You Tube Debate on Catholicism & why it is the true Christian Religion!

I found a video on youtube that is about the Catholic Church and the many truths that she has. A Person by the name of C2D has had a field day of bashing my faith and the true faith ordained by God.. that is the Catholic one. Catholic was derived from the Latin word Kathlicos which meant universal. The Universal church aka Catholic has been mentioned as early as 67AD by one of the apostles and from then on it was officially in the writings of the Church Fathers.

C2D claims that the Catholic Church is the anti-Christ and so on and so forth. Making such claims that he cannot prove is frivolous and won't really be going anywhere. I would like to discuss why the Catholic Church is the one and ONLY church ordained my Christ and why it should remain the ONLY church that can claim that it goes back to Christ. The Holy Spirit said that Hell would not prevail against his church untill the end of time.. he didn't say multiple churches... he meant his one and Only Kathlicos church.

The Protestant reformation is a Heresy, one of the longest living heresies in the history of Christianity. I believe the only other heresy that lasted close to this was back in the 200-500. Still further is new (faith) continues splitting up. Christ only meant to have one fold.. he didn't want to have 48K different non Catholic churches all proclaiming to be with his flock.. no Christ started one church, intended one to stay until the end of time.

What are your thoughts on this.. and if your non-catholic can you prove to me that the church that you attend can be traced back to christ through a hierarchy of leaders here on earth and that Christ if he were to come today would approve of your new religion against the old one that he started?

Is the Priesthood needed, and was it ordained by Christ?

Here is a question, is the Priesthood needed, and was it ordained by Christ. Most Protestant faiths do not have a Priesthood, they had leaders such as Pastors, but none that are actually ordained by an authority that is linked directly to Christ. The Jewish people have a Priesthood as do the Catholics... but why not the Protestants?

The Holy Eucharist

Jesus told us at the last supper taking the unleaven bread "Take this and eat of it, for this is my body which has been given up for you, Do this in remembrance of me".. then taking the wine he offered it up saying "Take this and drink of it, for this is my blood, which is going to be shed for you, do this in remembrance of me".

Participating in the ritual of the last supper is the pinnacle of Catholic belief and theology. It is the most important part of the mass, and it is a time when we gather about the table to share the body of Christ with our fellow Christians. Note Christ's words, "This IS my Body, This IS my Blood". Catholics believe that this is the true Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, it isn't just a symbolic picture, and it isn't a representation.. it IS the real body and blood of Christ transfigured through the power of the Priest at which time Christ is present to change the wine into blood and the bread into his flesh.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it truly the body and blood of Christ, and are you familiar with the many Eucharistic miracles that have happened over the years and still happen today?

SDA the cult that is dying out

First off I just have to say that I posted last night on the WAHM boards in response to a question about the Heretic Ellen G. White who was supposedly a Prophetess of God for the Seventh Day Adventists. The SDA are a cult started in the 1800's by William a Preacher for the Baptists. William had a vision (supposedly) where God told him that in 1844 he was going to return.. when God didn't return william had to change his beliefs a bit, then again God did not return on the next day that he said he would. He tried to close out his new sect but instead it split into a bunch of smaller groups that all started espousing different beliefs. One of the them was led by Ellen, Ellen said she had a vision, her vision too did not work out and she had to revise her prophecy just as her predecessor. Not very surprising... Anyways today there are around 600K of these cultish members who do not serve Govts, pay taxes, drink beer or alcohol (in public, but are known to in the privacy of their homes), gamble, sin, cuss, ect... the list goes on. Basically they are awaiting the immediate return of Christ who will take them to heaven for a thousand years while the devil and non SDA are left here to rot and suffer. The jehovahs are a break off of this group as well.. My post listed biblical verses, and common logic to the question this particular person asked and less than an hour after I posted it, the whole thing was removed and I was accused of thinking I was right and condemning others. What i find sad is that when people are confronted with the truth they tend to call you a liar, hide the truth, and then flame you.. I got all three and more. That is fine, we'll see who is left laughing in the end.

The Catholic Identity

Is the Catholic church the one and only church of Christ? And what do you view of the recent document release by the Pope affirming the teaching that the Catholic Church is the one and only? Give me your thoughts on all this.

The Third Secret... has it been fully revealed?

Back in the 1930's 3 little children in Spain were to witness what is now called the greatest apparition in history. This occured in Fatima and is now a world renowned shrine. Jacinta, Franciso, and Lucia were to witness a multitude of visions of our Blessed Mother, hell, and other spiritual visions that would come to shape the world. There were 3 secrets tied to this vision and we were told the first two back in the 1930's, the 3rd secret was written and sent to the Pope who made a decision not to make it public... and so did the following 2 Popes after him. In the year 2000 Pope John Paul II made the 3rd secret public due to alot of pressure from several factions including the people that seemed to follow Fr. Gruner and his crusade of what he says is the Vatican hiding info from the people about the full 3rd secret. So I am asking you all now.. do you think the full entirety of the 3rd secret has been revealed and if not, why?

Spiritual Warfare...

Ok, So it took me way longer to come back than I expected! I will try to keep my blog up to date from now on. I want to bring this blog around to focusing more on faith, current issues in the world. I find myself in constant spiritual battles most of the time... there is always that person whispering something tempting in my ear, or trying to get me to break my vows.. ect... I seem to only find solace in Prayer and my best friend St. Michael the Archangel... who is also my patron saint.

I'm back!

This is just a note to all my loyal bloggers, I am back! Yes, St. Michael is coming back to blog once again! So keep a lookout, I will posting again very soon.
