Spiritually Screaming, Catholics are Christians!?
Catholics are Christians. How hard is that to understand?
I can not find many, many, many websites impartial (keyword = fair, sites like Jesus-is-Savior, and Jack Chick does not count) who say Catholics, along with the Orthodox are the first Christians.
Catholics do not worship Mary, saints, or the Pope. They tell us what you worship.
- What is your opinion of Catholics call themselves Christians?
- Why do some people say that Catholics are not Christians?
- Non-Catholic Christians: their beliefs about Catholics?
- Why Does It As Catholics and Christians Seam Butt-head here.?
- Gregorian chant music is spiritually safe? For Type Pentecostal Christians Only! ?
<<<Jesus-is-Savior, And not Jack Chick Count>>>
THAT GET YOU ALL!
U.S. WORSHIP NOT SAY WHAT THEY GET IT!
The Bible is a Catholic Book, GOT IT!
Wow, that feels good!
GOD BLESS.
Amen to that, Your Holiness.
Edit @ princess:
"Catholics believe that Mary is holy, is that correct?"
Catholics believe that Mary was a mortal woman who, by their consent to take Christ deserves the worship. She is worshiped as part of the Trinity or otherwise.
"Catholics believe what the Pope tells them, is that correct?"
No. Have you noticed that many Catholics use birth control despite the instruction not to Pope Paul VI? The Popes are infallible only when he speaks "ex cathedra" on matters of faith and morals, thoughtful consultation with bishops and cardinals. These statements are very rare.
"Catholics believe in purgatory, is that correct?"
Yes Purgatory is Scripture.
"Catholics believe that sins must be confessed to a priest, is that correct?"
Sure it is. Christ instituted the confession and his apostles the power to perform for him. They are discussing with Christ?
I agree 100%.
Rene O is a Christian coffee shop that collects and selects the doctrine he wants to agree, based on what is best for him. True Christianity is not practiced in this way.
Anyway, who cares what the fundies falsely accuse us? So what if they are too ignorant and naive to realize they had their "divine book" in the first place? What if they spread a false doctrine of hate? That's their problem, not ours.
Yes, they are.
1. Catholics believe that Mary is holy, is that correct?
Yes, Mary is extremely Ghost, which is called "above the cherubim" and "more glorious than the Seraphim" (though it does not call Mary at the same level of God). Angels are all saints, and Mary, the mother of God, the Blessed Virgin is indeed holy, and this is the universal TEACHING OF THE CHURCH. Anyone who deny something as simple as this can be described as nothing more than a fundamentalist "Christian" who is both ignorant of the Church (yes, the Church, which was established on Pentecost 33 AD), and ignorant as that Scripture says about Mary.
The Scriptures themselves testify that: "And the angel falls, he said: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women", and again, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. "
2. Catholics believe what the Pope tells them, is that correct?
See below.
3. Catholics believe in purgatory, is that correct?
Yes they do, and I'm with you on this, that Purgatory is not a real place, etc. But I wonder where this fits the definition of "Christianity."
4. Catholics believe that sins must be confessed to a priest, is that correct?
Not necessarily. There is nothing that prevents confess their sins to God, in fact, if your reading of prayers of the Church (or at least the Orthodox Church), many of them are asking God to forgive our shortcomings. This does not mean that one should not confess your sins to God in the presence of a priest, as James tells us: "Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that ye may be healed" (James 5.16 ).
I wonder how many of those people who insist that Catholics are not Christians really understand that salvation is not to say the prayer …. it is a commitment to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, recognizing that he is a sinner and that the will of Jesus to be our payment for sins and confess Jesus and receive Him into your life is what makes you a Christian.
There is prayer, but is willing to commit your life to Him, and realize that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
So, like Catholics believe? If so, I think we will see in heaven someday!
I admire you, I snapped some time ago. What people come to these misconceptions? I can not believe people actually dare to argue with us about who and how we worship. Madness.
Catholics are not Christians set of bits is the most absurd fallacy there. It used to be ridiculous … until I saw that here about 50 times a day.
Please read about the history of the Church and the Catechism, folks. Keep up to ridicule. Even atheists are beginning to defend us (the proof that good things can come out of bad).
Who the hell cares what a group of mountain redneck think if they are Christians or not. If you are dumb enough to not realize Catholics are Christians, do you think have the mental capacity to really change their views (see below, for example)?
Of course, Catholics are Christians. They believe that Jesus is the redeemer of the human race and died and was resurrected. I think part of the doctrine a bit strange, but that does not change the fact that they are Christians, like all other denominations.
Yes, they are. who were the original Christians. any person who otherwise is ignorant.
it's okay, it's just ignorant of other Christians who think that Catholics are not Christians … the rest of us know who you are.
Rant, rant, Rant! : D

Do not worry ….. Catty Ky love Chick has another side http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index …
Yes, as sure as I'm from Kentucky …. Catholics are Christians!
Of course, the mother of churches (Orthodox and Catholics) are Christians. Anyone who thinks differently is either a bigot or ignorant of the truth.
I did not know was that cats can be bishops!
Pastor John
I know, I am a Catholic, therefore I'm a Christian. I believe in Christ and the dictionary definition says I am a Christian.
I would have thought that the definition of a Christian is someone who worships Christ. Of course, Catholics are Christians.
Catholics are definitely Christians. But I doubt if they are Christian fundies.
Some are, those who believe in Jesus as your personal savior, not because they are Catholic
THANKS! BTW, Mormons, as distorted as otherwise remain Christian. It only takes a belief in the divinity of Jesus.
Not only are you Christians, who are the reason Christianity is even today.
Thank you very much.
@ Molly: Her Italian mother aged 95 should be strong enough to be able to take the house;)
Dylan (((((( ))))))
I know;)
Thank you very much and a big Amen!
and see, though they have "said" you are a Christian and I'm not saying they are not, have not sought the truth as God tells us, is being seriously misled and deceived by the top of the church, shelter, t I that of the many "changes" made to the laws of God and the Word, nevermind the "evolution" of God's Holy Saturday, if the Bible Revelation, I urge you to read and interpret, because it is essential! ! that ye be not deceived, do not be armed with misleading arguments and excuses sidewinding til they actually believe they are telling the truth when in fact they are not … God bless and keep you …
Dear heart, please, I was raised Catholic, I was taught to worship Mary, I ignorant of my sister who was at Merrimack College in Andover Massachusetts, but my sisters taught me to worship Mary.
Catholics are taught to pray to the saints. As Christopher, Saint Jude, Mary, Mother of Jesus.
My mother 95 years old got mad at me a month ago.
She is Italian Catholic. I told him the God of the Bible is my truth.
She showed me the house enplaning that the Catholic Church and its priest was their God! YEAH ….
I would like to confirm its position, was raised a Catholic, Catholic school, the Sisters of Providence.
What is wrong and the Bible proves it. Pope proves nothing, trying not to be bad, just undo teachings of the Bible teaching so many of my old Catholic catechism,
I beg you, read the Bible. And pray for enlightenment.
The responses of fear, but all correct biblical, raised a Catholic, Catholic schools, Catholic nuns (Sisters of Providence)
Depends on how you define the Catholics. From my understanding, Catholics believe the pope is impeccable in its teaching and the worship of Mary. However, if you believe that Christ died for our sins, salvation by faith, not works, and his resurrection, I would say you are a Christian non-Catholic.
Christianity began as a Jewish sect.
The first country to adopt Christianity as the official religion of Armenia in the establishment of the Armenian Orthodox Church in 301.
The Catholic Church began its Inquisition in the 12th century and its fear of torture and executions and burning continued for 800 years, ending in Mexico in 1850. The Inquisition forced people to believe in God and the Catholic Church on pain of death.
Screaming does not change anything. Non-Catholic Christians no matter what you want to rotate. They follow a false gospel of works. They pray to Mary and the Saints. They believe in many things unbiblical as purgatory and the assumption of Mary.
I do not believe in God. Catholics say you can not have much money but have billions and never helps anyone and Christians believe in total rubbish and can not get their heads out of the fact that Jesus was Jewish, because Jesus did not start a religion exists.
religion is good: It brings a little more peace to this world, if anything they say is true is really true, I do not know.
DO Catholics worship Mary, saints, or the Pope, just
Um, no, Catholics are not Christians, who have different beliefs in different things that Christians do not agree with
has reached a point, but the Catholics of different beliefs that Christians however.
