That’s the rub. Around the world have just as much, if not more, diversity in belief and practice among those who tacitly acknowledge the Bishop of Rome as their head, as among those Christians who do not.
I don’t mean to be rude, but I have a hard time when a Roman Catholic bigot jumps into another denomination’s thread to proclaim his own righteousness.
Why would one profess a faith s/he didn’t think possessed the fullness of revealed truth? I think your use of the word righteous is misplaced. If you’re protestant, you must beleive that your faith possesses the fullness of the truth. There can’t be multiple contradictory truths.
Well, I’m Catholic myself and so I seldom post on non-Catholic religious threads — I don’t usually feel I have anything to the point to say (though I don’t think Catholics by any means have the monopoly on bigotry here!). I do find, though, that I can’t rejoice in or gloat over the difficulties of any other denomination — especially Anglican, where so many of their troubles mirror our own.
