>> Seems to me the deal the the Roman church presents to Christians is, you give us your complete attention and loyalty, in return we will guarantee what we teach you is 100% reliable, and we will protect you from the wolves. Some things I read makes me question how well the Church is holding up its end of the bargain. <<
Honest truth is: I agree. WAY to many priests are doing an absolutely horrific job of holding up their end of the deal. Fortunately, any LITERATE Catholic can find out the truth of what the Church teaches in spite of these losers. And THAT’S the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism: in Protestantism, your interpretation of the bible is only as good as the guy who instructed you.
“And THAT’S the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism: in Protestantism, your interpretation of the bible is only as good as the guy who instructed you.”
Incredible, now that there is heresy in the CHURCH, the position changes to “in Protestantism, your interpretation of the bible is only as good as the guy who instructed you” when Catholics have been arguing all along that that is the genius of Catholicism’s “one church”, while it has been arguing in Protestantism, it was each man interpreting for himself is his own Pope.
