If you are not a catholic then you are a atheist including other christians?

Question

why? well simple if you don't believe in the true faith then u simpily have no faith. The reason is simple we catholics are the true christians, we honor, respect, and live by the traditions, bible codes, and the true teachings. Our catholics pruest are the ONLY ones who can exorcist or, other religions including other christians CAN'T perform exocist. And the reason is simple the practice of catholics is true and others are not. So why is other christians consider as nochristians? It is simple because they are just hypocrites, to them just believeing in existance of god is good enough. No thats not how it is, they rarely or never go to church, and even if so they never donate, never pray, and their children doesn't even know what bible is.

okay compare the teachings of your priest with a catholic priest, then compare the behavior of ur children with catholic children, and compare the traditions of catholic and yours. And see the difference.

Answer 1

The Catholic Church does not believe or teach that Non-Catholic Christians are atheists or that they have no faith.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,

Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements.

Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church.

All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Hello Idiot,
I was raised catholic and as an adult I have decided catholisicm and any so called organized faith just did not cut it for me. I believe in GOD and do my best to live a decent life. I know there is one judge and only one judge and it sure the heck is not you. How can you be so crass as to think catholics are the only ones who will enter the kingdom of heaven? You live by the true teachings? Read the 10 commandments and see how wrong you are in just your statement. Heaven forbid how you conduct yourself in everyday life. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself. Oops!!!
Too late. Repent (and yes I'm judging) Idiot and there may be hope for you. I also noted you use the word simple very often.
Could it be you are a simpleton. As for your statement about true teachings! It is all interpretation and that is why there is so much conflict in what the bible is about. Different leaders teach different things to suit their own belief and stray from the true message of GOD. There are too many man made rules regarding religion that have nothing to do with what jesus christ was all about. They say one thing and 20 years later they change the rule. In example- If a catholic divorces they are no longer a member of the church. Thats real nice if you have an abusive spouse who beats you and the kids and you seek refuge through divorce and then your church throws you to the curb. Well thank the lord above that CATHOLIC RELIGION changed that rule years ago. I guess they are the true religion. Know what a eunich is and what their purpose was. I don't think any other faith had them. Exclusive benefits of the royal papacy. Thats all for now and I hope you graduate

Answer 3

Wow. That is an interesting post. Sorry to say you are so off base it is almost funny. I will not bash Catholics. I know there are many born again brothers and sisters that follow the Catholic doctrine. But sadly I think you are not one of them. It seems like you are into blowing your own horn a bit too much. And your facts (and I use that very loosely) are flawed. I happen to know for a fact that non Catholics can exorcise demons. And I know many Protestants that go to church more often than most of the Catholics I know. Why would you attack believers, when you claim to be one yourself? If your saved, then praise God and turn away from this silly judgment. If you are not saved, get your head on straight and seek Jesus. God bless you.

Answer 4

Somebody is hopped up on idiot.

You obviously don't know that the Roman Catholics were the first Protestants. They split away from Orthodox Christianity in 1054.

If Catholicism is the true faith then why are your Roman Catholic leaders trying DESPERATELY to reunite with the Orthodox Christian Church? Ask your priest about that.

Oh, and learn proper English grammar and how to spell.

I was joking before, but you ARE hopped up on idiot.

DRAKE: That Revelation reference is about the Roman Catholic Church and how Babylon supports Rome and it's "Anti-christ Holy Roman Emperor," i.e. the Pope, which will happen in the future by these nuts like Male Kaleesh. So you were right on the mark with that one.

Answer 5

I am sorry but your statement is very false and very unchristian.

In order to be an atheist you have to not believe in God. Which means that ANYBODY who believes in a God is not an atheist. Nobody says that we all have to believe in the same God. Non Christians, can believe in a God and not be Atheist.

A hypocrite is someone who claims to believe something, then does something entirely different. It does not mean that I believe something different than you do, that I think my faith is the true religion. For example if I said that I think that Alcohol is evil, and that people should not drink, then I go out and get drunk- then I am a hypocrite. If I say that Alcohol is not good, and I don't drink, then I am Holding to MY beliefs. If you don't agree with me and you drink- then you are holding to your beliefs, but you are not a hypocrite simply because you don't believe the same thing I do,

You see I completely disagree with you because I think that mine is the only true religion and that the elders in my church are the only ones on this earth with the authority to act in the name of God. Which I guess would include excorsism if needed, not like that is a big issue that is needed a lot but what ever. I AM a Christian. I believe in Christ. I believe that he is the Only Begotten of the Father. I believe that he died for our sins. I believe that he is our saviour and that only through him and his atonement and obedience to his laws, can mankind be saved. Also I go to church every Sunday- Sometimes I attend church activities during the week. I donate to my church- most members of my church do.

What I don't do is tell other Christians that they are athiests and Hypocrites simply because they disagree with me. I don't tell people that they don't know the bible or Jesus simply because they don't believe the same thing I do, That is just simply not Christ like and not part of my teaching. I believe that we are all Children of a loving father in Heaven and that he wants us all to find our way back to him.

Jesus taught that we should love one another and that we should love him and his Father who is God. That is what makes you a Christian- not which faith you belong to- but that you love and accept Jesus and strive to do his will.

Answer 6

Dear Male Kal,

I heard that from my Roman Catholic friends when I was a child. I also heard a slight variation of that from my Watchtower Witness relatives.

I disagree with you wholeheartedly. You are talking religion rather than a Relationship with the living LORD. Tradition does NOT save. Jesus saves.

Have you read the Bible for yourself? After you read it from cover-to-cover a couple of times I suggest that you read the book Far From Rome, Near To God - Testimonies of Fifty Converted Roman Catholic Priests. It is edited by Richard Bennett and Martin Buckingham

One thing that really amazed me as I read the book was that many of the former priests realized long after seminary how little their seminary training included reading the Bible.

Answer 7

Catholic here.

I agree with you that we are the one true Church founded by Christ. I don't agree with shoving this down people's throats. What coverts people is love and the Holy Spirit. I understand your frustration; Catholics are constantly bashed all the time, but we have to set the example as the true light of Christ. Nothing can stand against that.

Pray for those that insult you, frustrate you, and attack your faith. Pray for strength.

God bless, and keep strong.

Answer 8

As a Catholic, I'm not going to bother to comment on this mishmash of misinformation, falsehoods, and exaggerations. What I *am* going to do is apologize to all of my fellow Christians here on behalf of my faith and those of us who try to practice it with love and respect for others.

Please understand that this is NOT what the Catholic Church teaches or believes. All those who worship the living and true God and who are redeemed through the Precious Blood of Jesus are our brothers and sisters in the Christian faith.

Answer 9

Now, I've heard it all. So the Christians aren't Christians now.
Does that mean that Catholics will be the only ones in Heaven?
Holy Ghost filled believers cast devils out of people quite often. I would be happy to show you. I really hope you are joking with this post.

Answer 10

If you are a Christian and you're not a Catholic, then you are a Protestant. Protestants can also be true people of God and Catholics are not all true people of God. And they are not perfect, no matter how much you try to make them. Many people don't like Catholics because of the Pedophilia Scandal, how they tried to cover up all the crimes they commit, and many people view their beliefs as strange. And Catholic Church attendances are at an all time low. So you guys aren't perfect.
