After reading this article and the comments, we must stop referring to catholics who promote abortions as devout catholics. Sure, as an infant they may have been baptized into the faith but I wonder how much religious education they had. To be a DEVOUT catholic you have to follow the church laws. If you occasionally slip and sin, there is the sacrament of confession. But if you are defiant, in essence you have left the church. I would say they ABANDONED the faith. People like this should be referred to as FORMER catholics.

They're practicing true Catholicism. Its what it's always been.
Exactly.
Catholicism is the reason the Puritans left Europe to begin with. Catholicism was originally banned in some of the colonies....because it is a destructive anti-Christian virus devoted to world domination for Lucifer.
True believers of Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit have nothing to fear, however these people are not true believers. God requires one thing, just one thing. Although we may sin he wants us to live a good and honest life but even the best slip. Most people in these positions have sold their souls. They hold no true faith at all. You can say anything but God knows what lays on your heart. With that being said, the one thing he requires above all else, "Do Not Deny Me". It is the one thing the devil can't beat and the reason God will win.
No, the one line the devil can't step to is the cross. God requires obedience, enabled by His grace (favor and power).
Its far more than acknowledgment, form, posture, going to church, etc. Unfortunately, most have denied the requirement of the law and use grace as a "get out of jail free" card. It doesn't really work that way and those who insist it does are in for a bad time.
Where did you learn this stuff? Simply curious.
Saw this yesterday never seen before if anyone interested or have watched it
Amazing video.

Why ? The pope speaks from the mouth of the Serpent. If a catholic can’t see and admit it they are lost anyway. In case you don’t know look up pictures of Audience Hall. The building doesn’t even share any architecture with the area. It is so obvious Ray Charles can see it.
Murdering babies and homosexual behavior are not accepted tenets of Catholicism.
Based on the very words out of their mouths, they have excommunicated themselves thereby they are not Catholics, not to mention "devout".
Anyone who defends Catholicism at this point can get what the Bolsheviks get.
Have they not redefined that word yet? They will
How about "Fringe Catholics"?
(Akin to "the lunatic fringe")
Pretend Catholics
Apostates.
Sure, as an infant they may have been baptized into the faith
You may as well baptize them with Gatorade. You have to hear of and believe in Jesus Christ to be saved. Infants are not capable of this.
To be a DEVOUT catholic you have to follow the church laws.
Now this I agree with. To be a devout Christian, all you have to do is believe on Jesus Christ. You belong to Him not a church.
If you occasionally slip and sin, there is the sacrament of confession.
If you have not confessed of your mouth of Jesus Christ and his blood atonement, you have never been "forgiven" for your sins. You individually are never forgiven, your sins are hidden within the body of Christ. You are an adopted son of God, in Jesus Christ.
Well said truth , TY and God Bless you Fren , Praise Jesus for evermore !
