Comments on: Roman Catholicism Versus The Bible. As Always, Bible Wins! (*Updated*) http://www.independentconservative.com/2007/12/23/roman_cat_vs_bible/ The Independent Conservative saying what needs to be said! Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:35:55 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: art123 http://www.independentconservative.com/2007/12/23/roman_cat_vs_bible/comment-page-1/#comment-7842 art123 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 23:50:14 +0000 http://www.independentconservative.com/2007/12/23/roman_cat_vs_bible/#comment-7842 I agree that Roman Catholics are one of the most difficult people to deal with.  I once invited a former roommate, a Catholic and her boyfriend to my church and she wasn't having it. I visited only two Catholic churces in my lifetime. A Black Catholic church in my neighborhood that a friend once invited me to.  It had a little Baptist feel to it and another on at the St Patricks Cathedral in NY when Cardinal O'Connor was alive and he invited people of all faiths to come to either Easter Sunday mass or Palm Sunday mass.  I hated the idea of constantly bending down so they can say their Hail Marys.

False Anti-Christ leader,false Anti Christ system, False Christ, False worship of idols, false worship of a woman used of God who was just a sinner like the rest of us. Babylon Lives.
