So a mere mortal (pope) who is a sinner has the right to pronounce someone a saint. Some many people are so blind. So much Idolatry in Catholic Church. Na only God fit save una.

Yes he does because saints are only pronounced by men
. There is no record anywhere of God pronouncing anyone as saint

Anybody who uses his cursed fingers and mouth to write or say rubbish about the Holy Catholic Church is not only a debased m0ron but an insane simpleton that must be in a psychiatric home.

The protestant churches who hates when Catholics asked saints to pray for them are quick to ask their sinful and mortal pastors to pray them.

They hate it when we call Holy Mary our mother but are quick to call their general overseer and his wife mummy and daddy.

They hate it when we put the images of Jesus Christ, Mary and Joseph but are quick to put the pictures of their General overseers, his wife and their pastors.

I have just one prayer for my Catholic friends. "I pray God in his mercy have mercy on you all especially those at the bottom of the carder (the ordinary church members)" this is because you don't know a jack about what catholism is truly all about.
The Vatican is a political stronghold used mainly to oppress the world in the crusade era, taking over territories and enslaving people!

Listen, Bowing to images is idolatry which is an abomination before God.

The Bible clearly states it that "Jesus is the way, the truth and the life ;no one cometh to the Father except through him." Jesus is also at the right hand side of God interceding on our behalf so please tell me why you have to go to the Father through mere mortals that will also be judged at the last day.!



Catholism is just another religion hiding under the shadow of Christianity.

Mind you, Jesus didn't come to start a religion, he came to show us the way to the Father and one of the promise he made while ascending was that he will send us the Holy Spirit to guide us, comfort us and show us what to do. Jesus never prayed through any man and he never taught us to pray dat way.

Catholics beware, the devil has taken over your religion.!!!

actually not just Catholics...anybody who feels she wants her prayer. Because Christ is alive she is alive in heaven. It is only her human body that died awaiting the resurrection. Her soul found worthy to behold the beatific vision- the presence of God. This is called the communion of saints...we the church militants here on earth still struggling are not caught off from our lived ones who died as friends of God...infact they even more inclined to present our prayers before God which in no way diminished the one mediatorship of Christ. Here we ask our friends and Pastors to pray for us...however I see it...this is also mediation, because we trust in the efficacy of their prayers. So just as we do here, we ask Mother now St. Theresa of Calcutta to pray for us. The idea of asking saints or holy men and women to pray for us was common among early Christians and pre-dated the Bible. In the catacombs one sees the inscription at the tomb of the martyrs asking their intercession...if Christ could say Abraham Isaacs and Jacob are alive then making the Heavenly Father, God of the living and not of the dead, then our faith in the church-the bride of Christ through her infallible teaching authorities bestowed on her by Christ in Matt. 16:18(first on St. Peter) and then in Matt. 18:18ff( on rest of the Apostles) is strengthened. It is same authority of binding and loosing the Catholic Church exercised in determining the canons of the scripture in councils of Hippo (393 A.D.) and carthage (397 A.D.) which she named the Bible and handed same to successor of St. Peter, Pope Damasus in Rome for approval. Their are procedure for enrolment of holy people in lists of saints(canonisation). I will dwell on that if you so eager for info and not bigoted ctiticism.

Except you can confirm that it was your church's GO who decreed the biblical canon in AD 382, or your church convened the synod of AD 393 or 397(Hippo, Carthage) that further confirmed the canon, then yes the Authority of the Catholic Church.

Jesus establised a church and gave it authority to bind and lose.That church continues to do so today just like we have governments who make and uphold laws. Except you can point to another church that does such.

the same way you call your pastors and knee before them saying 'pray for you' is the say way catholic say pray for them. or is the statement too complex to understand?

mountain of fire? though i don't condemn people religion or churches but una no suppose to dey talk. your church do not believe anything is natural. they believe everything has connection to their village place of birth. if a child is stubborn they will say is the devil. if you fight with your neighbour you will start invoking fire or him or her.
my boss is a mountain of fire's member or Pastor and some of his prayer point at times scares the devil himself. what happen to praying for your enemies repentant and not always consuming them by fire. who go envy you when you become rich when you ve killed all of them by fire. you shout fire for your enemy, do you know you are someone's enemy? if na like that enemies dey die then there won't be anyone on earth.

I wish I can meet u one on one, you will be convinced otherwise that catholicism is not what you think. The venerable Archbishop futon sheen, the first televangelist in America once remarked: fewer than hundreds hate the Catholic Church for what she is, but millions hate the church for what they think she is. This is made possible by tract authors and protestant fundamentalists who make a living from attacking the church...theirs is not about presenting fact rather bashing of the church.if you think that similarities of Catholic worship and rituals with paganism makes the church guilty of syncretism and that unqualified her as Christ's church, then the Bible which is a product of the church is fake...the book of Genesis is a hoax because the creation story is reminiscent of/or patterned according to the Babylonia's account of creation called Epic of Gilgamesh .Historical accounts prove that the epic of gilgamesh is older than the genesis account of creation. So according to you, Genesis is fraud and since is the foundation of our salvation history, every book that comes after it is mere fairy tales. ....if catholicism is wrong, then so is the Bible you read and base your faith on. So is Sunday worship. In vain is your ur belief that Christ is God. Useless is your Christmas n Easter celebration. Also useless is your calender because the present calender we follow was as a reform of Pope Gregory xiii in 1582...should I go on why even your Christian faith is a ruse if catholicm is a syncretic religion as you erroneously post here? A Faith that have survived several attempts by emperors and hostile nations to eradicate it in different centuries, in different countries, yet outlived her persecutors...many priest's n sisters have shed their bloods going to pagan lands to bring the gospel of Christ to them which one of the early Church Fathers' averred "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of Christianity"...I know you belong to one of this new generation church without history founded on the whims and caprice of one man, who may lie to u he got a calling from God, yet so are many splinter groups, 33k alone in the United States, we don't know how many in Nigeria. How can such groups claim to be following the scripture yet disobedience to Christ who prayed for unity of his church in Jn 17. If the Catholic Church has endured for 2 millennia then doesn't that tell you something about Christ's words to Simon Peter in Matt. 16:16-20?. At the time the books of the canons of the Bible was settled in 393 in Hippo and 397 in Carthage under the chairmanship of St. Augustine, the great African Bishop of Hippo, the Catholic Church founded by Christ had already had few popes.
