“The Albigenses were Bible-believing Christians who lived in southern France, probably making up the majority of the inhabitants of that region by the 12th century. Both they and the Waldenses are most likely the descendents of the Bible-believing Paulicians. One writer (B.F. Wilkinson) describes the Albigenses as the ‘western portion of the Waldenses’.

The Albigenses and Waldenses (or, Vaudois) were separate from Papal Rome, and wanted no part of the corruption and false doctrines of that established church. Alarmed at the rapid growth of these Bible-believing Christians (the Albigenses and the Waldenses), the Papacy sent army after army to slaughter these innocent Bible-believing Christians, and to loot their property. The Albigenses were exterminated as a people in southern France by these ‘papal’ armies via the Albigensian Crusades.”
 
How is it that the self-professed "sole interpreters of Scripture" could have misunderstood such a plain text as this:

"Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment." - Matt. 5:21

In our day, we have learned that the Roman Catholic "church" has resorted to ) terror tactics to silence victims of priestly abuse.
In his article.
THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS DURESS AND FEAR ON A VICTIM'S ABILITY TO DISCLOSE THE ABUSE, Thomas Patrick Doyle, RC priest and Clergy Abuse Victim's Advocate writes:

“27. In my experience with victims lasting 18 years, I have met thousands of victims who have voiced their conviction that priests took the place of Jesus Christ and therefore they would be condemned to hell if they exposed a priest. “

JA,
I remember one time arguing online with a Muslim site. They, as most do, brought up the atrocities that the “christians” did during the crusades as reasons to hate them. I told him that the crusaders weren’t Christian at all but catholics. He was sort of dumfounded because to them since they used the name of Christ, then they were people of the book.

They play the "hate card" ad nauseum in an attempt to dissuade me from citing historical events regarding the atrocities papal Rome has committed over the centuries in Christ's name.

The bloody and ruthless terror campaigns launched against those who would not submit to the tyrannical rule of her popes is well-documented in the historical record.

1096 Massacres of Jews takes place in the First Crusade, destroying entire Jewish communities in Mainz, Speyer, Worms, Cologne and other cities. The Jewish chronicler reports: "The enemies stripped them naked and dragged them off, granting quarter to none, save those few who accepted baptism. The number of the slain was eight hundred in these two days."

In his book, Vicars of Christ - the Dark Side of the Papacy, he provides eight pages of bibliography listing authors, titles, and year published, along with a Chronology, List of Popes with dates, Councils of the church, and a very detailed bibliography (of documents and books) and index. His research is impeccable and he quotes liberally from Roman Catholic sources, which ultimately prove to be the most damning.

He writes with complete candor in exposing the anti-Semitic, murderous history and rampant corruption that has marked the papacy over the centuries. Throughout the book, he cites prominent and well-respected historians, both Catholic and non-Catholic alike.

Let each reader examine the evidence and judge for themselves if Mr.DeRosa is a credible and reliable source and the historical narrative he gives of the Papacy is accurate.

1) “In the year 1096 half of the Jews of Worms were slaughtered as the Crusaders passed through the town. . . . When the Crusaders took the great prize, Jerusalem, one of their first acts was to set the synagogue alight with all the Jews inside.”

“In spite of these cruel precedents, Innocent's Crusade against the Albigensians was in a class of its own. Under the banner of the cross, this was to be the bloodiest campaign of the Middle Ages. His soldiers virtually invented the scorched-earth policy. For the first time, they went in for indiscriminate slaughter.
And as each crime was reported back to him Innocent urged them on to more strenuous efforts in Christ's name. The end was sublime; it justified all means. It was so much easier to murder heretics than to convert the clergy to a blameless life.”

The TRUTH is . . all the popes of Rome are evil antichrists!

I don’t know if you have noticed, but there is no longer one single counter-current voice in the [Italian]mass-media which reports truthfully what is happening under the Bergoglian regime in the Church. We are under an oppressive Argentine dictatorship.

Those who disturb the Bergoglian Power would appear not to have any right to speak in the media. Even the most important Catholic intellectuals, who criticised Amoris laetitia severely (such as Spaemann, Grygiel and Seifert, close collaborators of John Paul II and Benedict XVI) have remained invisible in the [Italian] media. Their severe criticisms have been silenced. Even the explosive discourse of May 21st by Monsignor Gaenswein – Benedict XVI’s secretary and right-hand man – is virtually unobtainable in the media. Just like the critical voices of some theologians, bishops and cardinals.

Do you realize there are 1.2 billion RCs in the world and 60+ million here in the states. It is considered hateful/intolerant to say that RCs aren't saved in the public square and also by some on this forum.
There are many people on this forum who don't understand just how evil RC is and how much this evil has permeated our culture and our churches.
I appreciate JA sharing her knowledge with the rest of us. It appears you don't.
JA has given truth, so I would leave it up to her how often she does that.

“Bill Nye: The pope’s comments on evolution were ‘helpful'”

SARAH GRAY

salon.com

Bill Nye “The Science Guy” appeared on “CBS This Morning” to discuss his new book, “Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation.” Among other topics, Nye responded to Pope Francis’ recent comments that God does not have a “magic wand,” and that evolution and the Big Bang theory are true. Nye thinks the pope’s comments were “helpful.”

“To have [Catholics’] head guy say we’re going to join the mainstream of scientific thinking is good,” Nye stated.

(start quote)
Does anyone really care what Francis says anymore?

THE theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not "a magician with a magic wand", Pope Francis has declared.

Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the "pseudo theories" of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI.

Article: Francis: “I may go down in history as the one who split the Church”! / Source: Novus Ordo Watch – a Catholic website / December 23, 2016

Brandmuller: “It’s all or nothing”…
Francis: “I may go down in history as the one who split the Catholic Church”!

Just a few hours ago, the online edition of the secularist German periodical Der Spiegel published an interesting article on Francis’ explosive Christmas greetings to his curia yesterday and the general atmosphere in the Vatican. The article, penned by Walter Mayr, is entitled, “Der Papst kocht”, which translates as, “The Pope is fuming”, a reference to Edward Pentin’s recent revelation that Francis was “boiling with rage” at the public release of the dubia submitted by “Cardinals” Burke, Brandmüller, Caffarra, and Meisner in November.

This is my last response on these threads and this matter.
When I said engaging the trolls, I meant as sister JA does, pointing out the dangers of the RCC. Hope that clears it up.
These threads have become a battleground. We bite and devour one another - no, I am NOT leaving myself out of this group. It seems Satan delights in having us go after one another, but our Lord does not delight in it at all. Words are misconstrued, tempers flare and accusations fly. Rather than continue on in this pattern, it's best to leave - for the sake of Christ.
To the elect of God- may He continue to bless, refine and grow each of you. May blessings and mercy follow each all the days of our lives....

It's unfortunate Christopher that you took my comment personally.

My remarks in converse with ladybug in context:

“it is truly incredulous and shameful that some posting here reserve their outrage
for those who expose the homosexual clergy abuse predators within the RC priesthood,
but are indifferent to the suffering of the countless victims of their heinous crimes,
sacrificed on the altars of priestly abuse.
Utterly contemptible”

---------
I'm quite certain ladybug knew to whom I was referring, in my reference to
“some posting here”,
and it was to her I was speaking.

This bears repeating: In the Catholic “church”, according to their experts,
“80% of the abuse was of a homosexual nature”

YET Pope Francis said: “we owe the gays an apology.” ? ? ??

It is NOT widely known that those priests who have OUTED the homosexual culture of that exists within the RC priesthood have been ostracized.

When time permits, check these online articles/videos out . .

2) The Brotherhood of Silence web series recounts the bittersweet story of whistleblower priest Father Seamus MacCormack, who refused to remain silent about the sexual habits of a deceased Manchester priest, including allegations that the priest owned a large collection of homosexual and child pornography despite ongoing harassment by church officials.

Mike,
I truly am sorry you perceived my suggestion as possibly being mean-spirited. I assure you that was not my intention. You seem aggravated by the recent postings revealing the horrors of the RCC, so I thought it best you avoid it all. I honestly meant no malice and regret you may have seen it as such.
Now, for those interested, may I suggest Andrew Murray's book 'Humility', free online at [URL=http://www.seekersofchrist.org/MURRAY/Humility.pdf]]]http://www.seekersofchrist.org/MURRAY/Humility.pdf[/URL]

Utterly contemptible

Scottish Priest is Being Dismissed from Clerical State Because of Book Critical of Sodomites in the Catholic Church

"Father Matthew Despard, priest of the parish of St. John Ogilvie in Blantyre (Scotland) must leave his parish on instructions from the competent bishop. Despard was suspended in 2013 after publishing a book on the great influence of aberrosexuals in the Church of Scotland.

Joseph Toal, the bishop of the Motherwell diocese, has justified Despard's suspension by insisting that his book damaged the reputation of a whole range of persons, both laymen and clerics. Despard has challenged the suspension, albeit unsuccessfully. While his proceedings were ongoing, he remained in the parish. After all the possibilities of appeal had been exhausted, Bishop Toal has now instructed him to leave the parish.
