    just looking at the inner values and beliefs of them I guess.

    Catholicism stood out because God is all loving, and forgiving, and due to multiple miracles in my life and actual scientific evidence of miracles and proof

      just looking at the inner values and beliefs of them I guess.

      Do you have any specific examples of values and beliefs that you liked better than any of the other religions or christian denominations?

      Catholicism stood out because God is all loving, and forgiving

      My protestant church said that too, and emphasized Jesus’s forgiveness.

      and actual scientific evidence of miracles and proof

      Could you share those? I’ve never seen any scientific evidence of miracles despite looking for it.

          Ah… I’m sorry, but neither of those events would stand as proof in a scientific context.

          In the first case, medical oddities occur quite frequently, and it’s not unlikely that patient had an unusual form of cancer that was particularly receptive to the more primitive treatment at the time. I would not classify an unusual experience as a miracle, personally. I have seen many similar stories and claims from the alternative cancer cure community, all of which I have found to be grifting, yet to those less skeptical, seem quite convincing.

          The second case is extremely dubious, as it is purely hearsay that the flesh suddenly appeared, and it would be quite easy to simply place the supposed flesh photographed and claim it morphed there naturally. Church officials are not immune to lying, corruption, or deceit as history shows, so without an unrelated 3rd party having been present and verifying in real-time, to me it seems clear that it’s a stunt, as the evidence is about as convincing or trustworthy as the Loch Ness monster photograph.

            the matter was tested, and it was heart tissue that had the WBCs alive, they usually die 2 hours after being removed from the body.

          I see. How how did you determine that the Protestant’s reasons for removing those books was illegitimate (as far as I can tell, they claim that the 6 additional books were not included in the original Hebrew canon, essentially saying that the catholic additions were not inspired works, and that they are closer to a more pure, unadulterated Bible), also how did Eastern Orthodoxy fare in the overall assessment?

          Did it concern you at all that Catholicism once burned people at the stake for translating the Bible into English (which in practice would lessen the power the priesthood had in disseminating the Bible)?

          Lastly, I’m quite curious how you then determined that an Abrahamic religion (Catholicism) was the only true religion, what set it apart from Taoism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc, as the only source of spiritual truth for you?

            removing ANY books from the Bible is illegitimate as stated so by Revelation. The original Bible was Catholic.

            Eastern Orthodoxy is way more complicated, I can say it was for theological reasons I did not go into it.

            The catholic emperor did that, not the Church and the Church does indeed have some bits of dark history.

            As I said, scientific proof instead of vibes, and God being all loving. Buddhism preaches works instead of faith, but we still have original sin.
