I have that asswipe on ignore so didn't see their comment. Just want to agree 100% with yours. You are always polite and civil. Those who disagree with you? Not so much.
Papal front runners. If the Black guy becomes the next pope, white Republicans will scream DEI till their buttholes explode

It is one of the Ten Commandments not the Ten Optionals Yes most Protestants observe Sunday because most of them can be traced back to the Catholic Church and they split from it taking some false teaching with them.

In Judaism they re the 10 guides that point to 613 commandments (mitzvots) positive and negative
There are 248 positive Mitzvot, which are actions one is commanded to do, and 365 negative Mitzvot, which are actions one is commanded not to do.
The 613 commandments, known as {mitzvot} in Hebrew, are a set of guidelines and instructions found within the {Torah} (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible). These mitzvot encompass a wide range of topics, including religious practices, ethical behavior, and social justice.

I know you THINK they have not changed God's word but they think they have.
This is from a Catholic Catechism
Second, from Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism we read this: “Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.”
Here is another Catechism
First, from the Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann. “Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”
Here is a well know Catholic book on the Catholic faith.
The Faith of Millions, p. 473. “But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn’t it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistency but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text from the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair.”
I have more but you should get the point.

Well said. My standard is "If it makes you a better person, then it's a valid faith." I'll let you decide if you've seen any betterment among our JPP "Christians."
Stop making me agree with you.
Let me know how that works out for you on judgement day.

no they don't.
The Spanish inquisition was ordered by the King of Spain, not the pope.
Humans can be cruel and fallible, whether they are Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox.
But there is nowhere in Christian scripture and teaching that says to emulate other Christians. You're supposed to emulate the example of Jesus.

Jesus tried to take Jewry away from all that.

the pope was down with it.
quit being fucking stupid.
why do you whitewash a satanic pedophile organization?
you're ill
No you showed me where Jesus gave them the gospel and told them to spread it. None of them , ZERO, can be shown in the Bible absolving anyone of their sins.
You have misinterpreted the symbolism of what Christ said. The disciples knew what he meant. They never thought they had the power to decide who could be forgiven of sin . Not even one time.
Ever heard of Cardinal Bellarmine? Pope Clement made him Cardinal Inquistor. He was a brutal man who killed many protestants.
You would think God's church would never slaughter thousands of men women and children.
NOAgain, we do not think that.
"Protestants claim the Bible is the only rule of faith, meaning that it contains all of the material one needs for theology and that this material is sufficiently clear that one does not need apostolic tradition or the Church’s magisterium (teaching authority) to help one understand it...
Catholics, on the other hand, recognize that the true “rule of faith”—as expressed in the Bible itself—is Scripture plus apostolic tradition, as manifested in the living teaching authority of the Catholic Church, to which were entrusted the oral teachings of Jesus and the apostles, along with the authority to interpret Scripture correctly.
"In the Second Vatican Council’s document on divine revelation, Dei Verbum (Latin: “The Word of God”), the relationship between Tradition and Scripture is explained: “Hence there exists a close connection and communication between sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture. For both of them, flowing from the same divine wellspring, in a certain way merge into a unity and tend toward the same end. For sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit. To the successors of the apostles, sacred Tradition hands on in its full purity God’s word, which was entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit.
“Thus, by the light of the Spirit of truth, these successors can in their preaching preserve this word of God faithfully, explain it, and make it more widely known. Consequently it is not from sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws her certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore both sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated with the same devotion and reverence.”
Scripture and Tradition
Protestants claim the Bible is the only rule of faith. Catholics, on the other hand, recognize that the Bible does not endorse this view.www.catholic.com

Agreed. While Protestantism kicked the door wide open to different interpretations of the Bible, even the Catholics split into at least three denominations: Roman, Greek and Russian. Cultures, including religions, evolve just like animals do. I think geographical distances and a lack of electronic communication was a big part of it. Buddhists are also split into three major denominations: Theravada, Tibetan and Zen.
It would be excellent. He did a fine job as Pontiff.
Sorry, I meant Francis. Pope Francis.. LOL The one who just died not the one that resigned and died in 2013. They take his anti Capitalist message and say it means he is socialist (not communist, socialist)...

These are guesses, and all the "front runners" usually do not get elected Pope by the Cardinals. (Did you know only Cardinals less than 80 years old get to vote? I didn't until yesterday).
The saying is "could not care less".... A message from the PCA (Pedantic Club of America).
If you could care less it means you care a bit. If you cannot care any less you do not care one whit.
