Roman Catholic policies vs. Original Christianity of the "on this rock I build my church" days |
|
Here's one of the original policies: a married man could become a Roman Catholic priest even if he had never been a member of any church other than a Roman Catholic Church.
Why discriminate against married men? Why not have a policy that everybody has to start as a priest, minister, or pastor in some other Christian church before being eligible to become a Roman Catholic priest?
The Great Schism of the year (approximately) 1050 split the church. What justifies the claim that the western part of the church inherits rock status? Why doesn't the eastern part have at least an equally good claim to rock status?
The simplest policy for the Roman Catholic Church is to claim to be the rock of Peter, and to tell potential converts from Protestantism nothing about the Great Schism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Then awkward questions don't arise. The next simplest policy is to spread disinformation, consisting of much accurate information, and a small number of false or misleading statements in strategically important places.

3. Why does a church that claims to be built on the rock of Peter |
|
use mostly Paul in their teachings??
Why does a church that claims to be the only path to salvation and their god is the only god refuses to open their doors to me and let me see all the books, all their papers, all the things that they are hiding??
Any church that does not fully open their books and doors to everyone, has things they are hiding and should not be trusted.

4. Hey, I was raised Greek Orthodox. |

We are the ORIGINAL church. Catholics with their false Popes are just break-away imposters.
Our services were always much cooler with candles and blood-red easter eggs.
So there. :p
