And in the meantime all of your Protestant churches are ordaining and marrying homosexuals - Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Lutherans, while you complain about the celibacy of Catholic Priests.

Which is a desperate specious and illogical fallacy, as it no only employs a broad use of the term "Protestant" which is akin to calling Hitler a "Christian" as many atheists do, to include those who are fundamentally contrary to what basically defined Protestantism, but you assert "all of your Protestant churches are ordaining and marrying homosexuals," which is false, as well as placing your church in that camp, not the ones i ID with.

And rather than being joined with them or Rome, those who hold most strongly to the primary Protestant distinctive, that of Scripture being the supreme standard as literally being the wholly inspired and assured word of God, have been and yet are the most conservative class of Christians (as if there could be another), far more than the fruit of Rome or Anglicans (at least in the West), as has been abundantly substantiated from numerous researchers.

You need to clean up your own house before you point fingers, son.

I am not your son, and at 62 i am more likely old enough to be your father, while it is thee who is playing church against church, yet the glass of your Anglican church is not one you want to throw stones from behind.

“I am not your son, and at 62 i am more likely old enough to be your father”

Don’t bet on it.

“Which is a desperate specious and illogical fallacy, as it no only employs a broad use of the term “Protestant” which is akin to calling Hitler a “Christian” as many atheists do, to include those who are fundamentally contrary to what basically defined Protestantism, but you assert “all of your Protestant churches are ordaining and marrying homosexuals,” which is false, as well as placing your church in that camp, not the ones i ID with.”

Ah, the “no true Scotsman” fallacy. John Calvin, you may have heard of him. A Protestant. John and Charles Wesley, you may have heard of them. They are generally thought of as Protestants, as is Henry and his reformed Catholic church. I’ll let you figure out what those guys have to do with the churches I mentioned.

And I don’t defend the Anglican church, that’s the difference between you and me. I am a Christian in the Anglican tradition. This is not my club against yours, we are all supposed to be Christians. But you can’t hate your brother and say you love God.
