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?
Only if they only believe in the canonized Holy Bible with no traditions or idols which is impossible to do that and continue to stay in Catholic Church… it’s a circular argument
Ok so who do they make an idol out of. Idol is something you worship as God. The Mary thing they dont view as God or even a divine being. They view it as paying respect to. Same with everything else. Just because u assume they worship it doesnt make it so. Every catholic I have ever met views God as the top and accept jesus in the heart. U do realise not a single person on this planet has the complete understanding of the bible. So are there no Christian's.
You may want to read the catechism when you get a chance. Every accusation made at this site can be read verbatim from it. I'm an anathema, remember, the Happy Anathema? How can "anathema" even be introduced into the polite conversation that you so desire? Look at how many they have killed through all of history. Is this the "discourse" you seek?
I’ve had a lot of experiences with Catholics and they are fine mostly… I don’t think they understand the Bible as I do coming up in a non denominational Christian environment with no book but the Bible and no creed but Christ. But the idol thing is huge even if they consider it not following idols. Also there are a hundred other reasons that are hard to verbalize but one is having to go to a father of the church to ask for forgiveness because he is your intermediary to God when that in itself forces the people trying to follow Christ to worship a false idol (the father or priest or pope or whatever it is). Another item that comes to the top of my head is all of the craziness that happens at church and at funerals in the Catholic Church. I guess if you grew up in it it’s fine but when I went to a catholic funeral it was insane and I felt surrounded by satan. The acceptance of child molesters in the church and hiding them and lying about abuse is not ok either. And the latest shenanigans of the Pope changing hands for who knows what reason and then with all of the weird liberal stuff he has done since it went down… all of that should prove to anybody that it is the church of satan and you should get away from it as soon as you can.
Last thing… which church do most crooked politicians go to?
So first of thank you for this response. This is what we need. So funny that u mentioned that last part. So I just moved to my current state of Delaware and found out I live super close to Biden. And "his church" so I actually went to a mass there and just observed and prayed over it. I didnt like it to be honest. U are correct many things about Catholic church are corrupted and need to be fix. There are also very evil people that have infiltrated it and that needs to be fixed as well. The catholic church needs a devolution itself. There is so much good that is there. It's the largest denomination. Let's find common ground with the "people" of catholic church. Then once we have unity with them we can begin to strip away the errors. Or I should say Jesus will begin to. The powers that control them are the problem.
You too! My thoughts with people are I give each person an opportunity to show me who they are. So if I met a catholic I don’t think they are evil or satanic. I think of them as someone looking for the lord but satan has skewed it for them. But someday the Lord will help them find Him and that is between them and the Lord. I will do my best not to mince words and say what I feel is true… I am offensive to people sometimes but I try not to be. I feel like we are all on this long road just at different spots in the journey but God sees each persons heart and that’s what’s important!
