should say) is/are not going 2 tell u you are wrong to be a doctor or 2 go into the field of science… Pope John P II wrote some beautfiful things about women… (don’t have the titles right at the top of my head).I don’t know how old u are, but i think that if you changed your diet and gained a little fat, u could get pregnant… I dont’ want to give you false hope, though… I don’t know the whole picture… But God Does know the whole story… and he can do miracles. I knew this very young woman who got raped years ago and as a result, got VD and Pelvic Inflamatory Disease (because she didn’t get it treated right away… denial about the rape
). The Dr. told her she would never have children. She was veyr depressed… but since the Dr. told her that, she has had 6 children!! Doctors are wrong a lot…I always thought that dieting (strict dieting) only caused TEMPORARY infertiity?? I know certain foods are good for fertility (cabbage, pomegranates, dates, brocoli, yams, beer, potatoes, apples and many herbs like Maca… ). A high protein /(somewhat)-low carb diet is very good for hormones…
Anyway, another thing that could help is I will pray for you…
God bless…

I’m not sure what you are asking. There are many Anglican churches that do not ordain women–all the so-called “Continuing” and other conservative Anglican churches in the U.S., for instance, and a number of non-Western churches in the worldwide Anglican Communion as well. Even within the provinces that ordain women (such as the Episcopal Church), there are diocese that do not (three in the case of TEC).

I was in the Nazarene church- the particular one I attended was in no way typical though- we had some wackos- one CHILDREN’S pastor preached a whole sermon on how the Spice Girls were Satanists!( This was back in the late '90s when they were still very popular.Not the wisest musical choicesof course, but that’s going way, way too far- and especially in front of some children that were 5 years old- that’s-that’s just too young to be told something like that! I mean, let them enjoy being kids while they can!
Anyway, I’m glad to hear about that girl,distracted. God can work miracles. I’m going to PM you.

The Catholic Church is the one, true religion because it emanated directly from Jesus, who charged St. Peter with the task of building it. He died doing so in ***ROME. ***Sorry. Catholicism is the ONLY true Christian religion. All others are heretical stepchildren.

Non-Catholics say they don’t believe in Purgatory. Well, they should, because that’s where they’re going, for not belonging to God’s true church. Sorry. Don’t blow up my car, please.

What do they think nuns, teachers, nurses, and secretaries are?
The Catholic Church in its official teachings supports women’s choices of career and lifestyle, as long as they don’t end up hurting anybody else. Single women are of course expected to remain celibate, and married women need to be open to the children that God will send her, which means no birth control and no abortion.
But Catholic women have the same freedoms as Catholic men - to love and obey God, and to use their talents for His glory, as appropriate to their state in life.
