1 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 25677 | ||
First let me say I am not attempting to defend the Catholic Church in any fashion, shape or form. My question. Since the Catholic Church grew out of the first century church and later was felt to be in need of reformation, what and when do you feel was the first error that entered the church? Was that error ever dealt with at a later time and what was the result? Second question Without going through all of Luther's points what was the biggest problem and when did it manifest itself within the church? |

I read where the RCC didn't actually come into being till Constantine converted around 300AD. I posted an article on The Bones of Peter earlier that was showing how Peter never even made it to Rome anyway. Saw a handout today that said infant baptist was decreed in 431, 500 was when mass was instituted and 1000 was when it became mortal sin not to attend. 1231 was inquisition. I don't have handout in front of me so dates may be a few yrs off but close. :) I know-DUCK!!! I'm fixin to get clobbered!!! |

Norrie Good answer. From your answer I take it you believe infant baptism, mass, making it a mortal sin not attend church and inquisition were the major problems. I think we all can agree the inquisition was a problem and wrong, but would you share more on your feelings about the other three. Infant baptism while we might not agree with it how did it's introduction effect the general chruch? What do you see was the problem with Mass? And lastly the sin of not attending church? Was it the declaration? Or the making it a mortal sin? I know many Pastors would love to have that in effect in their churches today :-) Thanks for you input, I would love to know your thoughts on the above points. EdB |

I just got a handout the other day. Here's what it said: TRADITIONS AND THE YEAR THEY WERE DECREED AD431 Proclamation that infant baptism regenerates the soul. (Baptismal regeneration) AD500 The Mass instituted as a reenactment of the sacrifice of Jesus. (Jesus dies at every mass) AD1000 Attendance at Mass made mandatory under the penalty of mortal sin. AD1215 Transubstantiation, proclaimed by Pope Innocence III and confession of sins to priests, instituted by Pope Innocence III. The bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ. Both Elements are worshipped. AD1229 Bible reading forbidden by RCC AD1231 Inquisition begins. ********* I remember then holding that monstance thing up that had the host in it, it looked like a giant sunburst, in high masses the incenmse would be going, it was a really big deal. Anyway, my opinion, how can children be baptized and it take since they haven't consciously made decision to follow Christ? I know when I was 2 wks old, I doubt I made a conscious decision to follow my mama! So if people were bacically being born Christian, what did they have to accept? I know that the whole time I was in RCC, I never once heard the plan of salvation as it truly is. I was going to hell and didn't know it, just thought I was right w/the church. Remember that Chick tract Somebody goofed-that would have been me. |

Norrie good info and thanks for it. My best buddy was Catholic and I remember going with him to confession. Afterwards he would take any dare since he was sure at that time he was ready to die. Man we talked him into some wild things and you know he never even got hurt. They had a really great Christmas Eve Mass. They had a guy that could sing Oh Holy Night until you wanted to cry it was so beautiful. EdB |

We had a guy that could really do O Holy Night too, just a kid. We were in the kid choir, I did love that part, we always sang the midnight mass at Cmas. I loved the Holy Saturday mass when they finally got to it after all the saints litany, etc, when the mass actually started, they'd start ringing the bells and we'd sing the Gloria and I loved that part. I always wanted to be an altar boy so I could ring the bells. :) Course Mama had hopes I'd be a nun and my brother a priest. :) We were the first to defect. :) | ||||||

See memories like that are missing in many churches today. They don't want to appear ritualistic so anything that would be contrued as ritual is done away with. EdB |

A little ritual never hurt anybody. :) Shoot, back then, singing all the high masses in Latin was kinda neat, it just didn't sound the same when they changed to English. Of course after that I started HS and that's when the priest said that about Bible competeing w/mythology, he and I went at in out in the hall. :) I never got into the church any more after that, just went because Mama made me go. I was 19 before I told her I'm not going any more and you can't make me. Poor Mama, she had to give up her dream of me being a nun. :) | ||||||
