That is your claim...I reject many of the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. I reject Apostolic Succession, and I reject the institution of Sacraments as being authoritative. We celebrate the Lord's Supper as a memorial to his death and resurrection.

And with that, we will probably need to end this debate. But, that is the position of Protestants...we reject "Romanism" and it's claims to exclusive authority within the Church. And we reject the assertion that my ordination, for instance, is invalid because I was not ordained by a celibate man who fails to meet the qualifications for a leader in the church as recorded in the Apostle Paul's letters to Timothy (chap 3) and Titus. There is valid ministry outside of the Roman Catholic Church...not the least of which is the Orthodox Church, which doesn't recognize the Pope as The Vicar of Christ.

LOL, what “authority” was cited in your “ordination”? What denomination do you claim authorizes your spreading of falsehoods and efforts to undermine the pious practices of Christians?

U think we kind of guessed that.

Debate? You call that a debate? I saw no debate. I barely saw a "frank exchange of views:" with the usual frustrating aspect that the characterization of the Catholic view seemed to me to be rich with misunderstanding of it -- as is often the case. IMHO this was more shadow boxing than debate.
