    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    I would encourage you to read the letter to the Hebrews. Especially chapter 10. Catholics believe, as do Protestants that Jesus paid the price for our sins, and it is by His sacrifice that we are reconciled to God. We cannot work our way to heaven. At the moment we are born again in baptism...

    Why do some Catholic leaders seem irreligious? And what is the data on Catholic Priests and other leaders who lost faith during or after retiring?

    Our Lord said He would not judge the Pharisees. He said because they have the Scriptures and think they have eternal life in them, Moses will be their judge. The scriptures speak of Jesus and He was standing right in front of them, but they did not believe By analogy, the Old Testament spoke...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    That a fair question. We understand the answer by listening to Jesus words. He said in the parable of the wheat and the tares that there will be evil in His Church on Earth because Satan is going to put them there, in order to take the Church down. God does not authorize us to rip out the...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    You can forgive anyone for sins against you, but you do not have the authority to forgive others their sins against God. Priests have been given that authority by Christ I whole heartedly agree that we must repent. Mere words are lip service if not followed by action. The sacrament of...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    You need to review scripture, specifically the Gospel of John chapter 20 21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. 23 Whose sins you shall...

    Teilhard de Chardin’s Ideas Find Resonance Inside the Vatican 70 Years After His Death

    I don’t want to argue with you either. I am reviewing the facts. Peking man is not substantiated, but a man without expertise, by your own admission, has been conditioned to accept it without review. Do you find that strange?

    Why do some Catholic leaders seem irreligious? And what is the data on Catholic Priests and other leaders who lost faith during or after retiring?

    A valid concern, and noted My concern is even if they believe in the Real Presence, without valid orders, do they confect the Eucharist? I don’t think so, but as Jesus said in a similar situation, I won’t judge them. As they say they believe in Paul and Peter’s words, Paul and Peter will be...

    AI As Ouija Board & Familiar

    The greatest deception of a demon is to get one to believe he does not exist. It’s not evil, it’s just natural force, it’s science….not Their deception is slowly being revealed in the 21st century, but many will refuse to look It’s like the line from Jesus Christ Superstar (bad theology and...

    Teilhard de Chardin’s Ideas Find Resonance Inside the Vatican 70 Years After His Death

    Strange. As even the article you posted to me contains the obscure disclaimer regarding Homo Erectus Such a reading of the fossil record may be incorrect. In fact, there is very little evidence about the variability of features such as cranial thickness and external embellishments of the skull...

    Teilhard de Chardin’s Ideas Find Resonance Inside the Vatican 70 Years After His Death

    Have you checked the journal, Paleoanthropology 2021:1:85-97? It contains an analysis of the lack of authenticity of the bones of Peking man.

    AI As Ouija Board & Familiar

    The concept of parallel universes is a result of imagination to overcome the huge mathematical disadvantage of life coming from nothing to what we see today. It is a way of denying reality as illusion and disparaging God’s creation which He declared “very good” I see no necessity for parallel...

    Teilhard de Chardin’s Ideas Find Resonance Inside the Vatican 70 Years After His Death

    I believe that Peking man was found to be fake and Teilhard was complicit. I have to do more research His analysis of past science reeks of Cartesian materialism which denied miracles and sought to bring God down to the laws of His creation rather than creation being subject to God. Much of...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Communism is evil and there are tares amongst the wheat. I prefer the Catechism to commentary from those that claim to be Catholic but argue against it. We can discuss communism and how it relates to the Catholic Church in another thread if you wish

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Your reasoning sounds good to you as it is based on scripture, but it is flawed because it ignores other scriptures. Scripture has to be taken as a whole, as we are subject to the word of God, the word of God is not subject to human will. First, there is no denying that Jesus is the Rock, yet...

    Why do some Catholic leaders seem irreligious? And what is the data on Catholic Priests and other leaders who lost faith during or after retiring?

    I acknowledge all exceptions and simply note the truth. God sent Jesus into the world not to condemn it but save it. He also states in His word that the bruised reed He will not bend and the smoking flax He will not quench. He loves and desires to have mercy on all. I prefer to be in the...
