Defending the Faith: Bishop Schneider's Exploration of Heresy

[@zeroonetime]

Only Jointly, the Star of David and the Cross together will bring the anticipated Peace in the World. It will also leave the ayatollahs fumbling in dast.

What a beautiful thing to say! Still Judaism must promptly bring violent Zionism back to God's Commandments, or Zionism and Judaism will be permanently rejected.

Is this Bishop an Orthodox Catholic, if so they do not believe that the Pope is infallible.

"O.R.C. (born Anton Schneider on 7 April 1961) is a Catholic prelate, serving as the Auxiliary Bishop of Astana in Kazakhstan. He is a member of the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross of Coimbra. He is known for championing the pre-Vatican II liturgical traditions and practices of the Church and for protesting certain current policies, including some associated with Pope Francis." (Wikipedia). Sounds like he has some problems with the Holy Father's opinions (not Dogma), and so he seems to be a Roman Catholic and in full communion with Rome, at least according to a quick web search...

All of this has been answered- Out of curiosity, what religious organization do you belong to?

[@manuelpompa-u5e]

schneider should be exploring the many man-made heresies within the roman catholic church.

[@FAngus-ly8lk]

No kidding. Talk about ignoring the 800-pound in the room. Babbling about a conflict with Lutheran theology from 500 years ago as an example of current "heresy"? It would be funny if it weren't nauseating.

[@noeldoyle4501]

I challenge any of you to name and explain some of the heresies you mention. As a Catholic person, I feel sure that you have no authority or sufficient study to judge the Catholic Church. Maybe you realize that your very limited Christian faith comes from the Holy Bible which is given to you by the Catholic Church. It's reasonable to say that the Church that gave us the Holy Bible, and also the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus, (The Real Presence), understands our relationship with Our Lord Jesus much better than the groups who were persuaded to turn their backs on Christ's original Church. It's very easy to sneer, but far more difficult to actually explain one's anti-Catholic accusations.

@@noeldoyle4501 - You are delusional. I challenge you to google "Catholic child sex abuse". Thousands of citations will come up. Give yourself a few hours to read just the first hundred or so.

Seven Roman Catholic blind spots: Rome says, “We will use the word “Father” as a formal and professional title for our clergy.” But Scripture says, “call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven” (Mat_23:9 ). Rome says, “Our bishops cannot be the husband of a wife.” But Scripture says, “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife...” (1Timothy 3:2 ). Rome says, “There is nothing wrong with having statues and icons.” But Scripture says, “Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yahweh your God.” ( Lev. 26:1). Rome says, "All our saints are dead." But Scripture says that EVERY member of the congregation must be a saint while they are still living. Romans 16:15, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Corinthians 6:2, Ephesians 2:19, Ephesians 4:12, Ephesians 5:3, Philippians 1:1, Philippians 4:22, etc. Rome says: You are encouraged to incorporate repetitive elements in prayer with "decades" of ten repetitions. But Scripture says, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions..." Matthew 6:7 Rome says to honor Astarte (Easter) and Saturnalia (December 25th). These were already pagan holidays of Rome before Christianity got there. But Scripture says, “And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” (1 Corinthians 11:24-26). In other words, when He said, “this do ye as often as ye drink it” He was referring to the cup of Passover wine and the unleavened bread of the Passover meal that He was having with His disciples. Rome says, “You need to submit to our authority if you want to go to heaven.” But scripture says, “... If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:23). The Father and Son want to abide in you. Your body is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit and not a church building or a church altar (1 Corinthians 6:19). There is absolutely no room for any religious organization to insert itself into this equation. They have no right to make this kind of spiritual power grab.

Hey man. I'd recommend you research what the church says about all of these so-called problems. For instance. Paul calls himself a father to the corinthians, and he also calls Abraham the father of all the faithful. All these problems have been answered. It's the 21st century. There is the catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic answers, the vatican website, and countless other resources. There is no excuse to even call these problems.

18And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. 20And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

Mt 3:9, Jesus calls Abraham "father" Acts 7:2, ST. Stephen calls Jewish leaders "fathers" Acts 21:40, 22:1 St. Paul calls Jerusalem Jews "fathers" 1 Cor 4:14-15, Paul calls himself a "father" Cherry picking verses out of context makes the Scriptures contradictory. You should not do this, it is not wrong to call someone "father" just as the apostles themselves called others and themselves "father/fathers". You need to learn basic Catholic apologetics because this level of Protestant apologetic argument is literally the bottom of the barrel. There are actually good criticisms that can be made, you have not made one, you've just repeated one of the worst arguments from Protestant apologetics. Please try to learn more brother so you can grow in your knowledge on the faith.

The catholic church doesn't follow Holy Bible and has incorporated many pagan practices like praying for the dead. This is not scriptural.

Catholic Church has 23 different rites. There’s eastern Catholics whose majority of priests are married prior being entering into priesthood. Secondly the Latin church is only rite which keeps discipline ( not dogma) of singleness amongst priest due to Paul’s desire that those who are called to celibacy to remain single in 1 corinthians 7:8, Also Jesus spoke of those who are eunuchs for sake of kingdom of God. However if a Catholic priests wants to marry , he would have to ask permission to be laicized. After laicization , they can marry. If they want to be deacon they can do so. The Latin church kept this discipline due to 1 corinthians 7 : 32-34 regarding it is better to be single since singles can focus on pleasing the lord instead of pleasing spouse which can cause them be worldly. Eastern Catholics have more experience in able to juggle family life and ministry more than Latin rite Catholics . I would say fir Eg Charles Stanley is an example of what can happen if a pastor cannot juggle marriage and ministry. His wife divorced him. The repetitive prayers , Jesus spoke against are not same as the ones used in rosary. The repetitive prayers were used by Pharisees to show off to others ( self glorification) . However the purpose of repeating Hail Marys is to focus and concentrate on meditative prayer. It calms a person’s spirit when they have stress/ anxiety in their lives. The rosary includes the our fathers ( can include spontaneous requests directly to father); and focus on life, death and resurrection of Jesus; his ascension into heaven; the descent of Holy. Spirit. Also the assumption and coronation of Mary ( revelations 12). All are scriptural. The rosary has been useful in exorcism; people testify of healing effects from sin, cancer , addiction to drugs, porn addiction , fighting demons,
