Hi everyone. I am curious to know, where were Christians with Protestant theology before Martin Luther, who did not venerate saints or believe in their intercession, who did not believe Mary sinless, and did not think the Eucharist was literally Jesus Christ present? I have combed through...

Btw, I think the "apology" issued by JPII was more an expression of sorrow or remorse for the misdeeds of the past, though no one victim or perpetrator was a live at the time. The year 2000 was of course the 2000th anniversery of Christianity, so it was almost like a special occasion for...

I think Protestants (and Catholics alike) are culpable merely from a passage in the book we claim to be wholly holy. "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live!" This Old testament injuncture was the justification for all those poor people being killed. Why would God issue such a cruel...

He apologized for the misdeeds of Catholics in the past that were so contrary to Christ and the Churche's message. Though the Church is perfect, it is made up of and led by very real, very human, very fallible members who are prone to hatreds, selfishness, bigotry and other terrible things...

Fellow Christians, I am sure you are all well aware of the controversy of teaching Darwins theory of evilution in schools. It is controversial, since it clearly denies biblical truths. My question is why is there not similar anger at Galileo's theory of Heliocentrism taught in schools? It is...

Tell me Protestants, why do many churches regard eucharist as "just a symbol" or with "some presence of god" or many do not have eucharist at all, and dont see importance of it. I would imagine Rick Warren and Joyce Meyers are among those types. If it is true that Eucharist is only a symbol...

But brother Mike we are on the subject of Witch trials. While admittedly Catholcis dont have entirely clean hands in the ordeal, most of the witches of the time were executed in Germany and Scotland during the height of the Protestant Reformation. The Salem Witch trials certainly were not the...

In recent years, many Christian Churches have made apologies to those we have victimized in the past. Just 13 years ago, Pope John Paul II apologized for the Crusades, Catholic misogyny, Persecution of Galileo, and general mistreatment of native americans. But neither he, nor any notable...

Hey all. I was just wondering. The bible teaches we must accept Jesus as our lord and savior to get into heaven right? But many native americans did not do that before Chris Columbus came. Even after the United states has done so much to "help" the indians some seem so blind and stubborn in...

Hey all. The name is Paul here. Just chose the name to be facetious. I realize most people here are not Catholics, but I would appreciate a pan Christian dialogue. Ultimately we all believe that Jesus is the one true son of God who died for all our sins.
