in order to reply intelligently to prior posts, it would be wise to follow the entire thread( that is why they are called threads). I have no idea what your point is, and from having read all the posts, that is typical of your work here.

Apparently you don't get a 'to post #' on your FR screen. I responded to you post 568:

Hold on- how is it irrelevant that so many "Catholic" are extremely selective in what they believe. Hmm, sounds like what you are criticizing in those you would call Protestant. I once asked Alain SA why he goes church-shopping amoung his local RC parishes, but I did not get an answer.

To which I replied:
Anyone not confessing the full doctrine of the church is heterodox.

Since you used the example of Catholics; If a Catholic professes abortion is ok, or should be legalized that are anathema, they are heterodox, and they are not part of the Catholic church.

There is no need to defend those who are automatically anathema since regardless of what they may assert or to whom they may donate they are no more a part of the church than are protestants. Protestants hold false doctrines, and these folks who claim themselves to be Catholic also hold false doctrines. Further none of these folks is here defending their false doctrines; protestants are.

You should have enough of a grasp of your own posts so as to recognize responses to them. If not perhaps you're posting more than you're thinking.
