Can you stop with the lies about traditional Christianity?

[Not David]

Seriously:

• This Constantine was the Pope/Bishop/Emperor (oh wait, the last one is correct).
• Muh Pagan Catholicism (seriously, unless you are Jewish, all your culture was originally pagan)
• False accusations of idolatry or blasphemy about the Mother of God being a "goddess"
• Etc, etc.

Liars are going to lie. Even when presented with the truth.

Probably but I feel it is better to call out that instead of just allowing it over and over.

You won’t stop it here. Sorry. People cling to untruths while refusing to learn about the brethren they are slandering with gleeful abandon. The latest anti-Catholic thread is featured after all.

But if Constantine wasn't the first Pope, who was?

I'm an optimist so I hope at least one person will learn something.

Yup. Featured in good old Christian Forums. Shameful.

That thread should be an embarrassment to most of the posters if they only knew a bit more about history or the Bible or about the Catholic Church they hate so much. But they don't for the most part even know what they don't know.

They do not want to know in most cases. The fabrications are more fun. Generates more clicks as well.

They will always make false accusations because they will not try to find out what Traditional Christians believe and in some cases only care if they are right. Many parrot Pastors that have no idea what they are talking about

It just makes me sad more than anything else.

Right fighting despite the facts is never a good look.

I think it's the Dunning-Kruger effect at full speed.

We should keep posting. Maybe it will get “Featured.”

I do believe by far the dissemination of false RC doctrines are the most frequently posted reply’s on the forums but there are a couple of Catholics that are guilty of it too.

I’d think once they’d learn the truth of either one they’d quit making themselves look ridiculous. I mean they don’t have to agree with another’s perspective within it’s true setting but why perpetuate misinformation?

Fat chance. But if it did it would only draw the worst sorts of comments anyway.

Catholics should be careful. The kind of Knownothingism does not become a Catholic. It doesn't become a Protestant either, but saying so only beings out more of it.

I find that even posting directly from Catholic sites, the Catechism, anything where you are hearing it from the ‘horse’s mouth’ is ignored. They’d rather you fight with them as they flat out reject what you just served them on a silver platter. I refuse to debate these things because it’s pointless. If they are going to reject what you deliver to them from official Church teachings, refuse to even look at it to save their narrative, I see no point in it. It’s one thing to reason together, quite another to throw out one lie after another while ignoring the truth. That shows the intent right there and I refuse to be a part of it. I’m not gifted in that area anyway and being on a phone to participate here does not make it easier. I’d rather not feed into it when all they come back with is “nuh uh deluded Catholic pagan.”

Jesus said something about pigs and pearls I won't even repeat here for fear of being judged hostile.
