Shouldn’t Protestants be protesting in the streets, calling him an infidel and making death threats against him?
After the conversion of towering Anglican Oxford intellectual prelate John Henry Newman to Catholicism its small wonder that remants of Protestantism still exist. I guess it’s a nice paying job for a married man (and now woman).
Old news.
“After the conversion of towering Anglican Oxford intellectual prelate John Henry Newman to Catholicism its small wonder that remants of Protestantism still exist.”
Maybe the “remnants of Protestantism” still exist due to that doctrine known as “justification by faith alone”(Romans 1:17, 3:24, Galatians 3:10-14, Ephesians 2:8-9)?
an gay one at that correct?
Newman was never gay.
no. i was not referring to Newman but to practices of allowing gays to lead the Protestant congregations.
I wonder if Mr. Olmstead was in the P.C.U.S.A.(which I have affectionally referred to as both the “Pagan Church USA” or the “Lesbyterian Church”) or in the B.P.C., P.C.A., O.P.C., E.P.C. or A.R.P.(Presbyterian denominations that actually believe in Biblical orthodoxy).
Oh Oh! Of course you are on target. The Scottish Church now have bishops who sodomize each other before service and the congregation cheers their partners.
A couple of the most loved/popular ministers in my neighborhood are at the Catholic and the Lutheran churches. The Catholic guy was once a Methodist, and the Lutheran pastor was raised as a Catholic.
Go figure.
Not so fast and not so simple:

Our Pastor gave a wonderful homily this morning on this subject. In it, he referenced the Joint Declaration between the Lutheran and Catholic Churches.
I'd always considered 'good works' part of the faith life of Catholics, simply because of what Jesus taught us about how we should treat others who are less fortunate, and meet their needs, in His name.
**I love the devotional practices of the Catholic church, its prayers and devotions, Olmstead said.**
I think many people do love the prayers and devotionals. They just don’t admit it.
I don’t see how he could have been ordained in a body that subscribed to the WCF - his improper marriage should have forestalled that. So the most likely candidates are the PCUSA or the one of the Cumberland bodies.
I looked it up - PCUSA.

Strange how the only time “faith alone” is mentioned in the Bible it is rejected as a doctrine (James 2:24).
Hit the road.
