Thought doxing and so on was Forbidden by the Rules.

Yeah, I got banned from a trad forum, mainly for Criticizing Sede-Vacantism. I doubt most Atheists know what that is, so I won't go into it here.

Now, in the other thread, I read and shared a source that there are something like - what was it - 170 MN or so - Atheists in the world, far less than I thought. In light of that, I need to update/revise some of my projections/predictions for World Religious Demographics 2050 that I made on the First Page.

Let me get the data and then do that.

Fuxxake - even I didn't get banned from SD, I just got bored and forgot the user name and password I had for there.

Me and Girly did get banned in The Great Banning. 
Added : Interesting though ... in their banned list are all kinds of names that you might remember of those core members of that site.
who were the believers. It surprised me.

Fair enough, AWTY. Thank you.

If so, I'll just share the Theological Refutation of SVism I wrote. Warning: Highly Technical Theological Arguments. From: https://onepeterfive.com/sedevacantists-...hout-pope/

Not to worry. 
"Highly Technical Theological Arguments" are just more irrelevant bullshit.
They're so impressed with themselves.

And this is the Article on Purgatory that my Priest-Friend commended. Purgatory is a forgotten Biblical and Patristic [taught by Church Fathers] Truth. I dare to hope that even 75-80% or more of Humanity could perhaps be saved in the end, yet many only as through fire, as St. Paul clearly says in 1 Cor 3:15. Negotiate and Bargain with God, dear Friends, and try to gain for yourselves the lightest sentence possible. Of course, if you receive Baptism, you become immaculate and worthy of going to Heaven immediately if you die. That's the wonder-working power of the Sacrament of Baptism. Now, if already Baptized, then Confession, Communion, Indlugences like Rosaries and Stations of the Cross will help. I have no other Motivation for Evangelism than Helping Souls.

When Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ instituted the Holy Mass as a perpetual sacrifice of His Body and His Blood for the remission of our sins (Mt. 26:26–28; Mk. 14:22–24; Lk. 22:19–20; 1 Cor. 10:16–18; etc.), it is clear that He intended in a special way that the New Testament Sacrifice of the Holy Mass be the perfect fulfilment of the Old Covenant sacrifices. Now, if even these were offered up for the remission of the sins of the faithful departed (2 Macc. 12:43–46) — for it is written,“And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection[.] … It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.” — it follows that Holy Mass is the greatest sacrifice to alleviate the terrifying sufferings of the faithful departed that God has ever given to man.

Since Protestants do not accept the Book of Maccabees (although they should; the 4th-century canons of Carthage, of Hippo, and the decrees of Pope St. Damasus’s Council of Rome all contain it as canonical), they often ask Catholics:“All right. Maccabees teaches Purgatory. But where is Purgatory in the New Testament? Wouldn’t Our Lord Jesus Christ or one of His apostles have mentioned it?”

The First Proof: Direct Proof from 1 Corinthians 3:13–15

Chapter 3 of St. Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians is perhaps the most direct proof in Sacred Scripture of purgatorial fire and merits. According to Catholic doctrine, bad works are penalized by God; bad Christians, whose works are burned up, will therefore suffer loss and be saved only through fire. This is Purgatory and their bad works or sins are why Purgatory is necessary. This doctrine is plainly taught by St. Paul the Apostle.

"Every man’s work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."

Oops. Forgot the link for the above: https://onepeterfive.com/purgatory-saved-fire/

[Nishant Xavier]

One of the most cryptic statements of Jesus Christ in the Gospel, which many Protestant commentators labor greatly to understand is: “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home."

He was telling the people to have Sacrifices offered for their departed family and friends in the Temple, which is always possible. By doing this, there is hope some may be saved, at least in their last moments, and go at least to Purgatory instead of Hell. Yet, how much better to just receive Baptism, and then go to Heaven instead of Purgatory, by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ, and the Merit of the Savior's Blood conferred in Holy Baptism.

[Nishant Xavier]

Mother Mary gave a Marian Life Offering where She promised if even one member of a family, made that offering, no member of that family goes to Hell.

From: https://marianapostolate.com/life-offering/

"THE FIVE PROMISES OF OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER TO THOSE WHO OFFER THEIR LIVES TO HER

None of their family members will go to hell, even if it seems otherwise, because they will receive, in the depths of their souls, the grace of sincere contrition before the soul departs from their bodies."

God absolutely still does want to save as high a % of mankind as possible, but He also requires of us some free-will co-operation and efforts to do so.

Total BULLSHIT. Your problem is that you can't keep to the subject. No one here cares what a priest says. We get you can't think for yourself. 
THE PROBLEM is that your cult invokes TIME in a timeless environment. You can't GO somewhere unless there is the time to "go there". 
It's a temporal-spatial concept in a spiritual environment. It's really very simple.  
It's NOT a "Biblical concept".
