And so it ever goes. Christians point Romanists to Christ, and God's Word, and Romanists become apoplectic.

The thought of trusting Christ to save you infuriates you, the thought of accepting God's Word as sufficient enrages you -- and you feel okay about that.

You'll just have to excuse Christians for not feeling okay about it, and for praying for your soul while there's hope, regardless.

I am a Christian, not a "Romanist." And I am proud to belong to the same Christian church that produced men and women of the caliber of Francis of Assisi, Vincent de Paul, Isaac Jogues, Katherine Drexel, Maksymilian Kolbe, Mother Teresa, and John Paul II, and countless others like them.

Actually, no. I've been trusting Christ for a long time now.

Please spare me your phony prayers. When I need someone to pray for me, I'll ask my friends to do it, both the ones on this earth and the ones I mentioned in my first paragraph above.

Too bad you weren't around to "save" the author of your favorite book or the director of one of your favorite movies or its star. Sadly, JRR Tolkien and John Ford were staunch "Romanists," and even John Wayne died a "Romanist."

And Tolkien was such an obstinate "Romanist." I'd say that one-quarter or one third of his published letters concern theology, all of that horrible "Romanist" variety. And he felt that "Lord of the Rings" was a profoundly "Romanist" work, as he wrote to his Jesuit friend Fr. Murray. Such a tragedy that you weren't around to straighten out the old fool.
