Catholics, as brothers and sisters in one religion,why do you kill each other?

Thanks for making a solid point and baking it up with a specific example. You've really convinced me that me and my fellow Catholics commit terrible crimes on a regular basis.

This sounds to me like you are attempting to pass judgement on the entire Catholic Church by zeroing in on a relative few morally corrupted Church members.

Common sense alone dictates that merely being Catholic does not guarantee moral perfection:

Controversies in the Church

Matt. 13:24-30 - scandals have always existed in the Church, just as they have existed outside of the Church. This should not cause us to lose hope in the Church. God's mysterious plan requires the wheat and the weeds to be side by side in the Church until the end of time.

Matt. 13:47-50 - God's plan is that the Church (the kingdom of heaven) is a net which catches fish of every kind, good and bad. God revealed this to us so that we will not get discouraged by the sinfulness of the Church’s members.

Matt. 16:18 - no matter how sinful its members conduct themselves, Jesus promised that the gates of death will never prevail against the Church.

Matt. 23:2-3 - the Jewish people would have always understood the difference between a person's sinfulness and his teaching authority. We see that the sinfulness of the Pharisees does not minimize their teaching authority. They occupy the "cathedra" of Moses.

Matt. 26:70-72; Mark 14:68-70; Luke 22:57; John 18:25-27 - Peter denied Christ three times, yet he was chosen to be the leader of the Church, and taught and wrote infallibly.

Mark 14:45 - Judas was unfaithful by betraying Jesus. But his apostolic office was preserved and this did not weaken the Church.

Mark 14:50 - all of Jesus' apostles were unfaithful by abandoning Him in the garden of Gethsemane, yet they are the foundation of the Church.

John 20:24-25 - Thomas the apostle was unfaithful by refusing to believe in Jesus' resurrection, yet he taught infallibly in India.

Rom. 3:3-4 - unfaithful members do not nullify the faithfulness of God and the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church.

Eph. 5:25-27 - just as Jesus Christ has both a human and a divine nature, the Church, His Bride, is also both human and divine. It is the holy and spotless bride of Christ, with sinful human members.

1 Tim. 5:19 - Paul acknowledges Church elders might be unfaithful. The Church, not rebellion and schism, deals with these matters.

2 Tim. 2:13 - if we remain faithless, God remains faithful for He cannot deny Himself.

2 Tim. 2:20 - a great house has not only gold and silver, but also wood and earthenware, some for noble use, some for ignoble use.

Jer. 24:1-10 - God's plan includes both good and bad figs. The good figs will be rewarded, and the bad figs will be discarded.

1 Kings 6,7,8 - the Lord commands us to build elaborate places of worship. Some non-Catholics think that this is controversial and the money should be given to the poor, even though no organization does more for the poor of the world that the Catholic Church. We create our churches with beauty because Christ our King lives in the churches in the blessed Eucharist.

Matt. 26:8-9; Mark 14:4-5; John 12:5 - negative comments concerning the beauty of the Church are like the disciples complaining about the woman anointing Jesus' head with costly oil. Jesus desires that we honor Him with our best gifts, not for Him, but for us, so that we realize He is God and we are His creatures.

Matt. 26:10-11 - Jesus says we have both a duty to honor God and give to the poor - a balanced life of reverence and charity.

Go back and study your Tudor history. Generally, it was Catholics killing Protestants and, in the Crusades, Muslims. During the Spanish Inquisition, the primary goal was to root out conversos and morriscos who were accused of remaining true to their original faiths. That was not the real reason; prejudice was the real reason.

On the other hand, Protestants killed Protestants during the Salem witch trials.

The point I'm trying to make is, people of all religions kill people of all other religions, including their own. No religion can claim total innocence, except perhaps for Baha'i's and Jainists.

I don't understand the logic or facts behind your question.

Murder and rape and other crimes do not discriminate based on religion and are found among all peoples and cultures.

Catholics are sinners like everyone else and just as much in need of God's grace and forgiveness.

The Catholic faith is the Church founded by Christ but composed of fallible human beings. Please pray for us as we pray for other Christians and non-believers.

Pax Vobiscum+

Most killings, generally, are committed by someone known to the victim. If one knows Baptists, one will likely be killed by a Baptist.

I think your statement is either a result of poor research or deliberate deception. In either case, it cannot lead to a logical train of thought.

why do you insist on attacking Catholicism?? if you are truely a follower of God, then you are a brother to all Christians, including Catholics. if you have questions go ask a priest.

it is great which you probably did this. i'm no longer so specific in spite of if it is easily names that we are referred to as, greater so techniques and techniques. working example, clergymen are referred to as pedophiles, we worship Mary and the Pope, we at the instant are not Christians, we are cannibals, we pray to saints, cultists, satanists, and of direction, the whore of Babylon. those impolite, smug and infantile feedback gets them no the place- so I fail to work out the element for why human beings call us those names. Even after answer after answer pointing out that we don't worship Mary, they nevertheless flow on pointing out that we do, like they have some divine reason to have faith that. they are in simple terms misinformed- and it is by us Catholics to set those questions right now. Ever be conscious while a Protestant asks a question concerning the Catholic church, many Catholics answer thorough and particular solutions, the nicely suited answer- however the Protestant nevertheless alternatives yet another Protestant answer by using fact the terrific answer? i think of it is hassle-free insecurities. all of us comprehend that none of those names or claims are authentic, and that i've got faith that searching for the nicely suited solutions from fellow Catholics right here in R&S will purely make us enhanced. Protestants are lacking lots- they do no longer seem to be purely lacking the easily physique and Blood of Christ, they are lacking lots greater, God's authentic presence. forget approximately concerning the assaults, by using fact it is purely blatant lies.

Real Christians do not kill each other.

1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

In World War I and II, Christians of all denominations, including Protestants, were killing each other. Explain that one, whitey.

My family has been Catholic for at least 6 generations and no one has every killed anyone.

Please.....before you make these ridiculous statements.....read a book.
