-—year ago, Karl Keating of Catholic Answers Live said he believed there were now more Evangelicals or Fundamentalists leaving Protestantism to become Catholic than the other way around.-—
Glad to hear it. Bookmarking.
“I know as many, probably more, divorced-and-remarried Catholics as I do protestants.”
I probably do, too; the article was about Catholics who join another denomination. Many divorced-and-remarried Catholics don’t even bother.
You don't mean the temple where the curtain was cut in half allowing the people direct access to God, without a priest, do you???
And you certainly don't mean the temple that replaced the OT temple, the body of the believer, do you???
“We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately.” — Benjamin Franklin
This quote came to mind as I read your post, as the worldly forces of an immoral society, corrupt and immoral politicians, and the evils of the muslim religion attacking Christians everywhere.
-—know it. The reality is that while the vast majority of western RCs are liberal, and become conservative if they join evangelical churches.——
Regular mass attendance is the divider between conservative and liberal Catholics.
I’ve observed that many good Catholics switch to Evangelical churches for good reasons. They don’t know why they’re in church. They’re looking for an active community. But this is a function of poor catechesis. Ministries like EWTN and Catholic Answers appear to be filling the gap.
Iscool!! He is alive!!
Why would they??? You're religion teaches that without eating the wafer, there is no eternal life...Why waste their time???
I don't believe Paul sold anything...He preached the words of God, with God's power...
“Unlike your your SSPX brethren, i do doctrinally hold that the sign gifts have not ceased, that God can do as He ever did, but that such claims are subject to testing by Scripture, which reproves Rome, while your own brethren have question you.”

Please be specific or put my words in quotes.
Are you talking about disbelief in private revelation? It never works rejecting Catholicism by using the Church and her writings and now, your using Catholics themselves.
Catholics can believe or not believe private revelation.
When the private revelation has been officially condemned,
then no. The Church is prudent, because of our times and so
many messages from Heaven, we don’t know yet their decision
on many of them, the messages to Cletus and Verne are among them. Realize, the major divine “events” prophesied haven’t taken place yet.
You don’t accept the message about the end time so you’re rejecting it. If you took the time...look at the link, God Speaks Will You Listen is full of Scripture reference to confirm what the messages say.
Read the footnote on the verse you mentioned. There was
no Gospel yet when Paul was speaking to Timothy.
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice.
[16] All scripture,: Every part of divine scripture is certainly profitable for all these ends. But, if we would have the whole rule of Christian faith and practice, we must not be content with those Scriptures, which Timothy knew from his infancy, that is, with the Old Testament alone: nor yet with the New Testament, without taking along with it the traditions of the apostles, and the interpretation of the church, to which the apostles delivered both the book, and the true meaning of it.
Been there. I think there are probably quite a few of us, and I know we are forgiven.
Don’t hang onto your guilt, as it will eat at you. He knows what is in your heart.
Actually, i do not think any of the Divinely inspired writing needed editing except for correcting manifest errors in transmission. If i was doing the writing, well, that would be a different story!
To willing hearers. however the actual data we have for the Americas has continually shown the opposite, as shown in this thread, while discounting immigration, both faiths are losing ground to “Nones,” Islam and Mormonism.

I will pray for you.
That's rather an ironic statement, given your screen name.
Cheers!
Obama got 69.5 million votes, only 12 million of which were from Catholics. That means he got 57.5 million votes from non-Catholics representing a nearly 4:1 edge. Maybe you ought to look beyond your prejudices to see exactly who elected him.
Peace be with you.
Being prejudiced would cause a conservative to start creatively trying to defend and defensively explain away and keep away from examination, a large liberal voting block, to end discussing that vote or even republicans and conservatives becoming aware of it, on a forum of politically active conservatives currently involved in campaigns, and in an election cycle.
You are right. Since Catholics, or alleged Catholics, only contributed 17% of Obama's vote there must be another reason you have spent so much time and effort trying to prove your point.
Peace and blessings.
