@wjweigand You are not alone!

[OrionArmyAngel]

THERE IS "A PROPHESY" PAINTED IN "THE LAST JUDGEMENT" OF

"MICHELANGELO" IN "THE SISTINE CHAPEL" THAT SAYS THAT WHEN

"THE LITERAL UGLY BUSH SKULL CAP" OF "AN EVIL POPE" EMERGES THERE

WILL BE "AN EVIL EFFORT" TO RESCUE "JESUSCHRIST" WITH "A 3 1/2 DAYS

LITERAL BLOCK LADDER". THE "UGLY SKULL CAP" REFERS TO "GEORGE W. BUSH" AND "POPE BENEDICT XVI" AS "A FALSE POPE".

@HailMary53 ... have you read Vatican II's documents? More importantly, have you ever read any pre-Vatican II documents?

[HailMary53]

@wjweigand lol th novus ordo redefined the term catholic? accept the authority of teh council and the pope thats all i will say...

Viva il papa!

[wjweigand]

@HailMary53, I am a Catholic. The only reason the term "Traditional" has to be attached is because of how the Novus Ordo religion has erroneously redefined what it means to be Catholic. So, yes, I am a traditional Catholic.

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama I am stubborn for faith. What about them coming in to power? I know the church had faults but would that make the church not the true church? If this is about papal authority i advise you to google it on a catholic website to see its point of view. I have seen the other thoughts on it...its the same thing the pope is satan, antichrist, evil, etc. But i have yet to see anyone not use the bible to describe it..the bible is a catholic book...look how it came to be

Ave Maria

[HailMary53]

@wjweigand what r u the Traditionalist Catholic?

[osamauremama]

@HailMary53 All i am asking is for you to look at the facts and stop being so stubborn. Look at the history of how they came to power. John 16:2, Jesus explained a time will come when the disciples would be killed, and the ones who killed them would think they were doing somthing good for God. The pope has no authority what so ever, yet you believe he is the greatest. God didnt give him his kingdom, Satan did

[wjweigand]

@HailMary53 .... It's simply based on what previous Popes have infallibly taught and declared as anathema. If you really want to know more, pm me

[HailMary53]

@wjweigand omg really? what makes you think that?

God Bless Roman Catholicism

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama we are not trying to determine here the beast of revelation i would debate you all you want on that the point of this debate is why r we even bringing this topic up? there are other churches out there that have been killing and anything sinful against God and it was even the church itself..in the Catholic church it was people acting in the name of the church not the church itself. so i say again whats the point? would this not make the church true?

Long live the Pope!

[wjweigand]

This guy isn't the Pope because you have to be a Catholic to be a Pope. Mr. Ratzinger and the rest of you modernist heretics... get OUT of the Roman Catholic Church buildings.

[osamauremama]

@HailMary53 the fact of the matter is they killed Christians those who were following God's Commands and did not want to follow the law of the papacy. That is my point.... The papacy is now in control because of the brutal torture and killings of innocent Christians. The Bible testifies they are the beast who came out of the water.

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama what didnt i clearify this? Yea the members of the church had sinned and killed hundred of people....what do you want to prove with this? That the Catholic Church has sinners in its midst? What other church doesn"t?

Viva il Papa!

[david1965af]

For the White House to have had the band play the Battle Hymn of the Republic at this papal greeting was inappropriate.

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama What?

Ave Maria

[osamauremama]

@HailMary53 even the fact of "hail" mary.... if u read the bible rev 22:8

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama why dont you read its teachings and practices adn find that its realy beautiful.

Glory to our Lord! Ave Maria! Viva Il Papa!

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama population. And to both of the points, what are you trying to say? That the Catholic Church has had sinners in past present and even future commit horrible sins in teh churches name? or that the church has sinners even in high authoritative places? Are you saying that you and your church has had no sinners that have commited crimes against a human being? Because if yo judge teh church based on the sins of its members youre wasting you time look at the sins of the world. Instead ...

[HailMary53]

@osamauremama i wont debate with you on the antichrist points because if you even look up on the internet the supporting side of that its all trash, read teh other side and hear what they have to say, and i mean READ... I have not read teh words pope ever appearing in the bible, but it has been mentioned indirectly again READ... Did the church ever authorize the killings? And i am not a historian but 60 million people in one sitting is a lot for a time period that had way less than that of a ...

[osamauremama]

@NationalApostasy Also Daniels 3 and 7 point out the Roman papacy as the anti christ

[osamauremama]

@HailMary53 Mathew 23:9

[HailMary53]

@NationalApostasy I can not help you there. Revelation is too symbolic for me to understand but I can surely tell you that the church is the bride of Christ not a beast.

Glory to our Lord! Ave Maria! Viva Il Papa!

[HailMary53]

@NationalApostasy of being the vicar of Christ not to be worshipped. It was for who he represented not who he was. And what false documents did the church apporve? hmm bring it really those things are facts. What is 1 John 2:3-7 supposed to prove? Oh my gosh your one of those that believe in that? uhh.... nvm you need to find someone or somthing that can explain revelation to you because reading the word without guidance of something like the church will have you make assumptions without fact...

[HailMary53]

@NationalApostasy Peter was the first pope, what was Peter you are the rock and upon this rock I shall builld my church? Wasn't it Peter who spoke with authority when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles? Isnt Peter the one who is mentioned more than any other apostle in the BIble? Isnt Peter always mentioned first before any other apostle? Btw Peter refuses it and so does the pope. We have never nor will we start bowing down in worship to the pope. And if we did it was toward his office.
