St Thomas Aquinas said that God is not bound by the sacraments in conferring grace; they're just the ordinary means he's given to us. Was he a Protestant, too?

But He is bound to obey the command of a priest to be loved into a cracker until it is eaten..

Sounds to me that Catholic/Orthodox theology posits that Christ made a promise to do that. And once a promise is made, then it is kept. It would be part of the voluntary humility of the Lord.

As a Wascally Evangelical I assert this is misreading the intent, I think we’d both agree that this is out of character for Him, but by literal construals of certain passages it could be read that way.

What I’m wondering about is where the love is. It seems to me by observation that a good way to get Roman Catholics saying catty things about other Roman Catholics is to suggest that one should accommodate another one in love. If Christ really DOES do this, then they should be knocking each other out to get this Extra Special Eucharist to anyone who desires it in sincerity, and especially fellow Roman Catholics. Instead I hear things like “WHIIIIINER!”

I mean, knocking themselves out (not each other... which seems to sadly be the case now)

He’s bound by his own word to do what he said he would do. Do you think God doesn’t keep his promises?
