Hello Father and how are you?
Saturday I went to my mailbox and inside was a CD and a note from my group leader for my ladies bibles study (denominational Church). We are due to view a video called AMERICAN CHRIST ALONE GOSPEL. Have you seen it or ever heard of it?
She just viewed it to prep for our study and realize there was a lot of Catholic references and did not want me to be blindsided or taken off guard when we viewed it so she brought it over so I can see it first…
So finally the reason I am writing, I feel as though when it came to the Catholics in my opinion the video was using old information, stereotypes… Documentation from the first Trent conference….
Catholics believe
(Faith + Works =salvation)
They broke it down again and called it the
Roman Catholics path to salvation….
They claim saved by:
Faith plus works
Grace plus merit
Christ plus other mediators (priest bishops etc)
Scripture Plus tradition
To the glory of God Mary and the other saints…
I have attended this Bible study for years and have been the Catholic source.
I believe that the only way we have salvation is through Jesus Christ and believing that he lived and died for us… Please correct me if I’m wrong.
In the Catholic catechism
under salvation the definition is the forgiveness is sins and restoration of friendship with God which can be done by God alone page 169
I appreciate any input you can give me so that I can represent our religion correctly.
God’s peace and blessings Happy Easter sincerely Paulette Leigh
Father, I have to say that I am on the side of priests. I tell you, I’ve had to defend priests to a very horrible man. He has been bashing the good name of priests. He claims that after being Catholic for 29 years, he’s seen evil things. He claims that priests and pagans have things in common. He has sent me the most offensive links against them. He said priests are lying and are not as nice as they seem. I really think that this religion or group just doesn’t get it. I love priests and the Church couldn’t run smoothly without them.
I thank you so much for your help in defending our faith. I have had many difficulties with attacks on the Catholic Religion, that I needed help finding the the right words, and i came across your site. It relieves me that i found an intelligent web page. BLESS YOU.
Catholic Jesuits endorsed the Inquisitions, and their banana republic nations in South America reflect what this religion is really all about.
