Quote: 'Scripture shows that the early Church taught that the Kingdom of God would be established on this earth at Jesus Christ’s return. Yet the Roman church has taught that
it is the Kingdom, and has rejected as heresy the true biblical teaching that Christ would literally return to rule on the earth. The Roman church teaches that Mary, Jesus’ mother, remained a perpetual virgin, yet Scripture clearly shows that she had other children after Jesus (
Mark 3:31–32;
Luke 8:19–21). Even though Peter and other apostles were married (
Mark 1:30;
1 Corinthians 9:5), the Roman church has established a “discipline” of priestly celibacy, despite Scripture’s plain instruction that the forbidding of marriage is a Satan-inspired idea (
1 Timothy 4:1–3). It is also interesting to note that in contrast to the long-standing Roman Catholic custom of kneeling to kiss the ring of a bishop or pope, the Apostle Peter
refused such homage (
Acts 10:25–26). These are just a few of many examples of how the Roman church has
departed from apostolic teaching!'
Many are asking, "Is the new Pope really the successor of the Apostle Peter?" Will he be the last? What do history and Scripture tell us?

Interesting read for Real Christians but I doubt many TalkJesus's will understand it.
Why do you continually attack your brothers & sisters in Christ?
It is clear that the material evidence you've given is true; that the Catholic 'institution' is filled with anti-Christ (opposing) doctrines, but what does that have to do with you attacking everybody on this forum?
This is a place where believers, followers, baby Christians, seasoned Christians, and everybody who loves God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and God the Son Jesus The Christ, can gather together, essentially, in assembly, and come together to fulfill the prayer of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Not one of us has perfect understanding. I struggle with this truth every day. I try the best that I can do as a man of Faith and a lover of Jesus to do His Will. My head knowledge may not be perfect, but I make sure that I keep the posture of my heart straight before The Lord. Most of us are doing this, and if we are not, then we need help! Daily! We need one another, and the fellowship, the gathering of the Saints, daily.
I suppose that the reason you are here today is so that your eyes can be opened. So that your heart can be softened. You're attacking your own brothers and sisters in Christ. You are working against the faith. Even with a real Christian infront of us, we must have faith; even with a false Christian infront of us, we must have love.
Look at the prayer of our Lord and Savior Jesus:
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
