    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    I was raised Nazarene but I think I'm completely convinced at this point that I can't be Protestant. Now I just have to figure whether I should be Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. I really struggle, as many do, with the current corruption of the Church & the Papacy. I understand that it was the...

    The Pope kissed a notorious Islamist anti-Semite

    "The most important picture taken during the Pope's trip to the Arab Emirates was the Pontiff's close encounter with the imam of Al Azhar, Ahmed al Tayyeb. They kissed each other after signing a joint declaration which repudiated violence justified “in the name of religion”. Religion? I don't...

    Will there ever be an "Orthodox Pope of Rome"?

    I am surprised there wasn't any after the schism, especially when the Catholics tried to replace the Ecumenical Patriarch with the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople.

    Does the Pope have the authority to ordain "female priests"?

    *You are in the Catholic Forum*. I was arguing in a thread that there will never be a female priest in the Catholic Church; however; a Catholic user said that it is possible if a Pope dictates it and it didn't matter if Paul said otherwise but since the Pope had more authority than Paul then it...

    Is the Pope in "real trouble"? Or just a temporary downturn?

    It's Bad When the New York Times Defends the Pope

    I am of the opinion that the New York Times is opposed to almost everything contained within the orthodox teachings of the Church, so when that newspaper defends the Pope, I tend not to think that it's a good thing. It seems to me that in any other circumstance, they'd be castigating anyone...

    What did Jesus mean when He told Peter he was the rock he would build his church upon?

    Many claim that because Jesus said that to Peter, that Peter became the first pope and that proves the Roman Catholic Church is the only true Christian church. Thoughts?

    Was Apostle Peter ever the Bishop of Rome?

    What evidence is there to support that Apostle Peter had ever been the Bishop of Rome? In all letters Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, there was not a slight mention that Peter had ever been at Rome. Throughout the book of Acts, we can see that Peter traveled to different regions to...

    Peter: Thirty-Five Years as Bishop of Rome?

    According to the Vatican's official list of popes, Peter became Pope, or Bishop of Rome, in 32 AD and continued to hold that office until his death by martyrdom in 67 AD. By this reckoning, Peter held the title and office of Bishop of Rome for thirty-five years. According to other sources, Peter...

    Rev 12:15 Serpent

    Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. The verses of rev 12 deal with the antichrist and the false prophet in the end times. We know we're not dealing with a litteral serpent, as they dont spew...

    Are the Pope/Historic Councils inspired?

    Hey, so there was some discussion yesterday at my school (Westminster Theological Seminary) about whether or not Catholics actually believe that the 21 Ecumenical Councils and the Pope himself while in office is actually inspired, infallible, inerrant, etc. This guy at my school (himself being...

    Against the Church

    Saturday, November 19, 2016, 6:37 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “His Tender Mercies.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 8:1-8 (ESV). And Saul Approved (v. 1a) And Saul approved of his execution. Who was Saul? He was a Jew, a Pharisee, a student and expounder of...

    Daniel 7:25 "And he shall think to change times and laws"

    Here is a fulfillment of prophecy which is nothing new. The Protestant reformation taught this. Hereare catholic documents that prove that the catholic church did in fact change the sabbath to Sunday, which is the "times" spoken by Daniel. And from the vatican archive is the difference between...

    Pope Francis goes to confession

    Published on Mar 28, 2014 During a penitential service in St. Peter's Basilica March 28, Pope Francis went to confession. I believe that the Pope is thought to be Christ's representative on earth. I wouldn't have supposed the Pope would go to confession. I am not Catholic so I'll just say...

    It's official--the antichrist is not Obama!

    It's evidently the Pope.... It might be helpful to note, however, that DeLemus is also the person who teamed up with Orly Taitz and fought to keep Obama's name off the ballots because he was a "treasonous liar" who wasn't born in the United States. I always just assumed that Obama was the...

    The Pope calls the world to defy God!

    The Pope has, once again, declared his opposition to God’s will, and command, as clearly stated in Scripture. This is demonstrated in his present call for a worldwide abolition of death penalty. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pope-capitalpunishment-idUSKCN0VU0GH The Bible, which is God’s...
