  1.  @teddrickhargrave7338  we dont worship Mary. We see her as intercessor and a powerful influence of holiness. Mother of God means something. She did raise the Lord.

  2. You are right to be wary of missionaries and religions. If you arent, dont forget that creepy minister who a few decades ago entrapped and murdered disciples in South America--JIM JONES & JONESTOWN. He was a psychopath but even when not, I wouldnt go off to a place anywhere that ID HAVE to convert, and I AM CATHOLIC.

  3. What does that mean except you hear and listen to too much gossip. All religions have people who do things not right. Look at Gandhi and Mohammed? D ont know about Buddha but that doesnt mean gossip wasnt out there.

  4. Mother thought since they endured poverty so well, even seemed to relish it, they were holy people, the poor . Remember too the caste system! It was going quite as usual then. Indians except Gandhi, didnt complain. The Indians didnt stop it except for the Mahatma and maybe Nehru. British didnt invent the "Untouchables." A lot of people welcomed the British. They helped the economy of India. Not straightforward, history. Like people, a mixed lot.

  5. Not American propaganda. A lot of people still are her fans. She did help a lot of people. Im not sure she forced conversion. Poor people were grateful. Its like some people convert to a spouse's religion. I dont think you should do that because it usually isn't sincere. My dad did that but died a secular vet of cancer. I never heard a word about religion from him. He always said what was convenient. You never could believe him.

  6.  @3main  they thought the soul as more important than the person. It wasnt just for themselves. It was horribly masochistic. But it was and may still be a very extreme view of strict religious. I dont know. Wed give up dessert or whole meal's for lent but no hair shirts or like St Francis walking out on dad with just minimal rags. I think it started in imitating Christ. It just went too far.

  7.  @rilemv582  She was the head of an order of nuns. They are called Mother.

  8.    Catholicism IS for God. You arent a catholic. You have prconceived notions. Christ center of Church. We dont worship Mary and saints are holy dead people you ask to pray to God for you. Pope only infallible under very few circs. and noone forces priests into celibacy. Peter first pope. You may not want to be. Catholic but you only know what you hear. Doctrine is what counts. You are an anticatholic bigot. IT IS EXTREMELY TIRESOME. TALK ABOUT FAULTS OF CHURCHES. PROTESTANTS SEEM TO BE GREEDY AND PREY ON THEIR SICK MEMBERS FOR DOUGH. THE TV CHURCH GUYS NOT ONLY HAVE BIG BUDGETS BUT SALARIES BESIDES. HOW ABOUT JIMMY SWAGGART PAST. HE GOT CAUGHT WITH PROS. HERE HE IS AGAIN. SO YOU ARE FULL OF IT & KNOW NADA.

  9.  @TheFallenAdonael  also possible that politically influential people in an ideology like religion is might use religion to do evil for gain as in the Spanish Inquisition or as the Sadducees and Pharisees did in ancient Judea and Galilee giving Judaism a bad name, for examples.

  10.  @Jaylobow2079  she was Albanian not English. Apparently not.

  11. That isnt HER saying about our suffering and Jesus' suffering. We were told in Catholic Church that we should offer our suffering up with Our Lord's as making up for others' sins and our own to God It ISNT bad. It is very holy to do and is done voluntarily like fasting during lent. It is sacrifice and voluntary. You people hate it because it is Catholic and you dont understand it. It isnt fanatical either. Each person can only be as good as he is capable of being in his own way. It might be doing without things you want--possessions or parties, a film you give up for the evening or a meal--some pleasure. It might be fasting or doing kindnesses. So, what is wrong with that?! It is voluntary!

  12.  @wubbers662  but it wasnt so the nuns would go to heaven. Nuns thought all those people would go. You dont understand them. For you to attribute to them your antireligious thoughts. They were misguided, yes. That is not evil . they all practiced difficult sacrifices. It isnt right or good but born in practically Victorian era, they thought the more sacrifice and fasting for all, the better for them all. Moderation is key. But you know how Luther became a priest? His mom or dad probably dedicated him. Its how those old timers of middleages to late Victorian era people were.

  15.  @teddrickhargrave7338  I been to Baptist service. I thought Baptists cultish too. DIDNT go back. TO EACH HIS OWN. I didn't hate them. I just didn't care for it for me. So, whatever. Hopefully you wont come out bigotted. I know those people meant well.I went with a friend. It just wasnt for me.

  16.  @carolynedwards2689  I remember that day. You better remember Jackie was in shock and had just gone after her husband brain part that shot off back of his head or close and she didnt shoot him like a dumb frick said. Can you imagine? And maybe Lbj thought he'd be next, but someone better be POTUS. I always thought the Cubans probably had it done or Communists anyway. I dont think JBJ did it.

  17.  Impersonal Immigrant  mine as well. Noone should feel they have to convert even as gratitude.

  18.  Upskill 101  not the 21st century when she started and barely the 20th. Why put 21st century standards on people born over 100 years ago? Not only that but she IS dead and has been so for awhile and you cant be sure of your condemnation of her. There is more proof of her goodness from so many who were there. Perhaps your dislike is more prejudice than reasonable inquiry and fact?!

  19.  @itarry4  religion matters to me. It isnt the simplistic unimportant myths you deduce. And like you I dont need to prove it. In fact, Im grateful--grateful for the attitudes that showed me why I do believe as I do. So, thank you. Maybe it will help me,Ian in time. I dug out my Bible. I have a half dozen and Im no Karen or any of that. Even though I'm far from atheist or agnostic, I have a long way to go. I don't consider myself better than others. I feel luckier in a way, but it is a long hard path quite narrow and steep. So, I'm also not lucky as I wasn't raised by strong believers who were loving or consistent. Its not pain either nor myths. You believe what you wish--all of you. Good luck with that, whatever you are looking for or not, all of you.

  20.  @Deadsea_1993  There are good Catholics and good Hindus. Gandhi meant well. He like us all not 100% correct. Met hindus and muslims dont like. We all know none of us perfect. Be christian Catholic or protestant, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish or Muslin. Your choice. But make being good the real choice!

  23.  @arunroy9997  why is it Indian men only do what mom and dad say? Please do us all a favor and please do not ever marry out of your group and religion because mom and dad dont like it! Save the girl a divorce too!
    2
  24.  @prasunsingh7746  that is just silly. India is unique. It has ten tons smart minds. If you'd mostly get educated and build it up. But you keep emigrating instead of developing and revolutionizing. Are those castes gone? I hope so.

  25.  @pratiksyadav  I didnt know that . Videos on here are choppy about that. 5 min. Videos and yet several of them. I think Id rather read a book or they could have interviewed followers. Thankyou.

  33.  @steevealexanderson8559  if u read bible, u will see the choice has consequences which if true, one may not be happy to have. It isnt as cut and dried as all that. We arent talking about a crossword puzzle book.

  34.  acc2  Christ chose to be crucified to make up for our sins. He could have saved himself. He didnt. It is Redemption bcause adam and eve chose to disobey God and had to leave eden. Noone is forcing u to be a Christian or anything. But do us a favor and dont put us down when just observing, critiquing and listening to fellow bigots. We have, as you do, a right to our religious beliefs.

  35.    CAPITAL BS! Whereas YOU like several others on here are fhe light of God , never sin and know all. You are your own pope, so assumption is you have all the answers. Must be swimmingly w/o parallel! Allleluia! Aren't you amazing.

  36.  @bigpoppapump1794  GOD ALLOWS FREE WILL. HE WAS THERE, SHAKING HIS HEAD. MEN REPENT, BUT IT OFTEN DOES NOT LAST. WHEN HE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF US, WE WILL KNOW, IVE NO DOUBT. MAYBE CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BE THE BEGINN ING OF THAT NOW. THAT NOONE KNOWS, ONLY GOD.

  37.  @suryasolanki8  Having read Gandhi's entire biography, no where did it say that nor in the Attenborough film. Dont believe that he supported any killing.

  38. Same to you, Joe.

  39. There can be heresy without physically punishing people. And just think about what the Japanese did in WW2--dissecting downed airmen alive, eating one of their livers and displaying the dissections at a local University( per a Japanese scientist and Mark FELTON ). And it may have been a Samarai thing! Western influence.
    2
  40.  @bobthegoat7090  because that isnt how it is. Ths good thief repented of his bad behavior. He went straight to heaven with Jesus. He hadnt done much right his whole life. There are only 2 commandments: love God above all things. Love your neighbor as yourself.
    2
  41.  @nifralo2752  NOW BLAMING THE VATICAN. FACE IT. YOU NEED SOME BETTER ECONOMIC WISDOM AND ACTION OVER THERE. CHURCHILL PASSED AGES AGO AND THERE ARENT MILLIONS IN VATICAN STEALING ANYTHING. YOU SOUND LIKE NAZIS BLAMING MINORITIES FOR THEIR OWN INEPTITUDES.
    2
  42.  @Sinner6696  The BRITS ARE GONE. GIVE IT A REST OR ELSE DO YOUR OWN WORK. THINK OF THOSE STARVING NOW. NOT IN 1700s. Talk like that breeds tyranny. How about an honest effort now to get something done for the hungry, so you wont be hungry instead of blaming colonialism, gone for about 70+ years???? Get economy in better state NOW PEACEFULLY. IF YOU DONT YOULL LOSE MORE OF YOUR MOST BRILLIANT MINDS TO THE WEST. PLENTY HERE IN STATES & PROBABLY IN UK. You have the mind power to do it. Organize peacefully as the Mahatma did. Peaceful protest. Write letters to reps. Churchill is passed and in his grave whatever he did. You could also study ocean and desalianate ocean water for land like Israelis did and do. use solar panels for energy--electrical energy.

  43. Youd have to avoid more than France! Heretics out the woodwork! They'd say, "WITCHES" INSTEAD OF TIME TRAVELER
    2
  44. Examples! Examples. We can all do that. FATHER DAMIAN TRIED HELPING HAWAIANS. DIED OF LEPROSY IN MOLOKAI, HAWAI. DONT AS5UME WITH YOUR BLATANT ANTICATHOLICISM., that is wrong as well. You also assume about all who are Catholic. Because you arent, we are assumed complicit & that is BS.
    2
  45.  @zionvaipz9184  perfect example of what I said, then protestantism isnt either. Its about how much to pay the preacher, and my noncatholic son in law's cancer struck mom was bilked by a greedy preacher & his son, and she left the sobs an inheritance they didnt deserve. They knew she was sick and had chemo brain and kept coming around for money.

  46.  @joshuatheunkownuniverse.2475  not always lukewarm. Often fanatically sincere. Misguided not lukewarm, not tepid. Almost boiling over hot!
    2
  47.  @simbanagpal7588  so are you then. I pretended to be nothing. I dont pretend. As far as muslims, I take issue with the ones who hate Israel and Christians. But the hate part hasnt materialized, just a bit of questioning motives sometimes for certain actions. Im No Gandhi,and Im no Mohammed. You expect too much from the internet. And I see most of this as probably or possibly useless but time-filling chatter, and venting. Making a difference? Doubtful at best. Just remember: friends not made in a day, only acquaintances.
    2
  48.  @joshuatheunkownuniverse.2475  and why is that? You think whirling dervish lukewarm or radical anyone? Its not their good or bad , its their fervor and extreme actions in achieving their devotion to whatever ideology or religion. But u r free to see it however, but I disagree. I dont like radicalism or fanaticism. But it'll always be here to some degree.

  49.  @joshuatheunkownuniverse.2475  you really arent rhe brightest apple in the barrel. I never heard of a christian radical til you said that.

  53.  @Hahahasuiiiii  have to disagree. Soviet Russia of Stalin ATHIEIST and killed at drop of a hat---PURGES; KULAKS, "'We say who a Kulaks is.'"Every ideology can have corruption, but USSR and Communism was better than Nazis at murdering its own. Stalin DIDNT like people of any kind. He grew up meeting people who taught him only hate. Parents, revolutionaries, and revolutionaries as monks, contentious communists and Jews he met, like Lenin. They DIDNT trust him( neither would I)! He routinely made people prisoners and could not wait to start in on West, even though they helped him big time. He wanted conquest in West. ASAP after WWII. Stalin started being difficult. Iron Curtain. More planning purges. No one safe. Really as bad as AH and Nazis, if not worse. No longer enemy of enemy. They were dead. Not friend. His doing. Good he passed March 1953. Saved Jewish doctors and Khrushchev.

  55. Mother Teresa was misguided. She felt suffering was a must, so no electricity for hospital beds. Not good beds. All kinds of things that were NT right. I did live then. I believe she meant well but she really was a person raised during colonial times who really was misinformed about suffering. She had a blind spot but it was culturally religious upbringing. So many religious realky were not raised to empathize with those they cared for, esp. In the 19th & early 20th century Suffering as holy had an undue influence on Catholicism anong missionaries. It is spoken of in many books about Francis of Assissi and Mother Theresa. One never realized how they had somehow felt they had the right to pass it on to the poor and less powerful. People were admired for wearing hair shirts and for penances like fasting and flailing themselves. I feel it is very masochistic if taken beyond what we do ordinarily for sacrifice. I mean we fast but only moderately. I feel prayer and sacrifice are only good if they benefit mankind.

  78. Looks like youd be dead before that. Isnt it like 300 or 450 degrees in oil? Looks like 200 would do it unless like that American airman that went down in Japan in 1944 and they ate his liver and dissected 8 airmen alive, putting their remains on display at a local University til they surrendered. Noone knew til a Japanese scientist wrote it up and Mark Felton did too.

Leave Theology to someone who doesnt just pick up the first bible he sees, some one who's been to a college where the information is at least organized in a card file. There is the IDIOT series--Christianity for Idiots. Possibly an "easy" version of King James. I doubt you know who he was. Better get Religion 101.

  90.  @CarolusFlex  there are many problems that dont involve having plenty, like psychological and emotional ones as well as moral. Just because many adherents of those paths do not reflect the best religion has to offer isn't necessarily the religion's doing. It could be but not necessarily.

  92.  @CarolusFlex  you talk as though a good economy solves everything. You know that isn't true, not years ago. Not now. It may make things easier, but when bad things happen to good people, they need more than a great meal and a warm bed. Divorce, deaths, fallings out, health, career, relationship disappointments. You just aren't thinking beyond what's right before you. No offence!

  93.  @CarolusFlex  I CANT GO FOR THAT. NO CAN DO! You may see it that way--your prerogative, but not me. Not just pain. The Lord is a friend as are the saints and angels. But not just pain. A good priest is gold.

Fair you believe as you wish, but Christianity the way I understand and study it and have for 70 years isnt magical thinking. Going on the internet is an education but not the one young people or anyone needs. You need Fr. Mitch Pacwa of EWTN or another biblical scholar and many more books than one, particularly you because you are so into factfinding. He speaks 7 languages. Knows Aramaic, Latin, Greek and Im not sure of the rest. He is in Jerusalem each year. He is theological, philosophical and knows the answers to the questions you refute and also he gives good answers that arent magical and myth about God.

  127.  @hasslecaballes8951  this society always had taboo activities. Veried from place to place, but if you watch old films you see them. Often m/f or s/s relationships in hollywood, business, and also politics. Racial taboos. Blacks couldnt stay or even enter certain hotels. The little black actress in Gone With The Wind was only allowed in back of the Oscar hall in an LA hotel in 1939 and was a nominee; if that weren't bad enough. She played Scarlett's mammy. She was usually a maid but made the parts funny and interesting.

Im sure you and Luther had a lot in common. He didnt like Jews either. And how ignorant can anyone be to think a Roman emperor started the Church? Read a book. No, it was Jesus Christ, the one and only. You need to do some real research. Skip the Transforrners section, please!

  137.  @GRIGGINS1  Antisemitic???????! Nothing is further from the truth. Christ was Jewish. The Apostles were Jewish. HOW IN THE NAME OF G-D IS THAT ANTISEMITIC?! I'm proud of that fact. YOU ARE THE NEXT THING TO ODD. NO ROMAN EMPEROR NAMED THE CHURCH. It was called Roman Catholic because Peter went to Rome, evangelized Romans there and died upside down on a cross outside Rome. He is buried in the Vatican. Seems to me he who wishes to deny its Jewish roots is the antisemite. Christ was Jewish. Didn't you read the bible. The Church ended up Roman due to an Emperor, but that wasnt the sole reason. Vatican is the mother country of the Roman part, but without JEWS there would be no Catholic Church. Who is your catechist? SS Fegelein?!(hah!)

  138.  @GRIGGINS1  if you think I m antisemitic, you know nothing about the Catholic Church. I can't believe you dont know those basic facts. I know how the Church was founded. How can you deny all the founders, even St.Paul, were Jewish?! And I am Catholic. I consider your remarks all prejudiced. I dont care if you are an Atheist or just a secular. NO ROMAN EMPEROR MADE THE CHURCH ROMAN CATHOLIC. Centered in Rome due to an Emperor but not his naming it. Constantine had a lot to do with it and St. Helena as well as early Church fathers like St. Augustine. If you mix politics too thoroughly with religion, you have an entirely corrupted idea. I'm NOT ANTISEMITIC AND NOT FOND OF NAZIS EITHER.

  140.  @TROLLINGTROLLY-sc7cv  statues are not sinful. Worshiping them as God is the sin.. Catholics dont do that. We do intercession not worship. We ask for saints and angels to pray for us. They are like pictures. Because if you believe that & have a picture of someone you like, then you are an idol worshiper in your own mind? No?. The Amish dont take pictures. They believe that strongly.

  148.  @jordanwilliams2557  You can nonbelieve as you wish. There is plenty of proof that He was a real person as whether you consider them or not, Jews and Romans and Greeks discuss Him. He lived as surely as we do. Philosophers and emperors heard his name. Pilate crucified him. Paul saw him on the Road to Damascus. Believe your own stories. I'D rather not be a cynical atheist or agnostic, Thank you. Thank God we have freedom of religion yet. Even if we didnt, I'D believe. Do as you want. I'll do the same. To each his own.

  154.  @jordanwilliams2557  you obviously never lived or heard much of what went on in Atheistic Communist states. They had and have had purges in the millions of people who believed in God. Priests didnt say that about Muslims. Just read Quran. Spain had invasions and forced conversions from Saracens--Muslim--invaders. That is why there were several Crusades too. Wasnt made up. Naturally things werent good between Christians and Islam when Mohammed did forced conversions. He said so. I understand he mellowed in time. There are 20 sects. Not all like the first group. Some worse. Some better. I think the cultures changed things over time and different groups emerged not as warrior like.

  155.  @TROLLINGTROLLY-sc7cv  got it wrong. Our bibles before protestants, as were Greek Orthodox and Byzantine. That is how Luther ended up with fewer old testament books. There was an older bible. They may have printed bibles first, but bible was handwritten before the printing press by Catholic Monks and no doubt rabbis. I like Douay and the Jerusalem Bibles, both Catholic. I also like the Catholic Study bible. I have a KJ version. A relative gave me one. One could say not much good came out of Germany as well. So, enough of the anticatholicism. Luther didnt impress me as Rome doesnt you. But you have taken over 2 thousand to 5000 years and made a rather bigotted statement. Politics mixing with religion caused the reformation and Luther was a child when his mother made sure he was in seminary as people did in those days. He was obviously not meant to be a priest. But things happen for a reason. I believe God let it happen because of the secularized power politics that had infiltrated the Church all over Europe but particularly in Western Europe and England. But it was all over Europe in the end. So many monarchys were competing for power--Spain and France and England even Scotland. It isnt as simple as "NOTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF ROME"

  205.  @zionvaipz9184  MT is canonized which means a mass said on her saint day in our canon of masses. It does not mean every Catholic is a great fan of how she ran her missions. ID hate to think we did only what the apostles did 2000+ years ago(and without the miracles mostly now.) It would be worse than what any Christian mission could do, laying in straw under trees at first. 1890s to 1949s arent epitomy of hospital work or medicine. We only got antibiotics in 1920s to 1930s start. Even they dont solve it all. Give her a break. She saw suffering as beautiful. That doesnt mean she forced suffering or continued it sadistically, just misguidedly. There is a difference. She thought bed and board enough but that has changed since her death, I understand.

  219. Not spouse as much as neighbor because you would get looked at if it was something involving a member of your family. Read Shellenbargers THE CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE. It was made into a late 1940s film with Tyrone Power and ssveral other well known actors of the time. The bad guy is a wealthy noble landholder but not as wealthy as Tyrone's father. He gets the girl and by making false accusations and being nember of inqusition, the bad guy causes havoc in the Hero's life. Dont want to be spoiler. Watch it. It may be on Netflix or Hulu.

  221. Odd. She was part of media frenzy, at least superficially. Why and where would it be you'd need to bring her up, let alone be dismissed for it? I have holy cards but no occasion to discuss her much. She wasnt brought up at mass. Unless you were a rebellious little kid, I cannot see the reason to do that. Why would you? And unless you were in one of her facilities, I wonder where your neg. sources would come from to discuss her knowingly with enough to even be noticed let alone dismissed.

  222. Not lenient. Was actually worse because they had so many ways to exact info--the rack, that fork thing, isolation, threat of death. The Germans seemed to have turned it into a science however. Klaus Barbie and the skinning alive. Einsatzgruppen not exactly child's play.

Very stiff about it. It went on and we hardly realized it. We practically accepted things. We werent segregated, but there is so much more to it. And all WW2 did at home was make you poorer-- the rationing, the trying to keep family together. Not easy. My parents divorced because of it, but in 1951. Dad. was in army. He rejoined without telling mom even after war over. We were six people in a 4 room house. The war wasnt like in the films.
