Catholicism: the world's biggest cult?
Allen-T:
I am a christian, Baptist to be specific. I think it is of the uttermost importance that all of us christians who are committed to JTF stay as unified as possible within the context of JTF and it's work. I think healthy debate over Catholic/Baptist/Lutheren/etc. is a good thing, but it has NO PLACE WHATSOEVER here on this forum or any JTF context. Those are my thoughts on this subject.
leo:
I'm not Catholic and I am sure Catholics have their issues like every other group including the Jewish religon has. What get me though is the double standard that people defend people like Michael Jackson who abused boys yet when a small number of people in the church do it they crusify the whole Catholic religon. I was reading that on the boards here and I just thought that the double standard is pretty disturbing.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
I think all pedos, regardless of background and religion, should be shot, as should those who support or cover for them.

No it's not Catholicism it's reconstructionist and Reform Jews ;D

Well, why does a religion need a bank?
What about the Jesuits? Nice people?
Money and power can be a corrupting influence.
My feeling is that although Roman Catholicism is not all bad, it does not measure up to Presbyterianism or the Pentecostals, for instance, who do not have such a technocratic stucture. The power of the message is evident in Catholicism, but I simply cannot trust an organisation with that much money, power, influence.
That said, the Church of England's (protestant) Archbishops are really political appointments. They are not really appointed by the Head of State (King or Queen).
Margaret Thatcher appointed Archbishop Carey to bring Britain in line with America's evangelical movement, the positivism of which was supposed to somehow link in with her radical free-market reforms.
Tony Blair appointed Rt. Rev. John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York:
He is probably a decent fellow, but I am no doubt that his appointment was politically motivated and engineered by Britain's neo-Marxists.
Unless Anglican clergymen adhere to 'partiinost', they do not receive promotion.
The Catholic Church in Britain, by contrast, is independent of the Government, so their message is often better on a number of issues, most recently that of 'gay adoption'.
The Presbyterian Church in Scotland and Northern Ireland is more independent still, and these are the sorts of ministries which Communists fear the most...
