mr.candy
catholic ways are unbiblical.
Hane
mr.candy, your point being? There are vast numbers of people who don’t give a ratzinger whether things are Biblical or not. And everyone who claims to “follow” the Bible cherry-picks shamelessly, despite claims otherwise.
Curtis
Do you have any specifics? Because I used to think the same. Until I actually checked into it. Read John 6. Or the historical writings of the early church(more specifically the fathers). Or read Catholicism vs fundamentalism by Keating. All good sources. Not to mention. It was our catholic faith that put your bible together. It wasn’t a collection of books until then. This is a great website to visit. http://scripturecatholic.com/the_eucharist.html. I converted to the faith, largely on the reality of the church as the scriptural Church. I know we don’t always live it out, and there is much more to be done, but Truth and the Word of God (logos) is with the Catholic Church. I challenge you to go with an open mind and do the research. Come back and answer me why the Church isn’t the true Church that Christ hoped us all to be in unity with?Hope you all have a wonderful paschal (easter) season, no hard feelings Mr. Candy

Mr. Candy,
I was born and raised in the Catholic church, I have attended catholic school up until college (of which I attended a large state school) and I am a confirmed Catholic engaged to a practicing Mormon man. In all of my experience as a practicing Catholic, knowledge about the Church and also knowledge about most other sects of Christianity (having taken extensive theology classes/marrying outside of my religion) your exclamation that the Catholic church is unbiblical is absolutely absurd! With all due respect, considering I don’t know you, the Catholic church teaches you how to be a good person- this is the best way I can sum it up. You can throw in a philosophical argument and question: what exactly is ‘good’, but seeing how this is a religious website, and all of us believe in something, I think most of us can agree on a general outline of what ‘good’ is. Now, ‘unbiblical’ isn’t even a word, and the way I see it, that’s for a good reason. The bible has so many different stories explaining so many different lessons, many of them actually do contradict others, but if you narrow it down to the general themes, you are left with a few guidelines to live by: The Ten Commandments. This is simply interpretation. The Catholic church interprets the bible figuratively, not literally. I’m guessing this is what you’re referring to in saying that we are ‘unbiblical’. However, what I see as one of the most important lessons that the Catholic church teaches is TOLERATION. We are taught that there is truth in every religion, God is loving, forgiving and in absolutely everything. This is a lesson I would like for you to think hard about, toleration, before you claim that other religions are ‘unbiblical’. Religion aside, toleration is a good thing to practice as a human being as well, you may find that you are less inclined to write absurd, possibly offending things on websites, and you could spend your time making yourself a better person, creating your own happiness, rather than starting disputes online.
Take care and God bless.
j. russo
?Dp you mean tolerance?
Brittany
oops, yes, thank you.
someguy
Yet gay marriage or protected sex is not tolerated. So you really only teach TOLERATION when it suits your cause.
FT
Actually it is those that preach tolerance and diversity the most who only allow it insofar as you don’t say anything they don’t like.
Phil Stone
When I try to love my neighbors as I love myself, I notice that everyone, including the Church, wants religious liberty for themselves, and so I must extend that to others. The only cases I am aware of where “the tolerant” object to comments of the “tolerated” is where the comments can be seen to encourage violence against others, where they would create a hostile athmosphere for students, and where they are factually wrong.
Tim Glowacki
Perhaps you meant the word ‘tolerance’ instead of ‘toleration’.
scragsma
Tolerance is not, in itself, a virtue as popular (irrational) culture would claim. What society tolerates murder, rape, or robbery? No, there are things that should not be tolerated because they are bad for society and bad for individuals. Homosexual activity falls in this category, as does artificial contraception.
Kozmickid
And that matters because…?

Put down the martini and read the bible, all of it, not just the parts you like. Then you will understand that the Catholic church is correct.

Ok, I dont know where you have gotten your information. But thats completely untrue. The whole religion of Catholicism is based off the Holy Bible. They believe in Jesus, they believe in the divine trinity, and they believe in both the old and the new testement. Please start judging when you have your facts correct.

Given what I’ve read of past Papal Conclaves, usually the Cardinals themselves never narrow it down to 16 names before the first vote. I will find it totally amazing if the Cardinals, under influence of the Holy Spirit, pick the same Pope as this poll.

It is not just open to ROMAN Catholics. Eastern Catholic Cardinals (Major Archbishops or Patriarchs) also have the right to participate and could be elected Pope. They are in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church.

You’re an idiot. The Catholic Church has a long history of women and women in high states of grace and holiness. Starting with our Blessed Mother Mary. Perhaps you need to do some research on great Catholic women such as St. Catherine of Siena, St. Theresa of Avila, Mother Theresa, St. Cecilia, St. Gemma Galgani, Mother Lange, etc, instead of being a keyboard cowboy troll. Do yourself a favor and some research; perhaps you’ll learn something instead of trolling lies and hatred.

The Pope himself is never infallible, he is mortal and cannot be infallible. Now, the Pope can make a “Statement of infallibility”. These are extremely RARE. In fact, His Holiness Benedict XVI, made no Statements of Infalibility in his 7+ years as the Bishop of Rome.

No American cardinal can win-all are too corrupt like that imbecil Mahony the worst example of corruption in all areas and the others are all suspect. Hopefully no mexicans -we need honorable ones and younger so the church can grow up past their “good ole boy” crap-make women priests-they have more honor and the church has always screwed the women over-the men get money, homes, the best wine closets I ever seen, are easily bought and cannot be trusted. The nuns were not allowed to hahve any money, do not get social security and most are in their 80-90′s and there are only a few younger nuns to care for them. They do not get any respect or help-they are the priests housenig______. They don’t need the silly costumes to prance around in and fancy meals while their parishoners are homeless and starving. The Vatican hides the worlds largest art museum which could be sold to feed the hungry, the Vatican and castle could hold humdreds of homeless and they are they very type that God ran out of the temples. God did not have money, pretty clothes and fancy buildings-why should they? I left the church because it was too phony and they were easily bought-they are just as bad as the mormons. They want to involve themselves in politics bu not pay the taxes or fees that come with it. They have millions of dollars but still demand from their poor parishioners. Pick anyone else but Americans or mexicans.
aew
leave the gays alone-if God is really upset with it-he will deal with it. Give the women the rights they have earned and they would be better priests. Let the priests marry, do not allow them in seminaries until at least late 2′s so they see more of the world and don’t commit to something they are not ready for.

This website was great until I saw all the arguing. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF FAITH! Me personally, I don’t believe that my catholic faith is any more real or touching than a Muslim or a Buddhist. The thing is faith is based on what works for you. As long as you have faith in SOMETHING that is fine! Most people have the notion that you have to convert someone of another faith to your faith because your faith is more true. How can anyone say that? That literally goes against everything that religion is about. It’s about living as a community and coming together to do good in the world and worship a higher being! If another group does it differently than me what right do I have to tell them that they’re wrong? Jesus’ main message was to love everyone, and I feel that a lot of people have lost that message. It is ok to talk about different faiths and see different viewpoints but when you walk away from the conversation it shouldn’t be like “wow he’s stupid for believing that.” It should be, “wow that was interesting, I wonder how God impacted him to make him see those beliefs.” Religious people say that they want a better world but that isn’t going to happen until we step off of our peristalsis and realized that all faiths are equal.
