Narrow gate,
Why don't you tell these nice people how we Catholics worship a statue of MARY, BUT ITS NOT MARY, ITS THE WOMEN in chapter 12 in the Revelation, in my town they worship this statue as Mary the mother of JESUS, or as the Catholic church states the mother of GOD, it was bought direct from Vatican, under the lady is a moon, crescent, sometimes they even have a snake or even beast under this statue. This women represents the women in chapter 12 in Revelation', with 12 stars above her head. This same statue is also the statue of LIBERTY in NEW YORK. Is that sick that not one statue represents MARY-MIRIAM, They all represent the new world order with their own nation of superior people.
My Country is poor, has 5 million people and VATICAN STEALS FROM US 200 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR PLUS ALL THE MONEY THEY GIVE TO THE CHURCH IN MY COUNTRY IS VERY VERY SICK.
And you say the POPE IS GOOD, please, if I was alife 200 years ago they would burn me on a stake.
You are so confused, and also not a Catholic. A Catholic is someone who believes in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
We do not worship the whore what are you insinuating? Furthermore if you bothered to learn what Catholicism is about you would know we do not worship statues you. You must make yourself like a child. We ask Holy Mary, Mother of God, to pray for us and intercede for us through her Son, Jesus Christ. Worshiping statues is idle worship and therefore a source of serious evil. But you never read the Catechism, so you wouldn't know would you.
The statue of liberty has nothing to do with the Mother of God, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth who is our Savior.
And yes, in past times the world altogether was more brutal. That does not mean it was right, it means you are implying it was something unusually evil in the world that is specific to people in the Church. That is not the case.
I am sorry your country is poor. I would refer you to St. Thereasa's "Way of Perfection". Here is a link with the free download you will have to scroll down a bit though saintsbooks.net... . It will help you understand some things that will change your life living in a poor country (she was likely much much more poor than you, considering you have internet). She was one of the greatest people to live from what I have gathered.
I will not respond to the fraudulent Catholic.
Infinity, what are you talking about? Unsubstantiated claims by someone who admittedly chooses destruction are not something I will be listening to.
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Do you intentionally misconstrue things people say? You have done this to me in two threads now.
Are you just having a problem with logic tonight?
I was talking to you still, just not buying what you say for the reason I stated.
I am done talking to a blasphemer and heretic who claims to be in the Church while spreading blatant lies that any 2nd grade Catholic could see through.

Because The Holy Trinity is very simply Gods own description of himself ( BEING ONE) to man.
Is it strange that God is never described as a holy three and always called a Holy One then?

you can't be serious. Have you ever considered the possibility that you are not wise, but a blaspheming heretic?
Satan can even take a piece of scripture and flip it to suit his goals (temptation of Christ). You have to look at the Scripture in it's entirety and apply it, and judging by that last post not to mention the rest you do not do that. You pick and choose what you like, and interpret it as you wish at the time.

Do you find it strange that God is never described as a holy three and always called a Holy One if God describes Himself as a holy trinity as you say?

I'm having a problem with your use of the word never. But no I don't think it's strange but I disagree with never. I think that's my answer .
I apologize. Did that answer your question and get us to your follow up ?

Then continue on, but no one is going to follow your wide path.
