		<description><![CDATA[Actually, there is a  basis for this practice and it comes right out of the scriptures you seem to imagine you are so well versed in.  The very first time Jesus performs a miracle, he is, of sorts, answering a prayer.  They run out of wine at the wedding.  Instead of going directly to Jesus, they ASK HIS MOTHER for help, who replies, &quot;Let me talk to my Son&quot;, who, while he doesn&#039;t seem to be wild about the idea, takes care of the situation.  
Of course you don&#039;t need Mary to pray through, but there are no extra words in the Bible.  Everything is there for our instruction.  The concept of asking Mary to ask her Son is firmly established in scripture, whether you like it or not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve read &quot;The Story of Christianity&quot; authored by a Catholic Priest and a Protestant Publisher and also a book by Malichi Martin entitled &quot;The Fall of the Roman Church&quot;.  It&#039;s a very good history going back to the beginning but put a lot of blame on the secular power the Church had starting with Constantine...they went from persecution to deciding who would be king.  We know that power corrupts.  The Pope is  a man and he can be corrupted just as anyone else.  Miraculously, the Church has not strayed over the years because of the foundation of its lay people and Holy Spirit filled clergy (not all).  The Church did stray at the time of Luther and we got the Protestant Reformation....The selling of indulgences and today the pedophile problem.  You should also know that there were heretical movements in the early church regarding the divinity of Christ.  The printing of the Bible and Gospels was a great thing in that more people could read the words of Jesus in the Gospels.  Christianity is not complicated.  One must believe that Jesus Christ died for the sins of all mankind who would believe in Him and follow His commands...to love one another as I have loved you.  No need to make it complicated and argue over who is correct.  All Christians who believe the above are brothers and sisters in Christ to me, no matter what their denomination unless they use it to separate themselves.  The words of Christ in the Gospels were I place my faith.  Have you read the Gospels through?...I have over ten times in the last ten years plus all Paul&#039;s letters and others through Revelations.  The Pope is supposed to be the shepherd, but that does not mean we follow him blindly.  We are to be wary as Christ says in Matthew 10:16.  We&#039;ve also seen that priests can go astray...wolves in sheep&#039;s clothing.]]></description>

Mark 7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Matt. 15:3    	Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 
Matt. 15:6 then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

		<description><![CDATA[Complete nonsense, you want to make up your own religion !?



Mat 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Rev. 22:18   For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;  19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 

2Tim. 3:16   All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2Pet. 1:19   And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;  20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,  21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.   

Psalm 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.

Deut 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gather, from your ignorance that:

1.- You think, (as muslims do with the Qur&#039;an) the Bible is coeternal with God. Let me tell you, the Bible comes from the TRADITION. Jesus Christ didn&#039;t carry a Bible. He TALKED to the people. ORAL TRADITION. Then, some of the apostles wrote down SOME of His words, but mostly, His word were passed on by ORAL TRADITION. The Bible is a canon of books compiled by, oh my God! The Catholic Church.

2.- The Papacy predates the Bible. (OMG!!) Peter was named the Rock by Jesus Christ long before the Early Church Fathers compiled the Bible.

&quot;Matthew 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. &quot;

3.- How do you call your own biological father? Sperm donor?

Matthew 23:9 means that one&#039;s faith must be in God, not in a man. To take that verse literally is quite stupid. Do you have children? A daughter? Would you deny your own daughter to call you &quot;father&quot; just because a stupid and wrong interpretation?

4.- The Catholic Church doesn&#039;t forbid anyone to marry. Celibacy is A CHOICE. 

Celibacy is one of those signs that reminds us of Christ’s absolute demands, of his liberating return, of the economy of the kingdom of heaven, of the need to be vigilant, to break with the world, with the flesh, with lust, and, with joy in our hearts, to accept renunciation of the passions for pure love of Jesus. Celibacy reminds us that marriage in Christ also entails sacrificial demands: complete and lifelong faithfulness (monogamy and indissolubility), and purity of heart (adultery is not merely physical). Celibacy is one way of obeying Christ’s invitation: «If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it» (Mt 16:24-25).

&quot;Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage. . . those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. . . . The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband&quot; (7:27-34). 

Saint Paul’s conclusion: He who marries &quot;does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better&quot; (7:38).

Regarding the foods... muslims are forbid from eating pork and non-halal food, so are the jews with their kosher thing.

Catholics are allowed to eat all kind of food. It&#039;s customary during lent to abstain red meat on fridays, but that&#039;s not mandatory. You are very deluded my friend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you point out my ignorance !? The knowledge or Ignorance concerning the Gospel is crucial for your assurance of salvation:
Hosea 4:6 	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. 

Sorry mate, how many times did you read your Bible !? Most catholics, at least in my country, do not have, let alone use a bible. When I attended the Catholic Church, I never saw one believer carrying a bible. In that time I never heard about the essentials of Christianity in any sermons. My faith became totally irrelevant. Child baptism is not supported in the Scriptures, this is also a major error within protestantism. So I do not call me a protestant either but a evangelical/pentecostal. The fact that you are opposing me, makes me doubt you are a born again believer and consequently a Christian. So you do fully understand what it means to be somebody who has fully repented and was being born again? How would you define a Christian !?

The position of the pope within the RC is also unscriptural: Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Col. 1:18 And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 

Mary is not a mediator either: 1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

About celibacy: 1Tim. 4:1   	The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.  2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.  3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can you point out my ignorance !? The knowledge or Ignorance concerning the Gospel is crucial for your assurance of salvation:<br />
Hosea 4:6 	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. </p>
<p>Sorry mate, how many times did you read your Bible !? Most catholics, at least in my country, do not have, let alone use a bible. When I attended the Catholic Church, I never saw one believer carrying a bible. In that time I never heard about the essentials of Christianity in any sermons. My faith became totally irrelevant. Child baptism is not supported in the Scriptures, this is also a major error within protestantism. So I do not call me a protestant either but a evangelical/pentecostal. The fact that you are opposing me, makes me doubt you are a born again believer and consequently a Christian. So you do fully understand what it means to be somebody who has fully repented and was being born again? How would you define a Christian !?</p>
<p>The position of the pope within the RC is also unscriptural: Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Col. 1:18 And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. </p>
<p>Mary is not a mediator either: 1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,</p>
<p>About celibacy: 1Tim. 4:1   	The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.  2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.  3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I think this guy is leading us astray and I agree that Christians of any stripe bashing one another is not Christian,,,the devil&#039;s in the mix somewhere.  If we believe in Jesus as the Son of God, One with the Father, you have seen me, you have seen the Father, and follow his commands namely to love one another as I have loved you, (all pretty simple), then we should unite as Christians.  The bad mouthing gets us no where.  Legitimate issues of disagreement need to be discussed, if if the central belief of faith in Jesus Christ and love of one another (even love of enemy) is not adhered to, then I don&#039;t think anyone can call himself a follower of Christ.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am Catholic, but read up on the History of Christianity...there was corruption in the papacy at the time of Martin Luther and even at times before.  If God did not want the Protestant Reformation to happen, it would not have happened.  I am upset that there are so many denominations but much of the Protestant Reformation getting back to the Scriptures was necessary in my opinion.  The Issue of Islam is most troubling for me in that I have read much on it including the Quran and have come to the conclusion that Islam is  Satan inspired, yet I see this Pope coddling it while Islam is horribly persecuting Christians in Muslim lands...and he says nothing.  I also read that Pope John Paul II kissed the Quran.  The man should have known better.  The Quran calls for fighting and subduing Jesus followers...Christians and Jews (Sura 9-29) and there are many other verses against unbelievers.  We as Christians should be uniting as followers of Jesus; we do not follow a mere man if he leads us astray...and so far this man Francis is leading us astray in my opinion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bobby Lee,
I am Catholic but i would say there is evidence of prayer to the saints for intercession with God.  What about at the marriage feast, where Mary asked Jesus to do something about the wine?  Or where Jesus says that John the Baptist is greater than any man born of woman, but that the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.  At the foot of the cross, Jesus says to John, there is your mother...and to Mary, there is your son.  Jesus statements were almost always for all eternity so the statement, &quot;there is your mother&quot; applies to his followers in my opinion.  Mary, being the One chosen by God to bring His Son into the world has to be one of the highest in Heaven, don&#039;t you think?  And it appears that God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) listens to her when she asks for help.  I do pray the Rosary almost daily which is largely a prayer to Mary (backed by Luke&#039;s Gospel...Hail Mary, full of grace, Blessed are thou amongst women and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb).  Each mystery of the Rosary focus&#039; on an event in Jesus&#039; life like birth, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven.  The Catholic Church teaches that Mary is the Immaculate Conception, born without original sin because of her role in Christ&#039;s birth.  You may not need Mary to get to Heaven, but please, all of you Protestants, do not throw her under the bus because we Catholics honor her...all nations shall call me Blessed...and you should too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Myrtle, I do not agree with what this Pope is doing, especially in the Palestian and Islamic thing, and I am a Catholic.  Islam is Satan&#039;s religion after all my reading including the Quran.  The Pope is supposed to be the leader of the Catholic (Latin for Universal) Church but i am not compelled to agree with him.  I read the Gospels and the Bible and that is my basis for faith.  I aws taught in Catholic grade school also.  For 1500 years there was no other Christian church than the Catholic Church except for the breakaway Eastern Church in the 1200&#039;s.  Martin Luther started the Protestant movement in the early 1500&#039;s when the Catholic Church leadership (Pope) became corrupt.  There is nothing wrong with taking issue with this runaway Pope, but we Christians must not separate over denominational differences.  We all believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died for our sins so that we could have eternal life with Him in Heaven...IF we believed in Him and followed his commands....basically to love one another as I have loved you.   Islam&#039;s Quran (supposedly from their allah) states that Jesus never died on the cross and that Jesus never said He is the Son of God...both lies against the Gospels written 700 years before the Quran.  Jesus said in the Gospels that Satan is the father of all lies.  The Quran teachings of hate and violence against unbelievers is 180 degree opposite Jesus Christ&#039;s teachings of love and forgiveness.  Putting those two issues together, I come to the logical conclusion that allah is Satan and that Islam is Satan inspired.  This Pope should know that in his position.  It&#039;s as if their eyes are blind...I suspect we are in the end times.]]></description>
