Many unfounded charges have been made against the
Catholic Church. Every time I ask for proof of these charges, I am met with
silence... or an insult. Here are some examples of charges made, with never
backup documents to prove what they say:
The Church which Jesus Christ founded, apostatized at
the time of Constantine or sometime thereafter. Therefore the Catholic Church
cannot be that Church. I would be very interested to see proof of this charge
so, Show me your
documents!
The Council of Trent added
the seven Deuterocanonical books to the Bible, Wisdom, Baruch, Sirach, Tobit,
Judith, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. Read this first and then read the
minutes of the Council of Trent and then, Show me your documented proof.
Blessed Mary had other children... Read this, and then show me where
Scripture backs up what you charge. Show me your documents after you read the Mary files on this
website.
Blessed Mary is not the Mother of
GOD... Read this and
then, Show me where Scripture
says that.
Catholics worship Blessed Mary... If you believe this
charge, then the Catholic Church has to tell us to worship Blessed Mary. If the
Catholic Church tells us to worship her, then it must be written in a genuine
Catholic document somewhere. Show me that document. Read the Blessed Mary files
on this website and then, Show me
your proof.
The Catholic Church forbade reading of the Bible in the
past... Show me genuine historical documents which prove the Catholic Church
forbade the reading of ALL Bibles which were not heretical. Show me your documented proof.
St. Peter was never in Rome... I debated a top
protestant on this question and I sent him reams of authentic historical
documents attesting that Peter was indeed in Rome, and in fact he died there. When I asked for
proof of his charges, I was met with silence. Show me your documentation attesting to what you
have charged here.
St. Peter was never given primacy or authority in the Bible.
After reading this,
Show me your
documentation.
There is no such thing as Apostolic Succession... I can show Apostolic Succession in Holy
Scripture. You show me where it says it does not exist. Show me your proof.
The Holy Eucharist is not the body of Jesus Christ. It
is only a symbol... Show me where it says this in Holy Scripture. Start with Matthew
26:26-28
Sola Scriptura is scriptural, keeping traditions is not.
Read 'For Whom The Bell
Tolls', elsewhere on this website and then, Show me where Sola Scriptura is defined in the
Bible.
Individual interpretation of Holy Scripture is
acceptable... Show me where it says
this in Scripture. My Bible says just the opposite in 2Peter 1:19-21.
If you do not have documented proof of these
charges, then you are perpetrating slander and lies. Read Rev 21:27. In a court
of law, you shout, 'Guilty as Charged'. However without proof to back up your
charges, your case is thrown out.
