I do recommend strongly that you read a book called 'Cathedral and Crusade the chuch from 1050 to 1350 ' By Henri-Daniel Rops. He also wrote many books on church history.Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458504641419416339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-80809027095323627172008-10-16T11:09:00.000-06:002008-10-16T11:09:00.000-06:00LOL Swissy Thank you.

Thanks for your...Hi Charlotte, welcome to my blog. Thanks for your kind words. I used to work with a lady who was a Jehovah's Witness, but she never said much to me about religion even though she knew I was a Catholic. My cousin was married to a lady who was a JW, but they have since divorced. Not being a very good apologist, I have a hard time talking to these people. Heck, I even have a hard time talking to my Lutheran in-laws!swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-34549665410198343492008-10-15T16:04:00.000-06:002008-10-15T16:04:00.000-06:00Interesting that you chose to discuss this topic, ...Interesting that you chose to discuss this topic, thanks very much! I have Jehovah's Witnesses in my family, and within their "faith," they believe they are the only Christians, and that all the rest of us non-Witnesses (Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, etc.) are part of Christendom, which they believe is controlled by Satan. When I talk with them, I always have to be careful, since using either term in the "wrong way" always results in my being "corrected." Anyway, I like your explanations and I think they are valid ways to think about this topic.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978540582978450208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-32388787530503012702008-10-15T09:12:00.000-06:002008-10-15T09:12:00.000-06:00Sorry, I didn't explain it well since I didn't hav...Sorry, I didn't explain it well since I didn't have much time. The priest was making the point that Jesus came to begin His Kingdom, not to create a religion. Didn't mean to make it sound like the apostles are groupies...they are those who the King entrusted with His Kingdom, especially St. Peter who was given the keys and set up as the "Prime Minister" of the Kingdom. Sorry, wasn't clear!swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-32104108433100174372008-10-15T08:55:00.000-06:002008-10-15T08:55:00.000-06:00Sorry, I know I can be a potato head-especially at...Sorry, I know I can be a potato head-especially at thend end of a busy homeschool day-but I didn't get this?? Surely Jesus DID intend to establish 'Christianity' because He established the Church on Peter. So the 'groupies' were chosen and sent out.<BR/>Perhaps He never intended a political establishment-in the same way God never intended Isael to have a king; but I am confused about the idea He never intended Christianity.<BR/>I'll read it again later-perhaps it will be clearer.<BR/>God blessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
