🤢 These people are sick! 🤮
Catholic here. We've got a 'compromised leader' at the top. Pope Pachamama is similar to "President Biden" that way. It's disgusting, but that's the situation.
As another practicing Catholic, I agree. They have taken over the top of the hierarchy as they have in many other domains. Those of us faithful Catholics at the bottom and many other priests and laity do not always agree with their bishops and the pope.
Christian here, Catholicism has nothing to do with us.
What? Catholics are Christians. To say “us” is disingenuous as Catholic means universal, it is the original Christian Church dating back to 106AD. If you don’t agree with the Catholic faith it’s understandable, but the Catholic Church is what brought Christianity to the modern world
Universal means for everybody, as in including everybody, that's what Universal means. The Church of Jesus Christ is not universal. The Church of Jesus Christ is a remnant, a tiny remnant of people in the world who are born of the word of God and have obeyed his gospel. The difference between Christians and Catholics is day and night.
Exactly, Catholic is the Greek word for Universal that is the name for the early Church from St. Ignatius of Antioch. The very practices and traditional found back then are found today. Christ came here for every human being, to forgive every person in hopes everyone would repent and join our Lord in heaven. The Catholic Church, meant for everyone is the path, through Jesus Christ. It’s a hospital for sinners.
To say Catholics and Christians are different is like saying Humans and Americans are different. All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholic, but rather Protestant Christians. It wasn’t until the 1500’s that Christianity began breaking into thousands of different Protestant denominations. You’re meaning to tell me Jesus got it all wrong for 1500 years and it was all false up until 500 years ago? I understand if you don’t believe in Catholicism Christianity, but there is no distinction.
You're right in that Catholics and Protestants are all part of the same family, but that family is separated from the Lord Jesus Christ. They worship different god(s) and their practices go against the one true God, the father of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Catholics are basically just pagans.
Catholic brothers, Bishop Strickland is a good and Holy Bishop.
But he is NOT getting targeted by the Vatican for defending the unborn or participating in the Dodgers Protests and the like. That is the dishonest media’s take to incite more drama and outrage.
He is being investigated because he publicly declared on Twitter that Francis is systematically (that he has a certain “program”) undermining the Deposit of Faith. That is unacceptable, and he crossed a line.
This explains it well: https://youtube.com/shorts/iCA3cpXTBuo?feature=share
Catholic here. Don't forget about Piglosi either. I would love to be a fly on the wall when all the evil in office meet face to face the Good Lord and try to explain their way into heaven. I feel there will be only a couple that would fall to their knees and truly feel sorrow for what they have done here on earth.
I think you're not understanding the story!
That was after the birth of Christ.
I know a ton of great Catholics just like a know a ton of great American's. It's not anti American to say it's leadership is controlled by satanist It is not anti Catholic to say that the churches leadership is controlled by satanist. The Vatican Audience Hall is an image of a serpent with fangs. Also has a statue of Jesus with 1/2 of a face coming out of Hell.
Look up Vatican Audience Hall. https://www.google.com/search?q=vatican+audience+hall+images
Who do you think "Babylon the Great. mother of harlots" is? Looking at the history of the church, the Catholic church followed the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles until the Roman's took over and it became the Roman Catholic church. Constantine made himself Emperor and the first Pope----Vicar of Christ----in the place of Christ. Every church since then has come out of the Roman Catholic Church---all the daughters of the Harlot. I am a Catholic, just not a Roman Catholic. Jus sayin.
My friend, when Jesus told St. Peter he would be the rock upon which He would build His Church, that is the Catholic Church. Peter was the first Pope, in which he was handed the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Peter subsequently went to Rome and was crucified upside down, hence the inverted cross.
The Roman Empire fell, the Church built right on top of it. The very same empire Pontus Pilate attempted to “wash” his hands of while handing Jesus over to be crucified. Without the Catholic Church, there’s be no bible, no Christianity brought to the world. Jesus promised the gates of hell shall never overcome His church. It’s stood for 2000 years and will continue to stand
My friend, Jesus was the ROCK that the church was built on. Peter--Petros---means pebble. Jesus has and will always be the Rock the church was built on. As far as Peter being the first Pope--Vicar of Christ which means "in place of"--would NEVER had anyone bow down to him. You are speaking on Roman Catholic tradition. Jesus did away with any "priesthood" making God available to all men. Jesus in His letters to the churches condemned the practice of the Nicolaitans ---Nico means to rule over and Laity is the brothers in the church. The FIRST Catholic church had no Pope--Papa--a person that stood in the place of Jesus and you certainly didn't ask a priest for forgiveness of sins like a man can forgive sins. Romanisn brought in all kinds false doctrines. I believe the Bible as the ONLY word of God and not any other book.
Jesus clearly stated that Peter was the rock and foundation. His name was previously Simon.
The first Catholic Church did in fact recognize St Peter as the first pope. Always has.
The sacrament of confession and the Holy Eucharist have been there since the beginning. Scripture couldn’t be more explicit and clear. How could Jesus have told His apostles “what sins you forgive are forgiven them and what sins you retain are retained” and not institute confession? Clearly the apostles had the authority to absolve sins. how could they absolve sins if no one ever confessed sins to be forgiven?
Furthermore, Jesus clearly knew the apostles wouldn’t live on earth forever, what sense would it make that only apostles had the authority to absolve sins and future generations wouldn’t have apostolic succession to receive these gifts?
Jesus is the high priest, and was abundantly clear that priests would perform transubstantiation. The early church fathers all attested to this.
Uh Huh-----Jesus say WHO do the people say that I AM, and they answered that some say a prophet and some say John the Baptist ect--- then Jesus said WHO do YOU say the I AM----(who is Jesus talking about/ HIMSELF) and Peter said, you are the Messaih, the Son of God. Jesus said that only the Father revealed that to him and he changed his name to PETROS---meaning pebble---and He said Peter, upon THIS ROCK---WHO have they been talking about? NOT PETER----I will build my church. Jesus is the Rock--He has always been described as the Rock i the entire Bible. You believe your Catholic Bible and keep bowing to the Pope. Let me know how that works out for you, As for me, the last 2 verses in the Bible will be my guide as to which books to put my faith in.
I like how you stated that!
I need to read up on what the Catholic Church was like before the Romans..
"The Church" went the direction of the Protestant Reformation.
https://carm.org/roman-catholicism/what-is-the-difference-between-protestantism-and-catholicism/
The devil is running any institution that has a man above the authority of God's Word.
I digress, Satan could never defeat God. His best tactic was to divide and conquer. All Christianity was under the Catholic Church up until year 1500. From one to literally over 40,000 different Protestant denominations. All of which claim to possess the truth. But they cannot all be true, all at the same time.
There is only one Church which contains the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. We aren’t meant to be divided like we are today, which directly reflects on the great awakening Q movement. Everything happening in the political world is dividing people. We are One Body. Where we go one, we go all
whoosh
Who said Satan defeated God? False dichotomy.
As for your other claim... LOL!
No, all of Christianity was not under the Catholic Church until the year 1500. The Catholic Church was one of the major branches of Christianity and held significant influence during the medieval period, but there were other Christian denominations and groups that existed alongside it.
Prior to the year 1054, there was a split between the Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East, known as the Great Schism. The Eastern Orthodox Church became a separate branch of Christianity with its own traditions, practices, and leadership centered in Constantinople (now Istanbul).
In addition to the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, there were also various other Christian groups that emerged throughout history. Some of these groups were considered heretical by the Catholic Church and faced persecution, while others formed separate churches or denominations. Examples include the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and various Protestant movements that emerged during the Reformation in the 16th century.
The Reformation, which began in the early 16th century, led to significant changes within Christianity. Reformers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others challenged the authority and practices of the Catholic Church and established new Protestant denominations. This further diversified Christianity, leading to the coexistence of multiple Christian traditions.
Therefore, it is not accurate to say that all of Christianity was under the Catholic Church until the year 1500. There were other branches of Christianity, including the Eastern Orthodox Church, as well as various independent Christian groups and emerging Protestant movements.
Out as far as the retarded claim that there's over 40,000 Crofton denominations.... LOL another typical Catholic apologetic lie.
First off many Protestant denominations as you call them are virtually identical with minor minor differences like different types of worship music, and different views on small non-salmifications like infant baptism and integrated family worship. This is nothing compared to the chasm between Catholic and Protestant beliefs.
It is difficult to provide an exact number of Protestant denominations because there is no central authority or comprehensive list that encompasses all of them. The Protestant movement is known for its diversity and the presence of numerous denominations, each with its own practices, and organizational structures.
The World Christian Encyclopedia, which was last published in 2001, estimated that there were over 33,000 distinct denominations within global Christianity, including both Protestant and non-Protestant groups. However, it's important to note that this number includes a wide range of denominational categories and subgroups, some of which may be very small or localized.
While it is challenging to give an exact number, it is generally understood that there are several major Protestant denominations, such as Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Anglican, Pentecostal, and many others, each with their own subgroups and variations. Guess what? They all share the same core beliefs. ....
Justification by faith alone: This is a central doctrine of Protestantism, emphasizing that individuals are justified and made right with God by faith alone, apart from any human works or efforts. It teaches that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ.
Authority of Scripture: Protestants emphasize the authority and sufficiency of the Bible as the Word of God. They believe that Scripture is the primary source of divine revelation and the final authority in matters of faith and practice.
Priesthood of all believers: Protestants emphasize the priesthood of all believers, affirming that all believers have direct access to God and are called to serve as priests to intercede for others and offer spiritual sacrifices. This contrasts with the Catholic understanding of a distinct ministerial priesthood.
Substitutionary atonement: Protestants generally believe in the substitutionary atonement of Christ, which teaches that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, bearing the penalty of sin and reconciling humanity to God.
Personal relationship with Christ: Protestants emphasize the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as the means of salvation. They believe in the need for individuals to personally trust in and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Baptism and the Lord's Supper: While there can be variations among denominations, most Protestants recognize the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper (also known as Communion or the Eucharist) as important expressions of faith. The significance and practices related to these sacraments can differ among denominations.
Catholicism on the other hand..... Shares each other's mistakes and mandates them from the top down.
Protestant here. I am not bashing Catholics. We are all on the same team. In Texas, most all of my friends are Catholic.
But y’all know you can skip the middle man, right?
Getting investigated should be a badge of honor for that brave man.
See my comment above about the investigation. On that note, yes we are on the same team as you are my brother in Christ. Come home to the Catholic Church, it is the first and original withstanding for 2000 years. You will never get the Eucharist anywhere else
I’ve actually met Strickland on several occasions and I can tell you he’s usually smiling and is reserved in his everyday life. I’ve been watching him since he started making his meteoric rise within the Conservative wing of the Catholic Church. When this first started happening I found it odd that a Bishop stationed in East Texas was being allowed to rise as he was, but, then again I wasn’t an Anon at that time.
I’m sure I’ll be around him again at some point and if the opportunity arises I’d like to ask him a few questions 🤔
This is why i don’t understand people on these boards who staunchly support the church and bible…. Christ never wanted to be idolized or treated as a god… he wanted his message of love and kindness to spread. It was man who corrupted that message. Man who canonized christ in order to control others. It was man who wrote the bible, to be used as a tool to control others, and it is man who have corrupted the church and religion to be the satanic pedo cesspool it is today… you can believe in christ , follow his ways, and spread the way to others without any of the aforementioned…
You are writing like someone who has never studied or read the bible.
You claim that the bible is not inspired by God. Is that claim based on your studies or is it based on what other people say about the bible?
You make this statement as if this was His message...Christ never wanted to be idolized or treated as a god… he wanted his message of love and kindness to spread.
Yet Jesus said, whoever follows me will be persecuted even to death. Do you know people that are being persecuted for being kind or loving to others?
You are called to follow Him. You are not called to follow a church.
No matter the obstacles that are put in your way God has promised that none of them will be too strong for you to overcome if you would just simply trust Him.
From what you have written one of your obstacles is your perception of the way others are walking or not walking with Him. That is hindering you from even looking to God.
I can say this to you because in the past that was me.
If this comes across as a little harsh please understand I am really talking to the old me. That person was lost and a little bitter.
Like I said you have been called to follow Him. Forget about what a church or anybody else says or doesn't say. That has nothing to do with you seeking HIm.
He offers himself to you freely. Just know this up front. What He offers is free but it will cost you everything.
This might not mean anything to you right now but sometime in the future you may remember this.
It is sort of like the Great Awakening. We have been given a gift. We know how this plays out in the end. Can we prove it without question to someone that is not Awakened? No we can't because they do not have eyes to see or ears to hear.
The gospel is exactly the same.
The gospel is free but it is not cheap. If you follow Him your old life will be destroyed. Everything will be made new. When you are ready just seek Him and He will be found.
Similar to the Great Awakening---Now that we know the truth we are "dead" to the old way of thinking. In a sense we have been made new.
You do that and you will have an amazing life. Screw religion, that stuff is worthless. At the same time seek others that are also seeking Him.
There is nothing wrong with going to a church. There is EVERYTHING wrong with replacing walking with God with church.
Amen!
Read the bible many times , grew up Roman Catholic, alter boy from 4th-8th grade… attended convent school to become a priest from 9th and 10th grade…. Decided it wasn't for me …. Still believe in christ… just know those who put their faith in man(book) vs christ is in danger of being misguided…
I am not sure what you mean by putting our faith in a book. Maybe you are saying that you believe that the Bible is not nor ever has been inspired by God. If that is the case I guess we would have to agree to disagree. The bible shows over and over again mans rebellion against God. It also shows over and over that God forgives . It is a repeating cycle.
The entire biblical story points to a redeemer.
Of course people have twisted the bible for their own ends. Others have twisted the bible by not understanding how the people at the time of the writing understood things.
Let's say today someone wrote something inspired about massive rain. That person wrote "it was raining cats and dogs".
Of course we would know what that means. 1000 years from now people would think that it really did rain cats and dogs.

Then as a Catholic you should very well know that Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the magisterium is what we follow. It was never Bible alone. In fact, tradition and traditional mass was what preceded the Bible.
I really have not seen staunch support of the church here. Hopefully most of us know that the bible is a translation (room for error) and that many parts of the bible been removed and hidden from the people. However, you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater here, imo. The bible has profound instruction about our walk to become Christ-like. Our nation was founded on Christian principles. Therefore we should expect that people would embrace their core faith more profoundly in these challenging times. Reading parts of the Book of Revelation can be hair raising, eye opening and comforting all at the same time. What it tells most of us is that God has not forsaken us.
I agree religion has been for the most part corrupted and used as an instrument of control. People are taught to believe that Jesus is the only son of God. Yet He is quoted to say that we who follow him shall do greater works. Why would God make only one son? Aren't we all made in His imagine? Yet, there is only one Christ way and we are all welcome to walk that path.
I actually agree with this in many ways.
I’m a member of a nondenominational church and I always find it odd that most who attend nondenominational churches worship Jesus before God. Man,,,, was that a loaded statement!
When Jesus was asked “how do I pray?”, He stated “pray to your Father who is unseen”. Obviously, since Jesus was standing right there He wasn’t referring to Himself, but to God who is Heaven.
If interpreted correctly the Bible does say that Jesus said “I and the Father are one”. Yet, He never said He was God and early Christians didn’t say that either.
lol.
Jesus claimed to be God. In the Gospels, Jesus made several statements and took actions that indicated his divinity. While he did not explicitly say the words, "I am God," he made claims and used titles that were understood to be equating himself with God. Jesus saying "I AM" was Him saying He was God however. Jesus claimed to be God was by using the phrase "I AM," which is associated with God's self-identification in the Old Testament. In the Gospel of John, Jesus made several statements using "I AM" to assert his divinity.
For example, in John 8:58, Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am." Here, he used the present tense "I am" to refer to his eternal existence, identifying himself with the same name that God used when speaking to Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3:14. By using this phrase, Jesus implied his timeless and divine nature.
Furthermore, in John's Gospel, Jesus used several metaphors with "I AM" to describe himself, emphasizing his divine identity. He said, "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12), "I am the door" (John 10:9), "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:11), "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25), "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), and "I am the true vine" (John 15:1). These statements convey Jesus' divine attributes and his central role in providing spiritual sustenance, guidance, and salvation.
By using the "I AM" statements and making these claims, Jesus equated himself with God, asserting his divinity.
One significant instance is found in the Gospel of John, where Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). This statement echoes the name of God revealed to Moses in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14) and suggests Jesus' eternal nature and divine existence. Additionally, Jesus referred to himself as the Son of God, which was understood as a claim to deity in the Jewish context of his time.
Furthermore, Jesus forgave sins, which was seen as an exclusive prerogative of God. In Mark 2:5-7, when Jesus forgave a paralyzed man's sins, the religious leaders accused him of blasphemy, as they recognized that only God had the authority to forgive sins.
Moreover, Jesus accepted worship from his disciples and others, which was reserved for God alone. In multiple instances, such as after his resurrection, people worshiped Jesus without him rebuking them or correcting their actions (e.g., Matthew 28:9, John 20:28).
These claims and actions, among others, led his followers to recognize and worship him as the divine Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity in Christian theology.
I could go alot deeper with many more examples but this is sufficient to prove you're wrong.
All early creeds and confessions of the church affirmed this historically. Your position is a classic form of heresy. The primary heresy that denies the divinity of Jesus is known as Arianism. Arianism is named after Arius, a Christian presbyter from Alexandria in the fourth century. Arius taught that Jesus, although a highly exalted being, was not fully God but rather a created being. According to Arianism, Jesus was the first and greatest of God's creations and was subordinate to the Father.
Arius' teachings gained significant attention and caused a major controversy within early Christianity. The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD was convened to address the issue, and it condemned Arianism as a heresy. The council formulated the Nicene Creed, which clearly affirms the full divinity of Jesus Christ, stating that Jesus is "begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father."
The rejection of Jesus' divinity is not limited to Arianism alone. Other heretical movements and groups throughout history, such as Socinianism and Jehovah's Witnesses, have also denied the full divinity of Jesus Christ, offering alternative understandings of his nature and role.
Orthodox Christian belief, as expressed in mainstream Christian denominations such as Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and most Protestant traditions, affirms the divinity of Jesus Christ and considers the denial of his divinity as heretical.
You need to repent. If you believe in a Jesus that is not God then you believe in a different Jesus. A Jesus that cannot save you.
Jesus did say that, but way before that (Exodus 3:14) God claimed that titled when He told Moses ..
Yeah, both are God. That's the point. No one but God uses that title.
God the Father & Jesus, God the Son
Notice Moses, unlike Jesus, didn't say he (Moses) was "I AM"?
HUGE category difference. Come on, you're better than that aren't you? That was either wildly inconsistent or intellectual dishonesty. Either way, not a good look.
Now address everything else because I took the time to slaughter your heretical position and false claims about the early church. I did this so you can be without excuse and hopefully repent or you WILL go to hell my friend. I don't want that and you certainly don't.
This isn't about being right or wrong, it's about alighting with scripture. Set aside your pride. You know you have no real argument at this point.
What I’m saying is Jesus was referring to God, not Him when He said “I Am”.
But he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!” Revelations 22:9
Okay first you've clearly shown how ignorant you are as well as dishonest with that response.
There's no book of Revelations in the Bible. It's the book of Revelation. Singular not plural.
In Revelation 22:9, an angel (NOT Jesus) instructs John not to worship him (The Angel) as he is a fellow servant of God with John and his brothers in Christ, the prophets, and all who obey the words of Revelation. Instead, the angel implored John to worship God instead.
Secondly Jesus repeats the phrase "I am" seven times. The Koine Greek term Ego eimi (Greek Ἐγώ εἰμί, pronounced [eɣó imí]), literally I am or It is I, is an emphatic form of the copulative verb εἰμι that is recorded in the Gospels to have been spoken by Jesus on several occasions to refer to himself not with the role of a verb but playing the role of a name. It is connected to the passage in Exodus 3:14 in which God gives his name as אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh), translated most basically as "I am that I am"
You literally can't use that word in the Hebrew or Greek in the way that you've claimed Jesus used it in.
I don't know what box of cracker jacks you got your theology from but it's definitely not the Bible since you're making up books that don't even exist.
If you believe Jesus is not God then you are not saved. If you have been taught this you've been misled and you don't conform to any type of traditional Christianity. You're most likely in a false Church. (Virtually every cult denies the divinity of Christ since that is a salvific issue. Just what the devil needs you deny to damn you to hell)
One last thought.
You mentioned me denying Jesus’ divinity.
I’m curious if you’ve ever looked at the definition of divine/divinity?
Divine: adjective 1. of, from, or like God or a god.
By the way, I didn’t chose to put a lower case “g” in that definition. That is how it’s defined.
Have a good day, fren!
And you’re showing your ass to everyone who will look.
Let me be real clear what I believe.
I believe Jesus is the Son of God. I believe one must accept that Jesus was a man, the Son of God and died on the Cross so that those who accepted Him could have eternal Salvation. I believe at anytime Jesus could have stopped all the madness and put everyone in their rightful place but instead He chose to endure so that we could live under Grace and receive Salvation if we so choose.
I don’t believe we are suppose to pray to anyone other than God The Father and that is why Jesus showed us how to Pray.
“To me” what we are debating over is a speculative at best and I hold umbrage towards the idea that Christians should be praying to Jesus, or even that it’s ok to pray to Jesus when He “”clearly”” stated differently.
I agree, and the way i interpreted what you said… jesus said I and the father are one… but he was implying that we are all one with the father…. We are god as god is within us all….
