Get back to me when some Catholics come to your church and try to force you to believe what we believe.
Because, of course, NO Catholic has ever done that, right? I'm glad we aren't living in the middle ages when that was EXACTLY what Catholics did. But, putting that aside, this thread was opened by a Catholic to mock and belittle those who preach we CAN know we are saved. Should nobody be allowed to rebut that assertion? Should we just shut up and let people say whatever they want about our faith and not have a chance to speak what we believe is the truth?
Did anyone FORCE you to read this thread?
And what Protestants are coming to the Catholic church trying to force Catholics what to believe
Does Catholics telling me I'm going to hell for not being Catholic, or the Catholic church telling me I'm going to hell for not being Catholic count?
Because that's what happens in real life and here on FR, and that's what the church teaches.
The only reason people aren't being forced to convert at the point of the sword, or under threat of torture and fire, is that the Catholic church has lost its political power to people who finally had the wherewithal to stand up to it.
But that hasn't prevented the church from anathema-ing those who disagree with it.
Ha ha!
Catholics on FR are continually crowing about the uniqueness of there church and how you'd BETTER join it or else you'll lose out!
No force at all; it it!
