Why is the Pope reminding us in the United States about slavery and oppression? It was the Catholic church that enslaved the first Indians and forced them to build thier missions. They were beat for speaking "heathen languages" and forced to speak Spanish. The Pope ought to clean up his own church first, before all this dragon speak.
What colors were the Pope and his priests dressed in? They were dressed in scarlet and in the United States they wore scarlet and purple......I also saw a golden cup......sounds like the Beast has all the world wondering after her.

EvanCal,

When Catholics state that “ALL” must submit themselves to the pope in order to be saved, what do you think that means? It means first and foremost that they have elevated their pope in the place of Christ and are preaching another gospel. How does a “Reformed” pastor become so enthralled with Catholicism? What type of “Reforming” are you actually pursuing; this is an honest question?

You have said that I should be more loving, that I am being a poor witness, and that I have come to some very “odd conclusions from scripture.”

Yet, when I asked you to comment on the unloving ANATHEMAS that Rome pronounces upon those who trust in Christ alone; you gave NO answer. I asked you to ELABORATE upon “my odd conclusions from scripture” - you gave NO answer. I asked what kind of WITNESS you are giving by placating Catholicism and neglecting to preach the gospel; you gave NO answer.

Care to respond?

You said to Online4Him:"No Catholic would ever compare a Pope to Christ."

Pope means papa and a papa in the spiritual sense. Jesus said to call no on your father (in a spiritual sense) because you have only one Father, god the Father, who is in heaven.

When Jesus was praying to God the Father He addressed Him as 'Holy Father'. To give that title to anyone else is blaspheme. When you do so, then you have removed God off His throne and replaced Him with the person you gave that title to. Thus, to call the Pope, Holy Father, is to remove God from the throne and place the Pope there. The Pope has become God to the Catholic people. I know they will disagree but that is what they have done. I even heard a Catholic Newscaster on Fox News refer to the Pope as Jesus on the Earth. Such blaspheme.

No offense, but your education has given you no understanding of the Word of God. You would be wise to throw it out, get on your knees, and ask God to give you understanding of the Word of God and start teaching the truth so people aren't led astray.

Online4Him will give you a better response I am sure.

Online,
No Catholic would ever compare a Pope to Christ. Are you kidding Me? Is this the type of rhetoric that you have to resulted too? Again, shame on you for attacking their faith with silly accusations. Did you watch the Mass on TV?

The Pope at both the NY MASS and the DC Mass spoke about how Jesus is the only way, that we must all follow Him and that only through Jesus do we have salvation. He also spoke about how it is his job as supreme leader of this Catholic Church to encourage people to focus on the face of Christ and the freedom that can only be found in Christ. The Pope also spoke about how Christ is our only true Hope. People do not worship the Pope, they simply look to him for leadership. The Pope like the Apostles and like Mary simply points the flock to Jesus, immitates Jesus in holiness and says, "Do whatever Jesus tells you."

As a Protestant we should all say AMEN WIITH EVERYTHING HE SAID. ONLINE, start living in the 21st Century and stop living in the Charactures of the Catholic Church from the 17th Century. Also, you have shown you have done ZERO studying on the Popes. There has been 266 Popes in 2000 years and only 11 Popes were historically bad men. The majority of these men lived and died for Christ and the Gospel and if you did any objective reading of history you would see this! Stop this straw man arguement. By the way, 11 Bad popes out of 266 Popes who lived saintly lives is better odds than that of the original 12 called by Jesus and one turned out horrible--Judas. Much better odds.

Let's keep these great articles coming. I know they are enlightening people to the Catholic faith. Thank you!

Article: "My dream has always been to see the pope."

Bible: "Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore" (Ps 105:4).

To be living in this day and age with so much information at our finger tips is a blessing. We are able to look back in history and see that the lives of the popes with their unchristlike acts do not compare to the spotless lamb of God (Jesus Christ.

Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where he would be crucified five days later. According to the Gospels, Jesus rode into town on a donkey as exuberant crowds hailed him as the Messiah and spread out palm branches and cloaks in his path.

I guess if you were there in ancient times, you'd be saying the same thing. Look at those people using palm memorabilia... this is what i expected, religions exist to make money after all. If Jesus was coming to visit, will there be people peddling merchandise for this occasion? not sure how many palms do you see lying around????

I'm glad people show respect for a man of God spreading the good news around the world.

dont call it a faith, because faith implies belief in God, not a human antichristian figure.

during the Dark Ages, catholocism was a religion,

by its creation of Islam, it was still a religion, even though the roads ran red with rivers of christians' blood.

As a friend once quoted a sticker, "When religion ruled the world, it was called the Dark Ages."

I think most of you are in the dark about this dark agent we call the pope, and LOOK, theyre even profiteering from this with souvenirs and catholic memorabilia! this is what i expected, religions exist to make money afterall.

interestign question,

if Jesus was coming to visit, will there be people peddling merchandise for this occasion?

These are great articles about the Pope and the Catholic faith and hope that these type of articles continue when the Pope leave the US because they do a lot to explain the Catholic faith and various positions.
