  • 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.

Catholic Teachings.... Backed by Scripture??

If Christ founded only one Church (and he did), then it's universal. Catholic is Greek for universal, so you'd be wrong.
I didn't say the Church was founded by Constantine, your fellow anti-Catholics do, though. I know when my Church was instituted, and when it started. It was spoken into existence by Jesus at Caesarea Philippi, and blessed by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Wouldn't it be great if that theory were actual history and those things really had happened?

If it's a theory that Christ instituted one Church, then Christianity is a myth. If those things didn't happen, that the Church came to life at Pentecost, then it's a fraud. Is that what you're trying to say?
