Do you really believe the lamestream media. Read the entire interview, please.
That was not what Pope Francis said.
the Catholic church is infallible in matters of faith and morals...Christ promised to be with her until the end of time....I'll take my chances and try my best not to reject Christ as so many others have done.
Nonsense, it's run by fallible humans.
People very often get two words mixed up here.
Infallible —
and Impeccable.
We are all impeccable....we can all make a mistake.
Through the Holy Spirit, much prayer, determination, proof, etc. a doctrine or dogma is pronounced infalliable — note the entrance of the Holy Spirit in this process.
“I’ll take my chances”
Too bad all you have is the “chance.” I’ve got the confidence of the Word of God. Much superior to the gamble of letting filthy old liberals and idolaters do your thinking for you.
In other words, your assertion could be wrong ;-)
I don’t have a Pope.
I have a relationship with Jesus/God.
There is no bureaucracy between us.
oh, the popes are fallible allright, but Christ promised that in matters of faith and morals, they would never teach in error.....does that mean that they could not sin on their own...of course not, but in matters pertaining to official teachings, they would be protected from error.
so far it has worked just fine!!!!
Christ never said the Catholic Church or Pope would never be in error. Nor would I believe for a second that they never have been in error before.
and the word of God that you cherish so much came from the bible and the bible was happily presented to you by...........guess who..........THE CATHOLIC CHURCH...at least say thanks!
whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.......do you think that He would allow the Catholic Church to bind something in error that He would also have to bind in heaven????
if you can find an error that any Pope has ever made in official church teachings (not behavior) then you would be the first person in history to do so......millions have tried!!
“and the word of God that you cherish so much came from the bible and the bible was happily presented to you by...........guess who..........THE CATHOLIC CHURCH...at least say thanks!”
Why would I thank Babylon for something the Apostles wrote, by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost? You stick with your dead idols and what you know, and I’ll stick with the scriptures.
of course they were written by the evangalists and the apostles, of course they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.....that was 2,000 years ago. How do you think that you have access to something written by a handfull of people in an obscure part of the middle east??? The early believers and followers of Christ were the beginnings of Catholicism and it is those people who recorded the writings, edited them, transcribed them, hand copied them in Catholic monastaries for 2,000 years....Virtually noone had a copy of the bible until modern times....first of all they couldn't afford it, secondly the VAST majority of them couldn,t read it. Throught the ages, Catholics preserved the holy books and writings, translated them into every language on earth, and thanks to the printing press, you can have your own copy.......say THANKS CATHOLICS!!!!!

Certainly it had nothing to do with Rome. Even in the 4th century, you guys considered the epistle to the Hebrews to be a fraudulent work, since you were too incompetent to answer the heretics who abused it. The Greek churches also put out Revelation, for similar reasons.
Luckily God is in control and not fallible men, and thank God again that the Papists don’t have any of the history or tradition that they fantasize to have.

I forgot to reply to this, but this is very ignorant. Even Polycarp, in his letter to the churches, not only quotes the scriptures heavily, but even speaks of the scriptures as something that they owned and were well versed in. Indeed, between Papias, Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, and Irenaeus, almost every single book in the New Testament was quoted from and taught from. The Christians were a lot more literate than you give them credit for. Maybe believers in Roman Catholicism are mostly illiterate, but people back then weren’t idiots.
