re: I am not understanding the uproar over the Pope

On the other hand, Catholics have a wide range of diversity of belief and practice, in regards to liturgy (Latin vs. common tongue) or even things like speaking in tongues (charismatic Catholics). You just hang your hat on the common belief in the Pope as the head of the Church and think that unifying government is the only expression of Christ's one Church.
This is not correct at all. Catholics around the world step as one. The mass I attended this weekend is the same as one in Nigeria, the same as the one in France, the same as the one (name your place). It is identical to what the first Christians did to celebrate Christ. It consisted of two parts: Worship of the Word, and worship of the Eucharist. The worship of the Word of God was one and the same in all Catholic places, all readings exactly the same. Most importantly, the meaning of the scripture was exactly the same in every single one of these churches. The prayers to consecrate the Eucharist were exactly the same in all of the churches and is based on what was done back to the earliest Christians.
Additionally, the sacramental gifts offered by the Holy Spirit are exactly the same around the world. The feast days are exactly the same around the world. Honoring Mary, Mother of God, as truly remarkable and special, is the same around the world. The liturgical seasons are exactly the same, and so on and so forth..............
Latin and speaking tongues is an argument that the Church is widely diverse in its beliefs? Not very strong evidence of a non-congruous Church.
Latin is viewed as a sacred language and has served a worldly Church well for thousands of years. In the past, it was viewed side by side with the common language next to it. Now, as in the US, it is used sparingly In my particular parish, a few short songs are in Latin during the mass a few times a year, in which, the patrons understand the meaning even though not speaking the language. It is not an issue whatsoever.
Speaking in tongues is also not a divisive issue as the Church embraces it. Paraphrasing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, there are certain sacramental graces, some which have extraordinary character such as miracles or tongues. They are oriented toward sanctifying grace and are intended for the common good of the Church. (para 2003) This is not an issue either. Nice try, though, trying to make the Church look like its beliefs are all over the place. I will give you credit Mr. Foo, you are a good writer and present yourself in a very civil manner, which I appreciate.
You are wrong on so many levels that the Church "hangs it's hat" on the Pope as the head of the Church as being a unifying government .

Dear Drizzt,
You and I have common ground. We are appalled at pedophilia and its coverup. We have common ground in I believe we share a zero tolerance mentality to the issue.
Where we differ is that you seem to think that only Catholics covered this up. It seems really cool for Protestants to gang up on the Church, while trying to claim some type of moral high ground that pedophilia and its coverups does not apply to them.
Have you ever heard of coverups in Protestant congregations? If so, what were they? How were they handled? If you haven't doesn't it concern you? I, for one, can't recall any major Protestant coverups.
Look at this report from the website of the Stop Abuse Campaign, a voluntary group formed to protect abuse victims.
"The Catholic church seems to have a near monopoly on child sexual abuse in religious settings. But looks can be deceiving, and it appears that child sexual abuse in Protestant churches is more common".
Another excerpt from their website: "It is extremely hard to know the exact rates of child sexual abuse in any institution, especially since it takes survivors, on average, 21 years before talking about their abuse*. But churches, like all other corporate entities that work with the public, have insurance, and only a few insurance providers insure churches. These three companies, in 2007, said they received about 260 reports of sexual abuse per year from Protestant churches and about 228 from Catholic churches."
There are about 1.4 billion Catholics, and about 1 billion Protestants worldwide, so do the math. 1.4 billion Catholics with 228 abuse charges per year versus 1 billion Protestants with 226 abuse reports. Which has the higher rate? Isn't that interesting?
I cannot recall a major story of Protestant abuse in the media. Why is that? Did the Protestants find out about abuses and successfully snuff them out? I don't think so, or they wouldn't have a higher rate of abuses still reported. If they didn't stop pedophilia, and it is not in the media, could it be some instances of successful coverups? If I had to bet, I'd bet heavily on yes. A successful coverup is one you never heard of.
Protestants have no business throwing stones.

It shows you all you need to know that the Council of Bishops got so upset about an AI generated photo of Trump as pope but the same Council of Bishops doesn’t ever seem to care about child molesting priests. The Vatican is completely corrupt. There are many good Catholics but there are not many good Bishops and fewer good Cardinals.
Hello Drizzt, As you seem to be well researched and a subject matter expert on pedophilia in religious organizations, can you share with us the numbers of bad Catholic bishops and cardinals? Please share the research and how you arrived at your number or percentages?
What denomination are you? Do you honestly feel that pedophilia does not exist in your clergy? How would you know?
Do you want Jesus to come back and start writing in the sand again? Are you going to throw the first stone because "your group is special and without fault"?
Unfortunately pedophilia affects all churches, and effort should always be made to root it out.

FooManChoo, You seem like a wonderful guy, but I have to disagree on your response.
You are correct about me equating St Ignatius's use of Catholic Church and attaching it to the modern as well as the early church, since it is one and the same--the line of succession has never been broken. Yes we tout history on our side because the Catholic Church is historical. And you are correct--St Ignatius as well as other church fathers had to defend what was gathered from the apostles from heretical theories popping up by many groups. It is a real stretch for some to come in 1500 years later and redefine Catholic or Universal as inclusive of all Christian churches.
St. Ignatius wrote in his letter, "Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
St Ignatius wrote to obey your bishop, but apparently that had a statute of limitations of 1500 years. After that time I guess, it was ok to break away and contradict the Church, and not work with your bishop to address issues and reform from within. Strange, I did not see that statute of limitations in biblical scripture, as that is our only guideline to follow. Heck, I didn't even see in the Bible that it was ok to remove books of the Bible if you didn't like them. Isn't it strange that our one book and only source of salvation didn't mention that anyone can adjust the Bible to their liking? I'm still trying to work that one out. St. Ignatius had a line in his letter "But avoid all divisions, as the beginning of evils".
As far as transubstantiation, it is the highest level of interpretation of the presence of God in the Eucharist, and if I am ever to be wrong about worshipping, I would easily rather be on the "over worshipped" side of the equation. Would God ever say, "Oh, you're over worshipping me, cut it out, don't, stop it now, I don't deserve such honor." I don't know if you know it but Catholics have Adoration Services in which the blessed host is displayed in a monstrance and available for those to kneel before it, meditate and pray. Parishes also have an Adoration Chapel with the host on display that is open always for worship. Catholics truly adore and worship the Eucharist, and that is not a bad thing, it is a wonderful thing. And I think Protestants can back off of their nuanced criticism of what is in the host because it is counter productive and doing nothing but pulling down worshippers that real love Christ.
At Easter service last week, my Catholic daughter went to a Lutheran worship with her husband and his family. She was allowed to go to communion. While in line for communion, a host was dropped on the floor. She was stunned that neither the one who dropped it nor anyone in line did anything but ignore it. Out of reverence, when she got up it to, she picked it up and ate it. To her the host could not be disrespected by laying on the floor any longer. This is a woman who would never eat off of the floor, but she did not hesitate an instant because of her belief in the incredible gift and love of the Eucharist
You say you believe in the real presence in the Eucharist and I am glad you adore Jesus, but this is a huge Protestant problem as there are so many interpretations on the spectrum of belief. How many other denominations agree with yours? Although I appreciate and am glad to be somewhat aligned with Protestant brothers and sisters, this is my problem: Having so many interpretations about the Eucharist, about interpreting scripture is totally unacceptable. One universal church established by Jesus himself could not possibly have so many conflicting doctrines. The only thing I see as not conflicting between the denominations is having a common rival or enemy to rag on and pull down Catholics.
Correct me if my research is wrong, but didn't your church of Reformed Presbyterian believe the Pope to be the anti-Christ? Didn't your church also declare the US Constitution immoral because it did not list Christ as King of the country? Your members not allowed to vote? Has this been rectified? If so, how is it that a church that is only a few hundred years old could have change it's doctrine so often?
But here's some good news we can both enjoy---Christ is risen and alive!

Hey Golfer, Sorry this is so long but you told me to deal with it so I am dealing with it. Please read the whole thing.
First, as one three time Trumper to another, I am outraged about pedophilia or its cover up in the Church. Even if the number was one, that is one too many. I feel that era has been addressed and corrected to a substantial margin, and anyone involved in a cover up has been removed from any position of significance or influence. The Church always moves slowly, and in this case, too slow in my opinion, but the issue was faced head on and the problem greatly mitigated.
I am not an apologetic for the Church on this subject, but I will say your calling the head of the Church the Pedophile in Chief is quite an insult. No one has claimed Pope Francis was a pedophile, and I do not know of any evidence that he covered up and promoted them.
Also, pedophilia is not just a Catholic Church issue. It is hard to estimate the number of pedophiles in the general population, but many experts feel it may be 4-5%. Any organization that has a large amount of people will have a share of this. I don't care if it is NASA, IBM, the US Army, or the March of Dimes, they will get their share.
Can they be screened out? If so, how? Do you give your employees or applicants a survey asking if they are pedophiles and abuse minors? I don't think that would be effective because no one will admit it.
Which church do you worship in? Do you think it is free of them? If so, how do you know? If not, how many does your church have? Sadly, I think all churches including yours, have pedophilia going on. I hope all churches have zero but I know that's statistically improbable.
I am going to ask you to quit being so harsh on the Catholic Church. First, it is the original keeper and preserver of the Deposit of Faith as received from the Apostles, and passed down under the penalty of cruel death to future generations.
Secondly, the Church put together the canon of the Bible, which ironically is used by Protestants to disparage how little Catholics know about the Bible. Seriously, how ironic.
Third, no organization, I mean NO ORGANIZATION, in the world has done more charitable good than the Catholic Church, and as Trump would say, "It isn't even close". 5,500 hospitals, 18,000 clinics, 16,000 homes for the elderly and those with special needs, with 65 percent of them located in underdeveloped and developing countries. Consider Caritas, the confederation of Catholic aid agencies that spent billions of dollars for poor humanity. Then sum up all the small-scale charitable projects of more than 200,000 Catholic parishes around the world and those of individual religious orders such as the Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans, Opus Dei, Vincentians, and others. Not even close.
The incredible good the Church has done in 2000 years shouldn't be disregarded because of a problem the whole world is dealing with.
Who is the human head of your church? How many clergy does it have compared to about 185,000 Catholic bishops, priests, and deacons? If you haven't heard of pedophilia in your church you can best bet there have been cover-ups. Are you going to come up with a clever name for your religious leader too?
Are you going to be the one Jesus challenged to having a clean slate and able to pick up and throw the first stone?

I don't mean to trouble you again, but can you perhaps, out of all of the multitude of lies, pick out the top three whoppers?
In the meanwhile, perhaps you should channel and debate St Ignatius of Antioch, who, in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (about 107 AD) , used the term Catholic Church (the earliest surviving use of the term) to describe the worldwide body of the Christian faithful. He preached among other things, the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the primacy of the Roman Church, and the authority of priests and bishops.
What are his credentials? He served 40 years as Bishop to Antioch. He was installed there by Apostles Peter and Paul. His belief in the Catholic Church led him to a painful martyrdom. Oh by the way, he was a disciple of the Apostle John. Boy, I can't wait to see his reaction when being schooled by a Prostetant that he was wrong about so much!

Wow BornAgain, your argument is so solid and fool proof that you have convinced me to drop Catholicism and become Protestant! So now, let me join Christ's One True Church. Which denomination should I pick? Reformed Baptist like you? Oh wait, your group does not agree with Martin Luther's group? Didn't Martin Luther start the whole thing off? And now they are not right? Does your group not agree with any of the other Baptist groups? Or with the Methodists? Or with the (fill in the blank)? Are they too all wrong? Oh my gosh....I find there are over 45,000 denominations of God's One True Church. However shall I screen all of these and pick the correct one? Or maybe I should just trust that you've gone through all 45,000 and confidently settled on Reformed Baptist as God's One True Church?
I will say BornAgain that you have been taught totally wrong and have little understanding about the Catholic Church. You are wrong on so many levels. Maybe one day you might have an educational event about what Catholics really believe and how they really worship. If so, you will feel foolish about your harsh remarks.

The one who let little black boys rub the hair on his legs while he was a life guard? The one who sniffs little girls' hair during photo ops? The one I suspect you voted for? So did you vote for him Golfer1865?

"Catholicism is like the "fake Christianity"?
Are you talking about the One, True Church established by Jesus 2000 years ago? The exact same Church that approximately 45,000 denominations of Protestants base about 95% their beliefs on? The Church that 1600 years ago examined existing scriptures and applied four tests to see if they should be selected for what we now call the Bible? The same Bible which I assume critics like you use?
Assuming you are Protestant, isn't is ironic that you use the Catholic written Bible to lead you to eternal salvation? If Catholics are "fake Christianity", do you still think it is wise to use their "fake Bible"?
I don't like this debate by Catholics and Protestants for we are all are brothers and sisters in Jesus. Yet, it is ashamed that someone like Bigbro24 who probably belongs to a denomination of (how many? 100,000, 500,000 3,000,000) has the audacity to label 1.2 billion Catholics world wide as "fake Christianity".
Sir, you can do better.

re: Best mac and cheese in Baton Rouge area
Posted by lehaus45 on 1/13/25 at 10:03 am
Having time to do some research before the birthday event, my wife and I went on a mac and cheese crawl to four of the earlier recommendations: Hannah's Q, Our Mom's, The Big Cheezy, and Gatti's. We brought home samples and let my granddaughter judge them.
The results were:
1. Gatti's
2. Our Mom's
3. Hannah's Q
4. The Big Cheezy
This surprised my wife and I as we thought she'd pick Our Mom's since it is the most like Kraft, even a deeper yellow color like Kraft than the others.
Not surprisingly, she did not like The Big Cheezy at all, as my wife and I didn't care for it either. The sample we had few noodles, almost 50-50 ratio to the Bechamel sauce, and the seasoning was not that enticing.
My wife and I both preferred Hannah's because it served a smoke gouda cheese that actually had smokey flavor. We ranked Our Mom's second, Gatti's, and The Big Cheezy fourth.
The crawl was kind of fun and we may check out a few more places. Thanks again for the input.

Faraway, Before you go ripping the Catholic Church, you should do much more research on the Bible and its translations from the original languages it was written in. "Brothers and sisters" as you see it in our American Bibles does not translate to siblings in the original texts.
Jesus had no siblings. Just from a common sense standpoint, why would Jesus, while dying on the cross, turn the care of his beloved mother over to his favorite apostle if she had so many sons and daughters to care for her?
There are approximately 45,000 protestant denominations. How do you know which one has the correct interpretation of scripture?

I think Desantis, and Ramaswamy will be great presidents in the future. Their failings now is due to being too much like Trump, and voters like me will vote for Trump now because this is his last go around based on age. The other two's time is coming.
Bless President Trump for showing those that will follow him how to expose, talk back too, and otherwise dismantle the biased treatment from the MSM. :usa:

9-3
They lost their dominance but will linger toward the top and stay in striking distance. I envision them being similar to LSU in regards to them staying in the hunt and making a true run at the ship every few years.

Common sense solutions to the problems our nation faces will be applied.
-He'll start off with better appointments as he is experienced and wiser in that regard.
-He will get resignations from the heads of several agencies starting with the DOJ and FBI.
-He will continue to expose the fraudulent press and the hoaxes.
-He will target the Soros-backed district attorneys and judges which have rendered our justice system almost meaningless in certain cities, and appoint another justice to the supreme court.
-He will push to abolish departments like education and IRS.
-Of course finish the border and enforce immigration policy, punish sanctuary cities breaking the law.
-He'll revoke visa's from foreigners visiting our country that support terrorists.
-The biggest thing he will do is to restore order in the global arena. He'll find a solution to Russia/Ukraine war and fully back Israel in obliterating Hamas. He'll let China know that Taiwan is off limits.
Again, common sense solutions for American problems.
