The Catholic Church bought and sold West African slaves. Don’t forget it.

u are wrong... evil doers of that time used the gentility and the heartwarming messsages of the gospel to infiltrate people.... just like yahoo yahoo

ScamHunter:
➜You wont understand until your eyes are opened. That's why Jesus said 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see...' why/ Because he's blind. Pray to Him so you can see.

So, this organization, which also has a net worth of over $4 billion in earthly wealth, also has its eyes unopened, too, right?

And we should say the very same of all your Pentecostal pastors whose earthly business bank s are overflowing as well? Right?

Wait a second... even doers, including the Popes who all benefited from the slave trades, right?

Wealth doesn't matter if your heavenly is empty. The only currency recognized by heaven is Jesus. Any other thing is a waste of time and eternal everlasting regret

Wealth is valuable on earth while holiness is valuable in heaven.

Choose one

God1000:
From my own findings, estimates of global Catholic Church assets range from hundreds of billions to potentially over a trillion dollars if everything is included. However, much of this wealth is tied up in institutions that serve religious, educational, and charitable purposes.

There startup are actually the like every other single church on earth

Doesn’t just have wealth for wealth sake, it is the largest charitable and missionary organisation in the world, so all geared towards God's work ultimately.

I see your point, but start by explaining this your signature statement so the suits of Pentecostal pastors can be evaluated against that of the cassocks of the clergy of the church of Rome a.k.a Roman Catholic Church, RCC... which is a breakaway entity from the Universal Catholic or Orthodoxy hence you have Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Orthodoxy way long ago before the coming of the so called new generation or Pentecostal churches.

You mean like Mother Teresa was also a charitable and missionary mission?
Mother Teresa Was Kind of a Heartless Bitch

Breakaway or not, all of these organizations are run using pretty much the same models as those created by the Catholic church, do they not? Their doctrines are pulled from dogma formerly set up by the Catholic church, is that not so? Need I go on?

The Roman empire was not conquered or destroyed it became a church.

The British empire also was not conquered or destroyed it became a bank.

To know the wealth of the Catholic church, you have to ask the question of where all the wealth of the Roman empire domiciled. The value of just documentation in custody of the Catholic church runs into billions.

Why pick a controversy out of countless acts of charity and mission from the church. Bro, be thankful of the good.
Mother Teresa has been declared saint anyway, so overall she was good regardless of any controversy you might dig up.

Exact quote from a Joe Rogan interview!

You are mistaken, Catholic Church and Roman Catholic church are not the same thing. You need to take a cue and study the history of the early church and apostolic track. Most of the early apostles were killed in Rome or by Rome, they have nothing to do with the Roman Catholic church which was remodeling of the Roman part of the Pentarchy when they claimed first among equals.
Penta means five episcopal Sees, as they were five main church centers back then, including Jerusalem, Antioch(Antakya, Turkey), Constantinople(Istanbul, Türkiye) , Alexandria(Egypt) and Rome(Italy). This is why Vatican calls itself the Holy See.

So go and learn your history and thank me later...

Catholic church is the mother of all churches. All others are appendages. That's why they stand out bold!

I think the reason for different denominations is for the purpose of strengthening faith, but some are for evil practices.

If you don't honour the Catholic Church you're not a true Christian. You may not be a Catholic, but honour them. They gave birth to you.

There is no controversy in this at all. It's been confirmed that she was nothing like the Catholic propaganda machine had the world believe, even with 2 popes endorsing her before her death.

This was even highlighted in the Godfather III

2. Stop lying! The Apostles were not killed in Rome, and there is no evidence they were killed by Romans. Also, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that any of them lived beyond the year 70 AD in the land of Judea or the surrounding nations.

3. Your history seems to be off, given that all the sees came to unite under the banner of Rome.

Topic was always going to get derailed! Fyi - the term Roman Catholic was made up by Anglicans after the Reformation. the Church has always referred to itself simply as the Catholic Church which includes over 20 Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with Rome.

The real historical split was between East and West( the Great Schism) dividing the Latin Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Where is this other catholic church o?

The Catholic Church is the richest organization in the world. Disregard this figure in this thread.

You are totally mistaken and continue to use the term Catholic church interchangeably with the Roman Catholic Church. They are not the same when you consider the nitty gritty.
And no their are very divergent doctrines when move from West to Eastern Orthodoxy, Coptic or Ethopian churches. Most chruches around the Western worlds and most of African minus Egypt and Ethiopian/ Nile axis have very different doctrine. One major division is the nature of the sonship of Christ with the Holy Spirit called Filioque...

The Filioque Controversy (Holy Spirit)
Roman Catholicism: Teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son ("Filioque"....

Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian: Believe the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father, rejecting the Filioque addition.

Those other Orthodoxies are also not merchandising Christianity like the Western part do...so also less flamboyancy...

Most people here have never heard of the 1982 Banco Ambrosiano scandal involving Roberto Calvi and the Vatican Bank.
There is more to the money than meets the eye.

Unah don commot from conclave and inauguration, nah how much catholic church make unah dey look for now..

You should first try to read and comprehend my response to you before you move forward. The breakaway entities are the Pentecostals who broke from the Roman Catholic Church. I mentioned this in my original comment which you asked me of.

This thread is about the Roman Catholic church which considers itself the Holy see.

A woman symbolizes a Christian church in the Bible. Interestingly, the Bible in Revelation chapter 17 refers to Babylon the Great as the mother of harlots. Anyone with just a little knowledge of Bible prophecy would know that the character being described here is an an apostate, fallen church. And yes, the Catholic Church is the mother church of all churches who have deviated from the true teachings of Christ.

Shocking you said all the Sees are united under Rome...totally untrue and unfounded, unless of course you don't understand what and where the Sees stand.

Starting with James, the brother of Jesus, most of the apostles were killed by Roman empire including Peter and Paul who allegedly died at the hands of the Romans in Rome...

Maybe yours is alternate history. Let me helep you smalll...

Peter – Tradition holds that Peter was crucified upside down in Rome during Emperor Nero's persecution (circa 64-68 CE). The earliest reference comes from 1 Clement, a letter from the Roman Church(not Roman Catholic ooo, the true Roman church that Paul wrote to in Book of Romans in your Bible) dated around 90 CE.

Paul – Paul is believed to have been beheaded in Rome under Nero’s rule. Early Christian historian Eusebius (4th century) records this in his Ecclesiastical History
