  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And God can also PROTECT her from falling into sin just as easily!

but the Bible does not say so... I can see you are not interested in what the Bible teaches, only in some fairy tales by some "pope"!

What lies? It is the RCC that makes up their "theology" as it pleases them, when they cannot find any Scripture support. I see online that this "pope" is also giving way to the wickedness of homosexuality. Soon there will be a "decree" from him, or another one, to say that this evil sin is allowed!

Oh, forgive me. But where do you get your information about homosexuality? Jack Chick?

The Pope was stating that all homosexuals are people, too, and as a result, should not be met with condemnation, but with love, understanding, and prayer. To not do these things goes against Jesus command to love your neighbor as yourself.

you speak of errors among Protestants, which there are. You are not RC but you defend their "leader". If, as we have seen the "pope" is in error on Creation and homosexuality, then what of "papal infallibility"? No one else claims this for themselves!

Boy, you just hate the Catholics! Enough of this. When I am finished reading and answering your filth, I am going to put you on ignore!

I know that this page is long past the first of this thread, but Albion, I am not screaming denial and personal attacks. Read on, and you will find cogent and (without attacking anyone) real defense toward the lies told by anti-Catholics.

?? I didn't say that there was 'screaming,' but it's evident that almost nothing that could be considered explanatory had been given by the time I made that post...but that there had been plenty of foostomping and personal attacks.

stop trying to defend the ERRORS of the RCC! I suppose the heresy of "papal infallibility" will allow for Evolution to become the accepted way this universe began, and Creation by God will be outdated! Such wickedness in the church!

Just once, I would like to see a Protestant criticize what the Catholic Church DOES teach, instead of what she does not teach.

Albion, I have yet to begin stamping my foo[t]! Nor have I made a single personal attack. Instead, I have been calm and reasonable. It seems to be @TheBibleIsTruth that is jumping up and down because I do not lie down and let him trample me.

I am amazed at the real hate towards Catholic doctrine etc. Us Catholics don't hate protestants. We don't start threads trying to rip them apart. We don't go criticising their Leaders etc.

It's always abuse thrown towards a Catholics belief! Its always disbelief that Catholicism is entwined with scripture.

The protestants removed several books from the Bible. They were happy to go along with the Canon for several hundred years until Luther went mad and started to rewrite it!

All you have to do is read any thread dealing with a practice or doctrine that involves the Catholic Church, one way or the other, to see that you are wrong about this.

In fact, you don't have to do that much. Just read your own it post:

Read any thread with Catholic in the title and you will see many attacks against the church.

It was the one-sidedness of your assertion I was referring to. You claimed that Catholics do not do that to Protestants even as you were doing it yourself in that very same post.

We don't make up new threads to attack protestants.

Just once, I would like to see a Protestant criticize what the Catholic Church DOES teach, instead of what she does not teach.

This is what the RCC teach, which is NOT even in their bible!

"the great Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, who is the treasurer [sequestra] of our peace with God, and the mediatrix [administra] of graces...."

"He hear the prayers of those who beseech through her, whom He Himself willed to be the mediatrix [administram] of graces."

"nothing is imparted to us except through Mary, since God so wills, so that just as no one can come to the Father except through the Son, so in general, no one can come to Christ except through His Mother."

"it is dispensed from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, from the Virgin to us"

"Mother, that she who had been the minister [administra] of the mystery of human redemption, was equally the minister [administra] of the grace to be given from it for all time, practically immeasurable power being given to her"

"So may the most powerful Virgin Mother, who once 'cooperated in love that the faithful might be born in the Church', be even now the means and mediatrix of our salvation"

"Now from this common sharing of will and suffering between Christ and Mary, she 'merited to become most worthily the Reparatrix of the lost world"

" the fact that she was with Him crucified and dying, was in accord with the divine plan. For with her suffering and dying Son, Mary endured suffering and almost death... ... further, there is a most constant belief among the faithful, proved by long experience, that as many as employ the same Virgin as Patron, will not at all perish forever. "

" She, the Virgin Mother, [is] the treasurer [sequestra] of all graces with God"

" we know also that all things are imparted to us from God the Greatest and Best, through the hands of the Mother of God"

" ... having been associated, as Mother and Minister, with the King of martyrs in the ineffable work of human Redemption, she is always associated, with a practically measureless power, in the distribution of the graces that derive from the Redemption.... And her kingdom is as vast as that of her Son and God, since nothing is excluded from her dominion"

" Mother, there may be opened to them, all the treasures of the divine Redemption, and so they may have life, and have it more abundantly. Did not the Lord will that we have everything through Mary?"

these are BLASPHEMIES!

No they are not. Only to you.

Mary is the Mother of God. The Son of God. Our Heavenly Mother. We can pray to Her for Her intercession. I love Her dearly.

I am sure that Jesus would want everyone to love and venerate His Mother.

I know you will never agree. That's your choice.

Blessings to you
