Also in the Register: Randal Terry, CatholicRandall Terry has become Catholic. Tell me about your family. How did you come to know Christ? How did you first get started in pro-life work? What led to the founding of Operation Rescue? How many times were you arrested? When did you first take an interest in the Catholic Church? Which theological hurdles were the most difficult for you to jump? I understand that you are awaiting word on the annulment of your first marriage. Can you tell me why you chose to be received into the Church (without being able to receive the Eucharist), before the resolution of your annulment? Tell me how your reception into the Church came about. What was your greatest fear? How do you expect your evangelical colleagues will react to news of your conversion? Do you anticipate that your conversion could hurt you in your Senate race in a predominantly Protestant state?

Here I corrected your post for you.
"Look, I realize that you're a Protestant and therefore not really interested in learning about Catholicism."
Now Have a good day
Hey, I'm not the one denying the plain statements in the Bible. You are.
And yet you claim to base your position on the Bible. It's called a "logical disconnect".
Please do not post to me anymore
on this subject.
Thank you
and Once again
Have a nice day.
I was raised a So. Baptist and converted in my mid-twenties. I've noticed the same thing over the years. Devout Catholics and devout Baptists are not that far apart.
Sheesh! Even this Arminian heretic knows that one.
Boy, I'm glad I'm a Baptist and spiritually inoculated against this threat.
"Spiritually inoculated" against a "threat"?
Yesterday I posted a citation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which calls non-Catholic Christians our "brothers".
You, OTOH, call us a "threat," and use language more suited to a public health campaign against a menacing disease organism. The last group of folks who characterized an entire religion that way ... wore brown shirts.
The Catholics only started calling Baptists, along with other Protestants, ... brothers, ... about 40 years ago or so.
For centuries before that ... we were called much worse.
And vice versa, what's your point?

That's not true.
The Protestant (and other) churches had no anathemas for Catholics.
Perhaps some individual Protestant believers, ... but none of the Protestant churches, themselves.
They ... thanks for the laugh this morning!
Your post of a breath of fresh air. :o)
Any time. You should see the extensive references to hot dogs, french fries (of course there is no Hebrew, Greek or civilized word for "french"), fried onion rings and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'm sure with a little more research into the Dead Sea Scroll fragments we can nail down the references to barbecue. I think pizza was added by one of the ancient church fathers just before the third culinary council. Just be patient a little longer.
The Religion Wars pale in comparison to the Barbecue Wars.
I'm thinking of being a little orthodox myself tonight.
However, not chianti. Merlot.
"However, not chianti. Merlot."
See, See! Bishop Pinole was right. I little compromise here a little compromise there and then WHAM, there goes the chianti. Next you will be saying you use grape juice during communion. Where will it stop!
Most nights, I'll stop after 2-3 glasses...
Mmmmm, frozen Snickers! Not quite as good as a frozen Zero bar, but if I complained that would be like asking for quail after receiving manna.
Oh, and there was a perfectly good reason why God didn't use the big bars - because manna fell from the sky (Ps 78:24), and God is a God of infinite mercy. Would you want to be hit in the head with a 510 calorie, 63 grams of carbs (54 grams of sugar) 1/4 lb candy bar every morning? You could get a concussion!
What, are you insane? Beef and veal were barbequed every day as commanded under the Old Covenant sacrificial system! The Levites ate barbequed beef, veal, and fowl every day, and the whole camp was filled with the wonderful smell!
Does that mean that manna was kinda like hush puppies?
What? Oh no, manna again?
Oh, manna waffles
manna burgers!
manna bagels
fillet of manna
manna...cotti?
bamanna bread!
