CJ, Brian, Suzi -?

Question

I know that you people hate (with a passion it seems) the Catholic Church. But doesnt God tell us to not judge others? You three seem to be so filled with hate for the RCC and its followers. If you dont like our teachings then dont follow them- I have yet to see anyone here try to get you to attend Mass. We believe what we believe because we feel God working through us when we do these things. Whats wrong with that? Of course some catholics are bad and do horrible things, so do protestants, muslims, jews, everyone.

Why do you feel the need to hurt by brothers and sisters? I would rather you attack me then them. A day of peace would be wonderfull.

And with that, for any hurt I have caused you, I do apoligize and hope you can forgive me.

(((CC))) its okay, I know the feeling- Im praying for you

Im going to keep posting this until they see it

Answer 1

You trying to get water out of a rock. Those people don't know how to be honest. They buy into their grade school level Bible booklets, and spew out anti-Catholic lies out of their mouths. You're wasting your time.
But you ARE being a good Catholic by reaching out. I'm afraid I don't feel quite so charitable this morning after reading all the vile things they have been posting

Answer 2

You could add a few more to the list......Rudy P , Jolly Roger, Edge & New Creture....They all talk about the false gospels & false churches.....Well the truth is their gospels & churches have only been around for a few hundred years if that........since the catholic gospels & church have been with us from the time of Jesus Christ 2000 + yrs.
Regardless of what non-Catholic Christians may think or say, according to secular, objective historians, the Catholic Church alone preserved Sacred Scripture throughout the persecution of the Roman Empire and during the Dark Ages. All non-Catholic Christian denominations owe the existence of the Bible to the Catholic Church alone. Why did God choose the Catholic Church to preserve Scripture if It is not His Church?
The papacy is the oldest Intuition in the world .- How could it survived without the grace of God & the guidance of the Holy Spirit.........The Holy Spirit did not convert to Islam in 610AD or Lutheranism in 1517AD or Calvinism in 1540s AD .or 20'000 different non-Catholic Christian denominations?..There's no comparisons..

Catholicism - The original Christianity...established in 33 A.D.

Answer 3

Look fellow Catholic members why do you let these people annoy you so much? they are programmed and delusioned souls who really do believe that they are defenders of the Christian faith and yet every answer,every comment makes them look more and more pitiful.
There is nothing so useless as an idle tongue flapping in the wind,you cannot debate with such as these because they can only repeat the same tired old stupid rubbish like parrots.
One of these deluded people actually calls us a Babylonian cult but never supplies fact to back up such a ridiculous claim,where they get their indoctrination is beyond me,our faith has withstood 2,000yrs of hatred from the demons of Hell and still it is alive and little insignificant mouth pieces will not even cause a small dent.
Rejoice when you are persecuted in My name said the Lord,so where is our rejoicing today?

Answer 4

"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church - which is, of course, quite a different thing."

The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.

Answer 5

I won't waste anymore points trying to get any rational response from these creatures!

They can NOT refute anything in those SHORT tracts at catholic.com, yet continue to spew their lies about our Holy Mother, the Church.

And yes, I doubt that this 'Theotokus' character is catholic! No Catholic will call the Virgin Mary our 'Holy Mother'. This is the Catholic Church itself!

Pay attention, if you are Catholic. Stop posing as one if you are not.

Answer 6

They must say that the Catholic Church is wrong or else why are they Protestants? Yet they must also admit that not one of their denominations has any right to declare itself to be the one True Church. And that, for the simple reason that Christ did not estab­lish any institution which could be known by men to be His Church.


They are all brought up with that impression and so they continue in religious matters to wander where they will, like people in a forest, who follow any line of tracks without bothering to ask where it leads. And they so love the risky adventure of experi­menting for themselves that they search Scripture for every possible text which they think will support them.


All Christians admit that Christ intended a unity of some kind to prevail amongst His followers. But we cannot deny for ourselves what type of unity must prevail. The "all going the one way" type of unity, whilst each goes his own way, is useless if it be quite foreign to the mind of Christ. Who can accept the in­vention of Protestants who, noting the numberless ways in which they are divided, define the unity re­quired to suit themselves in their present circumstances and in such a way that they may remain where they are.


Those who believed all that He had taught would at least be one in faith. Again, He demanded unity in worship. "One Lord, one faith, one baptism," was to be the rule and baptism belongs to worship. The early Christians were told distinctly by St. Paul that participation in the same Eucharistic worship probably was essential to the unity. "We, being many, are one bread, one body; all that partake of one bread".
In other words, "The one Christ is to be found in Holy Communion, and we, however numerous we may be, are one in Him if we partake of the same Holy Communion."

Protestantism cannot preserve Christian standards in­tact. Articles of faith have gone overboard. Mortifi­cation and fasting are not required. The evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience, with their consequent inspiration of monastic life are ig­nored. Protestant writings excuse, and even approve, laxity in moral practice. Protestantism has not pro­duced anything equivalent to the canonized Catholic Saint. Many of the Sacraments of Christ are not even acknowledged by Protestantism, whilst the heart has been torn out of its worship by the loss of Christ's presence in the Blessed Eucharist. Of spiritual author­ity there is scarcely a trace. The very clergy are not trained in moral law, and cannot advise the laity as they should, even were the laity willing to accept ad­vice. The prevalent notion, "Believe on Christ and be saved," tends of its very nature to lessen the sense of necessity of personal virtue.

Protestantism was a movement of heated dissent. Error and rebellion took the first Protestants from the Catholic Church, the various forms of error, or the various countries in which the rebellion occurred, giving rise to the various sects. But any goodness which the first Protestants took as doctrinal baggage with them was derived from the Church they left. And any apparent goodness in the teachings of Protestant­ism is still to be found in the Catholic Church. Where, in the Catholic Church, cockle sown by the enemy is found here and there amidst the wheat, Satan was wise enough to allow some wheat here and there to remain amidst the cockle of Protestantism. And it is the presence of this wheat which accounts for the con­tinued existence of Protestantism. But the wheat does not really belong to Protestantism. It is a relic of Catholicism growing in alien soil. A Catholic is good when he lives up to Catholic principles, refusing to depart from them. A Protestant is good when he unconsciously acts on Catholic principles, departing from those which are purely Protestant.

Answer 7

It seems like today is the day for fundies to bash catholics. I may find myself siding more with the catholics today than normal.

Answer 8

I'm not Catholic, I'm Jewish... However it bothers me too when people hate things they don't understand. I agree that they should attend mass and study to actually discover that there are valid reasons to your beliefs.
