I known what Scripture says. It says, "And I say to you: You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld will not prevail against it." Now I know heretics scour the scripture to find passages that are intended to confuse people about what Jesus clearly said. You actively work to obfuscate what Jesus says simply because you think the Catholic church is wrong.

Yes practices change not dogma. A bishop or even the Pope cant change a dogma such as the real presence of the Eucharist. What are you not able to comprehend here?

It literally says "formally"....

I like how unhinged you are

Hope and expectation no longer a requirement. The practice changed. Silliness. ANOTHER example of making up in volume what you lack in accuracy. I pray for your exodus from heresy

That's not what Jesus said. That not what Jesus said. Jesus is clear andi. John 6:61 Jesus asks after saying 3 times to eat his flesh, "Does this shock you?" Why should they be shocked if he meant "spiritual consumption"?

A very common one is abstinence from eating meat on Friday. Catholics are still called to sacrifice but the requirement to abstain from eating meat has been removed.

Not that I am aware of. If you have evidence of such things show it. Catholics haven't stopped believing anything. They have changed practices not beliefs.

Oh I see, you're a liar. You would alter people words to advance your agenda. In other words you're a piece of sh*t.

Ignatius of Antioch along with Polycarp were disciples of the apostle John. The appearance of the word "Catholic" is secondary to the reference to the Eucharist being the flesh of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself said, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you do not have life within you. John 6:53. Then Ignatius mentions bishops and doing nothing apart from the bishop. He also mentions that the Eucharist is deemed proper (the flesh of Jesus Christ) when administered by the bishop or by one to whom he has entrusted it. It's important only to the extent that Jesus established a church and that the earliest members of that church believe what catholics believe. To believe anything else is a rejection of Jesus.

My father taught me that an honest man should never have to tell you he's honest. Ive found that to be the case for many other things in life as well.

True but it doesnt seem like its in the nature of leftists to be introspective. They tend to believe their intentions are purely benevolent and as a result they believe they are beter than others who dont think like them. Why would anyone who thinks they better than anyone else ever consider being introspective?

I don't know how they could be happy. They see the world through the lens of oppressor and oppressed. They believe that if anyone disagrees with their world view they are either an opporssor or suffer from some type of "ism". They are easily offended and are violent as hell. The only people they listen to are other people who are as miserable as them. I guess it would have been quicker just to say, because they're leftists.

No Im right.

It has long been debated if the church Jesus was referring to as "my" church in Matt 16:18 is the Catholic church. The Patristic era is that time in early church history immediately following the death of the last apostle. Some of the fathers who wrote in that era were disciples of the actual apostles. One such church father is Ignatius of Antioch. He was a disciple of the apostle John. Was St Ignatius of Antioch a Catholic? His epistle to the Smyrnaeans says: Chapter 7 "They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ." He goes on, "Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes." Hmmm sounds like something a Catholic would say. Then in chapter 8 "See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid." https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0109.htm

You're welcome. Besides it's not my fault I'm right.

I do see if differently, I see it correctly. How do I know it's correct? It's different than how you see it.

Where did I say I care that he/she/it is a pretentious loud mouth. It's an observation. You can't observe things you don't care about?????? That's strange. I don't care about my neighbor but I observe that he's a buffalo bills fan. Do I have to care about him or his football preference to observe and mention it? If "Yes", explain your answer.

The first paragraph is utter buffoonery

What I do know is your're a pretentious loud mouth

You dont know who Twain is do you? LMBO The monkey seems smarter

Be just sounds like a bellicose loon.

Why? You won't be able to understand it.

So a baby in the womb is not human? If it's not human what is it?

Yes you are
