The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the world's largest Christian church, with more than one billion members worldwide.[1] It is among the oldest institutions in the world and has played a prominent role in the history of Western civilisation.[2] The Catholic hierarchy is led by the Pope and includes cardinals, patriarchs and diocesan bishops. The Church teaches that it is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ,[3][4] that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles and that the Pope is the sole successor to Saint Peter who has apostolic primacy.
Christianity (from the Ancient Greek: Χριστιανός Christianos[1] and the Latin suffix -itas) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion[2] based on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings.[3] It also considers the Hebrew Bible, which is known as the Old Testament, to be canonical. Adherents of the Christian faith are known as Christians.[1] The mainstream Christian belief is that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human and the savior of humanity. Because of this, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah.[4] Jesus' ministry, sacrificial death, and subsequent resurrection are often referred to as the Gospel, meaning "Good News" (from the Greek: εὐαγγέλιον euangélion). In short, the Gospel is news of God the Father's eternal victory over evil,[5] and the promise of salvation and eternal life for all people, through divine grace.[6] Worldwide, the three largest groups of Christianity are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the various denominations of Protestantism. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox patriarchates split from one another in the East–West Schism of 1054 AD, and Protestantism came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
Let this thread of lies just whittle away.
The lies? How many times do we have to repeat ourselves

I wonder if BK will get on you about purposely lying about the sources you posted?
So it seems as if the author was expounding upon this specific rule that he made the claim in his later book.

Ourselves? Im talking to you, are you part of a group? A gang? A agenda perhaps......or you fishing for back up?
One lie which wasn't a lie as the op admitted she was mistaken. For it to be a lie you have to know the truth and perpetuate a false truth. I doubt you know the truth, I'll admit, I don't. It's just my opinion. But you now seem to be presenting your posts as fact, which it is not. NOTHING has been prooved.
So unless you know the truth, which I'm assuming you don't, it's just your opinion.....
I was more insinuating you were a fan/wannabe. Simply because of that little bit of brown on your nose there.....oops I was lying/mistaken, I have a dirty screenedit on 5-1-2013 by Wifibrains because: (no reason given)
Have you even read what you were talking about? The OP used a source a claimed the writer WA over if the finding members of freemasonry. And yet that person was born 200 or so years after freemasonry was started.

Have I? I was the second person to call the OP out on it.
And no, not a, mistake. A mistake is getting something wrong like Lincoln was 6feet tall. A lie would be saying Lincoln was a founding member of the kkk

It was only corrected after she was called out on it; ergo a lie. It would have been a mistake if she edited her post or acknowledged it of her own accord that would be different, but not after being called out about it.edit on 5-1-2013 by VeritasAequitas because: (no reason given)
