All of us believe that Jesus Christ is the true Savior; born of a virgin; crucified for our sins; and rose from the dead.

To which the Roman Catholic has added a whole bunch of other things you MUST believe.

Accepting Christ is the absolute directive to get into Heaven.

Per some Roman Catholic writers, though not supported by the New Testament, one must accept Mary before one can accept Christ.

I have no problem with Catholics what-so-ever.

You might want to do a bunch more homework. Much of what is required in Roman Catholicism is not supported by the New Testament.

"Roman Catholic writers" don't define dogma for the Church, though, do they?

We can all learn.
G-d is the Judge.
We all could be in for some surprises

The differences between the Tares and the Wheat are becoming more and more obvious.

I just glanced at this thread when it was beginning last night a bit before your first post.

The Pope steps in it yet again. There are “charitable” ways to interpret his words but clumsily phrased conciliatory platitudes that gloss over truth and error are, even at the best of times, painful for me to hear, and they grate when they come forth from the Holy Father.

I’d love to see the two of you meet and chat. Whatever your faults, and what I perceive as misconceptions, you are more zealous for what you perceive as truth than a whole lot of other people, and perhaps some of that could rub off on the Holy Father.

While it is good to see your (bitter?) zeal, I’ll mostly stick to caucus threads—and this thread reminds me why.

Prayers up for you and yours.
