why do people who arent Catholic / dont know anything about the Catholic church put us down and make lies...?

Question

about our faith?

Answer 1

You wrongly assume that because we aren't Catholic that we don't know anything about Catholicism. In many cases, you are incorrect. I, like many others, was raised Catholic and it is extreme in many aspects (Pedophile Priests anyone?) and shady at the same time (as in changing its mind when it benefits the offering baskets), which is why it attracts so much attention - often in the form of criticism!

However, Catholics aren't alone in this by any means. Everyone is persecuted for something or another. Get used to it, it's part of life!

Answer 2

I don't tell lies about the catholic church,

I just look at the teachings (from offical sources) and then point out that they are not biblical, anti-Jesus and is a human form of worship that the bible says God rejects

other than that, I have nothing to add.
thanks for an opportunity to repeat this

Answer 3

It is because life is just full of choices my bro.

When you are big and famous, someone is gonna put you down and find any error from you and make it look big. When a priest makes a scandal it is in the headlines but when a pastor makes a scandal it just as small part in the tabloid.

When someone just doesn't like you, he or she will laugh at your mistakes and cry at your acheivements.

Some people are just over confident with themselves that they think they have known every verse every page in the bible. They believe they already have the authority to interpret the bible and spread their own interpretations with out knowing that the devil has been more familiar with every verse and page of the bible more than they do.

They didn't know that only the true Church the Roman Catholic Church built by Jesus Himself will not fall to the gates of hell.

The bible is not to be studied with out the teacher.
That is what is lacking with bible based churches. They forgot that they needed a teacher to understand the bible. They didn't know that the Roman Catholic Church is the teacher.

That is why we need to defend our Roman Catholic Church and our faith.

God bless us all.

Answer 4

Wow. Quite a few answers here from people who supposedly were Catholic and knew all about the faith...yet such extremely wrong points made...like the priest becoming Jesus...Catholics don't believe that...or the Pope being Jesus on Earth...don't believe that either...

Answer 5

there's a difference between a nationality and a race. i do no longer understand of any race that chosen a faith for itself. many countries have. those international places do no longer %. a faith and prepare it to advance their u . s . a . or lifestyle or placed down yet another's. i'm jap Orthodox, and on occasion it sort of feels unusual to assert i'm Russian Orthodox or Greek Orthodox, via fact Orthodox Christianity is for all human sort--no longer in common terms particular nationalities--yet that terminology is what human beings are familiar with, so i take advantage of it...No nationwide team has ever used that faith for political or racial benefit for itself. Worship of God is break free cultural desires and concerns. Worship of God supercedes nationwide or cultural desires and concerns. i did no longer circulate to a Russian Church via fact i'm Russian and that i do no longer circulate to a Greek Church via fact i'm Greek---i'm no longer. i decide for the right and suitable worship of God, that folk who lived in those international places traditionally practiced. it relatively is not a cultural assertion; that's a non secular assertion. Any race and any nationality that makes use of faith for nationwide or racial benefit isn't spiritually astute adequate to learn non secular funds in on the religion....Christ says which you have heavenly reward or reward of adult adult males, yet no longer the two. Orthodoxy has been overlaid with cultural aspects in each and every u . s . a . the place it relatively is been the norm or significant faith, yet how ought to human beings be expected to function outdoors their very own lifestyle. the religion continues to be for non secular purpose, and not cultural ones. i'm no longer indignant interior the statements made by utilising that guy, via fact i know how absurd they're. Orthodox Christians carry forth and stay love for all, even with nationwide origen and race. consistently have; consistently will.

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

Tell me what part of what I say about catholics is a lie.
1) They bow down and pray to Mary
2) They pray to counless Saints
3) They don't believe in birth control
4) They believe that priests could absolve them from their sins in the last rites
5) They don't allow the priests or the nuns to marry
6) They don't believe in sex unless it's for procreation purposes only (thus very large families)
7) They allow some of the priests to get away with pedophilia.
8) The nuns in catholic school was allowed to use corporal punishment on the students (my father was raised catholic and went to the catholic schools, and he told me)
9) They bow down to a cross with jesus still nailed to it.

Again, please tell me what I'm lying about when I say these things.

Answer 8

Well, now, I support telling the truth. But do you believe that we shouldn't talk about Muslims unless we are Muslim? Can't talk about Americans unless we're American? It's a good thing for people of the world to be curious and talk about each other. The Catholic Church has a long history which has had a profound effect on many people who were not Catholic. It's only reasonable that people want to talk about it. If they get their facts wrong, straighten them out, but try not to be so defensive.

Answer 9

Jealous of our success. And I guess they are very insecure about their faith so they bash Catholics to validate their beliefs. If I am sure about my faith why should I bother about other people's faith? Their answer to that question is 'we don't want you to go to hell, we love you' which too me is just ridiculous.

Answer 10

like god said, devil/ satan is sent to humans to turn them from the truth..
btw, Why do people who arent muslims / dont know anything about the islam put us down and make lies...?

Answer 11

Most people actually do know a fair amount about Christianity and Catholicism in the US due to its proliferation in the main stream.

It's possible you don't understand what they're saying, or they're wrong, of course. People are mistaken and stupid all the time.

But to say they target only Catholicism is false. The Catholics are just a REALLY easy target.
