Rick Warren is Promoting Apostate Roman Catholicism

So, there is controversy over which way to worship the Lord?

[BibChr]

For clarification, I believe “apostate” is in apposition to “Roman Catholicism.” The author is not implying that there is currently a Roman Catholicism which, evaluated Biblically, is not apostate.

When one strays from the Biblical worship in Spirit and Truth...doesn't it always become a "controversy"?

[Kate of Spice Island]

I think just about everyone has strayed to one degree or another.

[pby]

When an entire denomination, or church, does it and defends their unbiblical (apostate) worship, then it becomes a "controversy".

That is why we are commanded to contend for the faith.

[Kate of Spice Island]

So, if I read Rick Warren's book, sometimes attend a non-denominational Christian church and occasionally practice Catholicism...

Did I do something wrong?

Rick Warren is Promoting Apostate Roman Catholicism

So he's trying to get Roman Catholics to apostasize? Or he's appealing to apostate Roman Catholics as opposed to non-apostate Roman Catholics?

[Logophile]

. . . . the so-called “Christian” mystic and Carmelite nun Teresa of Avila.

Apparently the author considers Teresa of Avila not to have been a Christian. That says more about him than it does about her.

[pby]

...Or is Warren trying to get everyone to "apostasize"?

Clearly Catholics have significantly different doctrines than Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, Mormons and Jews, and vis versa.

[silverleaf]

Who cares? People of all cultures who have clinically died and approached “God” and come back to tell have never claimed he told them to go to hell if they were apostate Catholics, Methodists, Buddhists, or any of a hundred other faiths. There is one road to God, but it is not a narrow one-lane country path.

For Pete’s sake, doesn’t this Ken Silva have anything bigger to worry about on the religious front than other Christian denominations? Like...oh...the ROP?

[cammie]

Oh, and I’ll add — just looked at this dingleberry’s website. He’s running quite the little hate group over there. I wonder how God feels about Christian ministers who make it their life’s work to bash other Christian denominations? I can’t imagine He feels too kindly about it.

[Tax-chick]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rick Warren is turning into quite the epic figure. I’m starting to wonder if he really exists, or if he’s just been invented by a batch of toons so they’ll have a target for their bile.

Maybe he’s Karl Rove’s second front ...

[pby]

LOL, Tax-chick...

maybe he is Karl Rove's second front.

[Tax-chick]

He looks a little like Karl, in his pictures. (Assuming Karl is really himself in *his* pictures ...)

More hair, but that’s easily arranged.

[pby]

Have you ever seen Warren and Rove together?

You may be on to something, here!

[Running On Empty]

Obviously he hasn’t really read the works of St. Teresa of Avila or he would know better.

I’m convinced that if Silva can show this kind of ignorance that it puts anything else that he writes under a cloud.

[Salvation]

** but I am also a former Roman Catholic.**

Didn’t know this about him.

I daresay he is still a Catholic.

[siunevada]

For example there’s the Catholic Currier

I thought this was a going to be a horse-y story.
