In which way would you prefer is the best way I should be searching? I do see-and I can read what your Church claims you are taught-you claim you are bible teaching students, 9 inches claims the bible isn't enough to know Christ.
So which is it?
You could be one person out of the billions of Catholic's there is on this planet, that actually believes in Catholic teaching, you could be that only person who obeys their every command-and you could know the bible upside down, but the truth is-your belief's are not spirit filled teachings, just like 9 inches a born Church believer, he/she had never heard from God, and every time I have asked this same question, none of you-have heard a whisper of the Holy spirit that teaches us through the Word of God.
You can only see me picking on your Church-but you can't see me, learning, since I have been around on this forum I have been learning about the differences we all have, and how, it is important to walk with God-know God, and why?
So it isn't condemning it's a sole interest-to know how the bible describes the world and its end time prophesies, sadly to you, but in righteous, the New World Order Church is falling into place, just the way Christ had said it will happen.
you are condemning from hearsay... you just go to your Protestant sites and copy whatever is there and imaging they are correct about Catholicism simply because they are Protestants. if you wish to condemn the Catholic Church as you have certainly been doing, then the least you can do is start to read up what Catholics believe.

start here http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM
Start from the beginning and condemn if you must.


9ince never said one can't know of Jesus through the Bible, instead he has taught you the biblical teaching that the fullness of the Christian revelation is found in the Bible and the apostolic tradition as it clear in 2 thess.


lastly I happen to know a lot of Catholics who also believe rightly and practices rightly and I an convinced that 9ince is such.

I too have heard from God's holy spirit, he has spoken to me through scripture, through the apostolic tradition, through the Church Jesus established, in my heart, in worship and through my daily circumstances. not just through the Bible alone.

lastly you Protestant didn't begin eschatology, it has always been there.

No. It's not. It's Hellenistic. The kind of Prieathood Catholicism practices is Hellenistic. Celibacy in Priesthood is Hellenistic not Biblical.
no sir, the priesthood the Church practices is Christian..

celibacy is itself a Christian thing even though it is also found among some jews,.

Of course no, they are not heretic. But let not forget the fact that no man is perfect.
no man is perfect but did the entire Christian Church immediately and in everywhere fall into heresy? did Jesus fail in his promise to be with his Church or did the Holy spirit fail.


I can understand individuals failing, but to agree with the current Protestant teachings you have to believe the whole Church, everyone, for 1500 years were heretics.

The issue is not perfection, the issue is truth.

the early Christians were those taught by the apostles and their closest disciples, they weren't insincere people but Christians in the truest sense of the word. They transmitted the Christian faith as clearly as they received it and they (many times unanimously) teach the truth as clearly as they had received it.... I think it is a pity that the modern day Protestant thinks that faith which the early Christians bear witness to as apostolic and which was believed everywhere is now considered heresy in Protestantism.



if for 1500years the entire Christian Church was all wrong, then it makes me wonder if the Protestant believe that the holy spirit started working in the 16th century.

if the Spirit has always been at work in the Church then, it is the modern Protestant who has perverted the word of God with his own personal interpretation.

thanks a lot....


some take it as a Thorn in their flesh, tell them about something and they quickly scream " that's old testament"
the old testament is pretty important to me and part of how I interpret scriptures, the old testament is the context with which I read the new.


maybe this will give you an idea of how I learnt the old testament, watch past the introduction part.

Uben you may not see me learning about the Catholic Church-but the truth is, I am learning about the Church, maybe it isn't the way you expected me to learn-but I am learning..
Uben the net is full of stuff-you may not like what people are saying about your Church-but it's the Church people don't agree upon, they say things about my Church too, Uben it's not the Church building I am concerned about. it's the idolatry in the teaching-and why teach against Christ-when the Church is Christ, not the building, not the people first, but Christ first.
Sometimes we all have that habit, bringing something, other then Christ to the altar, something that we feel is more important to us-but we brought nothing into this world-and surely we won't be taken it out, after we die.
It's Idolatry: against Christ-Paul describes the origin of idolatry in {Romans 1:21-25}
So don't walk away feeling like someone had ripped your heart out, we cant expect people to agree with any Church-I don't look at this, as an insult, I see an awakening on both sides of the fence-either on the inside or on the outside-you can't expect everybody to bow down to Catholicism-this isn't about which Church building stood up the longest, Christ is the head of the body-and the body is the people, without the people there's nothing to be pride off.
Heaven and Earth will pass away, but His Word will always stay.
you claim to be learning, but of course your sole interest is to find a way to condemn.

you'll only look for whatever confirms your bias.

I have read the New Testament, Paul, Ignatius, Polycarp, Eusebius and others. Are these not early Christians, although Eusebius is much later but he gave one of the most early and detailed history of early Christianity.
so you read them and consider them heretics like some others do?

To canonize saints are not the ways of pentecostals Catholics should also accept that.
To pentecostals, Saint Valentine is seen as one good man who lived in the past whose legacy should be emulated just like Apostles Peter, Paul and Stephen and nothing more
you guys are happy to celebrate a good man worthy of emulation but you are the first to criticize Catholics for declaring a person good and worthy of emulation.

its either inconsistency or hypocrisy or you guys just love criticising Catholics

Hmmm. You don't even know the history of your church and you talking others. Go and find out about your church first before coming online and condemning others because they are not catholic. Am I surprise? No! Why? So it happens when people have contrary view on the catholic church in time past they have to be killed and burnt. Yes killed. Go find out what the church did to Jan Hus a Czech priest, go find out what they did to Tyndale. The horror the church committed in the days of the catholic inquisition. The number of matyrs the church killed. Martin Luther escaped it after many attempts attempts (thanks to then king of Germany who gave him protection) go and read and know the history of your church first.
Tyndale was killed by Protestants under Henry viii, Jan Hus was condemned for heresy by the Catholic Church but was delivered to the state, the state sentenced him and executed him according to the law.


what are you crying about?

Lawyers are not expected to be moral. Preists are
the question is about laws, the law protect privileged information and the priest in the confessional is privileged information.

secondary it is immoral for a priest to go about revealing the sins their congregation confessed to God in their presence, it is also a crime punished by excommunication.

it is morally imperative to keep privileged information as privileged.

in the law of evidence , a privilege is a rule of evidence that allows the holder of the privilege to refuse to disclose information or provide evidence about a certain subject or to bar such evidence from being disclosed or used in a judicial or other proceeding. There are a large number of such privileges recognised by the judicial system, some stemming from the common law and others from statute law. Each privilege has its own rules, which often vary between jurisdictions.
The effect of the privilege is usually a right on the part of a party or witness to a case, allowing them to refuse to produce evidence in the form of documents or testimony from the person entitled to the privilege. For example, a person can generally prevent their attorney testifying about the legal relationship between attorney and client, even if the attorney were willing to do so. In this case the privilege belongs to the client and not the attorney.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privilege_(evidence)

The clergy–penitent privilege , clergy privilege , confessional privilege , priest–penitent privilege , clergyman–communicant privilege , or ecclesiastical privilege is a rule of evidence that forbids judicial inquiry into certain communications (spoken or otherwise) between clergy and members of their congregation. The law recognises certain communication as privileged and not subject to otherwise obligatory disclosure; for example, this often applies to communications between lawyers and clients. In many jurisdictions certain communications between a member of the clergy of some or all religious faiths (e.g., a minister, priest, rabbi, imam) and a person consulting them in confidence are privileged in law. In particular, Catholics are required to confess sins to priests, who are unconditionally forbidden by Church canon law from making any disclosure, [1] a position supported by the law of many countries, although in conflict with civil law in some jurisdictions. [1] It is a distinct concept from that of confidentiality (see non-disclosure agreement). The protection of the clergy–penitent privilege relationships rests on one of the more basic privileges as strong or stronger than the similar clauses to confidentiality between lawyer and client.
According to former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, Warren Burger, "The clergy privilege is rooted in the imperative need for confidence and trust. The... privilege recognizes the human need to disclose to a spiritual counselor, in total and absolute confidence, what are believed to be flawed acts or thoughts and to receive consolations and guidance in return." [6] A pastor has a duty to hold in confidence any information obtained during a counseling session. A pastor who violates this trust might be on the losing end of a suit for an invasion of privacy or defamation. [7]

Mr man, here is the Guardian title in bold:

And it is a fact. Why would one allow a child molester to go scott free?
the guardian clearly adds "in confession" which is absent from the op, the guardian also quotes the bishop correctly and the op doesn't.



of course a criminal should not go unpunished but the Church is not an arm of the police nor is privileged information a place to go snooping. the law doesn't require lawyers to report the crimes of their client nor should priests be forced to report sins penitent confessed to God that is privileged information, gat it?
