While no Christian should have trouble with the sentence above, I think many, indeed any, Christian not Roman Catholic--not to be antagonistic--would find the rest of the sentence (and article) full of unfounded assertions, mis-uses of holy scripture, and frankly utterly preposterous and unconvincing.
Pretty ironic that this is posted as an "Ecumenical" thread eh, since "who at the same time are in communion with His representative, the Pope of Rome." make up less than 1% of the various Christian denominations in the USA--and it is a statement which is the total opposite of "ecumenical."
But hey, it's what Christians on Free Republic have come to expect. For you RC folk reading this...., your article above is NOT a great way to be ecumenical, but definitely a great way to be antagonistic!!!
Analog,
Please do remember that the new guidelines ask for no bashing on these threads. So please consider...........
This is only one line in the entire Apostles’ Creed. Yes, it is ecumenical. And though your reply was not really too polite, I accept it because I can see where you are coming from.
May I ask you to put on another pair of spectacles and look at the other side of the issue......just one line in the Apostles’ Creed.
You might want to click on the other links and read them also.
Thank you.
To keep the "ecumenic" tone of the thread, contrast your beliefs to those in the article without being antagonistic.
