Is this what you consider “proof?”

Why would I need proof of something so obvious?

The word “Catholic” is not in the Bible, that is proof enough.

It is not “obvious.”

The fact that the word is not in the Bible is not sufficient proof. Is the word “Trinity” in the Bible?

By the way, do you know what the word, “catholic,” means?

No more protestant bashing threads!! Praise gray matter....

We are following our “conscience” just like their Pope says we should.

So are abortionists and child molesters of course, but that’s okay they can still go to heaven if their conscience says they should kill babies and rape kids.

It means follow your personal conscience and not the Bible apparently. Sin is whatever you “feel” it is.

lol.

I’ll stick to being a Christian.

Is this what you think? It is certainly not what the Church teaches....or is this another attempt to construct a straw man to sidetrack from the original error you seem to have made regarding the word “Catholic” not being used until “centuries” later.

I am just going by the OP of this thread, which is supposedly the topic.

Then why did you state:

“The word Catholic was invented centuries later”...?

Out of the blue, no reason, couldn’t be in response to someone who thinks Jesus created the popery on the day before he was even Born but gave all praise to mortal human Mary instead. Nah, couldn’t have been in response to another post...

....................................................

IT’S WHAT THE POPE JUST SAID!
Did you read his comments?
Do you agree with what the head of your church teaches:
You are not sinning as long as you are following YOUR conscience!

No strawmen now from you. Do you agree with that statement and consequently your pope?

I will not be sidetracked. I am looking for proof for the statement which said:

“The word Catholic was invented centuries later”...?

So, in other words...you have no proof for the statement which said:

“The word Catholic was invented centuries later”...?

So do I. However, that has nothing to do with supplying proof for your statement:

“The word Catholic was invented centuries later”...

Is Francis "Peter the Roman" ??

No, he's Pope Francis.

Only God knows.

Is it too difficult for you to post a translation each time you post a foreign language. It's the rule.

I think he is coming from a different place. It is also difficult to know whether or not this is a flawed interpretation of a poor translation of what the actually Pope said.

But in any case I would say that one could argue from scripture that invincible ignorance and the fruits thereof is in play throughout the New Testament at least.

Christ said He had to leave but the apostles needn't worry because He would send the Holy Spirit,the Spirit of Truth to dwell in their hearts. Several persons were accepted as having the Truth when they acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God. Peter was elevated after he told Christ that was who He was. The thief on the cross was told that he would be with Him (Christ) in paradise because he spoke the truth both with regard to his own unworthiness and guilt as well as to Christ's innocence. Many persons knew the Truth because it is in ones heart,planted by God.(P)(p) Julia,Pilate's wife knew Jesus was innocent as did Pilate but he chose to wash his hands of the whole thing and throw it out to the crowd,hoping that they would not put Christ to death but too weak and scared of losing his position to act on the Truth. The crowd,through ignorance,brainwashing or pridefulness chose to ignore Truth and call for death. Two thousand years not much has changed.

May you come to know the truth within the Church founded by Christ.

May you learn to abide by the rules and post translations of any foreign language you post. I don't think that rule applies only to those who post Latin.
