    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    But the Church doesn't derive its authority from scripture. The apostle Paul wrote, "you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth."

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    Both the most blessed Doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the doctrine of the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ were defined by Catholic church councils long before any Protestant denomination existed. Also, long before any protestant distinctive doctrine existed. No sola fide, no sola scriptura...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    That, sir, is incorrect. Consider closely the words spoken by the Lord. He addresses Saint Peter, saying, "You are Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church..." The use of "you" is singular, indicating he is speaking directly to Saint Peter, not to all the apostles, but solely to Saint...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    I get the information about saint Peter being the leader of the band of apostles from both scripture and from the early church fathers, that is, from sacred tradition. What better source could I go to? Surely not to my own personal interpretations of scripture, down that path is nothing but...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    "Peter" means rock, and "Cephas" (Aramaic for rock) was the name Jesus bestowed upon Saint Peter, making him symbolically steadfast. Jesus was not mistaken. Despite Saint Peter's numerous and evident shortcomings, he emerged as a leader, acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, and was tasked by Jesus...

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    Here's the passage, and a comment from a commentary. Matthew 16:13-20 Revised Version of 1885 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? (14) And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and...

    John chapter 21, Matthew chapter 16, and chapter 18, numerous lists of apostles naming Peter first and so forth. You write as if you do not know of these passages, why is that?

    You've confused being Bishop of Jerusalem with being leader of the church. James was bishop in Jerusalem, so he hosted the first ecumenical council in Jerusalem. As host he opened the council, closed it, and had the privilege of asking for the decisions to be recorded. But Saint Peter spoke and...

    I know, I know. I am helping the site a little with an occasional controversial post. We ought to have more engagement. I thought a call to repentance might get some traction. I've been careful not to overstep any lines.

    A very human Rock, saint Peter (Cephas, the rock) was not declared to be sinless by Jesus, nor was he promised unerring goodness in all his works and actions. After all, he did deny Jesus three times, as Jesus said he would, nevertheless the risen Lord, Jesus, restored him to office asking, "do...

    when I read what you wrote it means "are you Christian first or are you Christian first" because the truth is that both words signify a follower of Christ who is a member of the body of Christ which is the church. Every Christian may encounter uncertainty regarding their calling and the...

    Your assertion may be an overstatement or, at its worst, a relic of 16th-century Protestant propaganda devoid of truth. However, even with certain abuses that any Christian would find disturbing, it does not imply that these abuses define the Catholic Church. Similarly, the misdeeds of...

    Well no. No there are not too many teachings. And no, they are not all infallible. Then you don't agree with Jesus Christ who said, of the church, "and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it." He says "it" as in one, not as in many dozens of denominations and thousands of...

    We're not offering a negotiation about what to believe, Catholics are extending a hand of welcome to all those who want to enter into communion with the Catholic Church. Those who reject the offer today can accept it another day, when the Holy Spirit enlightens their minds and draws them into...
