This peristent need for certain religious elements to denounce Catholic practice as "demonic" is a particularly noxious violation of that commandment.

Then I would suggest you study precisely what the Protestant church fathers had to say about the matter. They didn't seem to believe that their comments about the Catholic Church were a "noxious violation" of the 2nd commandment. And I can assure you they had far worst things to say then what we have said.

It is rather sad that most Protestants have forgotten their roots and why they left the Catholic Church.

I don’t recall anyone in this thread calling RCC Doctrine demonic. What was called demonic was the worshiping of idols such as the angel of death. I’ve asked whether or not THAT practice is RCC approved, but have rec’d no answer.

Yes, yes.... the gentlemen whose religious enthusiasms helped to foment the religious wars of the 15th-17th centuries are such a fine example for how we should deal with those with whose religious practices we disagree.

It is rather sad that most Protestants have forgotten their roots and why they left the Catholic Church.

And it's also rather sad to see "Bible believing" Christians like Pharisees.
