Oh, for crying out loud, I don’t have time for this! Try other OSV articles, CF, CAF which has shut down but you can probably access the claims through Google. It’s all over the Catholic sites. This is the last time I’ll show you proof of what everybody else is able to find all on their own...

Even though I am fully vaccinated i was never too worried about catching Covid. It’s other diseases/germs that scare me. A couple nights ago we were eating in a fairly nice restaurant. There was an elderly couple in the next booth and the man was having a hard time hearing. His wife or whoever...

What do you mean the LCMS church near you is pretty low? I ask because I’ve only been to one other Lutheran church other than my own and it was like a Catholic Mass. The LCMS church I go to isn’t anything at all like a Mass. We do have Sacraments and things akin to a Lutheran church but the...

When in person services were postponed, I watched church online but now things are getting back to normal, more and more. In fact sometime this month wearer going to have coffee and donuts again. We also have fruit, tea and juice.

Wow, you’ve got a long drive to go to church. I’m spoiled. We lived close to the church I grew up in...I used to walk there and to school there. More recently, our subdivision is across from my old Catholic church and now we live about 4 or 5 minutes away from my new church, too.

Does anyone here do volunteering for their Lutheran (or other) church? I’m trying to get to know more people at mine and so I helped our head pastors‘ wife decorate our annual flowered crosses and she recently called me and asked if I wanted to help a small group of church members decorated for...

I didn’t think your post was harsh at all.

I still almost always make the sign of the cross. My prayers feel incomplete when I don’t. My pastor has no problem with that, either.

Ah, read the board yourself. And for that matter other Catholic boards.

No.

You have my permission to derail the thread. I think the answer to my OP is that Jesus started Christianity but did not start Catholicism or any other denomination, correct? Now, more about transubstantiation. I kind of get it but have a difficult time putting it into words. I will say that for...

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Does the dictionary differentiate between catholic and Catholic? Would the Lutheran Church, particularly the LCMS be considered large? Do Lutheran pastors have as much or nearly as much study and training as priests do?

Wait a minute....transubstantiation is a fancy way of saying the bread and wine are turned into Jesus’s body and blood. And it says it in the Bible, though Lutherans believe it remains bread and wine and becomes the body and blood of Jesus. Or something like that.

ok, so why then do so many Catholics not seem to know this?

I don’t think all Catholics say this, wanting power. I think many of them heard this for years like I did and believe it to be true.

Are you sure you don’t mean the Assumption of Mary?

Can you give some examples of their teachings and structure that has changed since Apostolic times?

And how do we know that particular church is the oldest?

Which church is the oldest?
