Catholic church worships lucifer

[19lfm12]

Damian of Molokai is one of VERY few ppl made 'saints' by the Vatican....who actually LIVED what Jesus talked. Becoming one of the poor, living their life, loving them & dying as one of them.

Most of them were just very good at 'talking about God'......if that...! Or talking volumes about "charity', but leaving the dirty work to others, while hobknobbing with the rich.

Like....Mother Theresa......Jose-Maria Escriva (shudder!), & the like.

o all the protestants if catholics are so evil-why do you read our bible that we compiled in 394 A.D plus protestants do more damage then good look at our nation mostly protestants and yet we have abortions-contraception-and way more pedophiles with in the ranks of the protestant churches the only problem is that you guys are so varied there is over 50'000 different denominations but as a whole its pretty frightening -and yes the catholics did compile the bible research it

oh sure and any religion that isn't your worships lucifer too. and me, an atheist, I worship something that I don't believe in? right...

Christ rebuked his apostles when they asked 'who will be 1st in the kingdom of heaven' -as that reeked of ego & a 100% misunderstanding of His message!

Perhaps if those who have purported to be the successors to Peter would comprehend and LIVE Jesus' teachings - instead of making a living off of them......

...then our world would not be in the horrid shape it is in.

Merely holding a human office does NOT equal special standing before God, nor automatic holiness.

You worship my butt.

he can't be named a saint because he believes in abortion, euthanasia, and stem-cell research on live fetuses. He is definitely an OBAMANATION in the eyes of the Lord.

Saint Father Damien, pray for us! What a great day to be from Belgium! My sister, Sandy used to live in Hawaii as well as my brother and my ex-fiancee.  They were very impressed with the devotion to Fr. Damien there, and brought it back to Indiana. Well, God bless America! American finally has a saint from HAWAII !
