FROM THE RULES: Civil Discussion ONLY: They want you divided. They want you labeled by race, religion, class, sex, etc. Divided you are weak [no collective power]. Divided you attack each other and miss the true target [them].
I’ve had members here say VILE things about my Faith, been told I’m a pedophile just bc I'm Catholic, ALL CATHOLICS ARE PEDOS, I’m a pagan, I worship idols, I’m Satan, satanic, etc.,etc., etc....all the same LIES & IGNORANT BULLSHIT I put up with by everyone else, everywhere else. People have actually quit this group because of the toxicity at GA.
If you feel the need to spout off with an anti-Catholic comment here, you’re exactly the piece of work I’m addressing.
Unity? WWG1WGA, except for Catholics?
I never said antipope You did. He’s not an antipope. Rosaries are never mentioned in the Bible. But this is: It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." [2 Machabees 12:46] Douay Rheims
You can say there is no Pope instead of calling Bergoglio an antipope. but wouldn't that offend a devout Roman Catholic who is not a sedivacantist?
Jesus warns us against vain repetitions when we pray. As somebody who went to Catholic School and had to say the rosary, I guarantee I was rattling off those Hail Marys and Our Fathers as fast as I possibly could, and many of the Catholics who attend church every morning (and there are those who do just that) rapid fire their rosaries in much the same fashion.
Praying FOR the dead and praying TO the dead are two different things.
Also, Jerome, who translated the Bible into Latin (Vulgate), referred to Maccabees and the other books of the Apocrypha as doubtful books. The Council of Laodicea (367 AD) did not recognize any of the Apocrypha (1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Baruch, etc,) as canon.
Again, I never called Bergoglio and antipope. You did. He is not an antipope.
The Bible warns against vain repetition, not sincere repetition. If He warned against repetitious prayer, why would He Himself tell us to pray the Our Father? He didn’t say to only pray it once. It is unfortunate you did not come to understand the rosary, instead saw it as a burden to be rattled off. It was Luther’s Revolution fallout that diced up the Bible.
This is exactly what you said.
Again, believe what you wish, but now you're bashing my beliefs and saying it's unfortunate I don't believe exactly what you believe. Do you not see the hypocrisy in that?
I don’t think you understand what an antipope is. Bergoglio isn’t an antipope. No, I said it’s unfortunate you did come to understand the rosary. I didn’t say anything about your beliefs. I don’t even know what they are. No hypocrisy.
