    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Then you are not reading everything I write, because the next sentence reads "Jesus is all of mankind's saviour. Jesus is the one I believe in. " If you're going to just cherrypick and misquote me to perpetuate dischord, then I am done here. This argument is becoming a distraction from Jesus...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Not once have I asked anyone to believe in Popes, Mary or Saints. I have simply explained what the general belief is and repeatedly stated none of them are necessary for salvation. You are letting your hatred of the RCC blind you to my personal belief.

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Maybe you should read this; It sums up my view on denominational bickering perfectly; Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. 47But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him. 48And He said to them, “Whoever...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Does that even need answering? Jesus is all of mankind's saviour. Jesus is the one I believe in. RCC, Episcopalian, Orthodox, Baptist. Methodist, Born again etc are just manmade labels and are about as important to me as the badge on the front of my car (not at all, just to clarify)

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Let's dig into this a little further - your reply interests me and is worth of answers that may surprise you. Firstly, the Pope..... Did you know that there are in fact several of them? The RCC has one, but so do various Orthodox branches. Therefore the Pope that is being referred to is more...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Matt 16 15-16 My faith allows me to believe that even if we disagree on this subject, if both of us are...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    You are not God and I do not answer to you. Nor do I answer to the Pope any more than you would answer to your pastor.

    Amen to that! And thankyou for your warm welcome. Yes South Australia is quite lovely. Adelaide is known colloquially as the 'City of churches' because of the proliferation of the many denominations in the early days of it being built. I live on another part of South Australia that is not...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Oh come now, don't be so precious. You are correct in that this is not a RCC defense forum, but you are clearly taking an attack position..... And I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't find milk offensive - he ate and drank like we all do. Remember, hating and berating Catholics doesn't bring you...

    The shroud of Turin... Authentic or fake???

    There are documentaries available online regarding the shroud. While the inital carbon dating said it was from the middle ages, it has since been discovered the area the sample for testing was taken from had been repaired with interwoven fibres. This means that the original cloth was repaired...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Catholicism is a cradle to grave faith. Jesus is the centre of the faith, just like in any other church. The (belief is that the) Pope is the elected descendant of Peter, whom Jesus gave authority to. Do we worship the Pope? Most definitely not. Do we listen to him, of course. But like any...
