Orthodox easter is still a few weeks away, Sunday 5-May Catholic Easter was last Sunday, 31-March

It is as if you tempt God to condemn you by taking the course that you describe. It is not wise to tempt the Lord our God.

Just read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or if you want, also read the Catechism of the Council of Trent, and if you need ancient catechesis then Saint Augustine wrote a catechism. There's no shortage of documents to tell you what Catholics teach, and when you want official dogmatic...

People come and go in every community. It's not unusual.

Only God knows what they did, if it was sin, and if it is forgiven. Why are you asking me this stuff, as if you think I ought to know the secret things of God and the inner thoughts of other people's minds/hearts?

It seems that your posts are a little bit dogmatic about alleged differences between Catholics and Protestants where following teaching is concerned. Is it, in your opinion, a virtue to create teaching unique to oneself rather than follow the teaching of one's Church? What do Catholics believe...

Isn't the above what is usually stated by Protestant denominational teachers? And isn't following Protestant denominational teaching rather similar to following anybody that claims to teach the truth? There isn't much to differentiate one group from another as far as their faithful following goes.

Welcome, have a good time chatting.

Are there any white people (of faith) in the bible, if so who?
