BTW, the word Catholic or Universal was used because it was the only recognized Christian Church in Europe for centuries therefore it was the Universal Church. That was the case until 1054 when the Eastern Orthodox Church split and formed it's own Catholic Church separate from the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church is also called the Orthodox Catholic Church.
Any Protestant Christian churches were still centuries away from being formed.

Well this is so unfortunate, had we been in the same house, I would have looked at you in love and said,'' Ssshhhh,'' I would have turned Ray on and extended my hand.


Such a miracle takes place with a good song like this, just lay your head on my shoulder and let's dance and pretend you love me one more time, for the good times.


Just close your eyes and pretend we are at the bowlin alley.

There is no longer the mass armies of draftees trained just enough to follow their leader into battle. Now you have small teams of special forces who have counter arguments in a quick cut and paste format ready to fire.

My experience is different from the OP "Catholics are not Christian" bias. It comes from a place where Catholics out number non-Catholic Christians 9 to 1. So it is the Catholics who use the "Catholic versus Christian" terminology, since "Christian" is easier to say than "non-Catholic Christian". Especially in their case where about half of the non-Catholics are officially considered a cult, requiring a baptism upon joining the Catholic Church. Compared to most Protestants as in the older Catholic versus Protestant, with a side nod to the Orthodox, break down of the Christian world would not require a baptism upon joining the Catholic Church.

If you were a sibling, you would say that very carefully. If you were my dad, you would not be playing that song.

my dad understood his job. He understood that an important part of his job was to help me be the best me possible.

my pop told me, you know, at times when he was frustrated with me being a kid, "don't worry about god, worry about me.". in other words:

His claim, then my claim: "you are accountable for your actions."

good stuff right there.
WWII paratrooper style.
totally independant of belief or political affiliation.
that makes it more valid than blaming (good or bad) others or a god.

Only 1.2 billion that cannot understand simple bible milk--It clearly teaches---Call no man-FATHER( in a spiritual sense this is talking about)it means do not call a spiritual teacher--Father. Catholicism has only had 1750 years to read that simple milk---God is the holy Father--The pope is a sinner--not the Holy Father.

if one genuinely believes Jesus Christ is their savior, they are Christian. Christianity has nothing to do with book knowledge, going to church, helping little old ladies across the street, etc.
