Even if that was the case, it's still not smart to alienate the biggest sector of your base.....

Not True

Pray to the Father in the name of the Son

It do appear that way.

Is it common to take pictures during a service as opposed to listening to it? Being a heathen, I am not sure how these things work.

Are Catholics cannibals as they eat the body and blood of Jesus? Where do they get this body and blood of Jesus? How did they get this? What chunk are they munching on these days?

LOL

I always though the Catholic hymn "Sons of God" sounded like cannibalism. The refrain is:

"Sons of God, hear His holy Word,
Gather 'round the table of the Lord,
Eat His Body, drink His Blood,
And we'll sing a song of love:
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia!"

The whole "Eat His Body, drink His Blood, And we'll sing a song of love" part sounds pretty gruesome and cultish to me.

Not if you live in some parts of the South Pacific Keith.

When I was a kid, my family were good friends with a French family, who we met in Cincinnati. Marcel worked for Safran Aircraft Engines on their project with GE Aerospace called CFM. After that project, the whole family moved to Indonesia, where Marcel worked with the Indonesian government in developing their air industry. He talked the president of Indonesia into giving him protected, guided access to some of the wild parts of New Guinea and the Komodo Islands, which New Guinea owned. He has some crazy stories about the stuff the natives did, which as I'm typing I think I probably shouldn't share here, but should at a convention, where only adults are around.

Sorry for the tease.

Old Luther is helping Savell become straight with the Lord.

Looks like Savell just let loose one of his zingers from the priests reaction.

12 years catholic school, lots of pedophile priest. Arch bishop just moved them around and was complicit. Not a fan. Cardinal O’Hara High Springfield PA. Look it up.

Read the Bible and Jesus’s last supper .It will explain it all.

Apologies to you Bruce...we sure took over your thread with a lot of nonsense.

The Catholic Church, it’s leadership, and it’s members have all erred in judgment and committed sinful acts over the past centuries, but the Catholic Church remains an important spiritual and moral authority to almost a quarter of of the world’s human population. It’s great to discuss and even critique history and spirituality and religion with other people that are trappers and love the outdoors, but some of the anti Catholic and anti Christian sentiments expressed in these posts are ignorant, hateful, and hurtful.

There's a reason Jesus had his disciples... and why Simon Peter was the first pope...

Simon Peter was definitely not the first pope. He was a Jew who believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Just because Jesus told him that He would build His church on this rock - does not mean he was catholic. The catholic church sure likes to claim this though. Quickly forget who flogged and crucified him.

I am definitely not anti-Christian but some of the Catholic beliefs are just crazy and not biblical.

Bruce I understand what Jesus was telling those present at the last supper - but you have to admit, He didn't cut and dice Himself up and serve His own flesh and blood as physical table fare. I firmly believe in the redemptive work of Jesus and believe even through the shedding of HIs blood my sins are atoned for and by His stripes there is healing. I believe in communion as well - just don't believe like catholics do and I am ok at that because I am sure there are lots of Christians who don't follow my ideas about scripture as well. I work out my salvation with fear and trembling as scripture calls me to.

I just think he may actually believe that, Treed. LOL. He did after all say that it was not a symbol.

You better go back to your bible Treed, and read where Jesus tells the apostles at the last supper about the bread and wine “This is my body, and this is my blood.” Also, Jesus clearly appointed Peter The leader, the “Rock,” the Pope of the Christian church in the bible!
