* The writings of certain Church Fathers say flatly that Peter not only was in Rome, but died there. The Vatican can show you his bones. Hence, the story that he was Bishop of Rome.

* Catholicism's origins were in Judea at the time of Christ. The Fourth Century was the time that Constantine elevated the Roman Church to the status of the "State Religion".

* All power given to the RCC were granted by Jesus Christ in Matt 16. The RCC's foundations are on Jesus Christ and the 3-legged stool. 1)Bible 2)Teaching Magisterium 3)God's word in oral form, or Tradition (as opposed to Man' tradition-little t)

* The RCC jealously guarded God's people from error and only threatened those heretics who would not repent. The Mosaic Law put heretics to death by stoning. We at least gave them a chance to repent.

* The Catholic Church was responsible for the assemblying of the original Christian Bible and selected which books were allowed. She has always defened the Scriptures vehemetly and will not allow God's people to read incorrect or heretical texts.

I said, "But, what fool you people are". I meant to say, "But what fools you people are". The reference to being "stupid" has to do with the "fools", which is not just you, but any SA Fundi who can't grasp who their real enemies are. When you insinuated that giving me more detail would "serve no purpose", thought I would follow suit with the "mental workout" comment. Strickly "Tit for Tat". Do I really need a "license to practice telepathic psychology".

Neil:Re your recent comments: "...such a careless reading...","...informing you in more detail would serve no purpose...","...avoid arguing like a thwarted toddler...". What was that about abuse again?

I do agree that the Doctrine of "Justification by Faith Alone" is a heresy and if you understood the truth but held to a heresy the result would, without the Grace of God, be Hell. My "Whining", as you call it, has to do with how the entire Church of Christ, in all it's parts, confronts it's enemies in the 21st century. Notice, this isn't the 16th Century any more, nor should we be acting toward each other as if it were. The Pope and I are not your enemies, Speaker Pelosi, Harry Reid, Obama, and the hords of Leftist's are. You don't want to be involved with us...well I for one, don't want you either, but your enemies are mine and mine are yours....we should act together but stay apart, in order to insure our mutual survival...end of story. I have every right as a Child of God and as a living being to dissent from any teaching.

Number Two: Deport any Muslim that even hints at having a problem with our Nation and our Laws.

Number Three: Isolate any Muslim Military personnel into areas where they don't need to be armed. Expel any trouble makers immediately upon exhibiting an "attitude".

Number Four: Give up "Politcal Correctness"

Number Five: Impeach Obama and his motely crew....immediately.

Number Six: Return to the US Constitution as the sole rule of American law. Return to Jeffersonian Democracy and demand a smaller Central Govt and a return to "State Rights".

"...Christians share 0% of the Roman Catholic faith and 0% of their goals... whereas some lesser percentage..."

MyResp: Not only confused logically, but all together, totally, and Galactically wrong.

MyResp: And one excellent reason why I will not join hands, or anything else for that matter, with Neil's "Brotherhood of Bigotry". But, what fool you people are. Here we are attacked on all sides by Secular Humanists, Atheists, Pagans, and Islamist Facists and you reject, not just Catholicism, but Orthodoxy as well. Well...have at it, and tell how 10% of Christianity faired against 100% evil. You don't have to agree with beliefs or even have Catholic friends...just quit being stupid and rally with the people who share 90% of your faith and 100% of your goals.
