I am Catholic and one of my favorite religious authors is Philip Yancy. I also love the religious fiction of Frank Perretti and Ted Dekker. We miss so much if we shut our minds to what a Protestant or Catholic has to say because they belong to a different church. If a Methodist says to me Jesus is Lord I will agree, because that is the truth. If a Catholic says to me abortion is ok, I will deny that because it is a lie. It is not being Catholic or Protestant that makes us right or wrong. It is our willingess to submit to God's grace and follow His teachings in our lives.
I am Catholic and love the Church and submit to her teachings. I do this because I love Christ above all things and do believe she is His church. But I know the Grace of Christ is active in the lives of many Non Catholic Christians. Why should I reject those whom He finds worthy??
AMEN!

And if some of the usual suspects would concentrate more on living the gospel, rather than devoting so much time to attempts to destroy others' faith, they would probably have greater success!
Ditto!
