42. Roman Catholicism - Is It A Cult? Out of this controversy, charges have arisen that Roman catholicism is not truly From the sociological point of view, Roman catholicism is not a cult. http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Cults/Catholicism/isitcult.htm

Roman Catholicism Is It A Cult?* To many Christians, the Roman Catholic Church is an enigma a mysterious ecclesiastical system of laws, rituals, and religious orders. For centuries there have been angry denouncements from Roman Catholics against Protestantism for the schism created by the Reformation, and from Protestants against Roman Catholicism for its theological errors and its claim to be the only one true church. Out of this controversy, charges have arisen that Roman Catholicism is not truly Christian, but is in fact, the largest and oldest "Christian" cult in the world. The Christian Research Institute , (CRI), founded by the late Dr. Walter Martin , is regarded by many as the foremost authority on cults and the occult. They also see themselves as experts on what constitutes Biblical theology. CRI has produced position papers on Roman Catholicism, addressing some of the doctrines with which they are in disagreement. They have stopped short, however, of acknowledging Roman Catholicism as a cult. They are, in fact, adamant in their defense of Roman Catholicism as an orthodox Christian religion. In this regard, they have come against others for their insistence that Roman Catholicism meets the criteria of a cult. That there are grave problems with many Roman Catholic doctrines and interpretations of Scripture, no knowledgeable non-Catholic would dispute. But to what degree does Roman Catholicism present a danger to the purity of Biblical truth? Are their teachings, practices, and liturgy commiserate with cultism? Or are they truly Christian, differing only in minor interpretations and applications? To answer these questions, it is necessary to define just what constitutes a cult.

Back to People With a History Back to People With a History: Bibliographies Index ... Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Catholic Handbook Homosexuality and Catholicism: A Partially Annotated Bibliography HTML Version 2.1, September 1997 This bibliography is an attempt to assemble all available references to discussions of homosexuality, Catholicism and Christianity in general. Data have been assembled from computerized catalogs, from the bibliographies in modern books, and from earlier printed bibliographies (especially those by Wayne Dynes and Tom Horner). Where the compiler has knowledge of the item, it has been annotated. Some annotations are based on comments made by Dynes and Horner, others from discussions of items that have taken place on the Internet. The usefulness of such a bibliography is self-evident. It is also inevitable that important references will have escaped the compiler, and/or publication details may -rarely it is hoped - be incorrect. There is also room for disagreement as to the sections underwhich certain items have been placed. Corrections and additions will be made in later versions.

47. A Comparative Look At Catholicism And The Wiccan Religions A comparison of both faiths' yearly cycles. http://www.northco.net/chenke/comp_1.html

A Comparative Look at Catholicism and Wicca Most people don't even consider these two systems of belief to be remotely compatable, or even comparable. While this is true from a doctrinal standpoint , there are many superficial comparisions that can be made, from the placement of holy days and sabbats to certain aspects of ritual work. The few comparisons I have seen written by Wiccans are largely skewed towards proving the Catholic/Christian feasts are merely off-shoots of Wiccan ones and are, largely, an attempt to debunk the faith of many people. This will be an attempt to treat both faiths with equal respect and honor. A brief analysis of the circle of the year: For Wiccans, the circle of the year is as follows: New Years is on Samhain (pronounced sow-in [Irish pronunciation]) on October 31st. This is followed by Yule, which generally falls around December 21st. Then Imbolc on Feb. 2nd, Lady Day on March 21st, Beltane on May 1st, Midsummer on June 21st, Lammas on August 1st and Harvest Home on September 21st. These feast follow the cycle of the natural year and more attention will be given to their dates and meanings to follow. However, if we overlay these two circles, we run across a remarkable discovery: they match to a certain extent. Each Wiccan sabbat follows with a Christian celebration. Although only two of the high holy days of the Catholic Church match up with a major sabbat, there are several, lesser feasts that match the wiccan equivalent. Let's take each one individually.

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Martin Luther: Against Catholicism, 1535 The Thatcher source text archives from which this text is taken is entitled Against Catholicism but without further identification. Until further information, I surmise that the text here is comprised of a series of extracts from Luther's Table Talk . The text, however derived, does summarize much of the anti-papalism of the Reformation. 'Tis wonderful how, in this our time, the majesty of the pope is fallen. Heretofore, all monarchs, emperors, kings, and princes feared the pope's power, who held them all at his nod; none durst so much as mutter a word against him. This great god is now fallen; his own creatures, the friars and monks, are his enemies, who, if they still continue with him, do so for the sake of gain; otherwise they would oppose him more fiercely than we do. The pope's crown is named regnum mundi, the kingdom of the world. I have heard it credibly reported at Rome, that this crown is worth more than all the princedoms of Germany. God placed popedom in Italy not without cause, for the Italians can make out many things to be real and true, which in truth are not so: they have crafty and subtle brains. If the pope were the head of the Christian Church, then the Church were a monster with two heads, seeing that St. Paul says that Christ is her head. The pope may well be, and is, the head of the false Church. Where the linnet is, there is also the cuckoo, for he thinks his song a thousand times better than the linnet's. Even thus, the pope places himself in the Church, and so that his song may be heard, overcrows the Church. The cuckoo is good for something, in that its appearance gives tidings that summer is at hand; so the pope serves to show us that the last day of judgment approaches. There are many that think I am too fierce against popedom; on the contrary, I complain that I am, alas! too mild; I wish I could breathe out lightning against pope and popedom, and that every word were a thunderbolt.

Help Hurricane Katrina Survivors Home Catholics are sometimes talked into leaving the Church by those who claim that many of its teachings are unbiblical. They contend that such teachings were late inventions and not part of the original deposit of faith. StayCatholic.com features essays and articles that refute such contentions by presenting the patristic and biblical evidence for Catholicism. A "Doctrinal Concordance of the Bible" is also available. It demonstrates the biblical case for Catholicism in short form. There are two versions, a longer version in the articles section and a one page version that appears on the "Book and Gift Store" page. The shorter version makes a great handout or pocket reference. A section on the Early Church Fathers is also included to demonstrate that the teachings of the early Church and the teachings of the Catholic Church are the same. This of course is quite natural as the early Church was the Catholic Church.

Permissions SPECIAL OFFERS BESTSELLER Where We Got The Bible by Henry Graham Is Catholicism Pagan? If few Fundamentalists know the history of their religion—which distressingly few do—even fewer have an appreciation of the history of the Catholic Church. They become easy prey for purveyors of fanciful "histories" that claim to account for the origin and advance of Catholicism. Anti-Catholics often suggest that Catholicism did not exist prior to the Edict of Milan, which was issued in 313 AD and made Christianity legal in the Roman Empire. With this, pagan influences began to contaminate the previously untainted Christian Church. In no time, various inventions adopted from paganism began to replace the gospel that had been once for all delivered to the saints. At least, that is the theory. Pagan Influence Fallacy Opponents of the Church often attempt to discredit Catholicism by attempting to show similarities between it and the beliefs or practices of ancient paganism. This fallacy is frequently committed by Fundamentalists against Catholics, by Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and others against both Protestants and Catholics, and by atheists and skeptics against both Christians and Jews.

An instance has now appeared that both exposes the rot and has some bearing on a subject of interest to me, the Shakespeare authorship “controversy”. Over the first weekend of June, the University of Tennessee College of Law ( Instapundit ’s home ground) will present a seminar entitled “Who Wrote Shakespeare? An Evidentiary Puzzle” . There’s nothing wrong with that topic or with the speakers. The cast includes Alan H. Nelson Steven May , Ward Elliott (a leading authority on the so far fruitless effort to resolve authorship questions with computers) and D. Allen Carroll (editor of the best available edition of Greene’s Groatsworth of Wit ). Also speaking are various anti-Stratfordians, but how could one debate the question without them?

But they will serve as a convenient grouping for purposes of illustration: Nominal or social Catholicism The Roman Catholicism of the largely uncommitted perhaps those born or married into the Church but who have little knowledge of Rome's theology. In practice, they are principally Catholics in name only, although still Catholics ''in Christ'' because of baptism.

THE SPIRIT OF CATHOLICISM Karl Adam Contents Foreword Analytical Contents Chapter I: Introductory Chapter II: Christ in the Church ... Chapter XIII: Catholicism in its Actuality Forward Karl Adam, one of the greatest of living theologians, was born in Bavaria in 1876, one of a family of ten. He received his education at the Classical Gymnasium at Amburg; the Philosophical and Theological Seminary at Regensburg; and received his Doctorate at the University of Munich in 1904. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1900 and spent the following two years doing parish work. His scholarly and theological interests soon became apparent and it was to this field that he naturally turned. In these early years his writing was specialized and was concentrated on the history of dogma. These earlier specialized works have never been translated but have been described by scholars in the field as outstanding. In 1915 he became a professor at Munich and two years later assumed the Chair of Moral Theology at Strasbourg. In 1919 he went to the University of Tuebingen to take over the Chair of Dogmatic Theology. It was at Tuebingen that he delivered the famous lectures on the Church which brought him world-wide fame. He is also considered an outstanding authority of the theology of St. Augustine and is known for his great love for tradition and the Fathers of the Church. His eminent position in the field of theology has been recognized for many years but his unswerving fidelity to his beliefs has often led him into great difficulties. A man of great dynamic force and personality, his style captivates readers and listeners alike, but any attempt to compromise or transmute his faith results in a forceful roar of protest.

60. Catholicism In America A lecture that covers the rapid growth of the Catholic church and reactions from the Protestant majority. http://www.wfu.edu/~matthetl/perspectives/seventeen.html

Lecture 16 Catholicism in Nineteenth Century America As we have already seen, the second half of the nineteenth century was a time of testing for American Christianity, particularly Protestant Evangelicalism. Not only was it challenged by changes in the intellectual, political, and economic environments, it also had to face the difficult realization that it was no longer the dominant religion of the nation. While the rapidly increasing numbers of Jews drove home the point America was no longer an exclusively Christian nation, the steady flow of Roman Catholic immigrants soon meant that Catholics were the largest single denomination in the United States. But if Protestant Evangelicals took some time to acclimate themselves to the loss of their hegemony, it also took a considerable period for the Catholic Church to put down roots in America, and to come to terms with the unique demands of this new culture. Immigration, Persecution, and Divisiveness Like Judaism, Catholicism was not seen as a threat to the Protestant project in the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1790, there were only 30,000 Catholics in the entire country, but 40 years latter that number had grown to 600,000. When the first Provincial Council of Catholic Bishops was held in Baltimore in 1829, it served to reveal to non-Catholic Americans that the church was, to use Sydney Ahlstrom's description, a "substantial, growing, and well organized reality."
