Why would catholic priest get upset when people questioned the catholic chruch?

[Alwayreckles93]

My grandmother ask me to join herto mass. I didn't want to be rude much less hurt her feelings so I went. To be honest it felt so awkward and weird after a decade not going to catholic chruch. Mind you my grandmother has hopes of me joining and coming back to catholic religion but thats not going to happen. So my grandmother told me to speak with the church leader my grandma calls priest father which is weird. The pruest got annoying because I called him Sir instead of Priest whatever. So I bought my bie with me and had a small debate with this priest individual. So this priest tells me that the catholic church is the only and truth church and all catholics are going to heaven while other none catholic people are going straight to hell. I ask the priest to show me with bible scriptures. Then I ask well if Jesus was born in Jerusalem you catholics claim Jesus established the catholic church how on earth did the vatican ended up in Italy when Jesus wasn't even born in Italy? no answer Why isn't Jerusalem the catholic capital if it was Jesus church? No answer few secounds later priest tells me well people travel from Jerusalem to Italy back them. I told the priest but people didn't even had airplanes back in the day how did they travel? Priest got so red angry and annoyed and yelled you ask way to many questions shame on you. Your going to hell. I respond I tough only God can judge me and make that decision for me. Priest got upset andntold me it's a sin to be questioning the catholic church shame on you. Wow so now it's wrong to ask questions. In my brain this men lost his marbles.

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but that is not true. What he said. Baptist people Lutheran people Presbyterian people Christian people go to heaven if you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior and you believe that he died on the cross to save you from your sons. I don’t know why he would tell you something like that that doesn’t make any sense. You need to explain this to your grandmother. Do you think the Reverend Billy Graham is in hell I don’t think so and he’s not Catholic. He’s a southern Baptist minister

[Iron_Man]

And of course saved Catholics go to heaven

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes I did Sir. I read scripture to my grandmother. My grandmatjer told me only priest has the power toforgive sins that I should confess to priest. I told my grandma he is a han just like you and I but my grandma was not having it and says he repricents Jesus. Which is wrong.

[Iron_Man]

Jesus is the one that can forgive sins not mankind follow the believes that you’ve already read

[Alwayreckles93]

Thank you. I will 👍 Yes Jesus is the only way to our salvation. Amen🙏❤️

Things that never happened for $500 Alex... Every Catholic Priest Isaiah 1:18.

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Even when the Lord condemns Israel, he calls on us to use our mental abilities to come to a rational understanding and see that he is right. It's a core doctrine of the faith to question and use logic to understand scripture and it is the obligation of the clergy to be patient and explain it...

* Every Catholic Priest knows Isaiah 1:18.

An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason. -Jon Meacham

Sounds like he's a hardliner. Going to mass doesn't make you a Christian any more than sleeping in a garage makes you a car.

One body, many parts. It sounds like you were talking to the ass...

[Alwayreckles93]

I am not a catholic. I only went to please my grandma just his only one time. I have enough evidence the catholic chruch is a false religion. It destroyed families.

[DJB72]

I've been a Christian almost 40 years. In that time I've known members and priests of many denominational backgrounds - including Roman Catholic.

The Christians among them without exception put emphasis on the personal relationship with God through Jesus. I knew one Catholic priest who was threatened with excommunication for refusing to advise his confessionals to say a "Hail Mary", and an Anglican vicar who taught me how a Rosary prayer can draw you closer to Christ.

No denomination has all the answers. Any that claim they do are deceived - often wilfully.

I know marriages and families drawn back from the edge of tearing apart by joining a Catholic church and I've seen Pentecostal churches rip marriages apart.

There's heretical doctrines in every denomination. That's because God made The Church and Mankind made the denominations.

Do you have a question or is this just a rant?

Why would an Imam get upset when people questioned Islam?

[DrPepper12]

He's in too deep and is in a cult. Prob a misogynist too based on reaction. I'm glad you stick to your guns! Bravo!!

[Med_guy1978]

He shouldn't get upset, we all question things and I guess it's up to him to explain as best he can.

[strateguy632]

because you were mocking not asking

[Alwayreckles93]

I wouldn't consider that mocking I was only asking questions.
