Yes, it does matter to me from the person who posted it because it is pretty obvious that he/she is avoiding it. Why is that?

I am sorry, but I have no desire to argue with you about this. I really don't care what the Vatican is doing to correct what they think are errors in how good little Catholics are supposed to behave. I wanted to show that the number of 20,000 is at best a controversial number. For those that will take that mountain to die on, they will see it as a valid number, no matter what anyone says, least of all me. For others, they will see it as it is.

But the bottom line is that we are all sinners and we are all in need of the grace of God working in our lives and none of us, not one of us has the handle on 100% of the truth, but pride often deceives us into thinking we do. Some groups are closer, some are not. We are each given a measure of faith and it is by faith that we are saved and it is in Christ that we live and have our being. There by the grace of God, go I.

There are AT LEAST 20,000 different sets of folks who share the same distinct beleifs within their distinct set and call themselves Christians.

Why in the world are you apologizing for not wanting to argue this with me when I clearly stated at the top of post
71 that I can’t argue it but am only presenting the information you wanted?
