Don't get me wrong Catholics, i don't hate you, i descend from you. Both my grandfathers were catholics, as is my mother. I'm not but I just want to hear what you all have to say that's all. I won't draw any conclusions, it's just a question.

Catholic is a church - a man-made organization just as Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, etc. etc. Because man is sinful, peole involved in churches have sinned.
You do not become a Christian by joining or cursing a certain church.
A Christian is one who has accepted God's offer of love through the sacrifice of His Son.
"To as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of God, even those who believed in His nam." John 1:12

If you claim to be a Christian - also remember, "He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love." (I Jn 4:8),
and:
"By this will they know that you are my disciples, because you love one another."
How are you showing love to Catholics?

I'm a Roman Catholic and I've never done anything in Satan's name. I am a rather decent person. I haven't stolen anything. I haven't committed adultery. I haven't killed anyone. I give to the poor, I volunteer in my city and at my church. I help my parents and grandmother with things they need. I go to Mass on Sundays and go home and spend time with my son. What evil is that?!?!?!

I've saved the life of one teenager several years ago.
I picked up hitch-hiker once and drove him 20 miles to a truck stop to get another ride and bought him dinner.
I saw a man at an intersection with a sign asking for a ride or food or money and I went to Subway and got him a footlong and chips, 2 cookies and a large pop and went back and gave it to him. He thanked me and I talked with him for about 10 minutes. He was trying to get home 2 states away.
I've given my winter coat to a homeless lady in New York 12 yrs ago and then went to a Thrift store and bought myself another one for $7.

What evil is that?!?!?!?! Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today? I know centuries ago 2 popes weren't very nice guys but they died and new popes took their place. The Holy Spirit is always watching over the Church. People are just people. We are not perfect and definitely not divine. We all make mistakes, errors, sins. And we all do good things. Doesn't make a difference about what relgion we are. Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Mormons, Catholics, etc. To be human is to err. Some give into Satan's temptations and some don't. But you have no right to generalize the entire group of Catholics by what a few have done.

In my studies I've found that Protestants are quite as vicious as Roman Catholics, if not more. They certainly are when comes to any other religion or sect. The protestants were, and, in some ways are still are the leading group in in violent actions to retain segregation of races and ethnic groups. Also they are much quicker to call on Satan than Roman Catholics to keep those not White Non Europeans out of their churches.

Even as they were escaping religious persecution from protestant churches in England and Europe, the "Pilgrims" carried the devil in there hearts. Within decades they were killing innocents as Witches, while shunning and pushing out into the wilderness those not of their protestant sect. This was especially true of any persons who were Roman Catholic or Anglicans.

If you want the Truth.....Ask a Pagan

Many Catholics are Christians. Just the way there are people in the other denominations that aren't true Christians, this is the same with Catholics.
For instance, was it not the church (the Catholic church) that preserved the Bible through the Dark Ages?
(I'm Presbyterian)

>>Christians, are Catholics and the pope on the Devil's side or God's?<<

I used to think they were on the Devil's side, until I seriously studied Catholicism. I then realized they were on God's side, and I converted.

I think they are inadvertently worshiping idols (Mary and the pope). I think they think they are on God's side. They have been indoctrinated into the biggest cult in history. The pope is the devils advocate. He knows it just the people don't.
Although I believe that they follow God and the teachings of Christ as the church has told them to believe. Therefor if they have truly been saved then they are sinners. Just like the rest of us Christians. I do not believe in their beliefs but the Bible says all you have to do is believe in Christ as their personal savior. If they have done that- then the rest is up in the air.
God decides that stuff. Those are just my beliefs. I could go on and on about how my views differ from their religion but after all religion is bunk so what's the point.

Asking if we are on the Devil's side is a pretty strong statement. Why didn't you just ask what we believe?

God bless.

christians = catholics
atheists = all the people in religion
They're ALL the same, Spritual LOSERS...

hell was created by christians - so shall they go there, to their hell;

Here's the Solution, even for christians and catholics:

Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.

Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!

WOWSER!
You are really going for the throat.

There are those who would go for this.
At one time I would have.
If God wants the Catholic Church to exist, who am I to try to destroy it.
History tells of what they did and didn't do.
If someone wants to know what they did or didn't, they can go on the web and find out all the information. It is there.
