Hate to say it again...and again.

Well repeating a falsehood is hateful, so that's quite understandable.

The compulsion to engage in self-demeaning and hated behavior is pastorally and psychiatrically interesting. And, then, FWIW, there's the old line about repeating a behavior and hoping for a different result.

Ah. You see, even when they slander me and are persistently rude, those baptized into Christ' death are brothers to me. I see that, once again, the Protestant view is more legalistic and exclusive, and, wonder of wonders, more readily adapted to providing a license for falsehood, rudeness, and abuse of those with whom you disagree.

I did not so learn Christ.

Well, your posts are those which contain "hate" and "hateful"; I am reporting to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the truth. If that bothers Rome, or its constituency, then so be it. The truth has always been a burr under the saddle of Rome.

Should you be interested in finding, "...falsehood, rudeness, and abuse of those with whom you disagree.", you may review some of the posts from fellow RCs. The venom spewed, when told the Mother Ship is a fraud, hardly rises to the level of "philadelphia". But, that is expected.

Nevertheless, we will continue to say, Christ and Him alone, no baggage of Rome, is the Gospel delivered to us once for all. Until Rome acknowledges that the sacerdotal trappings, the seven sacraments, the mariolatry, the indulgences, the holy water, the icons, the pope, the separate country, the army, the currency, the incense, and other excesses that have been added to the Gospel are just that, excesses, we will continue to speak the truth. And we will call Rome to repentence.

I did so learn Christ.
