Two reasons:
This is a public forum...This is not a 'caucus' thread...
And secondly, I don't care about any religion...We're talking about influencing the souls of sinners and I believe your church's teaching will lead folks to Hell...
Sorry to be so blunt...I have nothing at all against Catholics personally...
I see the connection between the Catholic church, the muzlim religion and some of the other Eastern religions as well as pre-Christian pagan worship...This connection is Mary, the Queen of Heaven...It is leading to an ecumenical, one-world religious movement...We can see the recent Popes moving in this directions as well...
With your church relying on 'tradition', as the major factor in it's existance, that makes your pope a modern day prophet...I believe the pope, whether this one or the next, is the 'false phrophet' the bible talks about...
And secondly, I don't care about any religion...

And thirdly, you add nothing to the discussion but whining and criticizing. If you're so happy with your point of view, why visit us to muck up the conversation?
oh dear, this thread is descending into one of those distressing threads that has me shaking my head.
Which Catholic teachings "will lead folks to Hell"?
With your church relying on 'tradition', as the major factor in it's existance, that makes your pope a modern day prophet...
How does that conclusion follow? In other words, how does the Catholic Church's reliance on Apostolic Tradition make Pope Benedict a "modern day [false] prophet"? I don't see how that conclusion follows.
