Last first: I have studied many of the various catechisms that have been put out by the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries. It is not correct to say that Roman Catholics have faith in God only, since they claim that Tradition (with a capital "T") is equal in authority to the Bible.At its base, this is putting faith in the teachings of uninspired men, rather than in the Holy Spirit who co-authored the Bible with the inspired men he chose. From this basic error spring all the other errors of the RCC, including Mariolatry. (As to the statement about 'no good Catholic worships Mary,' you must count most parish priests, monks, bishops and popes in that crowd, which leaves precious few of you, if true.) As to the hordes of leftists being the enemies of Christians, this is false on its face: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 The hordes of leftists are lost souls who desperately need to hear the gospel clearly preached, something the Roman Catholic church has not only not done, but has opposed at every step for centuries. Jesus loves you, GG. |

MyResp: Not only confused logically, but all together, totally, and Galactically wrong. Let me say it plainer, then. Roman Catholicism places its faith in Jesus plus other things, whereas the faith of Biblical Christianity is placed solely in Jesus.As a practical matter, the other things that Catholics trust in vary from individual to individual; some worship Mary through the rosary, some emphasize praying to dead saints, some look to the pope or some priest, some try to obey the Law. Rome really doesn't care, as long as they do not put their faith solely in Christ's gracious work. Once a person does that, they find they are no longer bound by the decrees of robed men, and the whole superstructure of the Roman Catholic Church is threatened. The point is that the faith of a true Roman Catholic is always and necessarily in something other than who Jesus is and what He accomplished on the cross. If they are trusting only in that, they are heretics in Rome's view. (See Neil's original point below re: the Council of Trent.) Let me ask you this, GG: Are you certain that you will go to heaven when you die? |

You don't have to agree with beliefs or even have Catholic friends...just quit being stupid and rally with the people who share 90% of your faith and 100% of your goals. Ah, but Christians share 0% of the Roman Catholic faith and 0% of their goals, since 100% of a Christian's faith is in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ, and a Christian's goals are to honor the Father by faith in Him, whereas some lesser percentage of a true Roman Catholic's faith and goals are in Christ's person, work and honor, with the remainder going to their own works, our Lord's earthly mother, clerics, bishops, cardinals, popes, Zen meditation techniques, political maneuvering, and so on.Belief in ritual and attachment to some earthly organization kills as effectively as unbelief. |
