The vanity in Protestantism
Sometimes, we are blessed to see the vanity in Protestantism. Protestants often use Luke 23: 39-43, the good thief’s plea, to avoid taking Catholicism seriously: “‘Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.’ ‘Indeed, I promise you;’ He replied, ‘today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” Protestants think that passage proves their position’s […]
Jesus was raised up by idol-worshipers.
Most of us overlook a key point about The Crucifixion: Jesus was raised up by idol-worshipers. God is so powerful that satan and his demons must obey Him. The Crucifixion also lets us know that every non-Catholic allegiance is to earthly powers. The miraculous mystery: Those who worshiped earthly entities were the ones who raised […]
Connect the dots! Be Catholic! Try it!
Here’s a great mental exercise! Connect the dots! Be Catholic! Try it! Start with Dot One: There are over 300 prophecies predicting the coming of Jesus, God’s promised Messiah. The prophecies are very specific, telling us clearly from which People, Tribe, and House He would come. The date and place of birth were clear. That […]
Does Protestantism prevent proportion?
Many dislike The Catholic Church. Their allegations lack both balance and substance. Does Protestantism prevent proportion? Many lower-end Protestants, particularly professionals, perennially pontificate “The Catholic Church is bad!” They find reasons among the Talking Points within their 43,000 groups and denominations, each invented by a Protestant man with a Marketing Plan put forth as “Theology”. […]
Today’s Readings warn the disobedient.
New Testament teachings echo God’s Word in the Old Testament. Today’s Readings warn the disobedient. Jer 7, 23:28 includes: “This is what I commanded My people: Listen to My voice; then, I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may […]
The first prediction of Protestants
The first prediction of Protestants in The New Testaments is in Luke 2: 33-35. “The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a […]
Pastor Bob’s great, yawning gap
The heart of every Pastor Bob beats with the refrain “I am just as good as any multi-millionaire mega-church minister. And, I am just as good as some penniless Catholic priest who takes vows of Celibacy, Obedience, and Poverty. My denomination and I are just as good as any!” Catholics ask, “How can a denomination […]
Heaven is for the living
All religions are not the same. Jesus Founded One Church. He did not found a single Protestant denomination. Jesus did not come to “make nice”. His avowed intent was to save the souls of the obedient. He promised to turn family members against each other. He vowed to separate wheat from weeds, sheep from goats, […]
The test of time. Protestantism?
Prayer and study have led most Christians to believe that Jesus is The Son of God. He, alone, fulfilled The Prophecies. Jesus walked on water, raised the dead, fed the 5,000, cured the sick, drove money-changers from the Temple, said “thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church”, was crucified, died, buried, […]
St. John says “Be Catholic!” 4
A new look at this passage shows that St. John says “Be Catholic!” 4 times! “How,” one must ask, “could anyone read this passage and not be Catholic?” 1 Jn 3:22–4:6 “Beloved: We receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And his commandment is this: we […]
