Yes that was an outstanding post at 91. Truly one of the best I’ve read; like a blazing star in the midst of darkness. If I had any doubt he’s a priest it’s removed now. No one could write such a defense of (truly a promotion of) the Catholic Church and be lying about being a priest. It would be foolish to believe otherwise. Foolish and unreasonable.
I will keep you in prayer Father as I pray for all priests.
So you all actually believe the assortment of ill-conceived allegations expressed in that reply?
Other than the second sentence there (which appears true enough -- no real problem) the remainder of the wall-to-wall accusations are one unjustified attributing-of-motives and false accusation (when applied to "all" so-called Protestants) after another.
The indiscriminate nature of those comments, is a veritable grab-bag of self-justification for Roman Catholic hatreds and bitterness -- of virtually all Christians whom are not of the Church of Rome, yet inclusive also of Christians whom are born of Him, lumping all of the latter in with luke-warmish sorts who approach Christianity from a purely mental (fleshly mind) understanding.
Despite the lukewarmness (towards God) of seemingly many(?), there is likely a remnant of sorts within congregations of even the most liberal sort --- a remnant of those whom do worship God in spirit and in truth, although ultimately that must be left up to Christ Himself to determine, for there truly is none other who can open the scrolls...
Speaking of "veneration of saints", even there, among the "liberal" types, can be those whom venerate human beings, more so than they venerate (and further-- worship) God Almighty.
In that they may share a thing or two with *some* Catholics who are the fearful sort ---- whom will not approach the throne of Grace boldly, and prefer rather to have their own sinful natures remain hidden from themselves (as much as possible) slathering religiosity over that, the better to remain in darkness and semi-darkness, wherein they need not confront their own inward wretchedness.
The writer has no real clue about what *Protestantism* really believes, or Christians for that matter.
There was so much error in post 91 that it’s hard to know where to start in refuting it.
If that sounds as a blazing star in Catholic thinking, Catholics are in worse shape than I realized.
