I am a recovering Roman Catholic, educated in the parochial school system, member of CYO, my great uncle was a Jesuit missionary in the Philippines from 1936 until his passing in 1980. I stopped going because something didn't seem right, then I read the bible and realized what it was - everything I was taught was unbiblical. And the more I dig the more shocked I am. I stumbled across the information on the scapulars and was shocked at how deep the rabbit hole really goes.<br /><br />I'm sure this and future posts will anger some worshipers of the RCC along with my updates on the antics of the pope, but if one person opens his eyes and actually reads the bible and give his life to Jesus instead of the frippery and idolatry of the RCC my blog will be a success.<br /><br />A good source of information with incredible references comparing the catechism and the word of God is "Preparing for Eternity" by Mike Gendron. Well worth the read, and it's available on Kindle too.Doug Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318930961031654937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-86442754624695819012015-07-09T16:22:00.665-06:002015-07-09T16:22:00.665-06:00Hi Doug,

I just spent the last year studying R.C. as this is the faith of my mom who passed away, and, well, all my wonderful, crazy Italian side. I was actually wrestling with how long I could return to this in honor of my mother. Thats a different story. But in regards to your post, I was asked to get a Brown Scapular for a family member for Christmas. This doctrine was pretty shocking. Catholic apologist (yes thats a thing) Tim Staples says "Mary, who always points us to her Son." I don't see how trusting in a piece of cloth or anything points us to her son. Purgatory, which proceeds the doctrine of indulgences is definitely the one thing that tries to dismantle the atonement. It is this that opens the door to works to bring about justification. I am sure you have heard the difference between imputed righteousness and infused righteousness. I could go on, but not sure how many characters I get in a reply. Would love to talk more about it sometime.<br />RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
