Why Do People Hate Catholic Church So Much? by evablisse(f): 7:34am On Oct 18, 2014
This life is a war. It is almost unbelievable that christians are fighting christians and muslims are taking a good laugh. So many people left Catholic church because they didn't ask questions, They were brainwashed by one thing or the other. One thing about life is that we all have somewhere we fit in. Something that actually meets our desire and satisfy us. Believing in Holy Trinity and Virgin Mary can't make Catholics stupid. Everybody's fighting for one place- Heaven. And trying to make people become part of your church isn't a healthy christian living. I've met people who tell me that they were once a Catholic as if being a Catholic is actually a crime. I don't blame them because they are with the winning team. Church is not a competition for crying out loud rather making heaven is. It doesn't matter where you belong, just be there in good faith.
This bible that many people have republished to suit their beliefs all started with the Catholic Church and if they come out tomorrow to say that bible is a lie, then it is. So many people left the Catholic Church without asking questions. Well, I'm not here to make you feel that you took a bad decision, I'm only here to make you have a rethink. God bless you.

For a start, I have seen more hate among the muslim sects like sunni and shia than I see among christians. But that's btw,

As for the said "hatred" for Catholics, all I see is the manifestation of Christ's word in John 15:18-19 and Rev 12:17.

Again I believe people don't hate "The Catholic church" most of them only hate what they thought is the Catholic church.
Re: Why Do People Hate Catholic Church So Much? by Tallesty1(m): 7:51am On Oct 18, 2014
I will start by saying that No One hates us.... They just don't agree with the teachings of our church.
And I don't blame them. If the teachings and practices of a church cannot speak for it then it deserves all the attacks.

Any Christian who strongly believes that the Bible is the guide for faith and practice will not like catholic church.(even me) Why?

Todays Catholic has departed from the "official traditions" of the Catholic Church. For example, the church does not "officially" teach Catholics to worship Mary, but rather to honor and revere her(which I still do not agree with). However, through observation, it is abundantly clear that many Catholics do in fact worship Mary(My family used to).

Jesus warned against vain repetitious prayers. They have no weight with God. He detests them.
I'm sure you say the rosary.

Praying to dead saints is blasphemous. And many others.

The adoption of many pagan beliefs and practices to facilitate gaining pagans easier as converts, then using said teachings to frighten people into submission to them is what I dislike about catholic but I can't leave them because there is not a single church in Nigeria that does not have flaws. Name it and I will tell you where they err.

One funny thing is that even our accusers are guilty of thesame thing. There is a degree of ignorance amongst us all.. How? All of us just go with what our churches tell us without question which is wrong. Scriptures says in Acts 17:11 "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." how many Christians do this?

Talking about bible, I am sure you do not know how The catholic church kept the Bible out of the hands of other people, so they wouldn't learn that they were being lied to by the church about what it actually teaches. I'm also sure you don't......shocked......lipsrsealed

e don too much already.

My point is, no one hates catholic church but many disagree with their teachings.

You're right, that's why I said that most of them that left never asked question. They only assumed.

Re: Why Do People Hate Catholic Church So Much? by priscaoge(f): 7:57am On Oct 18, 2014
I think the word "hate" is a little harsh, even though it feels that way at times.



Most non Catholics are not even worried about Catholics, they're just neutral and probably get along fine with their Catholic neighbors. Even if they do disagree with something(s) about Catholicism, it still doesn't mean hate

I have been mixed up with anti Catholics(Am not a Catholic tho) which are a different case entirely but I still wouldn't necessarily use the word hate, and with the case of anti Catholics, you need to remember that a very large percentage of them are actually just ex Catholics on a hissy fit about trying to find something evil about the Church so they can justify their departure from it.

The overwhelming majority of non Catholics seem to have little or zero issue with the Catholic Church. The arguments are always the same, papal authority, organized religion, Pogatory,Saying the Rosary,Worshipping/Honouring Mary, Rev fathers and wives, Mary, blah blah, blah because they don't believe in ur faith!

The 'hate' I used here is for the church itself and not its people. Besides, it's the people that are leaving. The church will always remain there. I get your points though. Thanks for contributing.

because the catholic theology is d brain work of satan. And christians are to hate wat has satan's autographs.
Re: Why Do People Hate Catholic Church So Much? by mmsen: 8:53am On Oct 18, 2014
People hate the gross hypocrisy of the church - primary being the Jesus story and the luxury of the See of Rome.

The abuse cases don't help.

Allied with a history of irresponsible advice you begin to understand some of the hate.

P.S.
Muslim factions squabble as well. Any group claiming to speak for god will always fragment - it's a power game.

You can't say that. The same members leave but the Church remains. You need more clarification.

I don't hate catholics,just that i don't agree with some of their doctrines . . Ok let say for example,catholics believe in PURGATORY(a place i whc after u die a sinner but as a believer,u wil go to before goin to heaven)whc is more satanic than holy,i mean it's so misleading

You can't compare those old cases with now. People were more or less lost on how to go about with christianity that they had to do so many things to prove their faith. This time, it's different because they have understood. Nothing comes easy.

Yes, the 'it' is even preferable cos it's one church.

Purgatory is more or less like a place where you atone for your sins. Not believing in it shouldn't be a reason for you to call it satanic cos so many people's hopes lie there. Be realistic. You believe in heaven and hell without seeing it.

eiya c wat catholism has done to d belief of my sister . .

The bible stated that you can only ask for forgiveness while on earth and nothing,

the reason i said it's rather satanic and misleading is that many ppl wil b wallowing in sin,tinkin dat after death,dey'l b in purgatory and not hell.

When we talk about church,we are actually referring to the worshippers and not the empty building. The use of Hate in ur post is strong
