“the RC edifice . . . that !!!!TRADITIONAL!!!! monstrosity of political power mongering, history mangling, Bible mangling, cobbled together 300-400 years after Christ”
Catholics are hardly Bible mangling. In fact, you can thank St. Jerome for translating the Holy Bible and the Catholic Church for authorizing the original canon of the Holy Word.
“300-400 years after Christ”
Actually Christ set up his Church with the Apostles He Chose and the first Pope, Peter. We Catholics are the original Church of Christ...you may want to be careful about mocking what Christ has initiated.
Peace be with you. Praise God for the graces he has bestowed upon you as a Protestant.
This gets said all the time, but it is just not true. When, where and how did the church in Rome do all this?
