While the above is mainly true we should not lose heart and not even try anyway.I doubt if writing in protest to the TV station or their advertisers will make anyu difference. Bashing and attacking Catholics and The Church seem to be the in thing right now!
But by the same token, if Joy felt the need to wish she could die after going to confession so that she could go “straight up” there is a definite problem there. I just found that comment extremely sad and I felt really bad for her. There is a problem (most likely with the child’s interpretation) if they have a death wish every time they come out if the confessional. I, for one, will be praying for her.Hi, I just felt I should point out that today on the View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy made some pretty offensive comments about the Catholic Church which I feel were way over the line. I was surprised and disappointed in Elisabeth. She talked about being raised Catholic but left after realizing the “hypocrasy” They were discussing confession which is something so sacred and they were talking about how ridiculous it seemed to confess to a priest. They made some really offensive remarks which I feel they need to apologize for. I plan on letting ABC know how I felt about this.
They just don’t understand it. If they knew why we confess to a priest, they might understand a little better and stop talking against it. There is a scripture in the Bible that talks about confessing your sins to one another as well as God, that it’s a good thing to do.I doubt if writing in protest to the TV station or their advertisers will make anyu difference.

I agree. It seems that they are attacking all of christianity, but because they use the word “Catholic” a lot of non catholic christians seem to think its ok. that they aren’t attacking “their” religion. If they replaced the word Catholic with christian. then there would be a much louder up roar about that sad show.the View-can’t stand that show-never watch it.
This evangelical Protestant has nothing but respect for the
Roman Catholic Church-From Reading the CCC, C.S. Lewis, Chuck Colson’s the body and Pope John Paull II and Mother Teresa.
I’d like to know why is OK for them to say those things about the Catholic church?
Can you imagine a simular conversation about the hypocrisy of any other religeon on TV?
I wish evangelicals would understand that when someone attacks the Catholic Church-they are attacking all of Christianity.
It’s true, Jesus said nothing about having to be Catholic to have salvation, and our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ, those who’ve accepted Jesus, are truly saved.About Elizabeth on the View. She thinks she knows everything and really doesn’t. But on the comment made about the Catholic Church being the one true church, I do not agree on that. The Christians (Jesus and his desciples) were the one true church. As long as you believe that Jesus died on the cross for our salvation and ask him to come into your heart, that is the one true religion no matter where you attend church. Jesus said nothing about having to be a Catholic. The Catholic church is not perfect. There would not be all those priests abusing young children and the vatican involved with the mafia if it were.
Please provide more information about the Church being involved with the Mafia, and include credible references. Also please include any writings by the Vatican or an approved representative that states that they believe the people in the Catholic Church are perfect. You can e-mail me direct or start another thread because this thread is not really about that topic. If you cannot do the above you are really no different then Elizabeth because you are speaking as though something is fact when you have no way of supporting your theory. Also I would like to point out that it is not only Priests that abuse children there are many Protestant Pastors who abuse children too. The percentages are no higher in the Catholic Church than any other church. The first thing Christian’s need to do is stop bashing other Christians! You may believe that all you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your heart to be saved, but I respectfully disagree. I don’t think any less of you because of that, I just disagree.About Elizabeth on the View. She thinks she knows everything and really doesn’t.

The difference between the religions is where the scripture says that, “Unless you eat My body and drink My blood, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven”. I believe that is what the poster is referring to, the Real Presence of Christ (His Body) in the Eucharist.I guess that you are probably right about the Vatican and the mafia. Maybe I got that from watching the Godfather, which might or might not be true. But as far as salvation from God, I was right except I forgot to add that you need to ask His forgiveness for all your sins and then ask Christ to take over your life and He will wash your sins away and the Holy Spirit will take over your soul. But in any religion this is true. I am just saying thay the Catholic faith is not the one true religion.
