A top spins slower right now. In regard to Candice's accusation. The Catholic rituals have been so bastardized over the centuries that a Christian should have the right to judge what the church has done for the sake of Christians everywhere. The Inquisition often comes to mind when I think of that question. So don't be so self righteous and say that people are judging you when the proof is historically documented. Tell me where it says in the Bible that the Vatican is supreme rule? All Jesus talks about is his church not the Vatican. Where does it say that Peter was the first Pope? No where. SO like I said get off your high horse and look who is doing the judging.

Since the Catholic Church was founded at Pentecost, therefore St. Paul is a Catholic.

No, St. Paul is more bothered why Christian who were catholics during those times believed in Martin Luther who seemed to be actually a demented racist.

Please read this.......

MARTIN LUTHER AND THE JEWS

Luther's views on the Jews have been described as racial or religious anti-Semitism, or as anti-Judaism. Earlier in his career, Luther argued that the Jews had been prevented from believing in Jesus by the actions of Christians, and the proclamation of what he believed to be an impure Gospel. He suggested that they would respond favorably to the evangelical message if it were presented to them gently. When they did not, he furiously attacked them. The most notorious of Luther's Jewish polemics is found in his pamphlet "Von den Juden und ihren Lügen" (On the Jews and their Lies), published in 1543. In it he wrote that Jewish synagogues should be set on fire, their prayerbooks destroyed, their rabbis forbidden to preach, their homes "smashed and destroyed", property seized, money confiscated, and that these "poisonous envenomed worms" be drafted into forced labor or expelled "for all time". These remarks by Luther were used by the Nazi party in Germany as part of their effort to justify the "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem", their systematic effort to exterminate the Jewish population in lands under their control.

In the opinion of Dr. Robert Michael, Luther also appeared to sanction their murder: "Jerusalem was destroyed over 1400 years ago, and at that time we Christians were harassed and persecuted by the Jews throughout the world . . . So we are even at fault for not avenging all this innocent blood of our Lord and of the Christians which they shed for 300 years after the destruction of Jerusalem . . . We are at fault in not slaying them."

While some scholars have attributed the Nazi "Final Solution" directly to Martin Luther, others have refuted this theory, pointedly taking issue with the thesis advanced by Shirer and others. British historian Paul Johnson called On the Jews and their Lies the "FIRST WORK OF MODERN ANTI=SEMITISM, AND A GIANT STEP FORWARD ON THE ROAD TO THE HOLOCAUST." Four centuries after it was written, the Nazis cited Luther's treatise to justify the Final Solution.

Since the 1980s Lutheran church bodies and organizations have formally denounced these writings, though they do not characterize Luther as an anti-Semite.

Maybe, just maybe, many of the Lutheran based Christians still doesn't know this.

Yes. So would Mary, and Jesus, and Peter. Oh I forgot Jesus is NOT in his grave sorry about that!
Personally I believe I'm a great Catholic but my heart is to follow Jesus and what he said in his book. I don't buy the Pope thing because the pope is a mere man and unlike the Bible there is no proof that he is an infallible spokesman for God.

Christianity is about accepting and following Jesus and his word.

I don't think so.

Paul was a very ambitous and often unscrupulous person. I'm sure he would be very proud of how far the Church has come since his time.

yes, he'd be mad to see how the Church messed it all up only to make tons of cash (see how much the Vatican has, and then ask "why do WE have to share while they keep it all"??)
