Wait, what? You know this personally? That's ... wow.
Look, I gotta tell you guys, the amount of Catholic-bashing here is just off the charts. Granted, the Jew-bashing looks to be on the upswing here as well so the anti-Catholic sentiment should drop in response, but come on. I'll admit I have no theological basis for my belief, but I kinda think that the Lord purposes us to fit into the Church we are best able to grow in, and some people are best suited to be Catholics, others not.
The heirarchal structure of the Catholic Church, I would feel stifled in it, but it works for others. And I'm sure Catholics would feel downright weird in my church where there isn't anything in the way of rituals at all. But we're all brothers in Christ and shouldn't be acting the way I'm seeing some do. And this is coming from someone who would be required to wear a yellow hat and badge when entering a Catholic Church according to their rules. Guys, it's one thing to disagree with someone, but when you get to the point where you flat-out tell people they're following the Devil or something, then you've gone too far. And of course, you usually see this from the people who have a large chunk of their posts discussing Catholics, just like the people here who have a quarter of their posts (or more!) discussing the the eeeeeevil Jews, Israel, or today's conspiracy theory. They're so invested in despising one thing that they end up looking foolish and non-Christian in the attempt.
I'm amazed there are any Catholics here considering the amount of abuse they're taking, and it's really a shame. I've learned a lot from Santo Subito, and he's explained his churches positions on various dogma with class and patience. It's some of the Protestants who aren't representing their viewpoint well. Or maybe they are, but they're letting their feelings run away with them.

"Do as I say, not as I do" is the law here. Apparently. 
As SantoSubito said, the ill-fated decision to turn this discussion into a "sticky" actually attracted more Catholics, ready to put up the coat of arms and defend their beliefs.
And yes, SantoSubito is an encyclopedia of knowledge. He's much younger than I am, and I feel stupid!
Cheers bud.

In response to this post I almost posted a cartoon from maybe a century ago that I Googled up which had a KKK member holding a bat with the word "votes" on it about to swing it at a mysterious malevolent clawed hand with the word "Rome" branded on its wrist that was reaching for a plot of ground with the word "USA" on it. The cartoon was clearly sympathetic to the KKK and was probably drawn by a member. When I looked at the link the cartoon came from, it was filled with so much virulent anti-Catholic hate and propoganda that I decided against posting it because it might have violated CC rules. What's scary is that some people here might agree with those sentiments.

Okay, THIS one I can answer. Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." The assumption (pun not intended) is that we do the praying and Yeshua is already there, we don't need a middleman. I personally disagree with Catholic dogma on this, it makes it look like God needs the help.
Is it not strange that people were worshiping a "queen of heaven" before Yahshua the Messiah was born?
Is the catholic church hiding behind the truth to deceive people?
Yahvah God was angry with those people, think not that he is not angered with the catholic church deceiving his people....
Revelation 18
Pleading for them to come out....
Glory to Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

You may be surprised to know, the ancient Israelites were largely polytheists, this is why all throughout the old testament they tended to worship other gods and after they were counquered by the babylonians and were exiled to babylon, they thought that their sufferings was due to the lack of devotion to Yahweh. The queen of heaven being referred to there is the ugaritic goddess known as asherah, whom many of the ancient Israelites believed her to be the wife and consort of Yahweh.
God chose Mary to be the mother of his son, not the Catholic Church, honor thy father and mother, do you live in accord with scripture and call Mary blessed?

It is sad to see you offer this explanation.
You quote a Commandment to support your delusion................
First ask yourself, do you live in accord to all of scripture, or just the bits that support your catholic religion?
By Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah
I strive to keep the 10 Commandments not for Salvation, but out of love and gratitude for my Salvation.
One thing this thread shows is that RoboOp and the rest of the administrations' fail on their part and that their willingness to participate in the bullying and harassment against Catholics on this site along with all the other ones who are doing the bashing. They are suppose to be leaders on this site and by posting this thread, they are definitely creating a stumbling block and actually encouraging and supporting the bullying and harassment against people who are Catholic. I can tell you the love of God is definitely not here and I would not even recommend this place to anybody at all. This place I view it is equivalent to an R or an X rated movie due to the hatred and hostility against those who are Catholics and this thread proves the admins are willing to play a role in the bullying as well. Every site always has bad apples but in this situation, the administrators such as RoboOp are acting like the bad apples as well and it is ashamed when you have people who are suppose to be leaders also contributing to bullying and harassment as well against people who are Catholic.
