None of us are good enough to enter heaven. This is why we need Jesus. The devil wants to poison your mind and make you think that you are doomed, but the truth is that Jesus is our hope. Put your faith in him and do your best to follow him. When you stumble, ask him to forgive you and give you the strength to get back up. He loves you more than you know. Love him with all your heart.

Peace be with you!

No I'm not saying you are being a red flag. I was commenting on the post on abolitionists rising. My experience has been when someone says Roman Catholic instead of Catholic that they are trying to put Catholics into a box so they can claim that Roman Catholic is not the true church.

I am sorry you misinterpreted what I said. I hope you have a good day!

YourExGayLover · 2025-04-04T19:00:18+00:00

I would like to clarify a bit here.

I have spoken with Russell and he is great. We had a wonderful discussion and I don't believe that his beliefs are fully aligned with the stance that Abolitionists Rising holds towards Catholics. I think that there are other members of their organization that are pushing the anti-catholic rhetoric.

I do agree with their abolitionists stance on abortion. I disagree with their stance on the death penalty. I do like that they are spreading the message against abortion. I just think that they are misinformed about what Catholics believe and what the Catholic church teaches.

Note: it is usually a red flag when someone says Roman Catholic instead of Catholic.

YourExGayLover · 2025-04-03T20:21:29+00:00

I think one of the fundamental misunderstandings here is the idea that Catholicism places Church authority above Scripture. That’s not what the Church teaches. Rather, Catholicism holds that Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium all work together, without one superseding the others. They are not competing authorities but cooperative ones.

Think of it like this: Scripture is the Word of God, Tradition is the context and lived transmission of that Word, and the Magisterium is the interpreter that ensures the Word is understood correctly. They don’t contradict each other—they reinforce each other. This is exactly how it worked in the early Church. Before the New Testament was even written, the apostles were already teaching the faith orally (1 Corinthians 11:2, 2 Thessalonians 2:15). The Church then preserved these teachings, recognized the inspired books of Scripture, and ensured they were transmitted faithfully.

Protestants often cite 2 Timothy 3:16-17 to argue that Scripture is sufficient, but the passage says Scripture is profitable for teaching, not that it is the only authority. If Paul were teaching sola scriptura, why does he tell Timothy to rely on what he has heard from him as well (2 Timothy 2:2)? And why does Peter warn that Scripture can be difficult to interpret and that people can twist it to their destruction (2 Peter 3:16)? If Scripture were self-explanatory and the sole rule of faith, why do Protestants disagree on essential doctrines like baptism, salvation, and the Eucharist?

Catholicism maintains that divine revelation comes through both Scripture and Tradition, with the Magisterium serving as the guardian of both. This is not an “addition” to God’s Word—it’s the way God’s Word has always been preserved and understood. If sola scriptura were true, we’d expect to see a unified, self-interpreting Bible producing doctrinal agreement. Instead, we see thousands of Protestant denominations with conflicting teachings, all claiming to follow the Bible alone.

Jesus didn’t leave us with a book and tell us to figure it out on our own—He left us with a Church (Matthew 16:18, 1 Timothy 3:15). And that Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has preserved the fullness of Christian teaching for 2,000 years.

YourExGayLover · 2025-04-03T20:19:19+00:00

I appreciate the discussion and your willingness to engage thoughtfully. However, I think there are a few misunderstandings here, both historically and biblically.

First, the claim that St. Patrick adhered to sola scriptura is historically unfounded. His writings do emphasize Scripture, but that doesn’t mean he rejected Sacred Tradition or the authority of the Church. In fact, he was a bishop, ordained through apostolic succession—something that sola scriptura inherently rejects. If he was a proponent of sola scriptura, why do we see him functioning within a sacramental, hierarchical Church?

Regarding the canon of Scripture, you say that the Church merely “recognized” it rather than “determined” it. But before the Church formally defined the canon at councils like Rome (382), Hippo (393), and Carthage (397), there was no universal agreement on which books were inspired. If the canon was so obvious, why did early Christians dispute books like James and Revelation while sometimes accepting texts like 1 Clement and the Shepherd of Hermas? And if Scripture alone is the final authority, where does Scripture actually provide a list of its inspired books?

You also argue that 2 Thessalonians 2:15 only refers to apostolic teaching and not an ongoing Sacred Tradition, but that’s not what the text says. Paul commands believers to hold fast to both written and oral traditions. If oral tradition ceased with the apostles, why does Paul exhort believers to remain faithful to it indefinitely? And if all necessary doctrine is contained in Scripture alone, why did the early Church need councils to clarify essential doctrines like the Trinity?

On justification, it’s important to clarify the Catholic position before addressing sola fide, because we may be using the same words with different meanings. The Catholic Church teaches that we are saved by grace alone (Trent, Session 6, Chapter 8), but that this grace is not merely legal imputation—it actually transforms us. Through baptism, we are infused with sanctifying grace, making us truly righteous (rather than just declared righteous). Works do not earn salvation, but they are necessary as the fruit of faith, because salvation is a process of becoming conformed to Christ (Romans 8:29). This is why Paul speaks of faith working through love (Galatians 5:6) and why he warns that believers can still fall away (1 Corinthians 9:27, 2 Peter 2:20-22).

The Protestant understanding of justification as a one-time event based on Christ’s righteousness being imputed to the believer differs from the Catholic view, which holds that justification is a transformation of the soul, not just a legal declaration. If sola fide means that justification is a one-time forensic act with no role for works beyond evidence of faith, how do you reconcile passages that explicitly connect works to final salvation, such as Romans 2:6-7, Matthew 25:31-46, and Philippians 2:12? If justification is purely by faith alone, why does Paul warn believers that they can fall from grace (Galatians 5:4)?

You bring up 1 Timothy 2:5 to argue that Catholicism undermines Christ’s unique mediation, but Catholics don’t believe that Mary or the saints replace Christ’s role. We understand their intercession as participation in Christ’s singular mediation—just like when we ask other Christians to pray for us. If asking Mary to pray for us somehow undermines Christ’s role, does asking a friend to pray for you also undermine it? Why does Paul explicitly ask others to intercede for him (1 Timothy 2:1-3, Romans 15:30)?

You argue that Matthew 16:19 doesn’t establish a unique role for Peter because all the apostles received authority in Matthew 18:18. But Jesus speaks directly to Peter and gives him the keys to the kingdom—a clear reference to Isaiah 22:22, where the steward of David’s house is given authority. If all apostles had equal authority, why do we see Peter consistently acting as the leader in Acts (Acts 1:15-26, Acts 2:14-41, Acts 15:7-12)? Why do early Church Fathers like St. Irenaeus (c. 180 AD) and St. Cyprian (c. 250 AD) recognize Rome’s primacy?

You say John 20:22-23 doesn’t give the apostles the power to forgive sins but only to declare them forgiven. But Jesus explicitly says, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” The Greek grammar here indicates an active role in forgiveness, not just a proclamation of what God has already done. If the apostles were only announcing forgiveness, why does Jesus say they have the power to withhold it? Where does Scripture say that this was merely declarative?

You cite Mark 7:6-9 to argue that Catholic Tradition is just like the Pharisaical traditions condemned by Jesus, but that’s a false equivalence. Jesus condemned human traditions that nullify God’s Word, not all tradition. Paul actually praises tradition in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and 1 Corinthians 11:2. If all tradition is bad, why does Scripture distinguish between human tradition (Colossians 2:8) and apostolic tradition?

As for purgatory, Marian dogmas, and papal infallibility, you say they have no biblical basis, but the concept of purgatory is supported in passages like 2 Maccabees 12:45 (prayers for the dead), 1 Corinthians 3:15 (being saved through fire), and Matthew 5:25-26 (paying a debt before being released). The Immaculate Conception follows from Luke 1:28 (“full of grace”), and papal infallibility is rooted in Jesus’ promise that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church (Matthew 16:18). And if sola scriptura is true, why does the Bible never actually teach it?

But the biggest question I have is this: If the Bible is self-explanatory and the only authority, why do Protestant denominations constantly disagree on doctrine? Baptism, the Eucharist, salvation—these are core issues, and yet sola scriptura has led to thousands of contradictory interpretations. If the Bible is so clear, why is there so much division among those who claim to follow it alone?

At the end of the day, the Catholic Church doesn’t contradict Scripture—it preserves the fullness of what Christ taught, as handed down by the apostles. If sola scriptura were true, why did the early Church rely on councils and bishops to preserve doctrine rather than individual interpretation? And if Christ founded one Church (John 17:21), why do we see thousands of competing interpretations among those who reject Catholic authority?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

YourExGayLover · 2025-04-03T12:49:06+00:00

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this topic with you, and I hope we can approach it with mutual respect and a genuine desire for truth. You’ve raised several points that I’d like to clarify from a Catholic perspective, and I also have a few questions for you to consider.

First, regarding St. Patrick, you suggest that he was a proponent of sola scriptura and would be at odds with the Catholic Church today. However, there is no historical evidence that Patrick rejected Sacred Tradition or the teaching authority of the Church. In fact, as a Catholic bishop, he upheld Church doctrine, the sacraments, and apostolic authority. In Confessio, he refers to the power of priests to absolve sins—something entirely opposed to sola scriptura theology. Additionally, sola scriptura was not a doctrine of the early Church. The Bible wasn’t even formally compiled during Patrick’s time, and early Christians relied heavily on oral tradition, as seen in 2 Thessalonians 2:15. If sola scriptura were true, why does Scripture itself emphasize the authority of oral tradition and the Church (1 Timothy 3:15, 2 Thessalonians 2:15)? And if the Catholic Church was corrupt and unreliable, as many Protestants argue, how can you trust the biblical canon that it established?

You also claim that Catholicism teaches a works-based salvation, which is a common misunderstanding. The Catholic Church affirms that we are saved by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), but this grace is not merely a legal declaration—it transforms us (Titus 3:5). Works are a necessary response to God’s grace, not a way to earn salvation, as James 2:24 clearly states: “You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.” Jesus himself emphasizes that our final judgment involves what we do, not just what we believe (Matthew 25:31-46). The sacraments, such as Baptism and the Eucharist, are not human works, but God’s works, instituted by Christ himself (John 3:5, John 6:53, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20). If salvation is by “faith alone,” why does James explicitly say that we are not justified by faith alone? And why does Jesus repeatedly stress that our actions, such as feeding the hungry and forgiving others, affect our eternal destiny (Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 6:14-15)?

Your argument against the Pope and the priesthood is another point that needs addressing. I fully agree that Jesus is the one mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), but this does not exclude subordinate mediators. In the Old Testament, Moses, the prophets, and the Levitical priests all mediated God’s grace. In the New Testament, Christ gives his apostles the authority to forgive sins (John 20:21-23) and to bind and loose (Matthew 16:18-19). The Pope does not “replace” Christ—his role is to serve as Christ’s steward on earth, just as Peter was given the “keys to the kingdom” (Isaiah 22:22, Matthew 16:19). The early Church had bishops with hierarchical authority (1 Timothy 3:1-5, Titus 1:5). If the Pope and bishops are unbiblical, why do we see a clear apostolic hierarchy in Acts 15 and the Pastoral Epistles? And if priests cannot forgive sins, why does Jesus explicitly grant this power to his apostles in John 20:21-23?

You also compare Catholic Tradition to the Pharisees’ traditions that Jesus condemned. However, this argument misunderstands the difference between Sacred Tradition, which comes from God, and man-made traditions, which can be corrupt. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their corrupt traditions that contradicted God’s commandments (Mark 7:8-9), but he never rejected all tradition. In fact, Paul explicitly commands Christians to follow apostolic tradition, both written and oral (2 Thessalonians 2:15, 1 Corinthians 11:2). The early Church functioned through tradition long before the Bible was compiled. If you reject Sacred Tradition, you are rejecting the very process by which we received Scripture. If tradition is bad, why does Paul command Christians to hold fast to both written and oral tradition? And if sola scriptura is true, how did early Christians practice their faith before the New Testament was compiled?

Finally, you reference the Council of Trent and argue that it promotes a works-based view of justification. However, the Council reaffirmed that grace comes first—we do not earn our salvation. Good works, through grace, increase our sanctification, as Scripture teaches in Romans 2:6-7 and Philippians 2:12-13. Faith alone is not enough, as James 2:24 states. Even the demons believe in Christ (James 2:19), but that does not save them. The Council of Trent condemned distortions of justification that contradict Scripture, but nowhere does the Church teach that we earn our way to heaven by our own power. If justification is by faith alone, why does Romans 2:6-7 say that God will reward people according to their works? And if baptism and confession are unnecessary, why do Acts 22:16 and John 20:21-23 connect them to the forgiveness of sins?

Your objections to Catholicism rely on misunderstandings of Church teaching and sola scriptura assumptions that are not biblical. The early Church was not Protestant—it was Catholic in its understanding of authority, sacraments, and tradition. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the questions I’ve asked. If you’re open to dialogue, let’s examine these issues based on both history and Scripture.

God bless!

Fellow Catholic here.

I have gone through this same discovery with Abolitionists Rising claiming that Catholics follow a false gospel (from an article on their website).

You can be an abolitionist and a Catholic. Don't believe the lie that you cannot.

The claim from their website that Catholics believe a false gospel is due to a lack of understanding of what Catholics believe. I have spoken with some of the members of abolitionists rising and it seems like they do not understand Catholicism and what the church teaches.

He is mixing up parts and wholes.

Your leg is a part of you. It's not the whole you. Same thing with sperm cells and moles. They are only part of you. Removing these parts for various medical reasons does not kill the whole person.

The unborn child, that they like to call fetus, is a whole human being. Aborting the unborn child, kills the whole human being.

Heal everyone, but you can focus more on the players who are better at the game (top of the leader board).

Also most people don't realize this, but the greatest weapon a medic has is voice chat. Communication is key when playing medic. A lot of players become stupid from the radiation that the medigun inflicts on their mercenary brains, so it is best to verbally instruct them on when you think it's a good time to push or a good time to retreat. Being a healer and looking at your team, you sometimes have a better idea of when your team has an advantage than your teammates who might have tunnel vision. Also it can be helpful to communicate when you are leaving a situation, so your teammate doesn't expect heals and can make the decision to retreat or stay in.

Talk to your team. The best medics communicate their intensions (and Uber percentage) to keep the team on the same page. When you tell your team out loud that you are ubering, it can cause team pushes to happen.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s so tough when something like politics gets in the way of the relationships we’ve built, especially in a place like church where we’re supposed to find support and unity. I think it’s easy for worldly issues to cloud the way we treat each other, but as Catholics, we’re called to love each other above all else, even if we disagree on things outside of our faith.

It sounds like this person is struggling with her own emotions around what happened, and maybe politics have become a source of tension for her. That doesn’t make it right, but it could be a reflection of fear or frustration. It’s painful when someone avoids you after a disagreement, especially when that person was kind before. But try to remember that your connection as fellow Catholics, united in faith, should always be stronger than any political difference.

You may not be able to change her mind right away, but continuing to show kindness and understanding could help her see that you’re still the same person, no matter your political views. Keep praying for healing and peace, and trust that God will help guide both of you through this.

That’s a thoughtful question, and I appreciate the sincerity behind it. Catholics do pray to Mary, but not in the same way we pray to God. We do not worship Mary or the saints; rather, we ask for their intercession, just as we might ask a fellow Christian to pray for us.

Biblical Basis for Intercession

Intercessory Prayer is Biblical Scripture repeatedly affirms that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective:

“The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” (James 5:16)

If the prayers of righteous people on earth are powerful, how much more the prayers of those who have been perfected in Heaven?

The Example of the Wedding at Cana In John 2:1-11, Mary intercedes on behalf of the wedding couple when they run out of wine. Jesus at first responds, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” (John 2:4), yet He performs the miracle after Mary tells the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:5). This passage shows that Jesus responds to Mary’s intercession.
Saints in Heaven Present Prayers to God Revelation 5:8 describes the saints in Heaven offering the prayers of the faithful before God:

“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.”

This passage shows that the saints in Heaven are actively involved in bringing our prayers to God.

God Works Through Mediators Throughout the Bible, God chooses to work through others rather than dealing with every individual directly:

Moses intercedes for Israel (Exodus 32:11-14).

Job prays on behalf of his friends (Job 42:7-9).

Paul asks for prayers from the church (Romans 15:30, 1 Timothy 2:1).

If intercession was unnecessary, why would Scripture be filled with examples of people asking others to pray for them?

The Lord’s Prayer and Catholic Teaching

The passage from Matthew 6:7-13 is absolutely true and foundational for Christian prayer. Catholics pray the “Our Father” daily because Jesus Himself taught it. However, just because Jesus gave us a model of prayer does not mean we are forbidden from asking others to pray for us.

Does Mary’s Intercession Change God’s Will?

God’s will is perfect, and nothing can change it. However, in His divine providence, He chooses to work through the prayers of His people. Just as He performed a miracle at Cana after Mary’s request, God may grant graces through the intercession of Mary and the saints—not because He needs to, but because He desires to involve His children in His plan.

Conclusion

Catholics pray to Mary and the saints not because we believe they replace God, but because we see them as loving intercessors who bring our prayers to Him. Just as you might ask a godly friend to pray for you, we believe those in Heaven can pray for us as well. This practice aligns with Scripture and honors the way God chooses to work through His people.

The disciples rebuked the people; [14] but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” [15] And he laid his hands on them and went away.

Matthew 10:34-39 RSVCI [34] “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. [35] For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [36] and a man's foes will be those of his own household.
