“calling for a need to recover the Catholic worldview and foundation for civilization.”
Lol.
I don’t know a single Bible-believing, God-fearing Protestant or evangelical who wants to embrace the Roman church and its doctrines of salvation by works, co-redemptrix Mary, infallibility of a Pope, gay clergy, liberation theology etc. That’s not to say that we non-Catholic Christians don’t have our own issues. The mainline Protestant churches often abandon Gospel. And there is plenty of antinomianism and seeker sensitivity trash on the evangelical side. But...as to real principled moral leadership, I know of very few Catholics who exhibit this. And I can speak from a position of experience, having married (then divorced) a Catholic and survived the duplicity, narcissism and frank dishonesty of fake pious Catholic ex-inlaws who wanted to deprive me the right to be a father to my offspring.
Why is it Catholics are so obsessed with bringing Christians to the Roman church? Focus on cleaning up the priest pedophilia, socialism, support for illegal immigration and other garbage would be more fruitful for you.
No offense intended to decent individual Catholic fellow freepers.
Deleting 16 Centuries of Christian history and tradition from your spiritual consciousness is not what Martin Luther or John Calvin had in mind. Your loss.
There is far more to Catholicism than its ongoing scandals and sins. And there is far more harm that Protestant extremes have wrought to the modern mind and to modern society than you may be willing to acknowledge.
Recovering what was good and true about the past rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater may prove to be a blessing and enrich your personal walk with the LORD this side of eternity. Why let self-righteousness blind you to Pharisee-like proportions?
Be blessed and Happy New Year.
