    Requesting prayers for my wife....

    Praise be to God, my grandmother had the same thing back in 1981. At the time, she had to have radium pellets placed in her for a time to make sure the cancer was gone. It worked well and she lived another 13 yrs and died of unrelated causes. I know how scary things can be. Very happy that...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. You bring up interesting points of discussion. Yes there is one mediator, Our Lord Jesus Christ, yet we are the body of Christ. Mary is part of the Body, the saints are part of the Body, believers are part of the Body. We are all one in Christ...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    We trust the Lord, but also believe scripture when it tells us to test the spirits to see whether they are from God. We do not rely solely on our emotions as Satan has the power to manipulate them. That is how he tempts. He makes sin look good and feel good. The Church gives us objective...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    So you don’t sin anymore. That is wonderful. What standard do you use to judge sin and that you are not in it? How has your conscience been formed, and do you contemplate an examination of conscience ?

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    We use scripture to discern why Jesus has taught us certain things. In Hebrews, the writer whom we believe to be Paul, gives us a very chilling statement. It should shake us to the core and fall on our knees before a Holy God. If it doesn’t, then the fear of God is not before our eyes. The...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    I understand how you feel, as I grew up the same way. The same feelings caused me to leave the Church and thinking I had found a true Biblical Church instead of Catholic. What I found was those who use the Bible to oppose the Catholic Church and their experiences of her, but no one ever says...

    Statue of Virgin Mary Beheaded in Texas.

    But God still loves them and desires for them to be saved. The spiritual battle would be to stop their evil deeds without wishing evil upon them. Yes that spiritual battle is intense, it caused Our Lord to sweat great drops of blood in the Garden. It is easy to condemn someone. It is harder...

    Sorry if you misunderstood. The statement was not meant to be taken literally. I said it to demonstrate the absurdity of taking such a position. I thought it was obviously absurd, but I should have been more clear My apologies

    Statue of Virgin Mary Beheaded in Texas.

    You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake. Says the Lord 11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: 12 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets...

    Requesting prayers for my wife....

    Prayers for your wife, Wolseley. Endometrial cancer is usually curable and has an 81% five year survival, but that doesn’t mean the treatment is not suffering. I pray that you both grow closer together and closer to God in this. May Our Lady pray for blessing and strength for you both

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    I don’t know why there are rectangles It’s not my doing and I don’t see them I have not appealed to anything. I inquired if the poster had read the points contained in them or is repeating what others have said There is no fault in reading what others have said, but we need to refer to...

    Thank you for your reply and your deep concerns for Christ and His Church. The Christian life is hard, it requires the continuing examination of self to make sure we are in submission to Christ and not requiring that Christ be in submission to us. Our Lord says in His scripture the bruised...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Kathleen, I believe that you are trying to love Jesus and I get it. You just can’t see what you are doing The false statement that you made of me was that I try to paint Catholic Church history as rosy and nice implying that I ignore evil done in her name. I don’t think you did it...

    Spanish Inquisiton

    Not exactly. She is infallible in doctrine and morals because of the promise of Christ to build His Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. That promise is passed on in Apostolic succession. It is the full faith and honor of the Holy Spirt which maintains infallibility, not...

    Yes, and those are people who have not obeyed God and denied themselves. They don’t want to follow God; they want God to be subject to them There are three things that can be arrived at by reason alone. They are there is a God, God is intelligent, and I am not God. The rest has to come from...

    It’s only called the enlightenment because it was started by the angel of light against God’s holy Church
