The King of Anti-Catholic Whoppers

[Jimmytwoguns]

Since the word “sinister” hails from the latin for “left handed”, I’m sure those who make use of such name-calling, had they an iota of a clue such was the case, would be happy to include it in their list of suitably derogatory names for Catholics

God bless

“Left Footers” It’s supposed that RC’s are all left footed. You’re often asked the question “what foot do you kick with?”

JTG’S

Oh, wow! :doh2: Now I know why I am a convert to Catholicism! It didn’t have anything to do with the fullness of the faith - I’m left-footed! (Right-handed, but left-footed. It’s a mystery…) I just did what I was always meant to do! I’m sure no Baptist is left-footed.

Hmmm – I write right-handed but do almost everything else left-handed. May be something to this!!

HMMM-could be you are the ant-Christ. Check your scalp in the mirror real close and see if you can see 666 engraved on your skull…

I had not thought of that! Let me see…

Nope, only a few grey hairs mixed in with the red!

Should I get an X-ray, you think?

 

[francesca_gen]

Of course, THAT might scare off my very-evangelical co-workers faster than the crucifix!

… But it probably wouldn’t help them feel any better about the Church!

On a happier note, I have a friend who just visited her family, who were formerly deeply fundamentalist and are still somewhat so. But one sibling, who is ill, asked for a rosary, and the family asked her to say grace, so – you never know!

I hate it when I quote myself.

 

[hosemonkey]

Will do?

Incidentally the favourite names we’re called are:

“Fenians” It’s supposed if you’re RC you must be connected with Ireland and a paramiltary faction, after the “fenian brotherhood” from yonks ago.

“Tims” - again Irish background

“Wine grapes” Rhyming slang for Papes

“Bead Rattlers”

“Left Footers” It’s supposed that RC’s are all left footed. You’re often asked the question “what foot do you kick with?”

JTG’S

Know what you mean, JTGs’ Been there done that. I too am politically incorrect and get into frequent trouble for speaking my mind. I like your style,kid and I revel in the name “papist.” I have a list of people who’s good opinion of me is important. That list gets shorter every year. You keep swingin’ and remember the old curmudgeon’s motto, “Illigitimus Non Carborundum.”
Hosemonkey…Welshman and Papist

Thats ok…it was the message that counted…and in what you “quoted” there was quite the significant message!!!

DITTO!!

I am happy to see that I am not alone here… I considered “political correctness” to be a fatal flaw…

 

[Sailor_Kenshin]

Hmmm… I think I like the term ‘mackerel-snapper.’

 

[jcrichton]

Technically He may have been correct. Unless Hitler “Formally” quit the Church, he would have been still considered Catholic. Of course that means nothing in the whole picture.

It would have been interesting to continue that conversation. It actually might have been a nice “in” to undermining his conceptions of Catholics and what we believe.

Hi, James!

…so you’re saying that if I am a Christian who supports abortion, homosexuality, contraception, divorce, pluralism (theology and sex), suicide, euthanasia and the occult (among other things) I’m a Christian no matter what?

Would that not mean that the Jehovah Witnesses are Christians?

Maran atha!

There are such things as “bad Christians” who go to Hell, you know!

Once you are baptized, you are Christian forever. Not “saved” forever, but Christian forever - even when you are in Hell.

 

[jcrichton]

Personally…in my 57 years… I have been called:

1. Fish-eater
2. Mackerel-snapper
3. Papist
4. Devil worshiper
   5…and a few un-mentionables.

The first three…no problem. I take them as “compliments”. The others…well, lets not go there.

The problem with many non-Catholics is that they are educated, nay, nay…they are “indoctrinated and bombarded with propaganda” with virtually no basis in fact…about Catholics and the Church. I grew up in the South…the Old South…and I got asked if I had a tail, or a 3rd eye under a flap of skin…by kids who’s “Preacher” told them Catholics have tails and 3rd eyes.

The ignorance and deception that is foisted on unknowing and gullible people, especially young and impressionable children is unbelievable to a point that borders on insanity. Frankly I have seen “tracts” and “so-called religious newspapers” that are so full of error and falsehoods that it was apparent that the writers were either under the influence of “acid”, or completely demented. They contained “almost” as much fact as the articles on this site:
theonion.com/content/archives Thats the “Onion”… a fake news site…some of the stories are funny…but you can bet there are people out there that think the stories are “true”. Millions of people actually “buy” the Enquirer…so it just goes to show…Forrest Gump was RIGHT!!

Sad, isn’t it?

Hi, RobHom!

…what is truly sad is that they believe that they are following Scriptures when they attack Christ’s only founded Church!

Maran atha!

Really?.. I have always thought that if a Christian denied Jesus He would deny the Christian (the person would forfit his/her allegiance to Christ)…

He would deny his place in Heaven - not his identity as a Christian. That remains forever. There are Christians in Hell.

Won’t all the Catholic haters be surprised when Jesus returns as King and re-establishes the rightful place of His Church? I wonder if they will be able to accept the truth then?

I wonder if WE as Catholics will be able to accept the truth then! We haven’t exactly been good stewards of Christ’s Church.

 

[spanky]

Didn’t somebody make a t-shirt that said “Papist - and proud of it!” LOL

I’ve been eyeing this shirt since BXVI.

Not the same quote you refer to, but anyone wearing this would be proud of it.

Did someone say "fish (mackerel) slapping (snapper?) dance?!!

Watch all 22 secs of this very important clip! Suprise twist at the end bringing this thread full circle to the OP!

Speak for yourself.
