I am more than happy to remain in the Church where Jesus is really and truly present,
Wrong. Sorry, but Christ doesn't hang with anti-christs
with the end goal of the sanctifying my soul.
Sorry, but a long dead woman CANNOT sanctify your soul, nor can some fanatical following of her.
Just like any good friend, saints inspire and pray for me. The journey of my spiritual life is easier with their assistance.
Wrong and wrong again. The saints are dead. Christ says no one gets to the Father but through him. Not through Mary. Not through a priest, and certainly not through dead "saints".
“I absolve you from your sins, may God give you pardon and peace.”
Only God can save you from your sins. A priest cannot.
Purgatory is the place where all who die in God’s grace and friendship but are still imperfectly purified undergo purification after death so as the achieve holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
No such thing. This is a figment of catholic imagination. You go to Heaven or you go to Hell, period. There are no stops between.
It never ceases to amaze how many have been fooled by the beast into believing false religions such as catholicism. There are going to be some very sad folks on judgement day.
Not only sad, but shocked as well. I used to be one.
“There are going to be some very sad folks on judgement day.” Sad doesn’t even come close to it! And before that, about seven years before that, there are gonna be some gob smacked catholics wondering what happened to the Christian Protestants they knew minutes before around them.
