Do you know that Catholicism actually has an expiration date?
Yes, that's right...when Jesus returns, He will implement a true theocracy and no foreign gods, as the Roman cult embraces, will continue to exist.
Catholicism is set to be eradicated upon the Second Coming.
And catholicism would not exist if it were not for the deceiver, the usurper, the accuser - their father, satan.
Christ died a BRUTAL death for them and became ALL sufficient for whatever these clowns needed.
Instead? They worship porcelain.
The ingratitude is insufferable 🔥
It is from the Roman Catholic Encyclopedia on the Canon of the New Testament: the external guarantee by the Church is the "sole absolute criterion" of Divine Inspiration, and "all other evidences fall short," including the evidence of self-attestation.
"This external guarantee is the sufficient, universal, and ordinary proof of inspiration. The unique quality of the Sacred Books is a revealed dogma. Moreover, by its very nature inspiration eludes human observation and is not self-evident, being essentially superphysical and supernatural. Its sole absolute criterion, therefore, is the Holy inspiring Spirit, witnessing decisively to Itself, ... through the constituted organ and custodian of Its revelations, the Church. All other evidences fall short of the certainty and finality necessary to compel the absolute assent of faith."
It leads to a rather remarkable epistemology: if the Roman Magisterium must attest to the certainty, inerrancy and canonicity of the Scriptures, who attests to Rome’s authority? Well, nobody! Unlike God’s Word, Rome requires no such attestation.
Fr. Brian W. Harrison, in his argument, "The Ex Cathedra Status of 'Humanae Vitae'," actually claimed that it is “up to ‘the Church’ to decide ‘how far her infallibility extends: otherwise there could never be any certainty.” If the Church is not self-attesting, he said, “infallibility would be placed in grave peril, and the whole of religion would … be placed in doubt.”
Imagine that: God's Word requires second party attestation, but if you demand the same of Rome, the universe implodes and "the whole of religion is placed in doubt."

@badtechnotakes You read the Bible and the Church Fathers. Great.
Now show me where they taught:
Prayer to saints.
Purgatory.
Indulgences.
The pope as supreme head of the universal church.
Mary's Immaculate Conception.
Mary's bodily Assumption.
Because those are Roman Catholic doctrines.
If you're relying on anyone but Jesus Christ for your salvation, you're doomed.
This includes a dead woman, a dead woman you pretend is alive, your pastor/priest/pope/imam/rabbi, your spouse, your parents, your children, your dog, icons/idols, statues, a book, or your own works.
Another scripted line from the play, "how to deceive", written by satan.
Catholicism is catholicism. A satanic, pagan, blasphemous cult.
If it were Christian - they would be called Christian and would surrender wholeheartedly to, serve and worship Jesus - and Him alone.
The people calling this heresy are genuinely insane. Call the doctor and check yourself in.
Jesus created Mary. Mary did not create Jesus. She is not His creator. She bore him in her womb. His flesh descended from her flesh, like all children, yes. But she did not “give” him her humanity. The incarnation was a work of God.
Catholics always run to “your church started in 1863” like age proves truth.
Hinduism, Judaism, Paganism are all older than Catholicism.
Your point is?
Relics are not hard to understand. I understand them well enough to know the Bible never told Christians to generate mumified foreskins, dried breast milk, bones, reconstituted blood and skull fragments.
Feast of the Holy Foreskin.
"The Feast of the Holy Foreskin (tied to the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ) was historically observed on January 1. The Roman Catholic Church removed the specific "Circumcision of the Lord" designation from the General Roman Calendar after the Second Vatican Council (now the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, on January 1). Eastern Catholics, Traditional Roman Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox still observe the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord on that date."
The Holy Foreskin.
"The Holy Foreskin (Holy Prepuce) is currently missing. Multiple European churches claimed to possess it during the Middle Ages (at least 30+ according to some counts), but the most recent and prominent one was in the village of Calcata, Italy (about 47 km north of Rome). It had been housed there since around 1527 and was publicly paraded annually. It disappeared in 1983 (reportedly stolen from the priest's home, possibly from a shoebox), and its location remains unknown."
Mary's Breast Milk.
"Mary's breast milk relics primarily derive from the Milk Grotto (Chapel/Grotto of Our Lady or Crypta Lactea) in Bethlehem, near the Church of the Nativity. Tradition holds that a drop of Mary's milk fell while nursing Jesus (during the flight to Egypt), turning the cave's limestone white. Pilgrims have long taken powdered white rock from the grotto as relics (often called "Virgin's milk" or "holy milk powder"), which were distributed widely in Europe and the East, especially after the Crusades. These powdered chalk relics ended up in various European churches and collections (e.g., a notable reliquary in the Treasury of Oignies, Belgium). The grotto itself (a Catholic chapel rebuilt in 1872) remains the main site; powdered rock is still available there for devotional use."
Heads of John the Baptist.
"John the Baptist heads: Multiple locations claim relics (skulls or fragments) of his head, consistent with medieval division and translation of relics. Claims often cited as primary include:
Umayyad Mosque (Great Mosque of Damascus), Syria — Head (or part) preserved since early Islamic times; incorporated into the mosque built over a prior Christian church.
Amiens Cathedral, France — Front part of a skull (forehead to upper jaw), brought by Crusader Walon de Sarton from Constantinople in 1206.
San Silvestro in Capite Basilica, Rome, Italy — Top portion of the skull (without jaw), housed in a chapel.
Residenz Museum, Munich, Germany — Skull fragment in a reliquary, from the Bavarian ducal collection."
