Ya know, it is pretty safe to say that Martin Luther, if he came back now, would probably rejoin the Catholic Church instead of joining one of the Protestant denominations.

The English Protestants SHOULD have said "Semper Fideles... until the going gets rough... or our hands get dirty... or we lose faith because we are bored..." Oh and by the way I did some research. Martin Luther. You know that guy? He believed in the Immaculate Conception. He loved Mary. He wrote in his journal "She is the path that leads me to Jesus" which is IRONICALLY the way the Catholic Church looks at her.

Our church song expresses the church itself.

Adeste fideles, laeti triumfantes:
Venite, venite, venite in Bethlehem:
Natum videte, Regem angelorum.
Venite, venite, venite adoremus Dominum.

The Catholic Church is the only one that has remained faithful, so when english Protestants were saying Semper Fideles... that is a load of bull stool.

Online4Him-

I have to write a book about this, it will be titled "The Inquisition, Reasonless? Or Reasonful?" The minor and major Protestants alike were doing something very similar to the Catholics, even though it was village by village and not organized as well it was still just as widespread as the Catholic Inquisition, and by the way, many Protestant books about the Inquisition LIE. One VERY popular book said 90 million people were killed by the Inqisition... Euroupe didn't have that many people to kill... Yea, the book is saying the Catholic Church outdid Hitler, the TRUE number, estimated by non-biased sources is actually about 20,000 that actually DIED from all of the French to Spanish Inquisitions. Around 8,000 executions are estimated to actually have been carried out by CHURCH officials, the rest were carried out by government officials. The Inquisition is EXTREMELY exaggerated by Fundamentalists to try and prove somehow that Catholicism is wrong... right...

Catholicism has one thing that gives it a greater authority than all other churches.

lol, I can totally play the hate card. I get the "hate card" played on me about once a week. Try being a Catholic in England. Somehow I cannot believe in a religion that spraypaints people's houses just because they are Catholic, sets off C.D. players in the middle of a mass connected to speakers so that everyone has to evacuate, steals the Eucharist and desecrates it, and does all sorts of horrendous things to us. I find it extremely difficult to believe. And you lot really did help Ireland out in all sorts, you basically made the streets of Belfast a mine field.

Look, Jesus only died once, but he gives us his body and blood to renew the promise that he made. It is also a symbolism of the Covenant that God made with humanity, a ditch was filled with animal blood and God was making a promise to Abraham and he walked through the blood saying "If I break this covenant this is what you may do to me" and then when it came for Abraham to walk through it, God walked through it again saying "If you break this covenant then this is what you do to me" He made the all atoning sacrifice only once, but he renews the promise with the Eucharist.

YOU keep a vague comment that may not even necessarily MEAN what you twist it to mean, I will keep Jesus. No matter how you bend it, Jesus said "This is my body" and "This is my bread" I don't know what else there is to argue about, it is pretty clear.

And here is one "I am with you all days, from now unto the consummation of the world" No matter how you slice that, it supports the Catholic Church. It means that the TRUE Church must be the one that Jesus founded, because Jesus said "from now" and that means no break-offs. If it scares you too much to look at it that way, you can look at it as though there must ALWAYS be a representative of Jesus with the True Church, at ALL TIMES. The only Church to have fulfilled this is the Catholic Church that keeps the Chair of Peter. I do not see any way you can twist that to be in support of the Protestant Church.

Jesus addressed Peter, and you have yet to explain why petros is for peter and petra for christ, you are very vague "I believe that petra more accurately typifies Christ" yea... show me why. And Jesus said "I give you the keys to heaven" and he said it to PETER! And nobody can doubt that Jesus is the cornerstone, he is the Saviour for Christ's sake. Ask any Pope "Are you superior to Jesus?" He will say "HECK NO!"

Online4Him-

It may be that Jesus did not institute Last Supper until later, but He was making way for it by saying this. And, as tliml also said, Jesus did not call the crowds back when they began to walk away, he did not say it was figurative, which can only mean that he meant it literally. And I REALLY do not understand how Protestants say that the bread and wine is not Jesus when Jesus said word for word that it was. I have seen your argument that it is only in remembrance. Whatever. Provide scriptural evidence that is absolute proof that denies Jesus' words saying "This is my body" and "This is my blood"

Star2-

I just caught your comment about no salvation in the Catholic Church. That is wrong. The Catholic Church is the original church founded by Christ. Do you not realize that you are only leaving space for maybe like a total of 4 billion people to have been saved?
