Ironically, while a few have speculated about the poor Jews being singled out for anti-Semitism because of our refusal to circumcise as Christians, Paul paints a picture that is quite the opposite. (Do they still make millstones?) When God instituted Old Covenant circumcision, the small incision at the tip of the foreskin was never intended to cause pain or suffering, but rather the several drops of shed blood served merely as a sign or symbol of the covenant
What Did the Saints Say about Islam? - OnePeterFive
Spencer Fun fact, many Christians in many regions of the former Byzantine Empire actually enjoyed more freedom under Arab rule after the conquests because they had been illegal and seen as heretics by the Byzantines and so were persecuted. Kirry I agree that Islam is a diversion from the truth established by Satan but lets also remember that we cannot know the eternal fate of those who have been indoctrinated from birth into this heresy

What better encounter is there than the Eucharist? Or the Sacrament of Reconciliation? In my experience, young Catholics leave the Church because they are ignorant of the Faith.

That said, the doctrine of the final purification of the elect, apart from Heaven or Hell, is clearly taught in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. (Foretold in the Old Testament in Isaiah 22:15-25.) Luke 22:29-30 I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father conferred one on me: you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Church
Indeed many of the expressions employed by Him in relation to the society He was establishing are only intelligible in the Light of these prophecies and of the consequent expectations of the Jewish people.

Thus the Holy Spirit was also given to him in a hidden way before the glorification of the Lord, but it was given in a more manifest way after the manifestation of his divinity.

Gay marriage will split the Catholic Church - Spectator Blogs
Since homosexuals do what is observed in nature and there is no evil, then according to you, Christians who kill their young just as in nature some animals kill their young, do no wrong.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baptism
When the Redeemer declares (John 3) that it is necessary to be born again of water and the Holy Ghost in order to enter the Kingdom of God, His words may be justly understood to mean that He includes all who are capable of having a right to this kingdom. The crown of the child's head is now anointed with chrism, "to give him to understand that from that day he is united as a member to Christ, his head, and engrafted on His body; and therefore he is called a Christian from Christ, but Christ from chrism" (Catech.)

Is the Roman Catholic Church the one true church founded by Jesus Christ?
Salvation is the free eternal mercy of God through Jesus Christ, and He stands ready and able to receive every sinner that will come to Him by repentance and faith. And it goes without saying that those in heaven, being free of the body and the distractions of this life, have even greater confidence and devotion to God than anyone on earth
Catechism of the Catholic Church
In the liturgy of the Mass we express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine by, among other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration of the Lord. Through Christ the Church can offer the sacrifice of praise in thanksgiving for all that God has made good, beautiful, and just in creation and in humanity
Day for Life is the day dedicated to praying for the protection of human life and raising awareness about its meaning and value at every stage and in every condition
The Sacrament of Baptism
Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem..." "The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. When Jesus commanded the Apostles to go into all the world and to preach the Gospel to the whole creation, that those who believe be baptised and saved, Jesus made faith an important part of the Sacrament of Baptism (C.C.C
--- ( E ) As a result of baptism,You also say, " and the Father declares us to be his beloved Sons." That is FALSE AGAIN! The Father speaks of Jesus not us. 8:3 and Jesus in Mat 4:4 say, " Man does not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that comes from the mouth of God." Jesus, In fact speaks against TRADITION in John 5:34, "Not that I accept human testimony." ++++ and John 2:25
Iconoclasm (7th and 8th Centuries) This heresy arose when a group of people known as iconoclasts (literally, "icon smashers") appeared, who claimed that it was sinful to make pictures and statues of Christ and the saints, despite the fact that in the Bible, God had commanded the making of religious statues (Ex. Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him" (CCC 2089)
How The Catholic Church Started
The primary difference in Faith at the heart of the schism was the argument over the addition of the filioque statement (Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, not just the Father) to the creed. And he said, 'For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.' As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him
