		<description>Catholic Christianity is not just one of the great religions in this world, but it&#039;s a communion of the Eternal Father and mankind through HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord in the Holy Spirit our Almighty Advocate.</description>

		<description>Since when did &quot;poor countries&quot; become an important factor on ones &quot;quality of life&quot;? In fact, our Lord Jesus Christ taught us that money is not important. Think about it, our Savior could have been born into anything he wanted. He could have been a royal King, or a fancy merchant, but instead he chose to be born of a humble family and to be a humble Carpenter.</description>

		<description>You think God doesn&#039;t know everything?  Again your Mormon church is putting limitations on God.  I prayed on it and got this warm feeling telling me that the Mormon church was not right.</description>

		<description>It was Christs&#039; wish to send his twelve apostles to different parts of the world. These apostles and their disciples preached what they experienced from their master. so the origin of catholic church is divine. it is not a human institution as some of the protestant churches say. the main aim of the council of Trent was to hold up this view. these apostles with their christs experience preached what they heard. experienced and touched by heart. that finally gave shape to the formation of catholic church. so the catholic church is the true church.</description>

		<description>Meanwhile the beliefs of the Catholic Church (which you are so casually pushing aside) has thousands upon thousands of proofs that have been built upon by members of the Church since its inception over 2000 years ago.</description>

		<description>EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion about religion.  I for one was raised a Catholic and during my youth and early adulthood, the thought of religion was just a way to try and curb my rebellious ways. The idea of being force fed religion just caused me to apply more resistance.  
Now, the love of Christ is so important to me and I am very proud to be a Catholic.  I have embraced my faith and have asked God to forgive me for my past.  The one hour I spend every week at mass has become my personal salvation.  What I have interpreted from my faith is that Jesus was sent to this earth to relay a very simple message.  That message is the gift of eternal life while trying to do what is right in the process of helping one another.  There are so many ways that help can be provided as just a smile or a kind gesture can surely go a long way.  
May God bless all who worship the symbol of the cross and may we all experience peace in our day.</description>

		<description>There are several things that are not true here:

1. Jesus was a Jew when he died on the cross and did not know anything about Christianity and had no intent on starting a religion.
2. Jesus did not die for everybody&#039;s sins.
3. Jesus did not intend for the world to exist beyond the generation of his own people. He was a world ender and believed the world would come to an end in his own generations lifetime. There are scriptures to prove this.
4. The intent of Christ was changed by later Christian followers to deny this and other principles that Christ believed in.
5. Christ often refers to the Father as another entity and did not ever say he was divine.
6. Christ also refers to the Son of Man many times and said He would be the judge of the people on earth, not himself. Scriptures were doctored to make people believe it was him, Jesus, that would do the judging.
7. Jesus was a man who probably got his philosophy from John the Baptist who belonged to one of the many groups of Jews who felt differently about God, etc. 
8. Jesus often refers to the Pharisees and the Seducees, two Jewish sects that troubled him.
9. Jesus did not come to bring peace to the world but, as he said, to take up the sword and pit brother against brother.
10. Jesus was a rebel himself and left his family, and disagreed with a lot of people. It is why he was killed.
11. The historical Jesus is hardly mentioned by historians and several people have written convincingly that he never existed. I believe he did, but he was not anyone special to the general populous, only to the poor, the blind, the sick and the needy.
12. Jesus did not like rich people and was a champion of the poor. Nothing wrong with that but there is no sin in being rich. The &quot;easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle&quot; is a testament to that philosophy.
13. Jesus repeats himself so often that it becomes suspicious that he may have been used as a vehicle to get people to join the new monotheistic religion of Christianity.
14. Christ was an apocalyptic Jew who thought the world would end and all judgments made in 20 years of his life.</description>
