No: Peter just wasn't the first of the fish-hat-wearing boy-touchers. If Jesus chose Peter to be the first pope, then why did both Jesus and Paul have to rebuke him:

Mark 8:33: But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Gal 2:11. But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

Did you just call an Apostle a Boy-Toucher?????

What you don't seem to understand is that Popes ARE NOT infallible 24/7. They can be corrected and rebuked without destroying their ability to lead the church.

This group portrays themselves as prejudiced, because you insist that all Popes are "Boy Touchers" and "the Anti-Christ" not ALL popes are working for Satan.
I am not working for Satan just because I have read Deutro-Canonical texts. The Apocrypha is only used to argue belief in Purgatory (and a little on the existence of heaven). It does not have a huge effect on the whole belief system of the Church or Jesus' message.

I need you to explain to me how you know that all Popes are the Anti-Christ. The word Anti-Christ isn't even in the bible. That is just ignorant.

Yes, it is extremely ignorant, and it exposes you for the fool and liar that you are.

Are you even remotely familiar with the Holy Bible?

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Do you have an issue with reading comprehension? I said that Peter was not the first of the fish-hat-wearing boy-touchers.

This group portrays themselves as prejudiced, because you insist that all Popes are "Boy Touchers" and "the Anti-Christ" not ALL popes are working for Satan.

So you admit that at least some of them did.

Yes, it is extremely ignorant, and it exposes you for the fool and liar that you are.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Thank you, Pastor. The Romanists deny Christ by worshiping a "Co-Redemptrix" goddess based very loosely on Mary the mother of Jesus.

Dad is that really you? Mom told me I might be able to find you here.

Why don't you love me any more Dad? Why did you stop sending child support?

Is it because Mom isn't for sure which one of you brothers is my Dad?

Please call me Dad!

Oh bunk. None of the boys in my Baptist grammar school have smartypants beadfingers for fathers who refuse to pay child support. What a lot of bunk, that's what. For that matter, none of my students is a bastard was born out of wedlock. You get my drift? That's because my families follow the Bible and learn GOD'S WORD at my school. Duh!

Aha! Then he has to be your brother's. Just look at that smile. Look at that gumline. Leave it to the beadfinger, it's a disgrace. So where is Father Thomas Martin these days, Officer? He going to be able to defend himself against such a claim to paternity? I think not.

Re: Open Letter to the Martin Brothers and All Catholics

So where is Father Thomas Martin these days, Officer?

I'm not at liberty to give away too many details, but by mutual agreement between Fr. Martin and the diocese, he may relocate to another diocese where his particular spiritual gifts may be more needed.

Re: Open Letter to the Martin Brothers and All Catholics

Officer Martin, in your style of argument, you're sounding more like one of these Baptist heretic dogs separated brethren than like a Catholic. As you would know if you had paid any attention in CCD instead of goofing off, we rely on Scripture, tradition, and the Magisterium, none of which stands without the other two. Yet here you are, coming perilously close to the heresy of sola scriptura.

God:
1Ki:3:16: Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
1Ki:3:17: And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
1Ki:3:18: And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
1Ki:3:19: And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
1Ki:3:20: And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
1Ki:3:21: And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
1Ki:3:22: And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
1Ki:3:23: Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
1Ki:3:24: And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
1Ki:3:25: And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
1Ki:3:26: Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
1Ki:3:27: Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

Re: Open Letter to the Martin Brothers and All Catholics

Pope John Paul II is the perfect example of a humble yet infallible pope. So humble in fact that he NEVER used his INFALLIBLE powers at any time during his ~26 year reign.

Let me get this straight. You're claiming the fact that, in 26 years, Pimp John Paul Ringo II was never right about anything proves how great he was?

If the Bible was a "mishmash" then, it could not have been the "accurate, unchanging, and unerring" Word of God. One of my favorite saints is Jerome-he had a GREAT love for the Bible, and translated it into the people's language of the time-you know what that was, right?

Here's a quote of his I bet you'd appreciate:

"Love sacred Scripture and wisdom shall love you; love it tenderly, and it will protect you; honor it and you shall receive its caresses. Let it mean to you as much as your necklaces and your earrings mean to you"

Yes, and throughout your history you always followed his example by always faithfully translating the Bible into the people's language of...oh, wait, right.

Oh, by the way, one of our more popular saints, Therese of Lisieux (aka the Little Flower), also had the last name Martin! How cool is that-we might have a relative (the question is whether she's a relative, we know she's in Heaven) in Heaven praying for us really close to God!

I'm praying for you, and there's a chance God will actually listen to me, since I'm not an idol-worshipper. How cool is that?

The Apocrypha is only used to argue belief in Purgatory (and a little on the existence of heaven).

Yes, because your nonsensical beliefs can't be supported with the actual word of God!

Of course he isn't yours. You're not a Martin!

And HE IS NOT MINE EITHER...Who is in charge of paternity tests over here?

Wait, you mean that one of you two is actually straight? Who knew, eh? Who would've thought it?
