There has never been a catholic pope (or cardinal for that matter) that was anything other than a Globalist Satanist Dictator, using The Matrix to control all the world. That was the original design of the Catholic Church (see Emperor Constantine). It has never been out of the control of the same people for two millennia.
The split in the Holy Roman Church was not the beginning of the Papacy (i.e. the God-Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire who rules by Divine Decree). You can argue all you want about the split that created what people call "Catholicism" but the truth is, its the same shit, different name.
Here's a start to understanding what the entire religion is, along with the origins of the Trinity which caused the split into two different Catholic Churches (by different names).
(Note the intended link is in the comments section, not the OP).
"Yawn" is not a rebuttal, but a training of The Matrix. You ignore the evidence if it doesn't support your belief (or in this case, a statement that would lead to evidence if you looked). Reaffirmation of Bias is not the path to the Truth, but the path back into the control of The Matrix.
“Yawn” is a response to the same old, worn-out, regurgitated lies (evidence [sic] ) people gleefully tell each other. After decades and decades of trying to enlighten the willfully-ignorant, I’ve learned you don’t want the truth, but rather choose to wade in your own self-serving calumny. Deo vindice.
I have spent my entire life in search of the Truth. I care nothing about what final form that Truth takes. I care only that I pursue it in earnest; which means I look at all the evidence. In that pursuit I follow the evidence, not any desires I may have, since my only desire is to understand the Truth.
The evidence suggests that what I stated is the best theory to fit all the facts. I can list the evidence all day long if you wish to engage, but it requires you actually look at it. If you think I haven't spent any time studying the Bible; I spent two decades studying it and arguing with biblical scholars and theologians. I'm you're Huckleberry.
If you wish to see the beginning of the evidence chain I can submit please see the link in my response to another person in this same thread.
Do you study the bible, or Luther’s version, chopped and mis-translated to fit his new theology, this theology that no one taught and no one believed prior to the 1500s? If you want to discuss the Douay Rheims, I’d consider. Otherwise it’s like debating the repairing of a Ford engine with a Mitsubishi Chilton.
I have studied... everything. I said that already. I look at ALL the evidence.
If you want to discuss the Douay Rheims
Why don't we talk about the origins of the bible, like I have been trying to do (see my link above as I suggested). You think something written, or translated, from the "original Latin" of a book created hundreds of years after the time attributed to Jesus has more meaning than the original works that created it? A translation, final compilation, and edit of a book created by a council whose mandate was to create a Religion to unite the disparate religions of the Holy Roman Empire (previously known as the Roman Empire until that Council of Nicaea)?
You seem to think because a book is old it is true. You seem to think that because the book itself circularly describes itself as "The Truth" it must be so.
Who really put that book together? Who really left other books out, and performed the final translation from scrolls that were themselves in many cases translations? If one looks deeply enough, you can find that sentences were added when compared to other works found, MANY parts have translations that are controversial and have remained controversial for millennia. That council may have even added an entire book (Revelations). That particular book in no small part really solidifies the whole thing into one "Divine Book." That's terribly convenient and very interestingly is the most controversial of all books as to its original authorship.
The bible has taught all of humanity for millennia to not see themselves as sovereign, but as "servants to God," where the most common meaning taken from the word "servant" is "slave," at least by effect.
In the case of the Catholic Church, people are also taught to be servants to the decree of the Holy Roman Empire through the Pope. Jesus was all about teaching us our sovereignty. The bible (ALL of the versions since the "original" from Nicaea) is all about taking it away and giving our self-reliance and empowerment to a "higher power" (in the case of the "Latin translation," two higher powers).
This is what Catholics believe. If you believe we believe differently from this, you’re not open to the Truth.

Further, we are subject to a pope (if we had one, sedevacante) not as a man who makes his own rules or loyalty to a dead empire, but because he is Vicar of Christ. The Church cannot err as She is under the divine Protection of the Holy Ghost.
Because Christ Himself left Peter as the Rock on whom He built His Church: The Pope, which means head bishop of the Church, is referred to as the "rock" of the Church, or as the "shepherd" of the Church. Christ used that terminology when He appointed the Apostle Peter the first head bishop of His Church, saying: "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona . . . Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." (Matt. 16:17-19). "There shall be one fold and one shepherd." (John 10:16). "Feed my lambs . . . feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). The words "rock" and "shepherd" must apply to Peter, and they must distinguish him as the head Apostle, otherwise Christ's statements are so ambiguous as to be meaningless. Certainly the other Apostles understood that Peter had authority from Christ to lead the Church, for they gave him the presiding place every time they assembled in council (Acts 1:15, 5:1-10), and they placed his name first every time they listed the names of the Apostles. (Matt. 10:2, Mark 3:16, Luke 6:13-14, Acts 1:13).
In addition, there is the testimony of the Church Fathers. In the second century St. Hegessipus compiled a list of Popes to the time of Anicetus (eleventh Pope) which contained the name of St. Peter as first. Early in the third century the historian Caius wrote that Pope Victor was "the thirteenth Bishop of Rome from Peter." In the middle of the third century St. Cyprian related that Cornelius (twenty-first Pope) "mounted the lofty summit of the priesthood . . . the place of Peter." Even Protestant historians have attested to Peter's role as first Bishop of Rome, first Pope of the Catholic Church. Wrote the eminent Protestant historian Cave in his Historia Literaria: "That Peter was at Rome, and held the See there for some time, we fearlessly affirm with the whole multitude of the ancients." Hence the source of the Pope's authority to rule over the Catholic Church is quite obvious: It was given him by none other than Jesus Christ – by God Himself.
John 10:7-18 ESV
So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. [8] All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. [9] I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. [11] I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. [12] He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. [13] He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. [14] I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, [15] just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. [16] And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. [17] For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. [18] No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father."
Yes, He is the Shepherd. And He also said this:
“”Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood." “” Acts 20:28
What translation are you using? Mine reads much differently.
Acts 20:28 ESV
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
My apologies, that was Saint Paul stating that, not Christ. But a warning still, nonetheless. This is from the Douay Rheims translation, directly translated from the Latin Vulgate Of St. Jerome, circa 382 AD
Also, if you continue reading, we're warned of wolves entering the flock
Acts 20:28-31 NKJV
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. [29] For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. [31] Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
Yes, exactly. And Luther was that very wolf who created a revolution with its own self-serving theology, one that had NEVER been taught before: no change needed, just believe. 😢
Why would God, an omnipotent being, use books to communicate with humans? Books filled with language whose meaning evolves over time, copied by humans who make mistakes and insert their own agendas?
Nothing about the story makes sense, that's why they teach it to children, before they mature enough to notice the inconsistencies.
You guys teach me new vocabulary all the time!😁
"Sedevacantism is a theological position embraced by a minority of Traditionalist Catholics which holds that the Papal See has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 (or, in some cases, the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963).
The term "sedevacantism" is derived from the Latin phrase sede vacante, which literally means "while the seat is vacant," the seat in question being that of the Papal See. The phrase is used during the vacancy of the Holy See between the death or resignation of a Pope and the election of his successor.
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Sedevacantism
The question is, why don’t you? Asking for help isn’t worship.
When Catholics pray to Mary and the other saints in Heaven they are not bypassing Christ, Whom we acknowledge as the sole Mediator between God and man. We are going to Christ through Mary and the other saints. We are asking Mary and other saints to intercede for us before the throne of Christ in Heaven. "For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much." (James 5:16). How much more availing is the unceasing prayer of the sinless Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ! St. Paul asked his fellow Christians to intercede for him: "Brethren, pray for us." (2 Thess. 3:1). And again: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God . . ." (Rom. 15:30). Christ must particularly approve of our going to Him through Mary, His Blessed Mother, because He chose to come to us through her. And at Cana, He performed His first miracle after a word from His Mother. (John 2:2-11).
It is clear in Sacred Scripture that the saints in Heaven will intercede for us before the throne of Christ if they are petitioned in prayer (Apoc. or Rev. 8:3-4), and it is clear in the records of primitive Christianity that the first Christians eagerly sought their intercession. Wrote St. John Chrysostom in the fourth century: "When thou perceivest that God is chastening thee, fly not to His enemies, but to His friends, the martyrs, the saints, and those who were pleasing to Him, and who have great power." If the saints have such power with God, how much more His own Mother.
It's useless to try and make some see the truth. I appreciate your efforts. They're happier when hating. These are the exact types of people Q said want to divide us by religion.
John 14:5-7 ESV
Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" [6] Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. [7] If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
You have been deceived, You are committing idolatry. Exodus 20:4-6 ESV
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. [5] You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, [6] but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Revelation 22:8-9 ESV
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, [9] but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."
Idolatry is a GRIEVOUS and damning sin against the First Commandment; no other creature or object but the Triune God is to be worshipped. This worship is called LATRIA . Mary is given reverence, NOT worship. This reverence is called HYPERDULIA because she is the Mother of God. Prayer is not worship, prayer is conversation. Why is Mary off limits simply because she’s dead? Do you know what else is a damning sin? Calumny, a sin against the 8th Commandment. If I’m telling you what I don’t worship, and you’re falsely telling me that I do worship something, who is the one sinning?
There is only two paths a man can take. I pray that you repent because purgatory does not exist.
Matthew 7:13-23 ESV
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. [14] For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. [15] "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? [17] So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. [18] A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. [21] "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' [23] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
I myself am a Catholic rolls eyes, that monstrosity needs to be gone. If you’ve ever seen “The Keepers” on Netflix, about a murder of a nun and the cover up of it, they mention Bishop Malooley as being one of the priests covering up the murder at the time. I had alter served with him on multiple occasions, from 8-17, if I only knew. The Catholic Church always promotes the worst of the worst to higher positions, sad and pitiful.
You’re missing the point of this whole post.
The Catholic Church isn’t what you even knew, you knew the counterfeit one, same as me.
The communists created a Marxist counterfeit church in the last century by way of Vatican 2 council.
This ape “church” has its own council, damning theology, sacraments, mass, rites, priests, popes, etc. Bergoglio is its leader. There is no pope. Sedevacante!
This satanic “church” includes the sodomy, pedophilia, Lavender Mafia, etc.
Pope St. Pius V condemned to DEATH any filthy rogue priests.
Seems to me you missed the point of me just saying a small snippet of what has happened in my life without going into extreme detail. Sorry for not including everything you already stated rolls yes again
Ok but seriously I agree and already knew all that, thanks for the post
You said: “I had alter served with him on multiple occasions, from 8-17, if I only knew. The Catholic Church always promotes the worst of the worst to higher positions, sad and pitiful.” ...and I said that wasn’t the Catholic Church and he wasn’t Catholic. He is a Marxist. He’s exactly what I’m talking about.
Ugh, apparently I needed to write an essay for you to be understanding. Sorry for not putting a ton of detail in my message and going the cliffnotes way.
Your details aren’t relevant to what this post is about. You’re equating the Marxist fake church to the Catholic Church; I’m simply saying we were both fooled, one is Catholic, the other is satanic.
OK everybody here please calm down! They want us divided, remember? If we all claim to serve Jesus here then surely we can treat each other with respect? Love one another. Focus on Jesus, the one person you definitely CAN agree on!
We all have reasons to believe what we do. I went from evangelical to Anglican after reading a church history book. It really made me reconsider a lot of things. Before anyone judges the others’ salvation here at least try to understand where they’re coming from first? And for my fellow Protestants here, Maybe you could pick up a real history book by an actual historian (not a pastor with an ax to grind) before trying to convert the Catholics here? I’m seeing a lot of pseudohistory being espoused here, and that’s an instant turnoff for your Catholic friends.
Of course I’m probably going to get eaten by all sides here because nobody knows what to do with Anglicans since they don’t fit anywhere. 😋
My hell, do you people EVER tire from regurgitating the same. Old. Worn. Out. Tired. LIES?! Do you know it is a mortal and damning sin to engage in calumny, a sin against the eighth commandment? It is absolutely ridiculous to tell a person what he or she believes. If the truth matters to you, if you want to stop doing the work of Satan, read all of this. It will answer and refute everything you’ve ever been told about Holy Mother Church. If you refuse to read it, you’re perfectly content and happy to do Satan’s bidding. http://www.olrl.org/apologetics/cathansr.shtml
There has never been a catholic pope (or cardinal for that matter) that was anything other than a Globalist Satanist Dictator, using The Matrix to control all the world. That was the original design of the Catholic Church (see Emperor Constantine). It has never been out of the control of the same people for two millennia.
Who's idea was it to have children call sterile priests "Father"? Children generally trust their fathers...
Maybe the being you call Yahweh isn't who you think he is. Maybe the man in the windowless van offering you candy isn't actually your friend...
The Emperor Constantine has NOTHING to do with Catholicism, which only sprang into being after the schism of 1054 following the Filioque controversy.
The split in the Holy Roman Church was not the beginning of the Papacy (i.e. the God-Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire who rules by Divine Decree). You can argue all you want about the split that created what people call "Catholicism" but the truth is, its the same shit, different name.

Why does a Catholic need a Pope? Serious question. Can't they just pray/talk to God without a middle man?
Because Christ Himself left Peter as the Rock on whom He built His Church: The Pope, which means head bishop of the Church, is referred to as the "rock" of the Church, or as the "shepherd" of the Church. Christ used that terminology when He appointed the Apostle Peter the first head bishop of His Church, saying: "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona . . . Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." (Matt. 16:17-19). "There shall be one fold and one shepherd." (John 10:16). "Feed my lambs . . . feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). The words "rock" and "shepherd" must apply to Peter, and they must distinguish him as the head Apostle, otherwise Christ's statements are so ambiguous as to be meaningless.

Jesus is the shepherd.
John 10:7-18 ESV So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. [8] All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. [9] I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. [11] I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. [12] He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. [13] He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. [14] I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, [15] just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. [16] And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. [17] For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. [18] No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father."
Yes, He is the Shepherd. And He also said this: “”Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood." “” Acts 20:28
What translation are you using? Mine reads much differently.

My apologies, that was Saint Paul stating that, not Christ. But a warning still, nonetheless. This is from the Douay Rheims translation, directly translated from the Latin Vulgate Of St. Jerome, circa 382 AD
Ah, I only use translations from the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
Just so you understand, that is what St. Jerome did. Anything you use is spun off of his work.
Which is...?
Also, if you continue reading, we're warned of wolves entering the flock
Acts 20:28-31 NKJV Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. [29] For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. [31] Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
Yes, exactly. And Luther was that very wolf who created a revolution with its own self-serving theology, one that had NEVER been taught before: no change needed, just believe. 😢
Luther didn't seek worship.
The papacy does however.
No, worshipping the papacy is done by literally NO ONE. Calumny is a grievous sin against the 8th Commandment. Stop it.
Why would God, an omnipotent being, use books to communicate with humans? Books filled with language whose meaning evolves over time, copied by humans who make mistakes and insert their own agendas?
Nothing about the story makes sense, that's why they teach it to children, before they mature enough to notice the inconsistencies.
The Vatican was always under their control unfortunately
You guys teach me new vocabulary all the time!😁 "Sedevacantism is a theological position embraced by a minority of Traditionalist Catholics which holds that the Papal See has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 (or, in some cases, the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963).

Yes. The Seat is indeed empty; an apostate cannot sit on the Seat.
Catholics don't serve Christ.
(Edit) Yes I mistakenly did not capitalize "Christ" which I now corrected. Thankfully, Jesus has already forgiven me.
Also you should know that "Christ" is not His name, it is a title.
We serve Him AND capitalize His Holy Name, Christ.
Then why do you pray to Mary?
The question is, why don’t you? Asking for help isn’t worship. When Catholics pray to Mary and the other saints in Heaven they are not bypassing Christ, Whom we acknowledge as the sole Mediator between God and man. We are going to Christ through Mary and the other saints. We are asking Mary and other saints to intercede for us before the throne of Christ in Heaven.

Wrote St. John Chrysostom in the fourth century: "When thou perceivest that God is chastening thee, fly not to His enemies, but to His friends, the martyrs, the saints, and those who were pleasing to Him, and who have great power." If the saints have such power with God, how much more His own Mother.
It's useless to try and make some see the truth. I appreciate your efforts. They're happier when hating. These are the exact types of people Q said want to divide us by religion.
“Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?”
Saul was the King of Isreal who was Hunting David, who wrote that pslam
He was also zealous in his habit of persecution of Christ’s Holy Church. Like you.
John 14:5-7 ESV Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" [6] Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. [7] If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
For those reading... do you see that the Catholics are down voting the words of Jesus himself? They profess to love Christ, then spit on His Word.
You have been deceived, You are committing idolatry. Exodus 20:4-6 ESV "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. [5] You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, [6] but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Revelation 22:8-9 ESV I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, [9] but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."
You are committed to the doctrine of demons.
Idolatry is a GRIEVOUS and damning sin against the First Commandment; no other creature or object but the Triune God is to be worshipped. This worship is called LATRIA . Mary is given reverence, NOT worship. This reverence is called HYPERDULIA because she is the Mother of God. Prayer is not worship, prayer is conversation. Why is Mary off limits simply because she’s dead? Do you know what else is a damning sin? Calumny, a sin against the 8th Commandment. If I’m telling you what I don’t worship, and you’re falsely telling me that I do worship something, who is the one sinning?
Funny, I can't find any of those words you highlighted in the bible.
Funny, I can’t find the word BIBLE in the Bible
There is only two paths a man can take. I pray that you repent because purgatory does not exist.
Matthew 7:13-23 ESV "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. [14] For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. [15] "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? [17] So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. [18] A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. [21] "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' [23] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
What I do , I do out of love. Christ ordered us to go and spread the good news.
There are a billion catholics in this world who follow a doctrine demons instead of the Doctrine of Christ. I pray you wake up from your slumber.
Well, to be Fair.. Freemasons have infiltrated the Holy Church as well.. Taking over in the 60’s with Vatican 2.
You’re referring to the counterfeit church tho
Don't need all that research,the snake head building and the baphomet statue work for me.
And that’s the counterfeit church’s doing
No true scotsman, eh?
I myself am a Catholic rolls eyes, that monstrosity needs to be gone. If you’ve ever seen “The Keepers” on Netflix, about a murder of a nun and the cover up of it, they mention Bishop Malooley as being one of the priests covering up the murder at the time. I had alter served with him on multiple occasions, from 8-17, if I only knew. The Catholic Church always promotes the worst of the worst to higher positions, sad and pitiful.
You’re missing the point of this whole post. The Catholic Church isn’t what you even knew, you knew the counterfeit one, same as me. The communists created a Marxist counterfeit church in the last century by way of Vatican 2 council. This ape “church” has its own council, damning theology, sacraments, mass, rites, priests, popes, etc. Bergoglio is its leader. There is no pope. Sedevacante! This satanic “church” includes the sodomy, pedophilia, Lavender Mafia, etc. Pope St. Pius V condemned to DEATH any filthy rogue priests.
Seems to me you missed the point of me just saying a small snippet of what has happened in my life without going into extreme detail. Sorry for not including everything you already stated rolls yes again
Ok but seriously I agree and already knew all that, thanks for the post
You said: “I had alter served with him on multiple occasions, from 8-17, if I only knew. The Catholic Church always promotes the worst of the worst to higher positions, sad and pitiful.” ...and I said that wasn’t the Catholic Church and he wasn’t Catholic. He is a Marxist. He’s exactly what I’m talking about.
Ugh, apparently I needed to write an essay for you to be understanding. Sorry for not putting a ton of detail in my message and going the cliffnotes way.
Your details aren’t relevant to what this post is about. You’re equating the Marxist fake church to the Catholic Church; I’m simply saying we were both fooled, one is Catholic, the other is satanic.
Yes I am aware, thanks for clarifying and I do apologize if I came off as hostile earlier.
No worries! We all need to be in Florida 🌞
OK everybody here please calm down! They want us divided, remember? If we all claim to serve Jesus here then surely we can treat each other with respect? Love one another. Focus on Jesus, the one person you definitely CAN agree on!
We all have reasons to believe what we do. I went from evangelical to Anglican after reading a church history book. It really made me reconsider a lot of things. Before anyone judges the others’ salvation here at least try to understand where they’re coming from first? And for my fellow Protestants here, Maybe you could pick up a real history book by an actual historian (not a pastor with an ax to grind) before trying to convert the Catholics here? I’m seeing a lot of pseudohistory being espoused here, and that’s an instant turnoff for your Catholic friends.
Of course I’m probably going to get eaten by all sides here because nobody knows what to do with Anglicans since they don’t fit anywhere. 😋
My hell, do you people EVER tire from regurgitating the same. Old. Worn. Out. Tired. LIES?! Do you know it is a mortal and damning sin to engage in calumny, a sin against the eighth commandment? It is absolutely ridiculous to tell a person what he or she believes. If the truth matters to you, if you want to stop doing the work of Satan, read all of this. It will answer and refute everything you’ve ever been told about Holy Mother Church. If you refuse to read it, you’re perfectly content and happy to do Satan’s bidding. http://www.olrl.org/apologetics/cathansr.shtml
