At least she’s going for one of the true classics; charges of cannibalism and incest have been leveled at Christians since Roman times. Because, you know, we eat Jesus’s flesh and drink His blood every week.Every day!

And incest, because we’re all brothers and sisters, and yet we still marry each other.

Here in Africa there are anti-Catholics but in all my years I have never encountered anyone who went beyond the “whore of Babylon” story.

That Catholics can not have a relationship with God. Only the Pope can hear from Him.

Which ironically proves the special relationship between Christ and His Vicar. 😃

But come on! Don’t you know that the Pope has a special phone installed in the Vatican where God calls at least seven times a day on weekdays and three on Sundays? :cool: :rolleyes:

Well we already know women are smarter than men…

…but does that mean women become smarter still on ordination?

They can’t figure out the church is wrong without being ordained?

Well, I did hear just yesterday that nursing babies raises the mother’s intelligence and decreases the mother’s chances of having dementia in old age (beta amyloid and all that stuff)…I guess ordination grants the same effect on women? 🤷 :rolleyes:

I just heard a new one -

We don’t allow women to become priests because a woman would be able to see through all of our false doctrines. This from a female SDA.

You’re Farsight from R&S?
I saw said post by said SDA woman.
 
I was at the library this week & picked up a few books from the “free book shelf”.
After I got home, I was having a cup of tea with the cat in my lap, and opened one at random. It was supposed to be about health. The first thing I read was that people in the Middle Ages stopped taking baths because the Catholic Church told them that the way to live a holy life was to stop bathing.🤷
Apparently the lack of running water , central heat, and numerous changes of clothes had nothing to do with it.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
I am still trying to figure out why it was even remotely related to modern health concerns…(Can you spell :rolleyes:“total obsession”??)

I’m certainly glad it was a **free **book. If I had even paid 25 cents for it, I would be :mad:demanding my money back.
 
I was once told that Catholics are cannibals because of the Eucharist.
 
The Pope created Islam in order to have an ally against Protestantism.

Yeah, I heard that.
 
That because the monstrance has rays eminating from it, and because communion wafers are round, that we are pagan sun worshipers.

When I was first converting to the Catholic Church a lot of my friends and co-workers were trying to talk me out of it. One day one of my co-workers, who is a Charismatic Protestant, told me that the Holy Spirit had been telling him on his car ride into work to warn me about the Catholic Church.

Thinking that I would hear one of the usual arguments, I asked him what his main concern was. He went on to tell me that;

"I could never become a Catholic or even enter the doors of a Catholic Church because the popes worship the Egyptian Sun god “Ra”.

I was blown away! I told him that was ridiculous and asked him where he had heard this information? He went on to explain that he had read it in a booklet that his brother had given him. He said this “booklet” proved that the popes really worshiped the Egyptian Sun god and not the God of the Bible because it showed a picture of the hat’s that were worn by “Ra’s” priest during their religious ceremonies and the Catholic popes wore this same hat.

I tried my best to convince him that the pope doesn’t worship the Egyptian Sun god, but everything I said fell on deaf ears. I’ve heard a lot of crazy stuff being taught against the Church, but this one is by far the strangest.

I would like to hear some of your stories, so think of the most bizarre charge you’ve ever heard made against the Church and share it with the rest of us. Books, conversations, Internet, radio, anything is fair game.🙂

Did you tell him that Islam came into existence at least a half-millenium or more before Martin Luther was even born? (Or does the man believe that the Pope really is a Prophet?)

That sounds like the beginning of a joke. Now, if I could come up with the punchline.

Re Foursquare - my parents attended a Foursquare church for many years. My poor mother cried when I told her I was becoming a Catholic. She thought I was doomed to hell. As the years passed, she became more comfortable with it. It helped that I married a man who is very articulate about the faith. They had many conversations & she came to believe many Catholic things.

My dad was raised anti-Catholic, so it was especially hard for him. When Walt & I married he commented on the priest “doing the dishes!” A few years before he died, I noticed he had pinned a small crucifix to his desk - I have it now. When we went through his things we found a couple of Catholic medals. So who knows? He may have been closer to being Catholic than I thought! 🙂

This nut job has a blog entry praising Jack Chick’s comic book about the Alberto Rivera story. Rivera claims to be a former Jesuit priest who was trained to infiltrate and bring down protestant churches.

Dee da Dee!!!

Why would Protestants fear the Jesuits? Protestants ought to fear those within their own ranks who are indifferent syncretist “church shoppers” seeking Contemporvant Growtivation, the best coffee and donuts, or “fellowship” instead of the truth.

Two men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. "What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders? " the one asked.

The second replied, “Well, they were both founded by Spaniards – St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy – the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Protestants.”

“What is different about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?”

“Met any Albigensians lately?”

The Jesuits were a counter-reformation to the Protestants, historically.

But you are quite right. All Christians ought to worry about the folks coming to the Church for reasons other than to love God and worship Him (unless they’re young children who don’t quite understand it yet, but that’s a different story).
 
Hi, TarkanAttila,

I laughed and laughed wihen I read, “Met any Albigensians lately?” 😉 I was taught theology by the Dominicans - and I have a hunch one of those guys came up with that! 😉

God bless St. Domiinic!

God bless
