.
Yes!

Most assuredly so.

Particularly the mass, which is straight out of the Lake that burns.

Oh, Goody.

You've confirmed beyond a doubt that the Catholic Church teaches the pure and unadulterated Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Salvation]

I think it’s talking about the devil here.

Did you read the article?

**The Greek word translated above as “knowledge” is gnoseos. Sound familiar? The bottom line is this: St. Paul was not condemning the Catholic Church in I Timothy 4; he was warning against early Gnostics who were leading Christians astray via their “gnosis,” which was no true gnosis at all.**

Okay everyone, editor-surveyor has handed down his judgment — it is now official, the Catholic Church teaches the doctrine of demons.

Well, I'm sure glad we cleared that up.

Am not a member of the Roman Catholic Church myself and have no plans to convert to Roman Catholicism. I would probably be more inclined toward the Orthodox faith if I was for some reason forced to choose. But I do find many of these articles, by faithful Catholics, some of whom like this writer are converts, defending or at least discussing their beliefs very interesting. We have our disagreements but I recognize them as fellow Christians.

To the best of my knowledge the writer quoted scripture accurately and made a sound point about what Paul was referring to by "Doctrines of Demons" (the beginnings of Gnosticism - which I believe he also fairly and accurately described) in a 1st century context.

Calm and reasoned criticism would probably be accepted by the author with good grace and as a fair challenge. Your comment, on the other hand, was closer to a blood libel than anything remotely persuasive.

So if you don't mind (or even if you do) I'd like to modify your tag line: "editor-surveyor: Not as smart as he thinks he is"

One example from the Catholic Mass please? Just one.

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ “

Still only one trick, I see.
