It appears to me that the process of apostacy continues.

We see in some circles the introduction of new ceremonies blessing same sex unions, the re-working of doctrine to fit what the world finds popular, even re-written versions of the Bible like the one embraced by the CoE that replaces 'husband' and 'wife' with 'partner' to make it gay-friendly.

In the end, all false religions will collapse under the weight of their own lies and sins.

The thoroughly apostate and utterly corrupt condition of the Church of Rome as proclaimed by its history down to the end of the fifteenth century,* was necessarily accompanied by absence of all spiritual sanctity and power whatever may have been the arrogant assumptions of the Church as to authority in spiritual affairs.

Gee, I wonder how many Catholics will come on and refute that? They would skewer any Protestant who made that claim, but for some unknown reason, they seem to all want to give the Mormons a pass.

I wonder why that is?

Well....there is an old saying...Who is the bigger Fool...The Fool, or He who tries to best the Fool. It’s often best not to cast one’s pearl’s before swine, it’s also best not to try to teach a pig to dance. Just remember, there are only two Religions on the Planet that claimed to have been started by angels. We all know who the most beautiful of angels is, and he likes to get things rolling not by totally twisting the truth, but by a subtle change of direction.....

I have known a number of “Mormons” through the years, good people for the most part.

I have learned quite a bit about the LDS church from the slew of postings recently. I’m not sure that you people are doing your church a favor. I had no idea that the LDS church has such strange teachings and doctrines (I won’t mention history). Wouldn’t it be better for you to keep your teachings secret and just rely on how good your people are?

I can only speak for myself, not all Catholics, but personally, personally I say, I don’t take mothballs, Rolfing, Mindreading, and Pre-wash soaking products seriously either.

Any Protestant, including the Mormons.

Mothballs actually work, but cedar chips are better and vacuum bagging is best.

“Any Protestant, including the Mormons.”

That is their self-definition, isn’t it? ~In opposition to Rome. So, therefore, the Mormons are Protestants.

Whodathunkit.

I tried woodchips and all I got was squirrels.

As a faithful Catholic, I am placing this thread on IGNORE If you are Catholic, be aware that this thread contains slanders about the Catholic Church. We should not reward invincibly ignorant anti-Catholic bigots by engaging them in futile debate. Therefore, please do not respond to any of the lies about the Catholic Church contained on this thread.
Saint Paul pray for those who hate the Church.

Don’t feel bad — they consider everyone but themselves apostates. You are in good company!

I love “Shout”. “Natures Miracle” is amazing for taking out blood and various other natural stainmakers.

One could mention the so-called ‘Book of Abraham’, a fraudulent piece of work from the pagan Egyptian Book of Breathings or Book of the Dead. Imagine, a whole book “translated” from a few dozen letters of a parchment that had nothing to do with Abraham but everything to do with Egyptian gods and funeral rites.

I knew it! Scratch an anti-washite and get a PC liberal!

Next thing you know, you’ll be yelling about anti-dentites!

I personally think everyone should be able to skip flossing.

So there.. Nahhh...

Because at least Protestants and Catholics do share common belief in the Trinity and other doctrines not unique to Catholicism. So though we differ, we do share a common language in most theological matters. But how does one debate someone who does not even speak the same language?
