Hi Patrick, yes that was exactly where the comment came from, a woman on another board claimed this is what Catholics believe and when questioned went on to list all her Official Catholic Credentials giving her the right to make the claim, she knew her stuff, she used to be Catholic after all … finally after a few pages of back and forth (somewhat heated) it came out that she had merely attended a wedding in a Catholic Church and saw the Crucifix … no, she had never been Catholic. Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that most who claim to ex-Catholic, and therefore know their stuff, never were!!

One thing just came to my mind: whatever in the world happened to “Thou shalt not bear false witness” and “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren”? 🤷

Yep, I have also had dealings with an “ex-Catholic” who dropped out after six weeks of RCIA, because of her nineteen previous marriages - she didn’t want to deal with all of that paperwork (who would!?) - this is the same one who can’t figure out why her children have identity issues … 🤷 :rolleyes:

Once someone is Catholic they are Catholic ad aeternum. That doesn’t mean they are a faithful to, or knowledgeable of the Catholic faith.

This one is really bizarre as it claims to be associated with an actual fringe freemasonrygroup,and written by antichrist no less! It is supposedly plans to destroy the Catholic church and usher in some new age utopia. hmmm sounds rather fishy to me.

19 previous marriages!!! Oh my gosh that woman must have spent an eternity in courthouses. Did she have an assembly line going on with prospective spouses? next…

The courthouse or the morgue. :whistle:

“He came down with the vapors.”

“He died in a bizarre gardening accident.”

“He fell off the cruise ship.”

etc.

Not really just found this site wandering around on the net one night. Found the christmas stuff and figured it was timely:D

It just lays there year round waiting for it’s next victim(s)
 
Some of these sites strike fear into a heart of a nonimal catholic looking for God.And without thinking they run blindly into the fog.

Exactly, … something that’s become undeniable over the years on these boards is how some/many will purposely tell and spread the same untruth over and over no matter how often they are told, “no, we don’t” or “that’s not Catholic teaching” There’s no other word for for me, it’s called deliberate lying … and the Holy Spirit in no fashion would be apart of a liar such as that.

You can have Protestant Christians who are mistaken or who have been given false information where they are at no fault, and when (as has happened with my Baptist friend) they have been told the truth, will cease to speak that lie again and will develop a healthy suspicion towards their past sources.

Then you have those who have been influenced to leave the Church over a lie or series of lies … ?? where’s the Holy Spirit in that, a lie. If you have left the Church over a lie … you really need to ask yourself where the Holy Spirit would endorse your actions???

A man addressing my husband’s nicotine habit at a party: “I did’nt know you smoked.”

My husband: “I always have one or two in the morning with a cup of coffee and one or two after meals.”

“But, you’re Catholic!”

One thing that amazed us when we lived in Utah was that Mormons, who will not drink coffee, smoke cigarettes often.

I usually start by approaching with empathy, only because you never know whether someone was really hurt or badly catechized. But every so often I’ll ask for specifics and they won’t be able to provide some:

Them: “I was raised in a parish in Chicago and was Catholic until I was 14 and this is what they taught.”
Me: “Oh, really, I’m from Chicago too, went to Infant Jesus of Prague. Maybe we played basketball against each other - what parish was it?”
Them: “I don’t remember.”
Me: “It was fourteen years of your life and you don’t remember?”

etc.

Precisely the reason for good apologetics - to prevent otherwise sensible Catholics from being misled by fear, ignorance and emotional appeals. Jimmy Akin likes to say that a little knowledge is dangerous - I suppose it’s that a lot of knowledge is much safer while only having a little bit of knowledge leads you God alone knows where.

I don’t know where to begin with “www.jesus-is-lord.com”. I think the author could do with some counseling. Among the prolific claims:
  • Microwaves cause physiological changes to human blood
  • Masturbation begins on the playground. I’m completely serious:
    jesus-is-lord.com/decept21.htm
  • Boys should know how to hunt by the time they are 10 and girls should know to cook and sew by the time they are 6.
  • Evolution is wrong because there is less than 54 feet of moon dust on the moon.
  • True Christians should live off the land.
  • Babies can read at 2, and a three-year-old can understand the KJV.
  • The Catholic Church is the beast because other false churches are also hierarchical (“Sorry, Paul, you can’t lead a congregation. That would be a hierarchy. Same with you, James, Timothy, Barnabas.”)
  • “many who call themselves Christians are actually unwitting agents of the spirit of antichrist” - if we’re unwitting, how is this sin? How are we guilty when we can’t know?
  • True followers have mom at home and dad working - traditional gender roles only need apply. So true Christian women don’t need to go to college and true Christian men should feel ashamed if they’re out of work in this economy.
  • Seventh-Day Adventists are a cult but true worship is still on Saturday.
There are the desultory yet mandatory links to works like Maria Monk, Charles Chiniquay and our lovely recent friend Alberto Rivera. (Note the sarcasm - all of these have been thoroughly discredited).

Indeed, there’s very little about Catholic theology other than the usual straw man arguments (“pray to Mary INSTEAD of Jesus”,“Jesus becomes a cracker”,“Only the KJV is the real translation, anything else is warped heresy”). The bulk of anti-Catholic claims (and anti-Muslim, anti-well anything else) are emotionally-driven and visceral. Lots of talk of the inquisition, lots of so-called “testimony” about abuse, magick rituals, child sacrifice, graveyards full of aborted children from when priests rape nuns, etc. In other words, blood libel.

Prolific, and probably unreachable. Following a 10-minute browsing of the site, I think this author has removed him- or herself from most of society (homeschooling, no TV, living on their own remotely) and is believing as he or she likes. Which is fine - I’d rather not have this one as a neighbor.

I’ve asked that of people like that many times before. I get the same answer every single time - “The truth is always loving!” :confused:

For some odd reason, when I read this part I was reminded of that little sketch from Mr. Show. 😃
