As they say "a little bit of knowledge is dangerous. The mp3 is not history but rather a polemic that selective gathers some historical facts and selectively omits others. If you want a much better written polemic, read Hillaire Belloc's "How the Reformation Happened." which is brilliant, but emphasizes some facts and omits others in support of a Catholic view.

Sure they can, but I'm sure that it just gets tiresome for them when there are new similar threads being posted all the time. People just wish that some of the anti-catholic crowd would just take the time to do some research from other more objective sources before posting so much factually false material. What they are doing here is the equivalent of going to the Daily Koz for their "facts" on President Bush. We simply expect better from people posting on a conservative site.
Well Sandyeggo did listen to it and posted the following excerpts:
1. In the long war on truth, the most formidable, relentless, and deceptive enemy has been Roman Catholicism.
2. It is an apostate, corrupt, heretical, false Christianity.
3. It is a front for the kingdom of Satan.
4. The true Christianity of the Lord Jesus Christ has always understood this.
5. Are (Catholics) a mission field or co-laborers for Christ? That is what is at stake. Do we embrace them as fellow-believers in Jesus Christ?
The answer to Point 5 was a resounding NO.
The refutation of this is Christ established a Church, appointed Simon as its first earthly leader, changed his name to Peter gave, gave him the keys with the authority to bind and loose and promised to protect it. That Church is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
To deny this is to infer Christ can't keep his promises.
