Catholic Bashing Threads/Posts

My opinion?

This is sometimes the case. I am not the only person here who has criticized Catholicism without getting nasty about Catholic people.

As for the others, I am going to be bold. I think sometimes, some truly are unable to make a distinction between attacking religious tenets and attacking the people holding them. For others, I think their hatred of Catholics exceeds their willingness to follow Christ's standards on how to treat people.

By the way, ignoring a site administrator's directive is a bad idea if you plan to be posting here long term.

 

DHK and I Am Blessed 17 have both been in the Catholic Church for many years. They have shown many of the lies taught in the Catholic Church. And yet you still insist on leading others astray by proselitizing them into the RCIA taught in the Catholic Church.

 

Godlywoman,

Will you answer my questions from this thread?

Godly Woman:

I was in the RCC for 30 years and went to mass every morning. Please don't tell me I don't know Catholic doctrine and what they teach!

You seem to be ignoring me, but answering everyone else. Why?

This is the fourth and last time I'm going to ask you what faith you are (besides Christian) and what church you attend...your profile tells me nothing.

I have asked you three times on this thread and I sent you a PM (which you chose to ignore).

Had you responded to my PM, I would not have had to post this on the forum.

If you would like the benefit of continued posting, I suggest very strongly that my questions be answered.

Thank you,
The Administrative Council

 

I don't need to be catechized, I am saved. The catechism is just another ism that is not Biblical at all.

You say DHK was not in the Catholic Church long enough? that is a laugh. He was in that religion for 20 years.

I suggest you start reading the Word of God, praying to Him alone, and seeking His will.

 

Using your logic, GW, since Sue had been in the Catholic Church for 30 years and hasn't been there long enough to know what they teach.... you, being only 30 years old are not wise enough to know they are teaching lies.

 

What is your point in being here then?

 

Are you Baptist or Catholic and where do you attend church?

Simple questions. You either know what you are or you do not. If you are ashamed to tell your faith, you're in the wrong church.

If you are not attending any church, I doubt that you are 'growing spiritually'...

 

Just jumping in here late...

Using godlywomans theory, then we should all be able to embrace satanism and wiccan, too. Hey, I've never been one, so I can't say anything about what they believe either.
:tonofbricks:

OK, guess I will join the catholic church, become properly catecismized and then I will really KNOW they are wrong.

:BangHead:

And while I'm at it, stop in with the muslims and hindus, too. Might as well cover all the bases ..........

NOT!

 

I attended several livestock auctions back in the 80's, does that mean I am a dairy farmer?

 

Her profile says she has no home church at the moment.

I identify as "Christian only" but my home congregation is a Disciples of Christ congregation. Midway through our services, I go over to our neighboring Baptist congregation and work in children's worship, and come back afterward. In the evenings, I visit a Church of Christ a few miles from me. I would be more likely to visit/frequent these types of congregations than, say, a Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Catholic, or Orthodox congregation. Even identifying as a Christian only, there are types of congregations I am more likely to frequent than others.

Maybe she could tell us at least what church congregations she has visited recently? What type/s she is inclined to visit?

 

I am with you on this.

You do not need to go through RCIA to understand Catholicism to some extent.

I have read Catholic authors, looked over official documents from the Vatican, worked fairly extensively in two Catholic schools, and talked with Catholics who practice their faith.

In my opinion, doing these things TO LEARN ACCURATELY about Catholics and what they really believe and practice is enough to get a decent acquaintance with Catholicism.

Many people do not take the trouble to do any of these things before they go `hog wild' taking shots at Catholicism and Catholics -- often without any regard for whether or not the things they are saying about them have any basis in reality.

I am with GodlyWoman that those set upon proactively opposing Catholicism should take the trouble to educate themselves before they do so. I am with you that the extreme of going through RCIA is not necessary.

I think that a marginally educated opposition to Catholicism should be adequate to address its errors. Emotionally-charged falsehoods are not needed.

 

One need not go to classes to know Catholicism is a heretical doctrine. There is enough on the news and on websites to show Catholics pray to their ancestors, to saints and to Mary in their efforts to enter heaven.... all heretical doctrines not found in the Word of God.

The idolatry of praying to Mary and others is enough of a lie to steer anyone who is truly wanting to please the Lord away from the Catholic Church

All this idol worship can be seen just turning your television on the EWTN channel. No, one need not attend classes. One needs to mark them and avoid them who teach contrary to the doctine handed down by the Apostles.

 

Godly Woman,

I was born and raised in the Catholic Church. I was properly catechised and taught by the priests and nuns who taught us during the 8 years I went to Catholic grade school and CCD classes.

After I was born again at the age of 25, I began feeding on Gods scriptures with "eyes that see" for the 1st time.

I fled the Catholic Church like the plague, due to the complete contradiction between the truth found in the scriptures, and the distortions, myths, fables, traditions and idolatrous falsehoods found in the Catholic Church.

I implore you...I PLEAD with you...out of love for you, to heed Gods scriptures and seek a biblical and God honoring evangelical fellowship where you can "grow in the grace and knowledge" of God.

God bless,

Mike

 

I think we stop or draw the line on those who are not Christians. Instead of labeling people according to groups, how about what they are as individuals.

Same idea holds with Baptists in hell and Catholics in heaven. Its what each person's status is before God because of Jesus Christ.
