“Catholicism is simply paganism with a veneer of Christianity on it.”
You know, you’re absolutely right. Let’s take the Cross of Salvation and use it as a club on other Christians.
I truly don’t understand why you and the like-minded need to bash other sects. If you are assured of your salvation, why not rejoice in that and pray for others “less enlightened” instead of engaging in the incessant attacks? How does tearing down all the good that has been achieved by Catholics over the centuries further the cause of Christ?
Is it the need to be right? Is it jealousy over the success of Catholicism? Is it insceurity in your own faith that drives you to try to discredit the faith of others?
You know, I confess that I should never have responded to Doc’s initial vilification of the Pope. What has followed, and I admit my part in it, is the basest manifestation of what must unfortunately be called Christianity.
I am going to withdraw from this discussion now, because I feel that I fallen into the error of not loving my neighbor as I should.
Dominus vobiscum.
Catholics are not going to the Cross of salvation, they are going to the crucifix of damnation.

We do pray for Catholics and that is why we give you the true gospel of salvation.
It is Catholics who take that as being persecuted and slandered!

No, it is concern for your souls which are going to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire because you rejected the free grace of God.

Real love for your neighbor is shown by telling them the truth, not ignoring the fact that they are in spiritual bondage.
