My response to your post from last night as shown in BOLD text.
Peace and God Bless
I profess to be a faithful Catholic, and while I generally hate to see anyone speak ill of the church and its institutions and leaders, let's just say that traditional conservative Catholics such as myself are not enamored with our current pope.
And a lot of libnuts think it's just a catchy slogan Biden came up with for his plan.
The talking points are always distributed and spoken in unison. You see this with media and you see it with politicians. They repeat the same phrases over and over again. That's not a coincidence.
Progressives are desperate for a win.....

I love Buffalo wings. The best wings I can get here in Orlando are in my air fryer. Just fantastic.
This is more accurate than anyone wants to admit
"Peter was initially known as Simon, and his name "Peter" is derived from the Greek word for rock "Petros". Throughout the Gospels, Peter is clearly the leader of the 12 apostles, confirmed in the passage of Matthew 16:16 you quoted, and culminating in the command from Jesus to Peter to "Feed my lambs" (John 21:15-18). When Peter was martyred, what was the early church to do? The leaders of the church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit discerned St. Linus to take his place. Ultimately, the Catholic Church can ultimately trace its lineage back to Jesus himself."
Jesus was not referring to Peter. He was referring to Himself.
The Roman Catholic Church has used this and verse 19 which speaks of the authority of the church to claim that Peter was the first Pope. Their claim is that Peter is here given the first place of honor and authority within the church and that each successive Pope has received this same honor and power, so that to be a true follower of Christ all Christians must be in submission to the Church of Rome where Peter rules in the person of his successor, the current Pope.
Such an argument is absurd at face value and even more so as you look at the details. First, the authority given in verse 19 was also given to all the apostles, not just Peter. Second, Peter never claimed nor do any of the other apostles give Peter such place of prominence or authority in the Church. In fact, Peter refers to himself it is as a “fellow elder” (1 Peter 5:1) and a “bond-servant” of Christ (2 Peter 1:1).
Third, every opportunity in which Peter’s supposed supremacy could have been reinforced by Jesus, Peter himself, or one of the other apostles, it was not. He is prominent among the apostles but he has no supremacy over any of them. And fourth, neither in this passage or in any other passage is there any evidence for apostolic succession by which any supposed superiority Peter had his transferred to anyone else. To put it simply, the Roman Catholic interpretation of this passage is unbiblical. Jesus Christ is the foundation of and the only head of His church (1 Corinthians 3:11, Colossians 1, etc.).
Furthermore, there is zero Biblical evidence that Peter even visited Rome, let alone established a church there. In fact, there isn't any historic evidence outside of strong assertions by the Catholic church itself. Conversely, there is a ton of evidence including Biblical that the apostle Paul visited and died in Rome. And we know he didn't found the Catholic church, NOR did he mention Peter, which would have been a GLARING omission if Peter was there starting a church! The assertion that the Catholic church can be traced directly to Jesus through Peter is just a myth.

On prayers for the dead, I got this from a Catholic website:
The Catholic Church has taught for centuries that our prayers are of assistance to those who have died. We commend their soul to God’s mercy and pray for them. We can help them not only by our prayers, but also by offering a Mass in their name, by giving alms, by indulgences or other works of penance done for their benefit (CCC 1032).
You left this part out. Catholics are taught that their prayers and MONEY can get someone out of Purgatory. How can you not see this as heretical? There is nothing in the Bible about this. Nor does Purgatory exist in the original canon. The Latin Vulgate added the Apocrypha but it was not accepted by the church originally. And the Latin Vulgate was derived from a corrupt manuscript that was found in the Pope's library.
Frankly, when I look at the size and magnificence of the Vatican and most Catholic buildings, it's no wonder they teach about giving 'alms' for the dead. What a great way to fund their empire!
Wonder if there will be riots and looting over this white guy being shot by police.

Was there another thread dumped in here? I somehow missed all the religion talk
Really? It dominated pages and pages yesterday. I just scrolled past it like I do when there's a page or two arguing with Plat/Dion/Sam/DBlu.
My friend had a nonbeliever tell him there was no heaven or hell and that he was wasting his time worshipping God. He simply told the guy what if I’m right and you’re wrong. I’ll pray for you Plat, I don’t think you want to be wrong.

What to you think that the whole world is in on some conspiracy?
No, just the whole first world.
MayorPete talking zero traffic fatalities like zero covid ought to open eyes. Banning travel by car because of pollution and safety would get you to zero, but he probably misspoke, was taken out of context, or he was just starting a conversation.
Man I hate to see this Catholic versus Protestant feud here . I'm protestant who sent my kids to private Catholic school . I'm familiar with their teachings . I disagree with many of them , but I know many a Catholic who follow the teachings / instructions of the Holy Bible far better than I .. so I dont attempt any judgement . God knows the heart , He can do as He wills at judgement day , I dont have that capability . I'll leave it at that .
Yeah, it is clear as day. All of this is intentional. All of this is a step-by-step thing. Their environmental shit and the "concern for safety" is a license to do the global reset they want. Politicians don't magically adopt the same catchphrases and talking points and agendas at the exact same time without coordination and collusion.
Kind of like a basketball official doesn't reach the college and NBA levels and be incompetent unless it's intentional. Biden's admin making everything worse isn't because they're oblivious. It's because that was the goal.
You're a complete & total RINO by the definitions of this thread with thinking like that.
Maybe? I don't go by definitions of others. I'm concerned about the self implosion of our country and getting these nuts out of power
Yep, but Mitch's wiggles fail the Trumpster purity test. You just have to accept that he's never ever gonna be conservative enough to satisfy them. He might as well announce he's gonna huddle with the Dims.
Coat wings with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
20 minutes in the air fryer at 385 degrees, flipping at 10.
Remove and douse wings liberally with sauce using brush. Make sure you cover them completely.
Back in the fryer for 5 minutes.
Douse again.
Wait 2 min.

Seems a bit sketchy for our military to rely on a foreign enemy for supplies. If I were China I would dip those swabs in something biological and spread it through our military when they use it.
Thanks. I hadn't remembered that till you brought it up.
Jesus said Thou art Peter, and upon THIS rock I will build my church. If he was referring to Peter he wouldn't have said 'this rock.' Also there is a difference in the Greek word Peter which means little stone. The context of the fact that Peter never is given any authority over the other apostles is significant. In fact, the apostle Paul mentions that he actually REBUKED Peter to his face in Galatians 2. Nobody talks to the pope like that. If anyone was the head of the 12, it was Paul, not Peter.
No matter the side, if people only like politicians they 100% agree with, it's going to be a very small pool. Imo it's just inherent in the beast I won't agree with all of them.
Purgatory is simply another version of works-based salvation, something REFUTED by the verses I already gave you in Ephesians and Titus. Literally Purgatory CANNOT exist if those verses are true. It is incongruous with New Testament salvation and grace. If we are capable of earning our way to heaven then there would have been no need for Jesus to die.
As far as the Apocrypha, you're referring to the CATHOLIC church which must be distinguished from the original church. Martin Luther pulled out of the CATHOLIC church. But the New Testament church did not have that book.
Ok, at this point, I think it's fair to say we aren't going to change each other's minds on our religious affiliations and doctrinal beliefs. I will say that I respect your passion and tenacity. As far as I'm concerned, this topic is closed to further discussion.
Beat me to it. Hurt people so much financially that they become desperate and will sell their souls to the devil. These people are disgusting for bribing people who feel like they have no other choice but to comply.
This is just the watchmaker argument applied to proteins. The simple counter argument being that the long protein chains we see in life are the result of selective pressure, not random chance. Evolution is not the old adage of monkeys with typewriters randomly producing Shakespeare given enough time. Those amino acids are all dynamically interacting via chemistry, not randomly bumping into each other and assembling by pure luck.
I like your worldview. Everyone on the left is a genius and you’re the most educated and brilliant people imaginable! You’re rich too and Republicans are all dumb and poor. But then we morph into evil capitalists trying to hold down the helpless brown-skin people.
Of course, this ignores that your party imports the uneducated and low-skilled third world into this country for votes as well as pushing for convicts to get to vote and you have a base that’s apparently unable to get an ID or find the DMV or know how to use the internet.
