Too long to read it all, but as a non-catholic, it was like trying to read about the political soap opera going on in the engineering department at Boeing after getting a new VP.
But the title is awesome!
Not sure whether the Muzzies or the Pope is the greatest enemy of the Catholic Church.
The RCC FAQ is but another, and thinly disguised, weapon against Protestantism in Rome’s long war against them.
The author seems to be dismissive at best and flippant at worst concerning Trent. First, if it weren’t for the Reformation in general and Luther in particular, Trent would never have been called, and the corruption in the church that led to the Reformation would not have been cleansed. Second, the Council of Trent led to the greatest expansion of world-wide evangelism the church had seen to date, and while part of that was on the backs of the European explorers who “discovered” the Western Hemisphere and sea routes to south and east Asia, it was also a reaction to the explosion of Protestant missionary work.
In short, Trent established the one most powerful human-based motivation available, in the service of presenting the gospel to the whole world: competition. Xavier got to India, China, and Japan, and the Benedictines got to the Philippines, in large part because they wanted to spread the Catholic version of the gospel before the Lutheran or Calvinist versions of the gospel got there, which is a Philippians 1 situation: whatever the motivation, the gospel was preached, and in that we should rejoice.
Well, at least I learned that we Protestants have a pope and that his name is Benny Hinn. Did not know that.
Contrary to all of the critical comments above, I thought it was very informative, and explained the situation very well.
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”—2 Cor. 11:3
Zmirak makes some surprising blunders.
There have been far more than two, or eight, examples of “infallibility”! Zmirak meant examples of papal infallibility exercised alone.
And the Ordinary Magisterium is infallible.
Funny that such a Q & A would include this. How many Catholics actually believe any of these to be literally true? I'd say less than 5%.
