not through any idols

God never wanted us to think a leftist is the word of gid

The papal theory made the Pope alone God’s representative on earth and maintained that the Emperor received his right to rule from St. Peter’s successor. For historical proof of the genuineness of this position attention was called to the power of the keys, the Donation of Constantine, the coronation of Pepin, the restoration of the Empire in the West. … It was upheld by Nicholas I., Hildebrand, Alexander III., Innocent III., and culminated with Boniface VIII. at the jubilee of 1300 when, seated on the throne of Constantine, girded with the imperial sword, wearing a crown, and waving a sceptre, he shouted to the throng of loyal pilgrims: “I am Caesar—I am Emperor.”

Jesus wanted no earthly power

We don't worship Him through the saints or Angels. We simply ask them to pray for us, so that we can live according to God's will. Now, our Lady the case is different. God will confer graces through our Lady, such as when she bore our Lord in her womb.

Wtf

"Catholics worship idols"

"Idolatry literally means the worship of an "idol", also known as a cult image, in the form of a physical image, such as a statue or icon. In Abrahamic religions, namely Christianity, Islam and Judaism, idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than God as if it were God. "

if you worship god through a cross, or through a statue or image of "god" you are commiting idoltry as you are worshiping something other then god as if it was god

@Deleted User Yep

They're retarded

How

I'm not going to bother arguing with fools using half ass arguments, false sources and those who don't know their terminology

dude, the catholic church literally admits to allowing idoltry

or some forms of it anyway

@Deleted User everyone knows 80% of christian practices are ripped off of pagan ones

These are the most legalistic arguments I've ever seen

jesus wasnt even born on christmas, they just say he was to convert the pagans who worshiped the winter solstace

Christmas is a pagan holiday yes

Saint Nicholas, or Santa, is also a pagan myth

Catholics worship a monarch

Wodin would ride on a sleigh pulled by wolves on the Wyld Hunt on the winter solstace to fight the frost giants, he usually is found wearing a red coat

this is literally the origin of santa

aka Saint Nicholas

Halloween, aka All Hollows Eve, is ALSO ripped off of Samhain

to intice the pagans in Britannia to convert

Why should I worship god through "saints"

Constantine, from 312 A.D. until his death in 337, was engaged in the process of simultaneously building pagan temples and Christian churches, and was slowly turning over the reins of his pagan priesthood to the Bishop of Rome. However, the family of Constantine did not give up the last vestige of his priesthood until after the disintegration of the Roman Empire – that being the title the emperors bore as heads of the pagan priesthood – Pontifex Maximus – a title which the popes would inherit. The popes also inherited Constantine's titles as the self-appointed civil head of the church – Summus Pontifex (Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Bishops).

All I care about now is that most churches are dumb

also, on that note, before the day ends

@Deleted User @㊀㊁㊂㊃㊄㊅㊆㊇㊈㊉ You guys keep fucking throwing so much shit instead of staying on one topic, but one thing I must say. You're actually retarded to believe the lie concocted by the Puritans in the 17th century, considering that the pagan festival of Saturnalia ended on December 23rd, so the pagans didn't even celebrate anything on December 25th. Anyhow, I'm done with this autism.
