Wertz also stood by Salazar's indictment of Mohler.

"Dr. Mohler's comment, 'I believe that the Roman church is a false church, and believes in a false Gospel,' that's going against — that threatens (Sen. Salazar's) freedom to worship," he said.

Even though Dr. Mohler is a dumbass of the first water, I don't see how his silly opinions threaten Senator Salazar's freedom to pretend to worship in a Church whose moral doctrine he rejects.

It doesn't.

As to Dr. Mohler, I'm not of his denomination, just try to imagine your response to a poster here on FR who claims your pope is a "dumbass." If you can't imagine that you would react with vitriol, I'd say you're in denial.

It looks to me like a lot was left out of the Mohler comment. You can't really judge his opinion on that quote. And what about the dash and then the ending? Is there a section left out? The statement as quoted doesn't really make sense.

What does a Catholic think the future holds, theologically speaking, for a Southern Baptist like myself? I find what they think interesting, but I am not offended by it in the least. I am secure enough in my beliefs to be completely unbothered by that. But on issues of morals and politics some of my very favorite people -- the ones I admire the most -- are Catholic. Some Jewish. And others. What they believe about my eternal soul is irrelevant. I don't care.

Is it safe to assume that you hold the same opinion of the current Pope? "He offended members of other faiths in 2000 when he signed a document which argued: "Only in the Catholic Church is there eternal salvation." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?c_id=500818&ObjectID=10121456

"Even though Dr. Mohler is a dumbass of the first water, I don't see how his silly opinions threaten Senator Salazar's freedom to pretend to worship in a Church whose moral doctrine he rejects."

And Dr. Mohler would be a "dumbass" for why? Because he stated the obvious and well known difference between Catholicism and Protestantism? Give me a break.
