Second Coming Errors of Protestantism.

[shawn34_a]

Yes. (So are the Franciscans, and the Carmelites, and the Benedictines.)

They were suppressed in Portugal because of their opposition to slavery in South America - they were preventing Portugese settlers in Brazil from enslaving the native peoples, which was putting a damper on productivity (and profits) in the area. This was hitting the King of Portugal in the pocket, because he was wanting to collect taxes on the profits from slave labour in South America. So, he appealed to Pope Clement to suppress the Order of St. Ignatius (aka the Jesuits) and leave his people free to take slaves. Pope Clement caved into this pressure because of political considerations - immediately (although he had been in robust health up to that point) he became extremely ill, and died. Poison was suspected, but no evidence of it was ever found.

His successor immediately reinstated the Jesuits, and decreed that it is a mortal sin for Catholics to keep slaves.

If their intentions were so admirable, how come they were shut down in Italy? So why didn’t they chose martydom like the apostles and do what was right? Only in the Russia did they continue the order. It was immediately after Napolean (professed Catholic) fell that they reinstate the order.

It was not the successor to clement for that was pius VI. It was Pius VII that reinstated the Jesuits.

Hmmmmm…Sounds like they were being good Catholics, & obeying the pope…even when they knew that he was wrong. It’s called respect for those in authority over you.

And, Shawn, you have gotta quit reading Jack Chick & William Schnobelen…If you keep it up much longer, your hair & your teeth will all fall out…http://bestsmileys.com/lol/23.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/lol/23.gif
(Chick’s nose is all ready so long that it trips him up several times a day…)

What’samatter Shawn…you can’t understand plain old English answers to unfounded anti-Catholic conspiracy propaganda?

None of that has anything to do with the topic of this thread.

I’m reporting it and asking for it to be closed. Thanks so much for hijacking my thread with your off topic wacko conspiracy theory posts.

When do you plan to drop that sheep’s clothing and set your profile to state your real religion?

Like I said before… If you’re catholic then I’m the next “Black Pope”.
