Is Catholicism true and...

[Brickjectivity]

To be fair, our history is chocked full of examples of us not keeping our noses out of everyone’s business.

Also of being our being interfered with by outside players. In many cases our mere existence is too much for some.

The perspective of truth depends on who is asking. A Catholic is more likely to consider Catholicism true and a non-Catholic to consider Catholicism false.

I consider Catholicism to be founded on truth and there is much to be admired in regards moral and spiritual truths. As the largest faith community on the planet from diverse cultures it has proven capacity to unite people around a common cause. It has already achieved global unity.

It has?

Mainly because of what I perceive as the call of a certain Catholic and his accomplice to call for the resurrection of the Roman empire.
I agree though that I believe it is unlikely that any Abrahamic religion is completely true or completely false.
In my opinion.

Local Erastian Anglican at your service, we exist all around the world, all 85 million of us, how may I help?

It's been a while since I looked into Catholicism, and I seem to recall (though my memory is not a particularly good one) coming to the personal conclusion (in my opinion) that most of its central claims fall into the category of highly improbable to be true.

Yes. The same as religious claims in general.

I also believe that if enough people discover a religion to be untrue it loses its power to unite those people and that reaching global unity will become improbable without some means of eliminating the dissenters.

I think global unity must be achieved by overgrowing all kinds of tribalism. This means also to overcome the divide between believers and non-believers, same religion and different religion...

................... However, the Revelation of St. John says that God will eventually make the truth evident to all at the end of days, so we'll at least all know what's the real deal eventually, in my belief.

Yes. I agree that the Truth will be evident - the real deal - when the powers in charge are saying, " Peace and Security....." as recorded at 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 that will prove to be the precursor to the coming Great Tribulation of Revelation 7:14,9 before Jesus takes the needed action of Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-15.

Perhaps the political can also think global unity must be achieved by 'overthrowing', overthrowing religion.
With backing the United Nations can be strengthened to become God's arm of the law to go up against corrupted religion.
Even starting with 'Christendom' ( so-called Christian but mostly in name only - Matthew 7:21-23 )

 

[URAVIP2ME]

In chapter 4, verse 8 and again in verse 16,, 1JN we read that "God is love," but a very particular kind of love, for the word chosen in the Greek text is agape. Agape is a purely other-directed love, a love that seeks no response and demands no return, a love centered totally on the beloved.........)

Yes, God "IS" love - 1 John 4:8 & 1 John 4:16 Yes, agape' love.
I do find a response at 1 John 1:7 A.
Please notice the little word " if ". But, " if " we walk..... so, one must walk in the light, keep on walking.....
" IF " carries with it BIG meaning.
This is a reason why Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45 says Jesus' ransom covers MANY and does Not say all.

This is a reason why Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45 says Jesus' ransom covers MANY and does Not say all.

Interesting you note this. Several years ago, it was addressed by Benedict XVI who chose 'for the many', not all.

#23 of friend pearl religion (Catholic), thread " Is Catholicism true and... "



The above quotes/references are from Post #23 of our friend @pearl, Religion " Catholic".

Friend! The above quotes/references are neither from (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, nor originated by him, please, right?:
The Roman Catholic Holy Bible with the words of Jesus in red.

How could a Catholic base the concepts/creeds of his religion on what is not from (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, please?
Do the Catholics deem themselves greater than (Jesus) Yeshua that they do like this, please? Right?
Isn't it a disrespect to (Jesus) Yeshua- the Israelite Messiah, please?
Right?

Regards

Fourth Lateran Council, (1215), the 12th ecumenical council, generally considered the greatest council before Trent. The council was years in preparation as Pope Innocent III desired the widest possible representation. More than 400 bishops, 800 abbots and priors, envoys of many European kings, and personal representatives of Frederick II (confirmed by the council as emperor of the West) took part."
