Ha Ha! Yeah, that's right.

What is this supposed to be, an Episcopalian bash? Are you questioning the legitimacy of the Episcopalian faith?

No, I think that PP is just pointing out a historical fact. But some others on here hate Catholics so much that I am sure that "Catholic Light" is also fair game for them. Oh, but they let everyone have Communion, so at least they are not "rude."

It's easy to know what this means without googling. "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church". Catholics like to use it to show that their church was founded by Jesus himself.

I wonder why Jesus allowed all those other Christian churches to form?

Catholicism is a collection of beliefs about how the world is and how people should act in it. As such, it is open to criticism. Just like every other ism. And bashing is okay too if there is something particularly bad about it. Like the fact that it is based on fairy tales, pushes shame on people pointlessly, has a history of murdering non-believers and abusing believers, scams people out of billions, benefits from corrupt tax protections, treats women and gays as second class citizens, etc. The real question is, why do Catholics deserve praise?

You have to remember until the schism of 1054 there was only one true holy catholic and apostolic church.

I'm guessing the comment came fom a Catholic trying to show that the Catholic church is more legit because Jesus himself started it and not some King who wanted a divorce.

Of course, Jesus lived and died a Jew, before there was any such thing as a "church."

Funny, I bet you defend Islam, which does most of the things you accuse Catholics of and then some. It's just that in your faux liberal circles, the Catholic church is just a more fashionable target.

Well, we used to believe only Catholics went to heaven. We've revised that. Jesus said in my Father's house there are many rooms. We've reserved the ones by ice and vending machines for the Protestants! ?

That was a joke, but obviously PP didn't get it.

It's ok for WASPs and/or self haters to bash Catholics because Catholics are associated with white ethnic people in the US and such attacks are proof of one's moral and political superiority.
