I agree with lots of authors and theologians who have gone before me. It just so happens that most of them were not Roman Catholics.

Basically, you are telling me that you have an idea of what God is and what He has revealed, and will tend to agree with ANYONE who agrees with your own preconcieved ideas. See, FK, in a revealed religion, it is supposed to be the other way around. God REVEALS HIMSELF to us - WE don't tell God what WE think about Him. Thus, when God reveals Himself through the Church, it is up to us to change our views when necessary. This is the difference between you and the Catholic.


And where do these preconceived ideas come from ... ?

What is the difference between a Catholic and a Protestant other than that they appeal to different authorities ?

Catholics and Protestants heed the teaching they receive from their own respective clergy ...

And each group has had the opportunity to peruse and study the accepted scriptures for hundreds of years.

Protestant theologic conclusions are no more pre-conceived than are Catholic conclusions ... they're simply different in some areas.

Did God give new revelation to mankind in 1520?
