Yup.
If I weren’t concerned about the eternal destiny of those involved, on either side of the Tiber, I wouldn’t say a thing.
You may or may not be aware of the fact that Rome anathematized itself at Trent
LOL! If you think that's the case, then in reality, it anathematized itself at Nicea.
Thank God you're not talking about the Catholic Church.

There have been many threads posted on this topic over the span of the past week but you have singled out this particular parish on which to post your vitriolic comments. You are a reprobate, in the truest sense of the term. Your paltry attempt to rain on the joy of these fellow christians, speaks volumes about your own faith. St. Paul exhorted his fellow Christians to be joyful: Rejoice always (1 Thess. 5:16); rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice (Phil. 4:4).
Why? According to your own theology, if we're damned, we're damned because God made us that way. Likewise, if we're saved, we're saved because God made us that way.
And either way, nothing we (or you) do can "change" that decree in any way, it can only provide evidence of that decree to the world.
Why are you "concerned" about the eternal, ineffable, immutable decree of a sovereign God, pronounced before the foundation of the universe? Clay, meet potter.
Or are you really a closet Arminian? Is your theology so dreadful and impossible that even you don't really believe it?
