Tibby,
You crack me up! It is obvious you are not interested in the truth, just defending a false paganistic religion. I had hoped you would be more concerned after reading the depth of paganistic practices incorporated by RCC, but NOOOOOOOO, you didn't.

sunodino, you grew up in the Catholic church, uh? Did you SLEEP through Sunday school or something? Read you list of false dourine, My question is DID YOU read them before copying and pasting them? You could have combined half of them into each other, making the list MUCH, MUCH shorter. Plus it would look more credible if you didn’t repeat the same thinks with different wording.
Did you sleep through your English class? I did read it, I put the list together, it is an excerpt from a paper I did years ago.
I am at least glad you read them, good for you! There is much much more.. It was my own research as well as experience with a DEAD RELIGION that encorporates PAGAN PRACTICES to get the MOST OUT OF THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM ESPECIALLLY POWER AND MONEY!
How is the Sign of the Cross a false doctrine?
You need to Check what the Catholic Church different Salvation as. Maybe YOU think we need to be a part of YOUR Church, but the Catholics do not feel that way. You tell us to get our heads out of the Catechism and start reading the Bible? Maybe you should consider getting your head in catechism, it might help your case if you started speaking the TRUTH!
The sign of the cross isn't the issue, it is this self blessing and genuflecting thing, as well as with so called holy water.
I DON'T HAVE [my]CHURCH, I am part of the entire body of Christ which includes all believers in Jesus as the savior, who have repented and been baptized in Jesus' name, and have been washed by the blood of the Lamb of God who (only can) takes away the sin of the WORLD. I believe the Bible is the only source of doctrine. The Bible interprets itself, it NEVER FAILS. It is complete. I believe in Acts 2:38, I believe that if I fall, I have a mediator who is the propitiation (the atoning victim) for my sin, ONCE AND FOR ALL. I believe that churches today have abandoned much of what the early church established and there is a slumber among the people. But the Church of Jesus Messiah is not bound and lives.
Please join that church and run from RCC.Do you read what you post? Most of that is you said was false, the rest of it was twisted. Is it possible to not repeat the same stuff everyone else has already said? The Catechism is 687 pages long., you’d think, if the Catholic Church was so evil, you people would have at least 680 pages worth of information to rant about the Catholics on, but NNOOOO, you people keep repeating the same stuff over and over. Makes me really wonder, when, in almost 2000 years of law and doctrine, all you can come up with is “Idolatry” and a few mistakes humans made to back up your claim that the Catholic Church is ungodly. If you are going to try and convert Catholics to Protestantism, try using FACTS! Of course, you are going to say I’m brainwashed and not ever listen to a word I’m saying. Because you will do what you always do, ignore or skip around our question when we speak against what you believe. Instead of attacking what we believe, why don’t you try to tell us why what you believe is SO much better, you catch more flies with honey and all, right? It might be easier for both of us if you told us what YOU believe, instead of trying to tell us what WE believe. Did you ever stop to thing that MAYBE we know a little bit more about what we believe than you? Is that perhaps a possibility?
I don't see that you really know what you have signed up for, but maybe you do! Sorry! However, let me say, much of my reply regarding doctrine came from the CURRENT CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA. There are scores of works from current and former RCC members that are honest and forthcoming. I have pictures of Pacelli and Montini, (later Pope Pius XII and Paul VI)sitting with the Nazi's signing the concordat. Not a pretty picture. Even Catholic pastors were executed because they would not go along with Hitler during that time.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED, RCC IS JUST GOING ALONG WITH THE WIND RIGHT NOW UNTIL IT CAN MAKE A BIG MOVE TO GET IT'S REFORMATION CHILDREN BACK. Most likely you will hear the POPE BLESS ISLAMIC RADICALS! RCC will do anything to get ALL THE POWER.
May I add, this whole thread started with a question, since Pope Paul II confirms evolution, do we need a new pope?
Answer: RCC does not need a new Pope.
