There he is again: Buffalo's sleazy TV reporter Charlie Specht
Last month, acting on a tip from a loyal reader of this site, David F. Pierre, Jr. of TheMediaReport.com called into Buffalo radio station WBEN when told that Buffalo television reporter Charlie Specht would be appearing as a guest on a talk show.
Once on the air, Pierre questioned Specht over a story he had aired in which a man, Gene Walczak, claimed that a priest, Rev. Joseph Gatto, groped him outside a Walmart in the 1980s. But as our prior post revealed, there was not even a Walmart in the Buffalo area until years later, in 1995. Walczak's claim was bogus.
The truth shall set you free
Upon being asked about his story, Specht growled that Pierre was simply a "troll" who believed that the entire Catholic sex abuse story is a "hoax." (Not true, obviously.)
While we ignore Specht's childish personal attacks, Specht did admit that we were correct about our post. "You're right," Specht conceded. There was not a Walmart in the Buffalo area in the 1980s. Specht then said that the priest's accuser now claims that the incident occurred at a now-defunct Ames store.
Specht didn't explain how the accuser mistook a Walmart superstore for an Ames store.
But Specht's admission leaves us with more questions:
1. Why does the erroneous story about a nonexistent Walmart still appear on the station's web site? What else did the accuser Walczak get wrong?
2. Why does Specht and his station continue to display a letter that accuses another priest (Rev. Dennis Riter) of abuse in 1992 when the letter has been shown to be a modern forgery?
Specht would do well to further unburden himself by answering these questions and correcting the record. But if past history is any guide, don't hold your breathas Specht is likely only looking for the next crazy headline to boost his ratings-challenged station's Nielsens.
Congratulations Dave Pierre! It was a great moment to call them out, on air!! That's what all the Bolsheviks need! To be called out publicly! They switch the accusations, and call us "trolls". Being for truth I guess I'm thrown in with the " trolls". Of course, liars like specht are a different breed of "troll". Dan – servant of who?- is definitely a troll!
Why is it Bozo that you have absolutely nothing of any substance to add to any conversation. It was entirely uncalled for to bring me into your stupid comment. servant of the Real Truth, non-catholic
Dan – you're always just itching to call st. Mary a "goddess"! I'll always defend her! So who's trolling? I'm trolling for the truth! – PC. Pax to you , brother Dan!
Jack, Why don't you go back in your box! Mary is your catholic "goddess". You've made billions of statues of her, some horrendous, place her on pedestals or elaborately decorated litters, crown, bow and pray to her, calling her your Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. All of you catholics can deny your idolatry all you like, but actions speak for themselves. servant of the Truth
Sorry Clown, You're a lying troll!
Dan – if you were as diligent in calling out those who worship money in the world, as to those who venerate Mary, then, gee, what a better place it might be. Just think, you'd be calling out those who spend billions on needless body care and overpriced gym membership, to give that money to the poor and homeless! How significant, instead of wasting your time here, disrespecting Mary, and your complaints falling on deaf ears! You'd be doing something we can all agree on. Humpty, don't take that Dumpty, and have a great fall!
Let me get this straight. You want me to stop calling out catholic's incessant worship of Mary, in order to call out those who spend billions, like your church, making silk dresses and all the accoutrements for your gay clergy, building exorbitantly priced Temples filled with idols crowned with gold and precious stones and museums filled with the same idolatry. Who serve hotdogs, salisbury steak and slop to the poor like their precious Mother Theresa, claiming to help the poor and sick while bedding them in squalor, but at same time collecting millions in donations and rubbing elbows with rich kings and politicians. And let's not forget that they don't pay taxes like other rich people. Hey Bozo, I think I just took your good advice. Thanks for the tip.
P.S. How astute of you to realize my "complaints falling on deaf ears". As if I didn't know that after quoting Scripture predicting unrepentant sinners being deaf, blind, stubborn, hard-headed and stiff-necked idolaters, disobeying God and His commandments.

May I suggest this passage from Luke's Gospel:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.
(Lk 1: 46-55)
And before that:
6 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace,[a] the Lord is with you!”[b] 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her,[c] “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High;
and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no husband?” 35 And the angel said to her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be born[d] will be called holy,
the Son of God.
Dan, your complete disrespect for the Mother of God, Mediatrix of all Graces, the Mother of Mercy who is our Life, Sweetness and Hope, who will pray for us as we venture through this valley of tears, is quite troubling. That you dare to insult the Mother of God, Jesus our King is frightening. I would be very careful if were you.
Cathy, You're a bit confused. I have absolutely no disrespect for Mary of the Bible. I have a huge problem with the catholic representation of their Queen of Heaven, lies and fawning over her, making her this sinless, perfect human being. Mary calls herself a "lowly servant". No one labels themselves such who doesn't realize they're some sort of sinner. I'm a sinner and I never called myself a lowly servant. Please don't tell me how she was so humble and more malarkey. As a Christian, Jesus is the only way to the Father and there is no other way. No other mediator, advocate or helper. It's all catholic lies, making the human half of Jesus something she is not. "All have sinned and fallen short of the Lord's glory." This is heresy in the first degree. How "dare" you insult Biblical Truth. "I would be very careful if I were you."
Another heresy, "And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father and He is in heaven." Matthew 23:9
Explain how your church has the audacity to call perverted pedophile priests father and your pope "Holy Father", as if he is God himself. Despicable! And don't use the lame excuses I've heard from several of your priests, "Well don't you call your father, father." I never did call him father and surely never wrote or called him the title, father capitalized. I would be very careful if I were you.
servant of the Lord
P.S. Didn't even know Dan Corner untill Julie and llc forced me to look up the guy a month or two ago. Never called myself "Holiness". Never wrote one book. Never distributed Bible tracts. Never asked anyone for Donations. Never had or wanted my own website. Not him or his minion. Can you stop the stupid accusations?
Dan G.,
Your last paragraph proves your ridiculous idolatry. She is not the Mother of God (you could call her mother of Jesus), not any kind of mediatrix (your only trixed), Has nothing to do with God's or Christ's mercy, nor HIS life, sweetness or hope. To claim so is to make her your savior and salvation. More heresy and you are heading towards the "valley of tears", which "is quite troubling".
Servant of the Almighty and is he ever angry with false teachings, especially catholic ones. That"s not my take. The Bible will tell you so. Try paying attention to what you quote, you, LLC and Julie. If you don't understand it, follow it, obey it and live it, then watch out, because changing, misinterpreting and perverting the Word will actually destroy you. You've been warned all you deaf, dumb or blind. Bozo told me you guys are at least deaf and my words are falling on deaf ears. The Bible tells me that they would.
Dan,
"She is not the Mother of God (you could call her mother of Jesus)" = such magnificent ignorance of Scripture! What would Elizabeth say (Luke 1:43) …
Since, for you, Jesus is not God, you are not a Christian. But this is not news.
Have a great day, non-Christian brother.
Dan – I looked it up recently,also! LL C , Julie, and all the other cathys seem to recognize certain similarities!!!!! Especially , the Mary conflict of yours!!! Dan Corner has written books about it!! With that type of shill, paranoid, accusations about her, why wouldn't your posts fall on deaf ears?!?! I'm taking you at your word, though! It would be difficult to keep up with your postings here, as well as all Dan Corner activities, seemingly! Pax Brother Dan, Christian or not!
Your a complete idiot and deceiver! I have no problem with mother of Jesus or mother of my Lord, as Elizabeth claims. MARY, YOUR QUEEN OF HEAVEN, WILL NEVER QUALIFY AS THE MOTHER OF GOD. To even hint at such a thing is heresy against all Biblical Truth and total ignorance of Scripture! What would God the Father say?
Next thing you'll be calling your Pachamama, Christ's Stepmother of God.
Have a great day, heathen
"All Scripture is breathed out by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Tim. 3:16
Catholics – This is Biblical Scripture, and yet you're willing to allow deceivers try to convince you that the Word is somehow lacking and you're in need of so much more, the traditions of a fallen church, their magisterium and catholic false teachings in order to be complete. Please come to your senses and escape the wrath that is coming upon all false churches. Read the Lord's Word, believe in it and lean on it mightily. We are living in difficult days of much evil, poor teaching and deceptive leaders. Come to the Lord of Truth. He will not disappoint you.
Oneness Dan has this to say:
Your last paragraph proves your ridiculous idolatry. She is not the Mother of God (you could call her mother of Jesus), not any kind of mediatrix (your only trixed), Has nothing to do with God's or Christ's mercy, nor HIS life, sweetness or hope.

That title from the very beginning is most telling the most damning to your assertions that we are idolaters. Mary had the title THEOTOKOS, Greek for God-bearer or Mother of God. You see, from that title alone did the Early Church believe that not only was Jesus Human but God Incarnate. And since He is God Incarnate then if follows that Mary is the Mother of God.
Theologically, the terms "Mother of God", "Mother of Incarnate God" (and its variants) should not be taken to imply that Mary is the source of the existence of the divine nature of Jesus, who existed with the Father from all eternity,[14] or of her Son's divinity.[15] Within the Orthodox and Catholic tradition, Mother of God has not been understood, nor been intended to be understood, as referring to Mary as Mother of God from eternity — that is, as Mother of God the Father — but only with reference to the birth of Jesus, that is, the Incarnation. To make it explicit, it is sometimes translated Mother of God Incarnate.[1
So Dan, once again, you fail miserably in your attacks. It is clear that not only are you ignorant of Sacred History you are also pitifully wrong in all of your beliefs.
Dan quotes the typical 2 Tim 3:16 which is predictable. Only problem is is that within that verse, nowhere does it say "scripture alone." I will retort with the predictable 1 Tim 3:15 where is says that the Church is the pillar and bullark of Truth. Therefore since the NT comes from the bosom of the Church and not the other way around, the Church is the only expositor of the Bible both Old and New and it's sole custodian. Oh Dan, you need the Church. You need to receivd the Body of Blood of Christ in the Eucharist and you need to receive Him worthily (Jn 6; 1 Cor 10 and 11). You need to confess your sins (Lv 19:20-22; Jn 20:21-23). You need, in short, to ditch your false christianity, ditch your truncated bible for the complete Catholic Bible, you need to wear sackcloth and throw ashes over your head and lament your dire state. You need to apologize to Mary and Her Son. My God, you need a complete makeover!
Yes, how true, Dan G.! Sackcloth would be good! There is still time , Dan. You had no new year resolution, but lent is coming up Feb. 29, I think.taking an RCIA class would be appropriate. Don't think you'd make it for Easter, though!
Many times I look at the archives here, you are saying the same thing from 5 years ago, to "publion"! Pax brother Dan!
Hey Cathy's Clown, I'll cover all your ignorance in one comment. It's strange how you've looked at the archives and yet still can't seem to actually add anything of intelligence to the conversation. You've repeated your stupid Bolshevik nonsense for quite a long time, either that, or you're flattering your fellow cathy's clowns, LLC, Malcolm, Julie, now Dan G. and especially your hero, publiar. Maybe you should try being your own man instead of a little kiss ass.
No I won't be taking an RCIA class anytime soon. Let me correct that. EVER! Have no interest in celebrating your Pachamama fertility goddess Eostre holiday.
I attended a catholic funeral recently to witness there chapel mural covering the full wall behind the altar. I couldn't believe my eyes. Idolatry to the tenth degree. Mary being crowned by an uncrowned Jesus with His huge cross and God with a pyramid on His head. The dove of the Spirit, that John witnessed coming down on Jesus, coming down on your Queen of Heaven. I verified the image as a catholic painting "Crowning of Our Lady". As if that wasn't bad enough, your goddess, who catholics claim crushes the head of Satan, is standing on what appears to be the head of Jesus. Cathys, please stop trying to convince us that all your wicked idolatry is an innocent mother pointing the lost towards her son. Nothing but wicked deceit. servant of The Lord
P.S. A commenter to your latest Alaska pedophile debacle sarcastically stated something to the effect, "All we have to do is a few indulgences, [babbling prayers to Mary], and all our sins become legit." And let me add that you think you're forgiven and move on to other states or countries to molest more little boys. Take that! Joker!
Dan G. says, "nowhere does it say 'scripture alone' ". Please show me where it says Scripture, catechism, magisterium, tradition and false catholic teachings are "breathed out by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness …"? You think if you throw any verse out there than that becomes your truth? Your church will never qualify as the "pillar and bullark of Truth". Maybe bullark, but definitely not bulwark. How can a church of liars, deceivers and deniers, led by pedophiles and perverts ever think they own the Truth? Your cult didn't even write the Word, so how can you claim it "is the only expositor of the Bible and it's sole custodian". You and your church are some of the most deceived egotistical hypocrites I've ever run across. Anyone has access to the Bible, and understanding and interpreting it can only be spiritually discerned by the Lord's chosen. That you believe only the catholic church and it's deceived are qualified, is the utmost example of arrogance and pride.
Keep your drinking of blood and confessions for yourselves. You're not my judge. Go tar and feather yourself. I don't think those deceived by men who wear silk dresses and fish heads should be suggesting to anyone about needing a makeover. I have no need to apologize to your catholic version of Mary. You turned her into an idolized whore (Rev. 17).
Can someone explain to Dan G. that I have no problem with the Catholic Bible. One of my favorite versions. Too bad your church doesn't follow, understand or obey it.
Dan,
“I attended a catholic funeral recently” = hopefully, it wasn’t for the friend you have been assisting. Continuous prayers for his and your good health.
“Mary being crowned by an uncrowned Jesus with His huge cross and God with a pyramid on His head” = I cannot attest for all painting depicting Mary’s coronation, but I suspect that you were admiring a copy or rendition of the original “the Crowning of Mary”, in display at the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, in beautiful Cordon, France (see? it is not difficult to provide some background). Few notes here:
1) Mary is crowned (passive form), meaning her status is not due to her own power. She is humble and doesn’t assume self-imposed titles, unlike you (or Napoleon – interesting similarities here). She is the Queen of Heaven, due to the simple fact that she is the Queen Mother of the King of Heaven, Jesus. Similarly, Bathsheba, spouse of King David, is described as “the Queen Mother” (Jeremiah 13:18) in relation to Solomon. In the ancient kingdoms of the Near East, the mother of the ruling king held an important office in the royal court and played a key part.
2) Jesus’ cross must be huge. Think about your own sins (huge, indeed).
3) The symbol on God’ head is not a pyramid; it is a triangle, one of the simplest symbols of the Trinity. Just as God is three persons, but only one God, a triangle has three sides but it is one shape. Perhaps geometry was not taught in your high school.
4) Mary received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
5) If Jesus is crowing Mary, how can His head be at the same time under her feet? Most likely, Mary is standing over the Earth.
6) In Romans 16:19-20, Paul says (referring to all Christian): “For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil; then the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet”. Mary is the archetype of obedience and faith. Also, note that it is not by her own power that she crushes Satan; it is God who performs the action.
Regarding your commentary of the “latest Alaska pedophile debacle”, if you can’t provide a complete and accurate quote, it is received as the rest of your opinions: with utter disregard. Incidentally, indulgences do not make sins “legit”. Not that you would know what the Church actually teaches.
Have a blessed week, non-Cristian (and art illiterate) brother.
People's cloown, that is always how fundamentalists work. They have a list of bible quotes and nearly 99% of them are taken out of context. A catholic will answer their question/accusation with well thought out responses that include scripture, the Fathers, and historical records and they respond but making another accusation followed by another out of context biblical quote. They never answer our questions directly which means the never answer our questions. Some people will say why bother with them. I say we must per the directive of our first Pope St. Peter:
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to givean answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
Dan G. – Please refer to my last comment in the previous article. This twisting, manipulating and lying comment of yours deserves no response. Your nonsense and ignorance is not worth my time or energy.
Dan the fundy has gfven us another golden nugget:

So that's it. Jesus is crowing His Mother as Queen of Heaven (See Rv 12) the Dove (see Lk 3:22) comning down upon her. Is that so bad? I mean, Her being the Mother of God Incarnate by whom she become pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit is out of whack? You are totally ignorant of ancient Christian symbolism. And the fact that behind God has the, ahem, pyramid behind His head is just a symbol of the Holy Tirinity. And as far as Mary crushing Satan's head, pleas refer to Gn 3:15. My God, you have no class! You have so much disdain for the Mother of God Incarnate, the Queen of Peace, and of Heaven. I pity you.
You might want to be careful of using the Lord's name in vain (My God). You have no class!
Regarding Gen. 3:15 – You don't find it at all strange that only the Catholic Bible states "I will put enmity … between your offspring and hers; They will strike at your head …"
All the other versions of the Bible state that, HE (her offspring) will either crush, strike or briuse the head of the serpent. I've heard several times now from catholics, jesuits, monks, priests and clergy on EWTN that Mary crushes the head of Satan. leaving Jesus completely out of the equation. Now you explain to me how your church teaching is right and all the other Bible versions are wrong? You have much "disdain" for the Truth. "I pity the fool!"
Once again, Mary is not the Mother of God in any form or fashion. Christians accept mother of Jesus and mother of the Lord, never Mother of God. That's period. Why do you insist on Mary being more than just a blessed human being. All other Titles only amount to lies that do not line up at all to Mary's profession in Luke 1:46-55. This is the Mary I love and have no problem with. servant of her Son, Jesus
Dan – yes, publion was a great poster! He is definitely in the media report poster hall of fame! He was always concise and logical, unlike you, the "don't rickles" of posters, with your insults. But, I chalk it up to "crabby Dan" posting at 2:30 in the morning.
Speaking of a## kiss, I hope you told off those Cathy's at the funeral, and that you critiqued that painting to them, saying they are following a pachemama goddess, especially the person who died. Shout it from the front of the casket, but I don't think you did! Its easy to be an internet warrior!
I'm proud of all my fellow Cathy's, doing the work of defending Jesus and the Church! They all do a great job, and I think you can agree with this! Pax to your soul, remember st. Augustine! – PC
So glad you're so impressed with another "concise and logical" catholic liar and deceiver. You'll be in the catholic hall of fame for brown-nosing. That's 11:30 pm in beautiful California. Sorry you can't stay up that late.
I'm no coward like. I spread the Word to catholics near their churches and that's why they lied and falsely accused me. Can you deceivers ever stop judging me or thinking you know the strength of a true Christian. I'll personally stand against any false church and their hypocritical lying leaders and clergy anyday, in person or dealing here on the internet. No, I'm not going to disrespect lost and confused catholics at funerals.
Of all the catholics in this forum, I wish I could talk face to face with you. I get along pretty well with catholic friends and people I meet, but I do stand my ground when it comes to my beliefs. Sad that indoctrinated churchies think I'm their enemy, when really nothing is further from the truth. Even the Bible states that you'll be hated by the world if you're His. I've run into alot of hate, but have had some good experiences also. I could only wish you guys were "doing the work of defending Jesus", rather than the work of defending imaginary goddesses and your confused church. Peace.
Dan the rancorous fundy says:
Dan G. says, "nowhere does it say 'scripture alone' ". Please show me where it says Scripture, catechism, magisterium, tradition and false catholic teachings are "breathed out by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness …"?

I don't think those deceived by men who wear silk dresses and fish heads should be suggesting to anyone about needing a makeover. I have no need to apologize to your catholic version of Mary. You turned her into an idolized whore (Rev. 17).
The Church, Dan, is the pillar and bullwark of Truth. When Jesus Christ sent out the Apostles and told them that he who hears you hears me, do you think that that ended with the death of the last Apostle? Do you really think that Christ abandoned Christians who, at that time, did not have an agreed upon list of books, to conduct themselves without a Church who teaches and guides through her bishops and priests? If you do, then you really don't think all that highly of our Lord.
OH and did Jesus Christ say that His Church is only filled with saints? Did he not say that he came to heal the sinners not the righteous? And did he not say in his parables that both the wheat and chafe will be together (understood in His Church) until the end of time when they will both be separated with the chafe to go into the furnace? Dan, how is it possible that even though there have been wicked popes, priests, laity, religious and the like in the Church together with the good that the Church has never taught heresy and that the Deposit of the Faith remains intact until this very day? Do you believe Christ when He said that His Church will prevail against the gates of hell even with agents of the devil working within its very walls? Dan you say you like your Catholic Bible but why don't you work with a protestant one? I mean that Catholic Bible you have in your hands is the very one agreed upon as being complete and inspired, without error by the very Church you denigrate? Dan, tell me again, where it says faith alone is what is going to get you to heaven and then explain the parable of the sheep and goats in the end of the world discourse to me and how that squares with the faith alone error.
Also explain your disdain for the Sacrament par excellence and how that squares with the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, and 1 Corinthians 10-11. I fail to see how you are bible believing yet can't conceive of this. I guess your the blind trying to teach the blind. SIgh….
Dan G.,
And your church is filled with self-appointed saints that were either pedophiles, pederasts and perverts, or even as annoying, their protectors and defenders. Saints no, "chaff" most definitely. Your church is going to be predominantly chaff. Hopefully some catholics will come to their senses and there will be some remnant coming from your cult.
Your church is nothing but heresy and I don't see any Biblical reference to a "Deposit of the Faith". Guess we'll just have to chalk that up to more heresy. God is saving your church for His final destruction of the Whore of Babylon. The devil works within it's walls, because it's run by Satan. You won't have to worry about your church "prevail[ing] against the gates of hell", because it's already within Hell's Gates.
You haven't noticed my quoting from several versions of the Bible (NIV, ESV, GNB, KJV). I do like the catholic bible for the Apocrypha and my Good News has the impimatur, though that doesn't make much difference to me. And how many times do I have to tell you that I have no problem with your Bible and wish you catholics would start following and obeying it.
By the way, when are any of you catholics going to dispute my claim that those six chapters and other verses I quoted a couple weeks ago, perfectly described your church? Can't dispute it, now can ya, idolaters? And you say it's me that doesn't answer to your nonsense. Are you kidding?
I don't believe in faith alone. I believe that you prove your faith by your deeds. Why do I say that. BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN IN THE WORD! James 2:17-20 Why do you think you know me or how I believe. Apparently you know little or nothing about me, to the point that you're blinded and deafened to even realize that I am the real Christian in this discussion. I think many of you blind have already fallen into the ditch. Blind perverts leading blind sheep, shepherds not caring for the sheep, except for their own financial gain and using them to fulfill their fleshly lusts.
Wake up, catholics. Stop choking on the sulfuric gases of your darkness and come out into the light. Try breathing some oxygen and it might awaken the brain cells. servant
LLC, I answered to your stuff below this comment.
This is priceless from Dan the fundy:
Can you deceivers ever stop judging me or thinking you know the strength of a true Christian.
Say what? All you have been doing is judging our souls and calling us all kinds of derogatory names despite the fact that your bible tells you not to do so. Of course we judge a persons actions as we ought to do but to judge their character and soul is quite a different matter. So much for a bible believing, ahem, christian.
And I ask again, how can you explain the perspecuity of scripture yet account for the thousands of protestant sects that keeps on growing all of whom believe the bible as their sole rule of faith?
Wait a minute! I've been attacked on average by at least five catholics at any given time, judging and condemning me and calling me several derogatory names in this forum for the last four years or so. So this is all fine because you think you are the real Christians in this debate?
I am not Christ and am truly human with faults. So-called religious people ganging up on me, with unfair odds, and I'm the one who has to act holy and take it all with a grain of salt and turn the other cheek? I think we all could use some work in this area. If it applies to me then it should also apply to you, but maybe as catholics who don't follow the Bible well, you think God's rules don't apply to you but only to real Christians. servant forgiven by His blood
P.S. "The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one." 1 Cor 2:15 Catholics living in glass houses of lust should be careful who they think they can judge.
And why don't you ask protestants that question, because I don't belong to any of their sects and wouldn't know why there are so many. And why are there so many divisions in your church? The Bible is the most excellent source for understanding the Spiritual wisdom from God and is best in evaluating other material, but I've been in contact with real prophets whom God has blessed with added wisdom. The test is that their words must line up with His Word. Teachings and words not conforming to His Word are easily tossed out.
And those protestant sects are quite similar to catholics in worshiping the almighty dollar, rather than the Almighty God. They're usually lacking though in competing with your idolatry and molesting of young boys. That doesn't mean that they aren't child molesters though. I've been appalled by some of their creeps also. Don't know how any leaders can stand to give sermons or say mass when they're living such disgusting private lives. True Hypocrisy!
Dan – what do you expect Cathy's to do with the way you treat and talk about the Mother of God? Should they be polite, and not call you out on it? Again, youre the "don rickles" of this website. I've tried not to be insulting to you, though for a period of time, I thought you were possessed, and needed exorcism, as well as recommending catholic exorcist books to read.
LLC, PC et all of my "cathy" partners. Let's oblige Dan the Fundy and meet him face to face to debate him. I live in Boston. Any takers?
Dan G.,
I appreciate your offer, but, as you have gathered from Dan's posts, he is a very disordered fellaw. It's not possible to debate someone who doesn't have clear ideas of what his beliefs are, or can't articulate them in a concise and reasonable way. Simply quoting Scriptures (habitually improperly) does not account for the different interpretations possible, often diametrically opposed.
Furthermore, by his own admission he doesn’t belong to any (organized) church, so it’s not possible to research such beliefs in any catechism or constitution or book of order. Therefore, until he can provide some basic information on the basis of his theology, interacting with him in this blog is more than enough, at least for me.
Have a blessed week, brother.
LLC,
I have absolutely no response to your consistent lies and manipulations regarding me, your catholic ignorance and nonsense regarding Scripture, or your false interpretations based on your church's catechism, unsacred traditions, filthy atrtistic treasures or the perverted so-called wisdom and pronouncements of your magisterium, most often men who are either pedophiles, pederasts, perverts or their excusers and defenders. How you catholics think you are anything close to God, Jesus or His Holy Spirit is way beyond me! servant
Dan g – I live in the midwest . its difficult to travel. Sorry. – PC
Dan, fundy, another question, a little personal but since you are such a bible believing christian who follows the book, do you wear clothing of mixed fibers like say, linen and wool? If so, then how do you square it with this bible verse: e shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. (Leviticus 19:19)
For a people wishing to take full credit for choosing, arranging, and being the sole expositor and custodian of Scripture, as if they wrote the book, you catholics sure struggle to understand or interpret the Word. Now you're somewhere out in left field, grasping for straws, trying to claim one must follow all the laws of the Old Testament. When the laws of the Old, are changed in the New, you no longer go backwards to follow the Old. Col. 2:16-23
"16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath Day." 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you…. going on in detail about visions … puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual minds. 20 Since you died with Christ … why, as though you still belong to the world, do you submit to it's rules: Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch! 22 These rules … are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humilty and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." Col. 2:16-23
In other words, all of your manmade rules, rules against marriage, false humility and rules for food etc., will only lead you into corrupt sexual desires. Catholic teaching in a nutshell. When you get together to meet me face to face, I'll destroy all your preconceived notions of Christianity with Bible proof to back it up. Will you come with an open mind or with your indoctrinated false teachings, void of God's wisdom and knowledge?
I'm a caregiver for my semi-quadriplegic friend, who's been writing prophecies since I've been taking care of 'her'. Thanks and she's fine. Could you inform Dan G. that I accept prophecy and Godly teachings after the Bible, from real prophets, not perverted catholic popes, bishops or priests.
I love the comedy – You were 'admiring' … a rendition of catholics worship of Mary. Hilariass!
It's your cherished idolatrous painting of Christ's huge cross, so it must represent the horrific huge sins of your church. Why always Christ crucified or as a baby? Images you think won't judge your church. And why even use a triangle at all, when it can be seen as an Egyptian pyramid? I guess the same reason that the Vatican Museums display replicas of black Etruscan statues of simular idolaters and temple worshipers like themselves.
Maybe you should research "Crowning of Our Lady" to see she is standing on the head of a little boy. Maybe your Queen is capable of crushing heads of Jesus or little boys. And why does catholic clergy say, "Mary crushes the head of the serpent"? They don't mention God at all.
Why don't you look up the "complete and accurate" quote, like I do to research all your catholic nonsense. Forgot you're not too good at reading comprehension or at doing your own research.
Dan,
My apologies about your friend. I assumed she was a "he", for some reasons. No matter, keep praying for her and your good health.
Regarding "LLC, I answered to your stuff below this comment" = nope, you haven’t. Ranting does not equate to answering. Not only you do not have any answer to the biblical basis for the depiction of Mary as Queen of Heaven or why she is depicting as crushing the serpent’s head, or for the Holy Trinity; you are not even able to provide a decent source for your own allegations. Nothing new here, again.
One note to your comment on Dan G’s post: “I do like the catholic bible for the Apocrypha” = you, as the majority of Protestants do, are confusing Deuterocanonical and Apocrypha books. They are, my friend, quite different. So, when you say “I have absolutely no desire to read the Didache describing your mass”, you are referring to an Apocrypha. When we quote Maccabees, we refer to a Deuterocanonical book. Therefore, your “like I do to research” can be gladly disregarded for what it is in reality: an absolute and complete lie.
Now, if you do not have anything pertinent to add concerning the topic of this post, farewell, my illiterate non-Christian brother.
No apology to my friend necessary. Honest mistake. Probably spoke more about her during publiars reign. Just like my not knowing Apocrypha books, doesn't mean I haven't researched the catholic stuff you guys have quoted. I read them all years ago and tend to stick with rereading ones that stood out to me; Judith, Sirach, Letter of Jeremiah, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon and 1,2 Esdras. Never paid much attention to which ones officially belonged to which. The content mattered, not the nitpicky stuff you guys care so much about. And I didn't need or want to read the Didache. Just quoted what Dan G. put up. That was plenty enough for me. I think the book just plagiarized Biblical truth and I don't need that.
1) Mary as Queen of Heaven – Told you how many times that the goddess referred to as the Queen of Heaven in Jer. 44 was a bad idol they worshiped and Mary rates no better as a catholic idol you guys worship.
2) I pointed out how catholic versions of the Bible's Gen. 3:15 says, THEY crush the head of the serpent. Catholic clergy and lay have stated SHE crushes the head of the serpent, with no mention of God or Christ. You really do have a serious reading comprehension problem.
3) Holy Trinity – Said enough in regards to that. Can't force you to understand the lack in your Biblical argument, when you have no proof of your convictions. Just make up stuff to your liking, just like your blind leaders.
4) Quit trying to peg me as the liar in this forum when all you Cathys take the cake.
And thanks again for your kind exit words. NOT! Why do you clowns think you've acted like you're the Christians. NOT!
Dan,
“Never paid much attention to which ones officially belonged to which” = therefore, how do you know which ones are inspired?
“Told you how many times that the goddess referred to as the Queen of Heaven in Jer. 44 was a bad idol they worshiped and Mary rates no better as a catholic idol you guys worship” = and similarly, you’ve been told that a “bad idol” doesn’t mean that Mary cannot be the true Queen of Heaven. Regardless, I gave you the Bible foundation for Mary’s queenship, based on historical facts about Kingdoms of that part of the world, and on the Biblical fact that she is the mother of the King of Heaven, Jesus.
“pointed out how catholic versions of the Bible's Gen. 3:15 says, THEY crush the head of the serpent. Catholic clergy and lay have stated SHE crushes the head of the serpent, with no mention of God or Christ” = I did not use Genesis as the Biblical basis for Mary’s depiction as crushing the serpent’s head. Incidentally, the different translation of Genesis 3:15 in some Bibles has historical and theological basis. Now, since you do not care about the “nitpicky stuff you guys care so much about”, how do you know which version is correct?
“Holy Trinity – Said enough in regards to that” = actually, you’ve said nothing pertinent, nor Biblically based. Especially pathetic is your “Christians accept mother of Jesus and mother of the Lord, never Mother of God”, which has no basis anywhere in Scripture.
Now, since you choose not to engage in the actual topic of this post, I bid you farewell, with one parting warning. If your friend accepts your same beliefs, whatever they may be (she may not have a clue, just like you), then she is not a Christian, no more than you are. This doesn’t preclude God from using her to make His words known, since He can even make donkeys speak. Personally, I would be very wary of her supposed “prophecies”; they are probably directed more to your and herself.
Have a blessed week, non-Christian brother.
The answer to all your "how do you know" questions, including how I know my friends "prophecies" are the real deal, is because they are Spiritually known and the very reason why you don't know just about anything Spiritual, because: "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." 1 Cor 2:14
Maybe you can pass that knowledge on to the rest of the Mary worshiping idolaters, that it is not their fault that they don't understand my beliefs, because they are only Spiritually discerned and understood. While were on the subject, I could have sworn you were the jackass God spoke through, but that would be impossible that He would speak through idol-worshiping heathen hypocrites. Pardon my misinterpretation. servant of Christ
P.S. Mary will never ever qualify as the Mother of God and "Trinity" can never be "Biblically based", because it is not Biblical. Now see, I answered all your ignorant unbiblical questions. Would all you Cathys stop accusing me of not answering your questions. Now that you've learned something today, you should now understand that I refuse to answer to unspiritual nonsense. Yes, That includes your nonsense also, Dan G..
P.S.S. "Especially pathetic is your" claim that "mother of Jesus and mother of the Lord" has no basis anywhere in Scripture". You are especially pathetic.
Dan It is painfully clear that you are uneducated and on top of that willfully ignorant. To accept the "prophecies" of as you say, a semi quadripalegic is well, I don't know what to say. I can only hope that someday the scales will fall from your eyes and you see the True Light found only in the Catholic Church. By the way, you never answered my questions just made the same redundant accusations and insults. Go figure….
I would rather be an "uneducated" Christian and only wish I was totally "ignorant" of the disgusting works of your filthy clergy, than a brainwashed catholic heathen, drinking in all the false teachings of a morally corrupt religion, led and built by one bunch of pompous clowns and fools. Try to take a serious look at all their diverse Satain Halloween costumes. No Satain is not misspelling. Servant of One Wise Creator, making wise the uneducated and ignorant.
My friend, being a Christian lady, says God her Father would not like her to say what she is thinking. She adds, "You don't even know her, so maybe you should keep your mouth shut.
In my opinion, it wasn't at all necessary to bring her into this argument, Dan G. I used to post some of her prophesies for publiar to mock, but God found you Cathys unworthy to hear His Wisdom for quite some time now. You can resarch that truth, PC.
Dan – OK, I will ! PAX to you! Have a blessed week! – PC
Dan – 1/24/20, 8:38 pm : "the disgusting works of your filthy clergy". Gee, didn't you ever hear of St. Damian of Molokai? He was a priest that helped and nurtured the lepers in hawaii , when no one wanted to go near them. He eventually contracted leprosy, Hanson's disease, also, yet still stayed. Would you ever do such an act? I don't think I would. Doesn't sound like a " disgusting works" to me. – PC
No, I don't believe I would either. God sent me to try to convince the lost and bring them to know His Truth. He hasn't yet changed His plans for me.
My only other thought would be seeing how catholics are so easily deceived by who really is worthy of sainthood, my hope would be that he received as much praise from God as he did and does from catholics. Same with catholic blind praise of Mother Teresa, when there is much question of her tactics, rubbing elbows with some questionable leaders and not necessarily spending the millions she fund raised on the poor she was supposedly helping. Thankfully God will be just and fair, and in the end only He decides who really are His saints and chosen. Surely not your church. Servant willing to allow God to be God and He be our only judge.
P.S. Another, for instance, catholics think JP ll deserved sainthood and call him great, but I only see him as a charismatic leader who failed to reign in the child molesters of his cult and was possibly also guilty of harboring those same criminals, just like Francis.
Dan the Fundy is a bitter ex-Christian.
Dan, the Funded by God, is an gladly ex-catholic and truely all-Christian. Try to get that straight.
Dan, I along with others have stated our case complete with biblical references and the testimony of the Early Fathers many of whom were martryed for the faith and from whose blood fertilized the Church. You mock them and all the holy martyrs who believed what we believe more than 2,000 years later. With that I will no longer indulge your ego because that is tantamount to throwing pearls to swine of who you are the greatest. I hope you find true peace in your restless soul.
For all you Cathys,
None so blind as those who refuse to see, none so deaf as those who close their ears to the Truth, none so lame as those who refuse to walk away from a corrupt religion and none so broke as those who have bought into worthless teachings. Otherwise they might turn to God and be healed and freed from their self-imposed darkness. servant
