I feel the same way. I have nothing against Catholics though. They are Christians. :)

I resent being accused of not being a “true” Christian.

This is a harsh and unnecessarily divisive posting.

In Defense of the Papacy: 9 Reasons True Christians Follow the Pope

Is it just me or does this headline come across as rather arrogant? I consider myself a true Christian and I don't follow the pope.

I agree. The vast majority of time we are on the same side, I get peeved when they start the “We are the one true Church” crap.

The word “Pope” appears exactly zero times in the Bible. Just sayin’.

Whe the Apostle Peter comes back to Earth I’ll acknowledge him as Pope. Until then no man is “infallible” on any subject imaginable.

Period.

Same old, same old. This has been discussed many times before. It gets old debunking it so I’ll just join the popcorn section and let somebody else reply if they care to do so.

Actually, it gets old to me having freepers of other religions discussing my religion.

Why don’t we pick on the Baptists, say, for a while.

True, they call the Lord Jesus Christ, LORD and Master.

Or, perhaps we could stop posting the half mountain of Catholic specific stuff on FR and stick with news, activism and politics, since that is the primary purpose of this forum, not telling other Christians they’re not really Christian and are damned to hell for not following the “one true church”.

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.

Your religion is Christianity. Your denomination is Roman Catholic.

I am a christian, and I don’t follow the Pope, or believe the Pope has any special place in Heaven or on Earth.

Game, Set, Match.

Jesus said to follow Him, no other.
