seriallink: *Shaking my head*

Interesting!

Matthew15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me; 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.

frosbel:

Very sad to see people idolising the Man of Sin spoken about by Paul.

Boomark: And they don't see anything wrong with it because they only read bulletins.

frosbel: [size=13pt]5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[c]” - Luke 4:5-8[/size]

Anyigala:

This is becoming very childish and silly. So you scanned through the internet to copy random pictures you are very much aware does not support whatever it is you are trying to accuse Catholic Church of.

Those seminarians prostrating are been ordained as priest. It’s symbolises their unworthiness for the office they are to be assume and their dependence upon God and the prayers of the entire Church for their success in there new ministry.

Pope John XXIII was consecrating the Host and everyone was kneeling behind him. It is what every Catholic does during Eucharistic prayer because we believe that after the prayer, the host is no longer host but true body and blood of Christ (John 6). So, they were not worshiping Pope if it’s what you are driving at. They knelt in prayer in the presense of Jesus Chrit in the Eucharist.

We also pray for the dead as well. Unless you think it is Idol worshipping also. Yes, the people kneeling in front of Pope John Paul’s picture were praying for his repose and his intercession. That picture was from World Youth day 2011 in Madrid where more than 2 million young catholic from all over the world gathered to pray and share there faith. Pope John Paul II died in 2005 and that picture was taken last year. I don’t know your issue with people walking past Pope John Paul’s Statue, Pope John Paul XXIII blessing the Bishops during the 2nd Vatican council, the election of Popes or their Mitre (Hat).

Oh, do you also have problem that the Pope was been carried on a Chair - probably a very sick man too. Or that people were cheering and greeting him. Maybe you will rather he was in a convoy of 30 cars or on a private jet.

You lifted the pictures from websites that actually explained what was happening, but no... common sense will not be allowed to mess up your anti catholic rant.
I have been on nairaland for about three months and you alway have something negative to say about Catholic Church. I don’t have problem with your negativity but when it bothers to making wild and completely insane accusations, it becomes very unchristian. It’s bad to judge others, but to add false accusation as well is very sinful. Your anti Catholic rants are becoming a poison and it will do you alot of good to snap out of it quickly. Stop reading all these anti catholic books and myths floating around the internet. The Church is almost 2000 years and gate of hedes will NOT prevail againts it. Bigger and more powerful treats have come and gone, Frosbel is a small potatoes.

Boomark: Concerning the 1st and 3rd picture, if it were those defending private jets, they will ask you "do you want him to trek just because he is a Christian?"

teeo:

LOL, u no well oo.

Which do you prefer, using money to buy private jet or using ur fellow man as a jet.
