Subject: When did the catholic church go wrong? |
Bible Note: 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. |
