Deliver Them From Francis!

Image
Recently, Nope Francis  called for a change in translation of a phrase about temptation in the Lord's prayer. His suggestion was to use "do not let us fall into temptation" instead of "lead us not into temptation." According to him it should be, "Do not let me fall into temptation because it is I who fall, it is not God who throws me into temptation and then sees how I fall." He affirmed that "lead us not into temptation" is not a good translation. To a liberal or Novus Ordo Catholic, there is nothing wrong with the suggestion; but on the contrary, there is a problem. First, from the above statement, Francis is implying that God does not lead a soul to temptation. Secondly, his statement expresses  a total disregard, if not disbelief, in the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the aforementioned phrase. Before stating my points, the following must be made clear. 1.)Temptation is simply a solicitation to evil, hence one can be...

Against Protestants: Catholics and Images

Image
Catholics and Images Exodus 20:4-5; "You shall not make for yourself a graven image ... thou shall not bow down to them or serve them." This issue will be addressed under the following headings; 1. Did God condemn the making of images? 2. Do Catholics adore images. 3. Is it wrong to Bow? DID GOD CONDEMN THE MAKING OF IMAGES. Certainly not. God only condemned the making of images AND adoring(worshipping) them. If he condemned the making of images, why did He instruct Moses to make a bronze serpent in Num. 21: 8 - 9; He also instructed Moses to make two cherubim of beaten Gold in Exodus 25:18 - 19. The temple was engraved with images of cherubim, trees flowers, bronze oxen, lions etc. (see 1 kings 6: 23 - 29; 1 kings 7: 25 - 45). It so unfortunate that some self-acclaimed "bible believing Christians" think Catholics outrage God by making statues or images. If they truly follow the teachings of Christ, where did Christ condemn the making of images? Do Cat...

Galileo and the False Accusations against the Catholic Church

Image
The Catholic Church being divine in institution is human in its instrumentality, therefore one would not expect its members to be perfect. As Ernest Hull S.J. puts it, "The Church is the school of the imperfect." If all men were perfect, there would be no need instituting a church. If there exist cases where the ever Church passed judgement in error, the case of Galileo is definitely NOT one of them. Sadly the Church is falsely accused, not just by Protestants but also by "Catholics" who tend to deny the dogma of Papal Infallibility and the papal impostor John Paul II falsely called "saint"  didn't seem to help matters in 1992. Although the Body of Christ - the Church - endures a litany of accusations regarding this issue, this article will refute the following errors: 1.) Galileo was persecuted by the Church for teaching Heresy, 2.) Considering the Galileo case, the Pope can never be infallible, 3.) This was a case of  "Science vs Theolo...
