Let's start our theses here and nail it to the door of the Vatican, virtually speaking, of course. I am fairly sure the Pope's personal army of mercenaries would beat you senselessly for even trying to put of a piece of parchment on St. Peter's.
First and foremost. Their worst crime is not making us in charge and moving the Vatican to Iowa.
Stop the idolatry. Destroy all those frescoes, medieval and renaissance depictions of Jesus and God. The only acceptable depiction of Jesus should be in The Passion of the Christ. For good measure, we should destroy all images of Mary too, because that leads to
The polytheism. We have 10,000 demigods, also known as Saints. And there's the Mary Worship. They pray to Jesus' mother. That is simply wrong and must be stopped.
Lack of adherence to scripture. Works based salvation, confession to priests, calling priests "father". To purify Christianity, we must
Allow for clergy members to marry. You will see the pedophilia problems disappear nearly overnight, as family men will go into the priesthood, instead of boy fiddlers.
I understand the controversy of allowing priests to marry. It leads to nepotism and dynasties.
Maybe make the children ineligible to serve past the parish level.
Or require that anyone who becomes higher than bishop to become a eunuch and have no children (Matthew 19:12), so they don't sodomize prepubescent boys anymore? This is a difficult question, so I leave it open to the floor to figure out this issue.
What are our other major problems with the Unholy See?
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Something will have to be done about the Pope. We've been hanging him in effigy for at least the last 200 years. If the Romans want to surrender, they are going to have to get on board. If they aren't willing to hang him from the Vatican walls, they ought to at least meet us halfway and hang him in effigy in every papist church in the world.

The Catholics need to acknowledge Jesus! For God's sake, they still think that Salvation is possible without Christ our Lord! Here's paragraph 841 of their Unholy Book, the Catechism:
Quote:
"The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
The Catholics (based on the above debauchery) need to acknowledge the Bible, as the above passage (sweet Jesus Christ!) is so easy to falsify with a simple verse.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I can see no chance for reconciliation unless they utterly destroy all paper, vellum, papyristic, and digital copies of this document (the Catechism), apologize to our Pastors and God and employ some heavy methods of Repentance (Jonah 3:5).
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

That whole infallibility thing. Only the Holy Bible is infallible!
The first step in acknowledging that popes are not, in fact, infallible, would be denouncing all of the stupid things the last few popes did, like pope Francis saying that atheists can go to heaven ( John 3:18) and pope John Paul II asking for forgiveness for smoking Galileo Galilei (an unsaved trash who preferred to believe in "empirical data" rather than the Word of God) and for "oppressing" colored sinners (who were destined to Hell one way or another).
Publishing an official list of all statements of all popes which are in contradiction to one another would have to be part of that process, too!

Catholics have done some very strenuous and unconvincing theology in an effort to make sense of how they can really eat the body of Jesus, not mere crackers enrobed in metaphor, and really drink his blood without, in fact, being a cult of crazy cannibals. Suffice it to say, however, that a world view in which “propitiatory sacrifices on behalf of the living and the dead” figure prominently is rather difficult to defend in the year 2017. But this has not stopped otherwise intelligent and well-intentioned people from defending it.
Even Mother Teresa, the most celebrated exponent of this dogmatism in a century, had her doubts all the while—about the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, about heaven, and even about the existence of God. Which you can read in her letters.

I want an investigation of the Catholic Sunday night Bingo games. I think they fix the odds so the Pope wins new robes every week.

They also need to do away with their Saturday afternoon services that were created so that the many drunkards in their flock could sleep it off on Sunday morning.

Use the KJV and stop basing doctrine on the "Deuterocanonical" (i.e., fake) books.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

When I saw the word "reconcile" it came to mind that Jesus has mercy and patience - especially with sinners like Doris Day. And while it brings forth the idea of diplomacy, on the other hand it smacks of "ecumenicism" and "compromise". You might as well say "Our list of demands for us to reconcile with Mooselimbs".
Over the centuries there have been many attempts to "reform" the cathylicks with little to show and, if anything, there have been many set backs and things keep getting worse - like the current "peoples pope".
Let's face it, the swamp needs to be drained. Jesus was not compromising, and neither should we. The cathylick church needs to be shut down and their assets turned over to the Landover Baptist Church.

Along with these numerous problems, which by themselves should be enough to send the whole of Catholics to Hell, there is the issue of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The famous painting depicting Adam and God actually shows god inside of a brain if you look closely enough, shown here-
If that's not sacrilege, I don't know what is. An image that implies God is all in our heads, right in the most famous chapel in the world!
Pope Francis has also said this about homosexuals, "If someone is gay and searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" While accepting God is a start, you must give up homosexuality as well. We all know this.
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination, their blood shall be upon them.
That's a pretty clear message. Get it together, Catholics!

While I couldn't agree more, Brother William, I am just wondering if the "assets" of the Papists are worth anything? Do they have an actual (preferably Swedish) bank account that has some $ or is most of their so-called wealth invested in useless paraphernalia that True Christians™ can only use for junkyard sales and that have little more than scrap metal value? Please, let me elaborate with some examples:
They have lots of paintings but very little art. Most of their visual stuff is of relatively low quality and hard to remove as it is realized as graffiti to cover their otherwise ugly walls of concrete. For instance, this picture is from the Sixteenth Chapel and the Papist painter has of course spoiled the Creation of Adam (Genesis 2:7) by inserting the gay subtext of God our Lord tickling the fingertip of the first man in the manner that the Papists apparently find seductive.
Sculpture fares only little better. Ladies, don't look below. Another (or the same, who cares!) Papist artisan has defiled Jesus our Lord by depicting Him naked including His nertherregions, as if Jesus as God (John 10:30) could not have been able to clothe Himself decently by supernatural Creation-of-garments-ex-nihilo immediately upon Resurrection. Or at least we should have the decency of not ogling His (obviously perfect; Matthew 5:48) private parts.
Well, I suppose that the buildings and the statues can be blown into pieces and used for President Trump's Wall.
Next, do they have gold? Actually, they seem to have!
But less than President Trump!
Still, perhaps the Papist gold is not irrevocably tainted with their many sins and it could be melted and recycled to furnish Trump's and Pastor Zeke's mansions and holiday resorts to reflect their position as the best friends of Jesus!
Finally, the Papist wardrobe! The most ridiculous collection of silly garments ever!
Don't they make paper out of rags? If they still do, we can collect all that debauchery and cook it into pulp and use if to printing more and more KJV Bibles. They could be sold to make more Bibles and Jesus would surely approve!
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
As we can see, it would also hasten the End of the World and the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:17) and we could get into Heaven a bit early! Perhaps there is some sense in acquiring the Papist assets, after all, Brother. I apologize for my doubts but I just had to make an unbiased assessment. I should have trusted your insights that obviously were inspired by Jesus Christ our Lord!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

If thw Catholic Church would use their money to build a big wall, maybe we can consider reconciliation.The wall could be located, I don't know, somewhere in the south of the US, maybe the border with Mexico. Now that's an idea, Caths, take it or leave.

Let's not be so hasty on this point. Think about how good we could look in red.
And look at the hand stitching on those arm doilies! That's quality workmanship. Maybe we can wear them while we're out soul saving at the gentlemens' club once we're in charge.
And as we all know, Pastor Zeke simply loves robes. He wears them all the time when I am over there. Kimonos mostly, but I think he would look fantastic all in white!

I agree!
He'd look so much better in pope's clothing than this pope:
They're not even in the same league, Zeke is SO much more handsome!

You make some excellent points Professor White, and some have said it's nearly impossible to estimate the net worth of the cathylick church. Certainly it would take years to conduct a thorough audit.
Up first would be the Vatican Bank (see below) - $8 billion in assets is nothing to sneeze at and is low hanging fruit.
Tourism is big and Vatican City could be turned into a Disney style theme park to get some immediate cash flow, along with renting out the Cistine Chapel for events.
The vast world wide holdings of churches, some of which could be sold for adaptive reuse, could also be used as lebensraum for a surge in conversion to the True Baptist religion - once the pope announces that the Catholic church has been a hoax for 2000 years and shuts it down.

The Vatican Bank has $8 billion in assets
The Vatican Bank, which has about $8 billion in assets, has often been at the center of scandal and corruption since it was founded in 1942. Pope Benedict began the process of cleaning the bank up, and Francis has continued that work.
Vatican Bank accounts are only supposed to be held by residents of Vatican City and church personnel. But according to Gerald Posner, a Vatican bank scholar and the author of "God's Bankers," these accounts were often awarded to powerful Italian officials looking to stash money without paying taxes.

A couple of things:
1. As I understand it, Christians here on this forum say that we are to take the Bible literally. If this is true, then we have the following verses from Holy Scripture: John 6:51
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.52At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53SoJesussaidto them,“Truly,truly,I tellyou,unlessyou eatthefleshanddrinkthebloodof theSonof Man,you havenolifeinyou. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.…"
And of course there is the Last Supper where Jesus says to do this in remembrance of Me.
2. If you are really the atheist Sam Harris, then of course, you would not take these passage literally. But being an atheist, you would reject almost all of the teachings of the Baptist Church and you would see the Bible as some sort of literary work.
3. Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox believe that these passages should be taken seriously. According to Catholic belief, the Resurrection is a major indication of the divine mission of Jesus.
