"These discussions always come down to one fundamental issue. The issue is authority. Who decides what is revealed Truth...do we submit ourselves to Christ through the Church He founded?"

I would agree the issue between fundamentalists and Catholics comes down the view of authority. It becomes murkier what constitutes "the Church".

I do like the following comments by him:

”Even though many fundamentalists think the Catholic Church is under the control of Satan and all or most Catholics are headed for hell, not all think that - and we shouldn't think the same of them.”

Why thank you-I think. :O)

”We must neither mirror their closed-mindedness nor become so open-minded that our brains spill out.”

There’s nothing worst than having a bunch of Catholic brains all over the floor. :O)

Nothing murky about it. Christ left a visible Church with marks to identify it. It comes down to accepting His church or rejecting it.
