This was quite humorous for me. I really don't care for denominational divisions so I consider myself a believer. My husband is very Catholic and must really love me since he tolerates my Pentecostal flair. Bottom line, we love Jesus and that's what matters! Thanks Celia!
what exactly about the Catholic Church could win your praise/allegiance/endorsement? the Inquisition? the critical assistance its members provided to fleeing Nazis? its participation in the systematic dismemberment of Mesoamerican cultures? its designation of sexual desire as sinful? its perversion of Christ's teachings? the happy hunting ground it has afforded sexual predators?
Mark, great LOL reply to this article. To add to your push back, read the tiny book "The Essene Gospel of Peace". No one knows about it. It will one day replace most if not all of the entire new Testament Bible of the Catholic Church. It is a first person account of the words of Christ as written by his fellow Essene community. There are today two known ancient documents of those words. One was found by an intrepid courageous intellectual, Dr. Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, in 1923 and the 2nd copy was amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls. Most Christians I know say "I'm a Christian. How did I not know of this?" THEY DIDN"T WANT US TO KNOW the first-person written account of Christ's teachings. Guess where the document was found in 1923 by Szekely? Wait for it.... the secret archives of the Vatican. "Lost" for 1,700 year (it is known the Vatican was given that document in the 3rd century by a Christian Nestorian Monk order who had protected it for nearly 300 years. In my 70+ years I have infrequently read the bible - it just didn't work for me. I read the Essene Gospel over and over every night. THE Words .... of Christ. IN that Gospel Christ talks mainly about how to live a healthy life - connecting with the Spiritual Father and the Mother Earth and learning, from life about the "laws" for spiritual and physical well-being.
Also the historian Josephus wrote about Christ and the Essenes in the 1st Century - in his time. He said the Essene elders were well over 100 years of age and the Essenes were "nearly devoid of illness." How does a government control a people who are healthy, happy and WISE when every child has multiple generations of wisdom in their family. Also note that age over 100 is not unusual at all but it was rare for the Romans then. A British Lieutenant, Henry Timberlake, lived with the indigenous Cherokee in 1762. In his autobiography he wrote that "the elders (eldest) are 150 years old and... still quite active." AND "the older women do physical things that I am not capable of doing (he was age 35, 5' 9" and a FIT soldier) and he noted that the Chief's mother (who was in her mid/late 80's) was routinely carrying what he estimated as "200 weight" (224LBS) of wood on her back for 1 to 2 miles." God's design of "normal" - not Dr. Fauci's OR the Pope's.
To add to your list for mock praise/allegiance/endorsement - how about "confession" - a perfect opportunity for a pedophile priest to assess his next victim. Right?
Long after my WWII Marine Dad passed on, Mom finally could reveal a story. Our "Monsigneur" made a veiled threat to my Dad and Mom regarding their eldest child - a 10 year old girl then (1958?). He said "Well if something happens to your daughter, it's not my fault." What do you think a battle tested WWII Marine would do in such a situation. He yanked that evil one over his desk flipped him upside down, put his face in the priests and spittingly said: "I've killed many better men than you." And Dad/Mom left. No police were called. In coming days my dad would wait in his car for the priest to go for a walk and then Dad would aggressively cut him off with his car and get out and threaten.
As Archbishop Vigano wrote to POTUS DJT - "There is a great evil in the Church." It's always been evil. A control mechanism.
Regarding the comment "you may be able to sell me on the Catholics". HOLD ON......
I grew up in a devout CAtholic family and went to school and church "religiously" until "emancipation" at age 18. I knew of pedophilia before I ever heard the word. Fortunately I was not a victim. Others were not as fortunate - maybe it was because my Dad was well known to have been a fighting "hit the beach four times" Marine in WWII and although a good person, he had little patience for nonsense AND no tolerance of harm to children and no hesitation to harm those who would harm children and the innocent. Here's what everyone, especially Catholics need to know about the coman catholic church. Lower case intentional.
1) The former Nuncio (rep to USA) for popes (Francis & Benedict), Carlo Maria Vigano wrote TWICE to POTUS DJT and told him "There is a great evil in the Vatican." This was around 2018. I read both of those letters posted on the internet. I watched Vigano's corresponding video talks. Recently Catholic actor Mel Gibson on Youtube has talked about Vigano's view that an "imposter church hijacked" the RCC long ago. He says "Sure seems that way."
2) The long-time Vatican watcher/reporter, Leo Zagami, told Alex Jones (Info Wars) on camera around 2018 that "The Vatican is at the center of child trafficking worldwide." Zigami grew up in Italy and has written at least 9 books with the main title: 'Confessions of an Illuminati." He grew up in that world but moved to America.
3) Around 2020, a health commission in France released its report of an investigation of instances of pedophilia in the France Catholic Churches, Schools and other associated organizations (they noted "e.g., The Boy Scouts"...) from 1952 to 2018. This commission identified 300,000 instances/victims of pedophilia BY about 3,000 priests, etc. Now imagine how many people had already died or committed suicide or wouldn't come forward to relive that horror and shame. Or were in mental institutions or nursing homes. How many were afraid of the consequences, once again, to them if they did speak out and "name names." Note that France (square mileage) is 80% that of Texas so imagine having identified 300,000 victims of pedophilia in the state of Texas shrunk by 20%.
There is a great evil in the Vatican. Vigano was not "mincing words" or "pulling punches", in such a horrific and serious matter - in writing to the POTUS of the USA. As a former Catholic I advise Catholics NOT to ever go to "confession" again. Talk directly to God. And stop reading ANY bible recommended by "organized (crime) religion)". Instead read the little known ancient document (in book form today via Amazon): 'The Essene Gospel of Peace." It was written in the 1st C.E. AD by the Essenes in Christ's community. Make sense right, that people would write down what he said. Only two copies today are known to exist. One was found in 1923 in the (wait for it) "Secret Archives of the Vatican" (lost? or Hidden?). The 2nd, a confirming and validating copy was amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls 1946. Clearly the Essenes went to great lengths to record Christ's spoken words in real time, make copies and send those copies on different routes to protect them.
Note the Historia Josephus of the 1st C.E. AD wrote about Christ and the Essenes. He said the Essenes "were long-lived (well over 100 years of age) and nearly devoid of illness." Imagine being a teenager and you have question about life and you have 5-7 generations of wisdom in your family above you. How does a government control such family based wisdom and knowledge about life. Difficult. How does a government control people "nearly devoid of illness." Can't use the old "COVID19" trick again OR "vaccines will save you" when you just need to live by the natural "laws" that Christ said were 'laws" from our "Earth Mother."
Just plain funny and charming in my humble opinion. But what do I know about religion. I'm not one of the "intellectuals" who feels a need to criticize it. So thank you Celia. I enjoyed that little laugh interlude.
That is actually really cool to see all those demonstrations in the same place. I’m new to Christianity, it was truth searching that lead me here, and there’s no going back, once you see what your up against, the evil, you realize the only way to safety is Jesus Christ, it’s not a fairy tale it’s 200% real, I can say this without question without fear it’s real, find God, he’s waiting!!! Anyways, I keep saying that if I could start a church it I would try to bring all denominations in because it’s to divided and we need to stick together, they are betting on us staying divided, we should prove them wrong and start uniting our churches!! Just a thought!!
Correct me if I'm wrong.But you did just say all that, Personally I found him to be funny. But unfortunately I guess I'm not the intelligent demographic like you Think yourself to be,a little full of self-righteous indignation for my taste, but that's just my humble opinion.Have a great day in your paper bag
I wonder how many people in Mensa are religious? I hosted a Mensa book group in Marin County, CA and out of the ~15-20 in the group, only 1 was religious. Also found about the same ratio in the Bay Area.

Thank you. I needed that!

"Intelligent" people like you seem to be lacking a sense of humor. Too busy feeling superior and judging others. How sad for you.
