What a great visual for the endless schism that is protestantism

We know from the Bible that angels rejoice over every sinner who repents (Luke 15:10). We also know that in heaven, the saints will be like the angels (Matthew 22:30). Therefore, if angels are aware of what happens on Earth, the saints who are like them can also hear our prayers.

Going to post this every Sunday in the hopes that critics of the Catholic Church would at least be informed about what we do and don’t believe. In a typical Sunday Catholic Mass, we say the name of +Jesus 12 times, “Lord” 19 times, God 15 times, and phrases like “lamb of God” “Holy Spirit” “Father” or “Christ” another ≈20 times The congregation says the name of Mary TWICE, once in reference to her giving birth to Jesus, and once asking her and all the angels and saints (“and you, my brothers and sisters”) to pray for us (“pray for me to the Lord, our God”), unless her name is mentioned in the Gospel reading. The first half of Mass is about God’s word (Old Testament, Psalm, New Testament, and Gospel readings); the second half is entirely about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sake. The Mass is the pinnacle and purpose of Christian faith, and the Eucharist is the source and summit of life. There’s nothing more important in Christian practice.

Blessed Fulton Sheen tried to warn us...

Don’t bother with denominations. Just be Christian.

Ryan constantly asks what happens when God asks us why He should let us into heaven. Which means we’re not in heaven when we die. We’re in an intermediary state that is not quite heaven and not quiet hell. pov you believe in purgatory. (Pic unrelated)

It's clear that prayers for the dead was a Jewish practice, hence what occured in Maccabees. So, given that it was a practice at the time, if it was wrong, why didn't Jesus or any of the apostles ever condemn it in the gospels in the Epistles? Food for thought.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

1 Timothy 3:15. the church is the pillar and ground of the truth Not the Bible. The church. You're welcome.

@MJKelleyII, if you follow the Jews who followed Jesus, you won't have a problem with the Scriptures they held to be the written Word of God. But because you follow Rabbinic Judaism's rejection of the Canon of the first Jews who followed Jesus (the Disciples and Apostles, who were all 100% Jewish), you make the commonly made mistake. Which "THE JEWS" do you mean when discussing the canon? - The canon of the Sadducees had 5 books in it. They are a sect of "The Jews" who rejected Jesus. They were the stewards of the Temple in the days of Jesus. Do you mean those "the Jews." When reasoning from the Scriptures with them, Jesus stuck to books they accepted. - The Pharisees' canon had more. They are another sect of Jews who rejected Jesus. Do you mean these "The Jews." Their Bible is different from the other "The Jews." They are the predecessors of the Rabbinic Jews, who rejected the canon of a 3rd group of Jews. - The canon of the Apostles was the LXX. They are the Jews who followed Jesus. In this way, the stewardship of the Word of God is retained by the Israel of God (the Messiah and his followers). Thus, to reject their canon in favor of Jesus-rejecting Jews (as you do) is a huge error.

Most of Protestantism asserts that faith alone in Christ is what saves us. If this is the case, why are they so against Catholicism? Catholics have faith in Christ. It seems to me, they just don't like us and want someone to hate.

Before Protestantism existed all Christians prayed to Mary.

The guy arguing with me about Catholicism is a furry who, from the looks of it, is looking for 18+ people and his "door is always open".

The Mass is apostolic Christianity

Its funny when Protestants agree that there are different levels of veneration/honor when it helps their argument, but claim there is no distinction when arguing with Catholics. The double standard is palpable.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

No air of superiority from me. Its clear you're being dishonest, as you say I have burden of proof, then when I offer to provide it, you ad hom and say you don't want the proof I'm willing to provide, because you can make your own conclusions. So, in reality, you're just wasting everyone's time asking for refutations, because even when provided, you say you don't want them anyway.

But sure. If we want to address the debate topic. I would argue any competing religion that draws someone away from the true faith in the true God is inherently demonic, as it serves the demonic purpose of separating someone from eternal salvation.
