i strongly dont agree with the non-chalant attitudinal behaviour of the moderators of this section of our beloved nairaland.Yes i agree the topic is controvercial and i understand fully that the motive behind not moving it to the front page is to avert the war of words........BUT IT IS WRONG. the best you could have done is to place firm preying eyes on the thread to avoid all forms of discripancies. i am a Catholic, a strong catholic at that, but i dont believe that a forum like nairaland would hide a topic as educative as this under the carpet its sad..... GOD BLESS THE POPE..... 1 Like |

Pastor Olu T: You all realize that exodus 20 was as the Jewish laws, it's not universal, Initially The old testament wasn't part of catholism. I don't expect Romans and Greeks to leave their culture for anything, heck they even mixed their paganism with christianity to form catholism which some are still a major in all Christian denominations One good reason why I would never condemn Euro catholics is because in the face of trials and condemnation from the rising power and roman government interest in christianity, they simply reformed christianity to the best they could so as to suit their needs. some of the reforms were 1. Use of "Amen" to seal prayers 2. Crucifix and cross sign 3. Rosary 4. Trinity 6. Christmas 7. Easter 8. veneration of saints 9. Use of idols 10. Honor of the virgin mother 11. The name Iezous which is Jesus in English writing 12. Sunday worship All this 12 points above were originally Pagan practices in Rome and much of Europe so I don't have anything against them for being attached to their pre-Christian cultures. 1 Like |

Eastern Europe, however stuck more to its pre-christian beliefs. Infact Eastern Europe converted quite recently and some parts remained Pagan upto the the 14th - 16th Centuries. 1 Like |

Garri the 1st: Pagan 9ja(True son of the soil ![]() We Pagans must always show superiority by not following the footsteps of these middle eastern tokumbo religions. The point is that all religions have paganism as their root, base and template, whether they acknowledge it or not. There are too many crazy and oppressive religions in the world today. So I think singling out Catholics for mockery is not a wise choice. By doing that we are only instigating one branch of humanity against another. This is the stock and trade of tokumbo religions. It is not who we are. My point is that we should always mock and condemn the destructive aspects of tokumbo religions, not their ritualistic practices. 2 Likes |

Pastor Olu T: Believe me sir, You are in no position whatsoever to define christianity for the catholic. Everything , I mean everything you think you know about christianity came from the Roman catholic church. So no matter how many fragments, no matte how many twists that are given to Christianity, The Catholic church is the mother church and the bona fide definer of what christianity is. Whether all your treasured little beliefs are true or fiction, they know it, and you don't. 2 Likes |

Pastor Olu T: Believe me when I tell you dat the pope and all catholic heads have no regard for old testament...it's none of their business, the only reason why they have it in their Bible and deny some of their practices is because of many anti-catholic/anti Roman Christians who fell out of order and went against the church. The creation of other denominations recognized the God of Israel- this is something a strong catholic hates to hear because God is not for a people but for all people. I expect catholism to be kicked out of Africa and have Afrokristic religion for those overly devote Christians who would never leave their man-God This christian denomination would have our African Gods(amadioha, ogun, yemoja etc.) in place of saints and have Our supreme Gods(chukwu, Olodumare etc.) in place of Jehovah I swear if my kids want to convert to this religion I would let them but "white God, white Jesus, African Gods are demons, Israel is holy land" is what I would never tolerate I mean seriously Israel holy land ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

plaetton: Got it right sir plaetton. catholism is the mother of everything Christian U owe ur Bible to them You owe the very existence of christianity to them Christianity would have been a thing of history classes if not for the catholic church who believed in the power of Jesus- even though it was mostly political 1 Like |

macof: Yeah. Israeli Jews despise Christians a lot more than Muslims. But for them, Christianity is a handy tool, that, aside from tourism dollars, offers them a sort of Certificate Of Occupancy to justify their illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. |

I just came on the thread and found comments like 'if this isn't idolatry then wat is?' 'if this isn't idolatry then idolatry needs a new definition'. Then i remember dat the op has a bible passage and pics but no definition of idolatry. Before we begin the discussion of how idolatrous the catholic church is, and how pagan that is will someone tell us what exactly is idolatry. Op pls define idolatry. Thank you. |

Ukuts gp: idolatry is making images and venerating it by bowing down and praying to it. This is my definition. And the catholic are the foremost in this act.ok that is a start. 1 you said make an image. 2 you said venerating it by bowing. 3 you said praying to it. That is a 3 point definition, i love clarity and for the sake of clarity please tell me do all 3 points have to be fulfilled for it to be idolatry OR is one point enough. Do i have to make an image, venerate it and pray to it for it to become idolatry or is making an image idolatry in itself, then venerating it is another idolatry and praying to it another idolatry. Thank you. |

plaetton: That doesn't hold water sir, the greatest mistakes of the Catholics is to let the bible out, if the bible hadn't been available for all to see there wouldn't have been any problem at all. The availability of the bible to all exposed all their fallacies, I would rather be an atheist than be a Roman catholic! |
Re: Are Catholics Idol Worshippers? Pls See Pics by Ubenedictus(m): 10:20pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
Pastor Olu T:you gat it wrong, the bible has been available for abt a millenium b4 luther, dat doesnt cause problem. The real problem is when people want their personal opinion of scripture to b doctrine. That has been the cause of d problem. Beside, i'm pretty such what u claim to b fallacious isnt the catholic church but you own version of it. |
