There is nothing controversial about that statement, except in the minds of superior-types who know it all.
Any "Christian" who doesn't believe what the Bible says is not actually Christian.
(Well; they COULD be; but merely DECEIVED in some area or another.)
But the church shows what she believes by her actions, and her actions reprove tradional type RCs who exclude those she treats as members. Ted Kennedy was your brother, and even received an apostolic blessing from the pope before his death, with no apparent censure at all. And an ecclesiastical funeral,.
"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." (James 2:18)
And good for them - they are one step out of bondage that is catholicism. So make sure the 'catholic control freaks' drop their mantra of..... 'once a catholic always a catholic'. You guys really need to get your '%*(^' together..... for catholicism makes their sheep speak with fork tongue as their master/the father of lies/liars - does.

The ones of superiority to catholics are popes because they are ill taught they are/were infallible. But even a priest is superior to the sheep as the sheep seek forgiveness of their sins from them. Catholics are one crazy misled bunch and they enjoy it and defend it!! They believe 'man' over GOD and they dare speak of controversial? LOL!! Now what really could go wrong for catholics as they embrace deceptive teaching from 'men'...let me count the ways.
