Do you believe that insulting Christians is in your best long-term interests?

It's worked so far...


"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."

--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema.

--Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1

You can spew pope-stuff ‘til the cows come home; it means nothing to non-Catholics. So you’ve wasted time and keystrokes. We believe the Bible; you believe a man/pope. Why don’t we just stipulate that our religions’ tenets are different, agree to disagree, and move on? I’m good with that. I get the concept of “free will of man, and I respect your choice.
