"And a little while later the same charges are met with the same responses. I'm not clear what purpose is served by this exercise.

I cannot speak for your frame of mind. The purpose of speaking out about the rampant error of Rome is to inform the public that RCC theology is a man-made conglomeration of superstition and tradition. The very tenets of the the message delivered by Paul are continuously mangled by Rome until its followers believe a different "gospel". This, as Paul said, should be anathema. It matters little if you approve, agree, or change your mind. That is entirely up to you.

Thank GOD you're not describing the Catholic Church.

Ah. Do you tthen come on to these threads to sound the alarm, in the hope that by misrepresenting our teaching you will entice us to renounce it, and, failing that, through misrepresentations of what we teach you hope to warn others away from believing what we do in fact teach?

Is this, in your view, sort of like a political debate, where neither party really engages the arguments of the other but rather, by glib phrases and sophistries they hope to garner supporters among the witnesses? It’s not a real conversation, it’s a matter of posing, of pretending to engage while rally playing to the audience?

Would that be an example of doing evil (by misrepresenting one’s opponent and oneself) that good might come?
