I don’t think I misunderstood your post at all, unless there is some yet to be disclosed tradition that will further illuminate it for me. I did not insinuate that “faithful” Catholics had “no clue.” I question the meaning of “faithful,” in the Dark Ages, and beyond. I don’t think getting dunked or answering an alter call is any different.
I suppose I could answer in kind, and claim that you insinuate that Prostetant theology consists of only open dish dinners (not that you would insinuate such a thing). In fact, I won’t even condescend to assign you a bit of homework.
I certainly did not mean to insinuate that Protestant theology consists only of open dish dinners, but only that I have enjoyed good fellowship with many protestant friends, and spent about 20 years in various denominations Also my inclusion of Barth, Bonhoffer and others should have suggested my respect for protestant theologians.
