what are some of the strength and weaknes of the cathlic church?

Question

regards to their religion pope etc.

Answer 1

Strengths: All God's truth. All God's Grace. The real and authentic presence of Christ. Authentic divine power, guidance and protection.

Weaknesses: Some of the men who govern the church, and many of the people who belong to it.

Answer 2

Do you mean "Roman" Catholic?

1) Apostolic Succession

2) Started by Jesus Himself

3) Valid Holy Orders

4) Unbroken line of Episcopal Succession

5) Valid Eucharist


Weaknesses:

1) Unmarried Priesthood (just wrong)

2) Teaches things not believed "everywhere, always and by all" - per the Canon of St. Vincent of Lerins

3) Teaches the infallibility of the Bishop of Rome....never taught anywhere until the 1800's

Answer 3

strengths: rigid dogma is the only bond holding them together. dogma breaks, they all fly into hell. The only reason why God hasn't destroyed them is they're going to self-destruct, sometime soon. wait, thats a weakness, isnt it?

weaknesses: lying, pedophillic preists administering communion that was only meant to be taken by the Apostels from Jesus; lack of willingness to accept anything other than thier own version of truth, which is often perverted by "officals" (ex, the Pope) who want nothing more than to gain for themselves and forget everybody who gets hurt in the process; lack of vision, in that they don't realize even the Pope is human, and therefore a sinner, and so is just as easily corrupted as you or me; thier attempt to bestow Sainthood on anyone, when it seems more logical for God to bestow any titles at all.....
did i forget something? oh yeah, the fact that thier orthodox don't use birth control is a huge weakness. how many kids do they think the world can hold? they should be thankful to the gays, instead of persecuting them (much as Chrisitans were once persecuted) after all, gays don't reproduce, that many less kids in the world to feed, right?

Answer 4

Strengths: too many to list, so I'll just say 'She is the One True Church founded by Christ Himself."

Weaknesses: poor catechesis and formation for both clergy and laity; far too many people trying to destroy the Church from within; being the True Church attracts the interest of Satan.

Answer 5

There is almost 1700 years of history that willl answer that question. Read it and make up your own mind about it.

Answer 6

Strengths: God hasn't destroyed them yet

Weaknesses: False gospel that doesn't save, unbiblical "priests", unbiblical "pope", worshiping Mary (who wasn't a virgin beyond Jesus), worshiping water, idols, and cloths, damnable heresy across the board. False teaching of purgatory (which doesn't exist. when you die, you go to heaven or hell, there is no second chance). Added false books to the Bible. Teaching forced celibacy. The list goes on and on.

Answer 7

Just one weakness. They don't teach the truth.

Answer 8

Strength: Monitary, and conversion power

Weakness: Inability to keep their priests celibate (if you know what I mean).
