  • this chit is bigger than the Mafia, and even more corrupt.

  • The most sublime expression of Gods love...

  • I love this but it would be even better if women could be a part of this.Other then that i love the Catholic Church and its rich rites.

  • Католики - это есть самая первая секта еретиков - они поклоняются безгрешности папы. А папа - монах, наделённый от Бога всеми страстями, и постриг в монашество, и причастие из автомата и женщина - распутница на престоле - факт, какая же там вера? в кого? во что? Решать каждый должен сам,

  • anybody know this hymn?

  • your satire has not gone unnoticed by me

  • So now I am Satan because I tell you not to judge and show hate ignorantly? So If I am Satan himself do you regard yourself as Christ himself to know everything certain? Your the person placing others sin over your own in the face of Christ. Jesus Christ is more important than Josemaria and Christ has control. The Cathecism of the church tells us to never wish or Judge people to Hell, but pray for them.

    May the love of Jesus Christ be with you always :-)

  • Your patience with paxboviscum impresses me :-)

  • dont wish people to hell for you will be judged by your same measures of our Lord--your are a sinner as much as the next and u sould seek love in christ

  • 2 Kor 11,14.15

    "And no wonder, for even satan disguises himself as an angel of light."

  • Very Beautiful!

  • Do you know what this hymn is?

  • Well, my university chaplain is Opus Dei, however Opus Dei does a good job at celebrating the Novus Ordo Mass in a dignified manner, however, the traditional Latin Mass (or extraordinary form of the Roman Rite as called by pope Benedict's Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificum" is celebrated by the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter). It is an entirely different form of Mass.

  • I thought that they did, I just wanted to make sure. I know that a lot of groups outside the FSSP, etc don't use Latin (sadly), it's nice to see Novus Ordo ordinations in Latin though.

  • Just out of curiosity, when Opus Dei deacons are ordained, does the bishop use the Latin formula for ordination or is it in the vernacular (and I guess in this case Italian)?

  • Haha you think Jack Chick is the only one making claims such as this? Do you forget that ALL the great Protestant reformers recognized the Pope as the anti-Christ (in place of Christ). God save the Pope?? I really hope you are not an American.

  • Opus Dei is essentially a fascist institution.

  • If you really think that way, you're essentially an idiot... Opus Dei is nowadays rather like a social club...

  • Haha get real, there are some very sinister forces within the Vatican, Opus Dei being one of them. Im not saying that every Opus Dei is a bad person. Many of them are normal guys, just like the Jesuit Order. But than there are Jesuits of the 4th vow who are essesntially spies.

  • So maybe you'll tell me what are those "sinister forces" and bad people doing? What is their purpose and for whom they are spying? Maybe you have sime secret info that you could share with me?

  • Wanna know some of the stuff they have done? Start with the Jesuit assassination of Abraham Lincoln. You realize that they hung 3 hardcore Roman Catholics for Lincolns assassination. One of which they had to go to the Vatican to catch, and he was serving as one of the Popes personal guards. After this the U.S cut off all diplomatic relationships with the Vatican until that traitor Reagan reestablished them.

  • The Roman Catholic church is the Whore of Babylon and a truely wicked insitution. Read up on some of the bloody deeds of the Jesuits of those Jesuit murderes. Look up the gunpowder plot, the babington plot, the Bye plot, The Main plot and many many more.

  • Oh Dear! I'm so terrified! Maybe we should all run away and hide somewhere, because The Roman Catholic church will kill us!

    p.s. If you're looking for a Whore of Babylon - better search in your family...

  • You think its a joke? Tell that to the many people cruelly tortured during 1000 years of Papal rule (known as the dark ages for a reason). The inquisitons have never ended, they are just now better at the propaganda. While America is fighting a papal crusade you crack jokes.

  • Oh c'mon, what papal crusade against USA you are talking about? You see only bad sides and you repeat stereotypes. Middle ages were the times of great development of christian philosophy, spirituality, of United Europe (one language, one faith, one rule, common values). Inquisitions is demonised, it wasn't always objective, but it was the prototype of modern courts and judicature (yes, I'm not joking now). You should read more books that are closer to the Truth...

  • The "dark ages" were a time of christian philosophy and development? Are you insane? They were a time of superstition and hypocrisy. The Catholic Church crushed any spiritual movement outside its control. The Inquisitions demonized? Do you realize how cruel they were? Look up some of the torture tools used on hundreds of thousands during the inquisitions plz.

  • I can't agree with you. You're absolutely exagerrating. Your country was created in 18th century, mine in 10th. Even if you read sth about medieval history, you can't understand it. Propably you look at it from the perspective of democracy and human rights. That's why you get it...

  • I dont get it because I look from the perspective of democracy and human rights? Your not even making any sense man.. trust me I understand medieval history. Im exagerrating? Look at the torture tools used on people JUST FOR READING A BIBLE during those times. Tell me if thier suffering was exagerrated.

  • Well, you ought to point out that torture was a commonly used secular, civil government punishment for various crimes in the Middle Ages. It was more culture and juridical practice than the evil of Catholicism. At any rate, historian LuAnn Homza, who is an expert on European religious history, said, "Though torture remains one of the most lurid features of the Spanish Inquisition, scholars now believe it was applied quite rarely." In fact, about 2% of victims were tortured (BBC).

  • We do have brilliant philosophical geniuses like Thomas Aquinas living during the "dark ages"!

  • Um yes actually you did, Aquinas lived during the dark ages and is one of the reasons it was so "dark". He was a neoplatonist, not a Christian as he mixed the true faith with these pagan-hellenistic precepts. He was basically the writer of modern Roman catholic canon law and I could show you some truely abominable quotes from Aquinas regarding this canon law, such as that heretics should be handed over to the secular authorities to be killed. Aquinas was basically the founder of the inquistion.

  • Aquinas was a genius, whatever his flaws. I strongly suspect that your and my intellect would pale in comparison to his! Do you seriously think that Thomas Aquinas was not a Christian!? God help you, then what is a Christian?

  • Actually, Aquinas was a Catholic priest of the Dominican Order (Order of Preachers.)

  • What did I say that contradicted that?

  • Its down at the bottom of the page somewhere or on the second page. You and some other fellow were going back and forth about Aquinas (it was 5 months ago lol). I made the same comment on his response to you as well.

  • Would you be more specific? I still can't find where I said Thomas wasn't a Dominican...

  • Evangelium I realize that Aquinas was a Dominican. When did I ever say otherwise?

  • You clearly said he was a Jesuit.

  • Are you talking to me? If I said Aquinas was a Jesuit, sorry, you're right and I was obviously wrong. I still can't find where I said that. Just quote me.

  • Don't worry, I wasn't being serious and you didn't say that. I was just taking the piss really.

  • You have very little knowledge. Look at the deeds of the Jesuits in the world today and see if they are wicked things. While you're sitting on your ass writing comments on YouTube, they are feeding and educating the poor.

  • Oops, I mean you don't get it and you won't...

  • The ungodly Catholic pagan rituals are "moving" for you, and you call your self a Protestant, do you even realize where the word "Protestant" came from, PROTESTant they Protested the evils of the Roman system. what a disgrace, I hope you realize many of the hardcore Opus Dei consider you a heretic worthy of death.

  • Quite moving, even for a Protestant!

  • wow whats that chent is beautiful

  • If you want more biblical backing remember in the epistle of St James 5:13-16, it is written "Is any man among you sick? Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Do we not see the laying on of hands during priestly ordination and episcopal consecration? Do we not see the anointing with oils at Extreme Unction, Confirmation, and ordinations/consecration of clergy? How is any of this un-biblical?

  • St. Paul alludes to penance when he said in Corinthians 9:27 "But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway." The priestly vestments all have basis in Christian tradition. If you don't belkieve me, just look it up.

  • You forget, who gave you Protestants the bible, the Catholic Church compiled the books of the bible, it didn't just fall out of the sky. Remember it was the Protestants who bastardized the bible and took various books out of the bible. St. Luke tells us in Luke 13:5 "No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish."

  • The deacons kneel in front of the bishop as a sign of humility. Christ himself commissioned the apostles to be bishops of the Church and especially commissioned St. Peter and his successors to be the Vicar of Christ to be the visible head of the Church. Christ did say "Thou art Peter and on this rock I will build my Church and I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven and whatever will be loosed on Earth will be loosed in heaven."

  • what a crock a bunch of men in dresses later they spank themselvs and claim it brings them clocer to God. Funny my god did not put ME here for any self mortification!Also why do they get on their knees to another man that is like worshiping him does the bible tell us not to do that as all rc's do with the pope. You are all going to hell

  • Interestly enough, a few sources I've heard from, including a priest from my Traditional Latin Mass Parish and also the Opus Dei Chaplain from my school actualy said that St. Josemaria Escriva, in the middle of one of his first Novus Ordo Masses (after Vatican II of course) broke down and cried(and this was the Novus Ordo in Latin celebrated ad orientem and not versus populum)

  • It's amazing to see so many young priests.

  • yeah, one of the great thing about opus dei that there are so many priests -- so that you can get formation. that takes time.

  • If you ever see ordinations from the traditional societies (ie FSSP, ICRSS, Institute of the Good shepherd). You see a lot of young men being ordained as priests or admitted to the specific seminaries as well.

  • Although I guess if I were ordained in the Novus Ordo Rite I would want this kind of ordination versus the ridiculous stuff we see in many other areas.

  • From what I understand, Pope JP II changed the process to look at the holiness of the candidate and accepts that Saints can have flaws -- hence the Devil's Advocate is not used anymore. Several people did write to the Curia in opposition to Josemaria's canonization (you can find these letters on the Internet), but the vast majority of bishops and lay people -- who had first-hand experience of Josemaria -- strongly supported his canonization.

  • Thanks for your comments -- I accidentally hit "remove" instead of "reply" to your previous comment about the change in the canonization practices.

  • very touching

  • The mystic affiliations under the Pyramids of Egypt, the esoteric sect of Pythagoras, the astrologers or mathematicians of Rome in the time of Domitian, the House of Wisdom in Cairo, the Ismailis or Assassins, Companions of the Old Man of the Mountain, the Templars, the Rose-Croix (Rosicrucians), the Carbonari, the Jesuits, Freemasons

  • The Jesuits are a Military Religious Order of the Roman Catholic Church

  • Military? Since they lack any weapons or battle training they are probably quite a poor military religious order!

  • The Rising Spectre of Opus Dei

    Opus Dei ('Work of God') is short for "The Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei".

  • OPUS DEI IS THE WORK OF G-D!

  • It is gods work. It is the very soul of gods work. God wanted us to treat others as we would have them treat us. He wanted us to be able to sacrifice our time and effort for the betterment of society. Opus dei lives life continually reminding themselves that they are willing to sacrifice certain comforts for others.

  • thanks! it's great to see some positive comments.

  • Christ said: "My kingdom is not of this world." The Pope conquers cities by force.

    Christ had a crown of thorns. The Pope wears a triple diadem.

    Christ washed the feet of his disciples. The Pope has his kissed by kings.

  • in general, opus dei members (I'm not one of them) are very busy working -- and thus don't respond to criticism. if you are interested in learning more about opusdei check out their website. I wish you all the best!

  • OPUS DEI IS NOT GOD'S WORK! NEVER WAS!

  • Opus Dei is Latin and means, "the Work of God." St. Josemaria didn't know what to call this new lay organization, and his spiritual adviser actually created the name ("How's that Work of God coming along?"). Thus Opus Dei is no more (nor less) the Work of God than anything else in Christendom.

  • The media celebrated the occasion by republishing past revelations concerning St. Escriva's fascism, secrecy, elitism and accumulation of vast wealth, beneath headlines tactfully referring to him as "controversial". But there was a deafening silence concerning the menace posed by Escriva's huge, shadowy organisation which originated in obscurity in Spain in the 1930s and blossomed in the Spanish Civil War.

  • Escriva was not a fascist, and denounced Hitler as racist and pagan (he was actually non-political, i.e. neutral). I think that most of your claims are slander, so I would like to see some evidence that they are, e.g., very wealthy.

  • Of course I trust Jesus not Aquinas. But Aquinas was a great man whose wonderful ideas help lead me and many to greater faith and knowledge in Jesus and his One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church!

  • "Secular authorities, whatever office they may hold, shall be admonished and induced and if necessary compelled by ecclesiastical censure, that as they wish to be esteemed and numbered among the faithful, so for the defense of the faith they ought publicly to take an oath that they will strive in good faith and to the best of their ability to exterminate in the territories subject to their jurisdiction all heretics pointed out by the Church"- (Twelfth Ecumenical Council: Lateran IV - 1215 A.D

  • "Catholics who have girded themselves with the cross for the extermination of the heretics, shall enjoy the indulgences and privileges granted to those who go in defense of the Holy Land." - (Twelfth Ecumenical Council: Lateran IV - 11215 A.D)

    Oh ya, real Christ like. By "heretics" it means anybody who rejects the political(temporal) power of the pope. I hope that the Holy Ghost will bring you to the truth about Rome.

  • I'm not sure where these comments came from, this isn't what we're talking about.

    At any rate, according to the Church these are ecclesiastical disciplines, and are thus not subject to the charism of infallibility. Catholics believe these comments could be entirely wrong, and it thus has no effect on the claims of the Catholic Church herself.

  • No idiot..get your facts right. Anyone outside of the church that Jesus himself founded is a heretic. if you go against the churches teachings, you go against Christ. Get over it.

  • The Church of Christ is not some worldly institution. Jesus's kingdom is not of this world, his Church is the mystical union of all those saved by the shed blood of Christ through grace by faith. Your so called "church" in Rome has made itself an enemy of God and woe to anybody who thinks they find salvation through its pagan and totalitarian blasphemies. The Vatican is a multi-billion dollar geo-political institution it is NOT the Bride of Christ but the Whore of Babylon.

  • You say

    That the Catholic Church is a man made religion indeed, God became Man Jesus, God uses men to reach his people

    The apostles are men they are not Gods

    Its only through man that we know of Jesus &

    Its only through the Catholic Church that you know of Jesus

    Even the bible came from the Catholic Church

    Vatican wealth are offerings to God alone. from Kings & Queens from centuries.

    Popes cannot give them away what is of God

    RCC help the poor around the globe 24/7 no one else can.

  • Why must you equate the vatican with God? It is a den of vipers and pedophiles and fascists and communists and freemasons. So the vaticans wealth which it hoardes is God's wealth? RCC help the poor? They rob from the poor, they did it all throughout the middle ages and you can watch it happen in impovershed catholic countries. Protestantism has spawned the most prosperous and productive nations the world has ever seen. Many organizations such as the freemasons hide behind charity and like things

  • THE CHURCH IS HOLY (Eph. 5:2527, Rev. 19:78)

    By his grace Jesus makes the Church holy, just as he is holy.

    This doesnt mean that each member is always holy.

    Jesus said there would be both good and bad members in the Church (John 6:70), and not all the members would go to heaven (Matt. 7:2123).

    REMEMBER EVEN TODAY HIS CHURCH HAS JUDAS PRIEST

  • But the Church itself is holy because it is the source of holiness and is the guardian of the special means of grace Jesus established, the sacraments (cf. Eph. 5:26).

    remember GOD HAS BLESS HIS CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH TONS OF AUTHENTIC SAINTS - you won't see in over 38,000 Prots Denominations.

  • Yes your roman papal "church" and your pope are Judas Priest's within Christendom, they are wicked perverters of the faith teaching the doctrines of the nicolaitans.

  • You are FULL of HATRED

    It's in your heart. to be

    HATEFUL - ENVIOUS - IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH

    May God have mercy on your soul.

    SAY THIS PRAYER 3 X

    Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

    Holy Mary Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen

    REMEMBER The intercession of our heavenly Mother Mary to plead for your salvation to her son, Jesus cannot deny his mom's prayers.

  • Yes, like the Lord God, I have a hatred for false doctrines and works. If you understood righteousness you would also.

    To a Bible believer it is laughable that you would ask Mary to intercede for you. I am not a part of babylonian goddess worship religion. I will pray to Jesus directly, I will pray to the Father directly just like the example Jesus set for us. Funny how none of the Apostles or writers of Holy Scripture mention praying to Mary for intercession.

  • "And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."  John 2:3-4

    Jesus cannot deny his mother? It is disgusting to me that you believe the Almighty is somehow submitted to the humble Mary.

  • God gave Mary a special role. He saved her from all sin - Luke 1:28, 47¸ Psalms 16:9,10, made her uniquely blessed among all women - Luke 1:42, and made her a model for all Christians - Luke 1:48. At the end of her life he took her, body and soul, into heaven—an image of our own resurrection at the end of the world - Rev. 12:12.

    Marys prayers are especially effective on our behalf because of her relationship with her Son (John 2:111).

  • Yes Mary is blessed above all women but she was not sinless nor was she divine. She was simply a human in as much need of a savior as anybody. The "Assumption of Mary" is a papist doctrine which is not found in the Bible. It is an attempt to turn Mary into "another Christ", this is done in accord with the pagan Mystery religions, turning Mary into some sort of Isis figure.

  • Marys womb is Gods TABERNACLE (made HOLY & PURE) Luke 1:42-43

    -Why would Jesus stayed in Marys womb for 9 months If Mary is not holy?

    -God is perfect - Mary is pre-planned not an accident she is the woman mentioned in Genesis 3:15

    Mary was conceived without sin - her son Jesus who is God (with supernatural power) save her from all sin from conception until death.

    FOR NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GOD

  • THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MOTHER

    Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices, my body, too, abides in confidence; Because you will not abandon my soul to the nether world, nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption ~ Psalms 16:9,10

    God created Adam & Eve without sin.

    Who is greater?

    Eve who brought sin into this world or Mary who brought salvation (Jesus) into this world?

    At the Cross Jesus took the thief with him to heaven why not his loving mother Mary?

  • No thief ascended with Jesus. Jesus alone has ascended into the Heavens, not Mary, not the theif, not Mohammed. Mary's body lies within her tomb, as does the bodies of the prophets and apostles. Mary awaits the Lord's return and the resurrection of the dead as do the rest of us. Mary died, if she had ascended bodily into Heaven wouldn't this have been recorded in Holy Scripture? The "Assumption of Mary" is something which was made up by you papists, made dogmatic by your pope in 1950.

  • We are even found to be misrepresenting God, that he raised Christ whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.1 Corinthians 15:29

    16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

    17 If Christ has not been raised your faith is futile and you are still in your sins

    18 Then those also who have died in Christ have perished.

    29 ".. who recieve baptism on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?

  • Moreover, I say confidently that anyone calling himself universal bishop, or desires to be so called, shows himself, by this self-exaltation, to be the forerunner of the antichrist because by this display of pride he sets himself superior to others. - "pope" Gregory I (590-604) who had refused the title of "pope" given to him by the ROMAN EMPEROR Phocas. I wish to submitt myself to Christ, never to Rome.

  • "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" - Luke 1:42-43

    Where did it say Marys womb is the tabernacle of God? The temple of God is the body of the believer wherein dwells the Holy Ghost.

  • "fruit of thy womb" - will that womb be dirty with sin? Will God allow his only begotten son enter the womb of a sinner?

    You cannot be blessed if you are not clean, holy, and sinless

    For 9 month baby Jesus lived in Mary's womb a TABERNACLE made clean, pure and immaculate worthy of God's only son

    "...that the mother of my Lord..."

    THIS VERSES IS ABOUT Elizabeth calling MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD (Lord) indeed.

    click my name to WATCH VIDEO: Mary the Mother of Jesus APPARITION ON TV ~ 1968-1970

  • Apparation of Mary? You poor sad soul, chasing after lying signs and wonders. I tell you, this adulterous generation will be given no sign.

  • Jesus has been sending his loving mother Mary to warn us of impending chastisement, if you listen to the message of Jesus as told by his mother to the Catholic children (seers) you will not have hatred in your heart instead a spiritual, peaceful, loving, forgiving, understanding and compassionate true Christian.

    Mary had suffered enough from watching her only son humiliated, tortured and nailed to the cross.

    Why do you Prots inflicts more pains and sorrow to the mother of your God?

  • "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" - 2nd Thessalonians 2:8-19

    Phhh, Marian apparations, more evidence that popery is that mystery of iniquity which doth already work in Paul's age.

  • And I tell you, if Mary is pronounced sinless it is ONLY because of the work laid out by Jesus (Yeshua) at calvary.

  • so now WorshipInTruth do you now SURRENDER? AND ACCEPT MARY THE MOTHER OF YOUR GOD to be: SINLESS? HOLY? PURE? & IMMACULATE? WORTHY MOTHER OF GOD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST now ask for her maternal forgiveness say The Hail Mary (3x) Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. YOU WILL FEEL HER PRESENCE try it
  • Indeed Mary's interceded for the wedding guest telling her son "...they have no wine"

    At the foot of the cross Jesus gave his mother to us. Mary's role is to lead and intercede for us to her son Jesus.

    Jesus called his mother "woman" (wedding at Cana & and at the Calvary) referring to Genesis 3:15

    Mary the New Eve!

  • Gensis 3:15 is another point of contention. You realize that the catholic church changed Genesis 3:15? That is correct your catholic Bible says something totally different then the tradition Hebrew Torah which was used by Luther in his translations.

  • IF HISTORY TELL US THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH GAVE US THE BIBLE

    only she will have the CORRECT INTERPRETATIONS (Catechism of the Catholic Church) OF THE BIBLE

    Just open up the Yellow Pages of your telephone book and see how many different denominations are listed, each claiming to go by the "Bible alone," but no two of them agreeing on exactly what the Bible means.

  • "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."  - Gensis 3:15

    You see it is the SEED of the woman [Jesus Christ] who bruises the head of the serpent. Yet your catholic Bible has it written that it is the woman who bruises the head of the serpent.

  • Of course your catholic Bible turned it into "She will bruise thy head". Such blasphemy. IT WAS CHRIST WHO HAD HIS HEEL BRUISED [the Cross] AND IN TURN CRUSHED THE SERPENT.

  • THE BIBLE CAME FROM THE CATHOLIC

    CHURCH CAME FIRST

    Matthew 16:18 & 1Timothy 3:15

    THE BIBLE CAME OUT FROM THE RC CHURCH - read the bible history below

    IF HISTORY TELL US THAT RCC GAVE US THE BIBLE only she will have the CORRECT INTERPRETATIONS (Catechism of the Catholic Church) OF THE BIBLE

    Bible believing Christians has been DISTORTING & MISINTERPRETING THE WORDS OF GOD

    as you can see the result there are now

    OVER 38,000 CONFUSED PROTS DENOMINATIONS

  • You can keep saying the Bible came from the roman "church" all you want but it doesnt make it true. You could say it a thousand times and it wouldnt make it true. Why dont you do some real unbiased research.

  • HISTORY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH

    In you own distorted history where did the bible came from?

    Who compiled them?

    who added Chapter and Verses?

    What church does "canonization"?

    Those classic paintings of monks writing in a BIG book are they Buddhist Monks.

    REMEMBER THE BIBLE IS A CATHOLIC BOOK DISTORTED BY Over 33,000 PROTESTant DENOMINATIONS

  • Over 33,000 protestant denominations? Would it to God that there were 33,000 MORE Churches, and they need not be submitted to the pope of Rome but only to Jesus the Lord over all.

    By the way, Churches all over Africa, the middle east and Asia had their own canons long before the Roman imperials made a canon. Do the research. There was a time where the pope of Rome was not considered dominate but shared power among other Bishops such as the Bishop of Alexandria, Antioch etc. Do your homework.

  • The Church Is One

    Rom. 12:5, 1 Cor. 10:17, 12:13

    Jesus established only one Church, not a collection of differing churches (Lutheran, Baptist, Born Again and so on).

    The Bible says the Church is the bride of Christ (Eph. 5:2332). Jesus can have but one spouse, and his spouse is the Catholic Church.

    His Church also teaches just one set of doctrines, which must be the same as those taught by the apostles (Jude 3). This is the unity of belief to which Scripture calls us (Phil. 1:27, 2:2)

  • Roman Catholics (242 branches)

    Part 1 of 3

    The largest is by far the Latin-rite (commonly called "Roman Catholics" by non-Catholic Christians) with 976 million members of the 994 million total members (or 98% of the total, year 1995 numbers).

    However, since virtually all of these western and smaller eastern rites are in union with the Pope (I am not sure of some of them), there is actually one Catholic Church, not 242 churches or denominations.

    2005 THERE ARE OVER 1.5 BILLION CATHOLICS

  • It is the Holy Ghost which unites believers, not the pope. I guess all I can do is pray that you would be saved and see this because as of now you are taken off course by wordly aspirations of certain power hungry men who would usurp the role of Christ and the Ghost.

  • How sad, a billion lost catholics.....

    "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" - Matthew 7:13

  • "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." - Matthew 7:14-15

    ALL UNITED WITH THE BISHOP OF ROME - Our Holy Father - The Vicar of Christ - The Pope - The Shepherd

  • Why do you foolishly believe that you must go through the roman papal church to get to the Most High? You can go to him directly through Christ Jesus. You see, the vatican, the pope and every priest are antichrist because they put themselves IN PLACE OF CHRIST, that is the very meaning of the word "antichrist".

  • From the beginning God has been shepherding his children from Noah, Abraham, Moses to Peter (our First Shepherd a.k.a Pope) and now Pope Benedict 16

    Jesus promised Peter our First Pope in Matthew 16:19 : I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.

    Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." .

    JESUS SEALED PETERS AUTHORITY WITH THESE VERSES John 21:15, 16 & 17

  • CHRISTIANITY IS FAMILY OF GOD

    not me and Jesus alone

    Jesus shares many of His unique roles with Christians in lesser ways. Jesus is the Creator of all things (Jn 1:3; Col 1:16-17), and yet He shares this role with men and women in procreation.

    Jesus is the only Shepherd (Jn 10:11-16), yet He delegates this role to St. Peter (Jn 21:15-16) and later to others (Eph 4:11).

  • Jesus is the eternal High Priest, mediating His once-for-all sacrifice for our redemption (Heb 3:1, 7:24, 9:12, 10:12),

    and yet Christians are also called to join in Christ's priesthood, as we have seen (1 Pet 2:5; Rev 1:6, 5:10).

    Obviously, Christ is the unique and primary Creator, Shepherd, and Priest, but each Christian participates in these roles in subordinate ways.

    By sharing Christ's divine life, Christians also share in Christ's role as the only mediator.

  • Sorry but Jesus is the SOLE MEDIATOR.

    "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." 1st Timothy 2:5-6

    You are teaching catholic blasphemy. Your church teaches that only PRIESTS (men ordained by your roman hierarchy)are the active mediators between God and men instead of Jesus and the Spirit. They deny the power thereof that is why the papal organization is antichrist

  • You really DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

    all these gibberish you are babbling are very typical of UNEDUCATED :"anti Catholics"

    What word in "lesser" mediator you don't understand?

    1Tim 2:5 confirms that we share in Christ's mediation, when we read it in context. In verses 1-7, St. Paul asks Christians to participate in Christ's unique mediation

    by offering prayers and intercessions for all men: "this is good and pleasing to God."

  • We are called to unite ourselves to the one mediator Christ, "who gave himself as a ransom for all," by praying for all men, through Christ.

    Because Christians share in the priesthood of Christ, we share in a lesser and dependent way in His unique mediation, interceding for all men.

    Fellow Christians on earth intercede for each other in prayer without contradicting the unique mediation of Jesus Christ.

  • All prayer, whether in heaven or on earth, is in Christ and through Christ, our one mediator and high priest.

    The principle is this: although God alone possesses all perfections, we can participate in God's perfections by sharing in His divine life. For example, the Bible says only God is good (Mk 10:18).

    Yet we can share in that absolute Goodness: "Well done, my good and faithful servant" (Mt 25:23).

    SEE HOW YOU DISTORT WORDS "I never said Priests only:" YOUR IGNORANCE ITSELF IS BLASPHEMY

  • IGNORANT need to

    READ THESE BOOKS

    "Faith of the Early Church Fathers"

    "Born Fundamentalist Born Again Catholic"

    Watch EWTN "Journey Home" LIve Every Monday at 8 PM We began to see that as non-Catholics, in good faith we had submitted our lives to Jesus Christ on our terms, not his.

    We had no other terms.

    Our Christian lives had been based on our interpretation of Scriptures or that of other persons whom we had chosen to follow. ~ Fr. Ray Ryland Former Episcopalian Priest now Catholic

  • Laugh, you think those books or EWTN are going to turn me away from Christ? Wouldn't happen. I can only pray that God changes your heart. Perhaps you should turn off the TV and focus on the Word of God.

  • IS YOUR FAITH TO JESUS CHRIST very WEAK?

    ARE YOU AFRAID THAT EWTN MIGHT CONVINCE YOU TO COME HOME TO ROME?

    Watching EWTN "Journey Home Live Call-In Show Every Monday at 8 PM

    Featuring Former: Bible Scholars, Ministers, Atheist, Muslims reasons for becoming Catholic

    Hosted by: Dr. Marcus Grodi Former Presbyterian Pastor.

    REMEMBER NO ONE CAN CONVERT YOU TO THE TRUTH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH except THE HOLY SPIRIT - not me - not ewtn - not even the Pope

    DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LEARN THE TRUTH

  • Haha, "come home to Rome"? I belong to the true Church which was never part of that abomination in Rome. I suggest you read "Truth Triumphant: The Church in the Wilderness" by B.G Wilkinson if you want to start to understand what Church I wish to belong too. I have watch a few episodes of EWTN, it was as ridiculous as anything else that you see which passes as "Christian" on the mainstream television.

  • COOL then you are open minded after all

    BUT

    I said but

    When you watch

    EWTN did you took off your Prots Glasses?

    try watching "Journey Home" you can even call the former Protestant Bible Scholar or Theologian and ask you common misconceptions about the RCC.

    Maybe next time you should take your denomination glasses off, so you can see the beauty of the true church of Jesus Christ.

    PEACE!

  • EWTN is run by liberal minded Jesuits, I remember one time I watched a Knights of Columbus celebration where they talked about finances for two hours. Or else you can watch the nuns mindlessly repeating prayers over and over. What a pointless, spiritless waste of time.

  • WRONG

    None of them are Jesuits get your facts straight,

    EWTN founded and started by Mother Aneglica a cloistered nun (Poor Clare) with no money with Divine intervention it now reaches over 600 countries.

    Mother Angelica also started the Franciscan Friars (Priests & Brothers) as you can see they all wear brown robes.

    The Jesuits mostly don't wear robe if they do their habit is white with sash.

    The nuns were praying the Rosary if you listen carefuly it's a meditation about the lief of Jesus.

  • The Jesuits run EWTN, trust me. None of them are Jesuits?? Practically the only person I see on that station is Mitch Pacwa S.J. Protestants agree that we wish to use the Bible as our final authority in faith in practice, not your pope and corrupt roman hierarchy.

    By the way, Padre Pio was a sick bastard. It is well known that he faked stigmata with carbolic acid, what deceit and insanity.

  • "Padre Pio was a sick bastard" - you bashed him why do you know him in person? or you just heard this bashing from another anti Catholic?

    For 50 years he faked his stigmata? fake when he can tell you what sins you are not telling him? faked his bi locations? appearing 2 different places at the same time. Faked the healing of the sick?

    His stigmata - all 5 wounds scars disappeared 3 days after his death in 1968?

    WHEN THE TIME COMES PADRE PIO WILL BE IN YOUR DEATH BED giving you absolution

  • Listen... I was born into a secular family who do not go to church. I was saved by the grace a God some years back. I studied and weighed the evidence regarding these things so there is no way I would ever bring myself into communion with the papal institution. Christians are to seperate ourselves from wickedness, we are not to be in communion with falsehoods and deceit.

  • Typical protestant they don't agree on doctrinal issues and what the bible says

    But ALL AGREED on HATING THE POPE!

    "We are compelled to concede to the Papists (Catholic) that they have the Word of God, that we received it from them, and that without them we should have no knowledge of it at all." ~ x Fr. Martin Luther O.S.A.

  • There are things I struggle in regarding my personal Christian life but I thank God that popery and jesuitry are not one of them.

  • Padre Pio motto "Pray, Hope and Don't Worry"

    POPE SUPREMACY

    Jesus promised Peter our First Pope in Matthew 16:19 : I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

    JESUITS

    are very intellectual they are good educators and most of their schools are recognized to be the best of all Catholic Schools - their original missions is to be spiritual adviser to the Popes.

    Now you know!

  • By the way, why dont you read up on the history of Jesuit intrigue and why they were kicked out of practically every nation in Europe at one point or another (mostly catholic nations, including the papal states). They have a truely bloody and murderous history and today they are busy promoting communist/marxist "liberation theology" in South America.

    Or you could simply start by studying the Vatican Bank scandal, or the Vatican ratlines, or the Ustashi genocide of orthodox serbs.

  • The vatican is corrupt to the core and many of the religious orders are being exposed as pedophiles and homosexuals, the Jesuit order especially.

  • 9th Commandment

    "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

    REMEMBER THIS WHEN THE TIME COMES

    unless you've lived in the monastery or convent you don't know what you are talking about.

    Generalizing few Judas in Jesus church that he founded is really SICK it really shows that

    HATRED IS ENGRAVE IN YOUR IGNORANT HEART.

    May the good Lord Jesus Christ HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!

  • Why dont you just do some real and honest research on those three subjects that I suggested- the Vatican Bank scandal (Bianco Ambrosiano scandal), the Vatican ratlines (Odessa network), and the Ustashi genocide of orthodox serbs (forced conversions in the 20th century). I assure you that it is more then just a few Judases, Rome is corrupt to the core and has been since around 1000 A.D.

  • THE CHURCH IS HOLY

    Eph. 5:2527, Rev. 19:78 By his grace Jesus makes the Church holy, just as he is holy.

    This doesnt mean that each member is always holy. Jesus said there would be both good and bad members in the Church (John 6:70), and not all the members would go to heaven (Matt. 7:2123).

    But the Church itself is holy because it is the source of holiness and is the guardian of the special means of grace Jesus established, the sacraments (cf. Eph. 5:26).

    JUDAS EAT BREATH WITH JESUS!

  • Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? He is speaking here of billions of lost roman catholics. You practice a quasi-pagan religion which exalts "Mary" (esoteric Isis) into the Godhead and reduces Jesus Christ to a cracker.

    You should offer your prayers and financial support to the thousands of victims of priest molestation instead of covering for this criminal sect.

  • Go to "Jesuit Abuse . com"  (no spaces) and donate to some of the victims of the perverse brood.

  • The Jesuitsare simply the Romish army for the earthly sovereignty of the world in the future, with the Pontiff of Rome for emperorthats their ideal. It is simple lust of power, of filthy earthly gain, of domination something like a universal serfdom with them as masters thats all they stand for. They dont even believe in God perhaps." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881; famous Russian novelist)

    True words...

  • If you read Fyodor Dostoyevsky writtings they are "anti Catholic Church"

    DIDN'T I POSTED THIS ALREADY?

    An anti Catholic was asked How many books written by Catholic Authors have you read?

    The anti Catholic answered: nonebut

    I read books that are anti Catholic Church

    so what else is new? GIVE ME NEW SHT?

  • Yeah, you did post that already. You catholics post the same stuff over and over, in fact, I dont think you have posted a single thing I havent already read 10 times by conversing with catholics on youtube. Its like you guys are brainwashed, either that or you weak wannabe apologists are all using the same site to copy and paste stuff from.

  • WorshipInTruth the main reason we Catholics has to repeat our answers again and again

    cus you "anti Catholics" has slow understanding of Theology & Philisophy we have to treat you in kindness like a "special Ed student" otherwise we will be calling you "stu p i d"

    Yep Catholic doctrine are all the same we don't change them to what you want to hear, so what you hear from non ignorant Catholics will be the same

    unlike you, who likes to distort what the Bible says to suit your heretic Theology

  • And when you feel losing the dialog or debate you do the: "doctrinal dance" and worse

    you bash the Pope, blaspheme Mary the mother of your God and

    your mother church The Roman Catholic Church

    ALL YOUR MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CAME FROM same Anti Catholic Website like:

    Jack Chick Tracts

    and Heretics TVangelists like Jimmy Swaggart, Benny Hinn etc.

    YOU HAVE NO MIND OF YOUR OWN!

  • Many great thinkers of the past have exposed the papal church. Get it straight. Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Morse among hundreds of others. I do not blaspheme Mary, she is not God so how can I "blaspheme" her. It is your cult which makes up unBiblical lies about the humble Hebrew Mary.

  • "There are not 100 people who hate the Catholic Church; But there are millions who hate what they mistakenly think what the Catholic Church is."-Archbishop Fulton Sheen

    TONS OF FORMER ANTI- CATHOLICS WHO ARE NOW CATHOLIC HAS SAME ATTITUDE AS YOU "WorshipInTruth" TOWARDS THE MOTHER CATHOLIC CHURCH

    Dr. Scott Hahn (Presbyterian Minister) Steve Ray (Baptist Preacher) Tim Staples (Assembly of God Minister) Alex Jones (Pentecostal Pastor converted to RCC with 64 members of his church)

  • What is your point, I could direct you to many more former catholics who left that abomination and in turn strengthened their relationship with Christ.

  • We began to see that as non-Catholics, in good faith we had submitted our lives to Jesus Christ on our terms, not his. We had no other terms.

    TO BE CATHOLIC IS TO BE FULLY CHRISTIANIZED!

  • worshipln truth " Fuck you " and shut up, you dont have the right to share your ideas since you are a small shit. Always remember that Jesus is the king of the kings!!!! you fucken pig

  • Jesus is the King of Kings not your blasted pope.

    You speech is testament to your wickedness.

  • @WorshipInTruth You will be dust, unremembered, unmourned.... but the Roman Church led by Peter will last until the end of time

  • @kelgonus Believers in Christ will be resurrected unto eternal life. Rome will be destroyed, the roman papacy fears the return of Christ and faces destruction for its many crimes against God and humanity. Listen to the cries of her victims, do not whitewash the crimes of the pontifex maximus and his sodomite pedophile minions.
