For a priest to be condemned to Hell for trying not to become unpopular with the providers of his income is a bit rough I think.If this is the case, then I'm afraid there will not be many people in Heaven.I think alot of people go to church and pray just in case there is a god...and because they have been taught it since their childhood.The bible was written by people who claimed it was the word of God.If I wrote a book tomorrow and told everyone it was the word of God, I'd be laughed at.
Monsignor Hugh Benson wrote books thru Anthony Borgia to tell about the future life. His main book is "Life in the World Unseen". Another similar book is "Here and Hereafter". Both are available for free download.
scrmtrumpet, you are incorrect. It is not the problem with catholicism, it is the problem with religious systems. Proof = the way that John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ rebuked the Pharisees and Saudecees, there was no chirstian religion back then. Also, Jesus himself said, through me is the way, but you worship God not me. In order for Mary to bear child to a Divine child she herself was Divine. Not I'm not catholic, I simply read everything Jesus said and paid attention to him alone.
Can one pray directly to God? Sure! Catholics and Protestants alike offer prayer directly to God and also ask their fellow Christians to pray w/them and for them. The big difference btwn. Catholics and a number of Prostestants is that Catholics don't restict the term "Christian" to mean "only Christians living on earth". Apparently St. Paul (a spiritual giant) asked others to pray for him and w/him to Christ our Lord, when he could just have prayed to Jesus himself.
Incheonlazerhead, you're funny : ) : ) ! ! And, it is really true, that we should all be our greatest instead of a lesser version of all of our real potentials ! ! : ): ) GOD wants you to all of your potential : ) : ) ! !
This is the problem I have with Catholicism. It sounds to me like Mary is the intercessor. According to the Bible, Jesus is the intercessor. Mary and the saints were human just like you and me. Mary was chosen for a special mission but she is not divine. We are to pray to Jesus and no one else.
@scrmtrumpet Just in reply to your comment as a catholic maybe this might help you would you say no to your own mother and if someone give honour to your mother would you not be happy it is likewise with Jesus and Mary yes she is not divine but she is still Gods mother i think this is important i hope this helps you understand us catholics better.
@qwer8907 I appreciate it. I still have problems tho. He says that it is impossible for God, The Holy Spirit or Jesus to deny Mary. Does that not make Mary God? If God CANNOT refuse her doesn't that mean SHE is in charge? Again she had a special purpose but she is not divine, and she certainly does not supersede the Father. Also said in reference to Mary "we have an advocate in Heaven". According to the Bible that advocate is Jesus. No one else. He's the ONLY sinless sacrifice that saves us.
@scrmtrumpet my guess is he either made an error in his speech or that Mary would never ask anything out of Gods will.. Jesus himself said ask anything in his name and he will do it... also remember the wedding in cannan mary asked jesus to perform a miracle in regards to the wine and Jesus was obedient in listening to his mother. I am sure she has a special place in heaven for she bore our savoir and she is blessed among all women.
@marmolejomarc Again, I appreciate it. But, if you read about the wedding in Cana Jesus did not do the miracle for Mary. Technically she didn't even ask Him to do it. She simply said they were out of wine. John 2:3 "And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, they have no wine. (4) Jesus said unto her "Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour has not yet come" Jesus basically said "so?" Not to mention the ONLY people who knew where the wine even came from were the servants
@scrmtrumpet One of the Ten Commandments is to honor thy Father and thy Mother. If Jesus did not listen to His Mother here regarding this Priest, then Jesus has broken One of the Ten Commandments. Jesus Christ honored His Mother Mary here by listening to Her. It is true we are all Her children. This is the reason why Jesus can not say no to Her not that She is a God, but for the simple fact that She is His Mother. Jesus on the Cross gave Mary His Mother to us and us to Her
How does perfect God-made-man love his own mother? And he knew what suffering she would endure with him as foretold by Simeon “And a sword will pierce your own soul too” (Luke 2:35). God is love, & love takes joy when we love one another, asking, praying & caring for one another.
The New Eve, Ark of The New Covenant, God's Living Tabernacle & OUR mother. Woman, behold your son: behold your mother (John 19:26-27). "From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed”. (Luke 1:46)
@scrmtrumpet Than you have a problem with Jesus too since He is the one who went about and gathered 12 men who spoke, acted and interceded in his place. In your insane mind do you really supposed pagan peoples upon hearing about the Lord from Apostles Peter or John they rebuked them saying how dare you intercede for the Lord to me????
@scrmtrumpet And that's what people don't understand about catholicism. No catholic prays TO Mary or any saint. We ask them to pray for us as we would ask God to do so. Each saint has a special way do help us. Like Saint Jude the saint of lost causes. We would ask God to please help our child with St. Jude by your side.
please also watch the EWTN interview with mother angelica, it is very powerful.. the blessed mother saved fr. steve because of the prayers of the faithful - holy mary mother of GOD pray for us siners now and at the hour of our death. beautiful testimony!
fr. steve also confessed why he was a priest for himself and not for JESUS --- he was so humbled by the experience. i hope all other priests will listen up.
He will always be Catholic - trying to stop being Catholic is like trying to change ethnicity. Also,he is still wearing his vestments.
Reading the word? Research Catholicism, if you did you'd know every Mass (daily) is split into 2 parts, the first being reading the Word of God.Catholics are encouraged to read the BIble at home and practicing Catholics do.What we are not to do is make up what we believe it means (as Prostestants do,which is why there are 30K diff churches
i am currently in a state of mortal sin and truly deep heartedly feel sorry for my sin. however i have not been able to make a confession due to issues, but i plan to this week. if i were to die before, would i be sentenced to eternal hell?
@ocstyles7 I would have to say that the answer to your question is yes. Review your conscience, be truly sorry for your sins and go to confession as soon as possible once you are truly sorry for all your sins. If you aren't sorry, pray for the grace to be sorry. If you fall again in the future, pick yourself up and do it all over again. Never give up.
@TVCatholic Father Corapi says NO. If you have true sorrow, not because you fear hell, but deep remorse for hurting God, then a true act of contrition will save you from hell, but not purgatory.
@ocstyles7 i think you've allready've been to confess your sins.. i will go tomorrow.. i go once every month, from the past two years, after i have been beaten for near two minits by a deamon, and not only me, but we war two ,me and a other man.. it was a sign from God that i am in hell teritory, with my soul.. a very, very good priest told me that i must not make plans about my confession, when will i go.. But simply do it, like a reflex.. you fall the secon day? Go! and i go now every month..
@ocstyles7 If you need to talk to someone, please talk to me as soon as possible!! I'd love to walk you through. Don't wait. It's too important. Melissa
@ocstyles7 Not necessarily. Catholic theology teaches that God is bound to the sacraments, but not constrained by them. So God's grace of forgiveness can come to you in ways other than that sacrament. According to Vatican 2, even an atheist could be saved if he follows his conscience in good faith. And even people of other religions can be saved, says Catholicism. So if you're a Catholic and a Christian and turn to God, you could indeed be forgiven.
@ocstyles7 stop thinking about it. please just go on your knees and ask jesus into yourlife. admit all your sins to god and agree with him that you are a sinner. If you are genuine then god will forgive you and you wil be free to go out and serve him.

As a born Catholic, I am being nudged by the Holy Spirit to share what I've found. Recovering from an accident and bored, I picked up a Bible I'd had for years but never read.

finally understood what was meant by "born again"! It is the perfect phrase-that is what happens. Now- I have peace and Joy! So-pick it up and read it!
@tjttzcspplt Always pray to Jesus, Mary and the saints that He will not allow you or others to die in a state of mortal sin. Do this always. Pray, pray, pray.
