“It is possible to love and respect individual Catholics and at the same time oppose the teaching and structure of the RCC”
Catholics won’t buy into this. It’s no different than saying you can love Christ but don’t buy into the Church He established though St. Peter and his apostles.
It’s a really simple question.
As an evangelical protestant, they need to ask themselves,
“would I vote for someone who believed that I was a heretic?”
Do you think Jews would go for this? I like individual Jews but I don't buy into Israel.

There is no such church.
Read John ch 6; the Father populates his church by calling individuals to his son.
Protestants don’t really care what Catholics “buy into.” They stopped caring the day Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the church door. They stopped caring when they were able to read the Bible for themselves in their own language. They stopped caring when they learned they no longer had to buy indulgences from the Catholic Church to find salvation. They stopped caring when many of the early Protestant reformers were burned at the stake by Catholics in the name of the “true religion.”
The Catholic Church is the church Peter established and the only legitimate Christian church? What a lot of hooey!
Where are Bachmann’s guts? If she can be cowed this easily, she does have the cojones to be president.
