Hello from a Catholic

[James Peter]

Hello, you crazy Protestants. I just wanted to say hi. I am James Peter and I belong to the one TRUE church, the Holy Catholic Church. Anyone with any knowledge of history can tell you Jesus founded everything about Catholicism in 30 AD, when he departed the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. All of you protestants are false Christians, and you had better repent.

I'll pray that the Blessed Virgin intercede for you all, you need it.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello from a Catholic

I would say "Welcome to God's favorite forum," but seeing how you're a papist mary-worshiper, I won't.

This is a Christian forum. Why are you here?

You are wrong.

Re: Hello from a Catholic

Yes, I am reaching out to help my lost Protestant brethren. Catholics have a long history of being kind to Protestants, while Protestants have always persecuted Catholics. In fact, Anti-Catholic sentiment is the single most deeply embedded and damaging prejudice in America!

Re: Hello from a Catholic

I'd be a Hindu before I ever considered being a Catlick. You demand 10% of my salary. Your priests molest altar boys. You funnel the money to the don/pope at the Vatican. You fail to pay lawsuits. You fail to give back to your community. Catlicks make me sick!

There isnt something intirely right there, hm... I know for a FACT, given I own a History book, written in Christian perspective, that the Catholics searched for and killed Protestant people. They only fought back. I would quote my history book, however I wont. I wouldn't want to upset our GODLY Pastors.

One word (for the catlick school student):
Romans

Re: Hello from a Catholic

Hah! The Catholic church has been run by perverts since the 4th century! Here is one of your upstanding Vicars of Rome in all his glory! That is quite a gown he is wearing!

http://www.nndb.com/people/159/000092880/

Alexander VI, given name Rodrigo Borgia, Roman Catholic Pope from 1492 until his death, is the most memorable of the corrupt and secular popes of the Renaissance. He was born at Xativa, near Valencia in Spain, and his father's surname was Lanzol or Llançol; that of his mother's family, Borgia or Borja, was assumed by him on the elevation of his maternal uncle to the papacy as Callixtus III (April 8, 1455). He studied law at Bologna, and after his uncle's election he was created successively bishop, cardinal and vice-chancellor of the church, an act of nepotism characteristic of the age. He served in the Curia under five popes and acquired much administrative experience, influence and wealth, although no great power; he was economical in his habits; on occasion he displayed great splendor and lived in a fine palace. His manners were agreeable and his appearance fascinating, but, like many other prelates of the day, his morals were far from blameless, his two dominant passions being greed of gold and love of women, and he was devotedly fond of the children whom his mistresses bore him. Although ecclesiastical corruption was then at its height, his riotous mode of life called down upon him a very severe reprimand from Pope Pius II, who succeeded Calixtus III in 1458. Of his many mistresses the one for whom his passion lasted longest was a certain Vannozza (Giovanna) dei Cattani, born in 1442, and wife of three successive husbands.

And as far as being righteous, your forebearers made quite a mess of the Spanish Inquiistion as well.

http://www.paralumun.com/inquisition.htm

Before the torture started, the victim was told what was about to happen and in many cases this forced the accused to commit to whatever the inquisitors wanted.

It was noted that a person who refused to talk even under torture was being aided by the devil. While the poor victim was being tortured a clerk recorded what was said. In many cases the clerk recorded things that were not even said.

Each subsequent round of torture was much worse than the one before. The torturer was paid out of seized funds belonging to the victim. If the victim had no money then the relatives were made to pay.

While the poor victims screamed with pain the childish tortures carried on like sadistic maniacs. They sprayed there instruments with so called holy water, wore amulets, herbs and crossed themselves. The exact method of torture varied from place to place. The rack was well used in France during the inquisition.

Some victims were horsewhipped. A sharp iron fork was used to mangle breasts. Red hot pincers were used to tear off flesh. Red hot irons were inserted up vaginas and rectums. A device named the turcas was used to tear out fingernails.

After the nails were ripped out needles were shoved into the quicks. Boots called bootikens were used to lacerate flesh and crush bone. Thumbscrews were used to crush the fingers and toes. Acid was poured on victims and hands were immersed into pots of boiling oil and water.

Eyes were gouged out by irons. Alcohol was poured on the head of the poor victim and set alight. Water was poured down the victims throat with a notted cloth. The cloth was then jerked out tearing up the victims bowels.

The torture and rape of innocent women and children seems to be a hallmark of your "religion."

Your a bit confused on one thing. Catholics do NOT demand 10% of salary.

http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/quickquestions/keyword/tithe

Catholics are under no obligation to tithe a certain percentage of their income to the Church. The Church does require the following:

• The fifth precept ("You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church") means that the faithful are obliged to assist with the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability. . . The faithful also have the duty of providing for the material needs of the Church, each according to his own abilities. (CCC 2043)
• The Christian faithful are obliged to assist with the needs of the Church so that the Church has what is necessary for divine worship, for apostolic works and works of charity, and for the decent sustenance of ministers. They are also obliged to promote social justice and, mindful of the precept of the Lord, to assist the poor from their own resources. (CIC 222)

What you are referring to is tithing, which is practiced exclusively in Protestant churches. In fact, as I have been browsing these forums, I have seen many mentions of your members tithing to Landover. Do you know what Jesus says about hypocrites?

Liar. I have known catlicks. I have seen the legal document they were required to sign before the Church would consider them for membership.
We require no such thing. We encourage giving. It is not a prerequisite like it is with you mafiosi.

Indeed, we should follow the dictates for the Church set forth in the Holy Bible. Here's one of those rules:

This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach... 1 Timothy 3:1-2

So, how is your bishop's wife doing, James Peter of the one true Christian Church?

That's not true at all. Most Catholics join when they are babies (a sign of a great religion), how can they sign contracts then?

Re: Hello from a Catholic

It's so nice to see another Catholic here. Together, we can battle these separated brethren and maybe even reclaim a few of them for Holy Mother Church.

As for the Inquisition, is there some reason why you're quoting from a site called "Paralumun New Age Village"?

For that matter, how can they participate in believers' baptism then?

Acts 8:36-38: And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
