Putting Rome's Claims in Perspective ...

"Rome makes bold claims. If they are not true, they are heinous and very much anti-Christian." (John Bugay) This is a pretty key point that people need to realize. Rome's bold claims don't necessarily trickle down to every member (or even most members) of Rome's communion. That said, if Rome's claims to have universal jurisdiction over Christianity and the ability to define dogma de fide are false, then what could be more anti-Christian?

  1. Ironically Rome is certainly the most rabidly anti-catholic communion.

  2. ...do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you... Rom.11:18, NIV

    ...Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is "the root and womb whence the Church of God springs...Mortalium Animos, Pope Pius XI

    Even Paul heard the footsteps before their claims.

Comment Guidelines:

1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.

2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.

3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.

4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.

5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.

6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.

7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.

8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.

9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)

10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
