>>Considering the Papists around here think Proddies are all lost that is quite funny<<
I’m proud to be Papist, got the bumper sticker to prove it.
Every Catholic believes what the Vatican states.
It is possible, according to Catholic doctrine, to affirm correctly that the Church of Christ is present and operative in the churches and ecclesial Communities not yet fully in communion with the Catholic Church, on account of the elements of sanctification and truth that are present in them.[9] Nevertheless, the word “subsists” can only be attributed to the Catholic Church alone precisely because it refers to the mark of unity that we profess in the symbols of the faith (I believe... in the “one” Church); and this “one” Church subsists in the Catholic Church.
I know some believe that Catholics think that “Proddies are all lost” but we actually believe that you are Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Wish those that were not Catholic thought the same of us. It always makes me giggle when certain posters call non-Catholics “Brother in Christ” or “Sister in Christ” but never calls a Catholic that.
If we are all Brothers/Sisters in Christ, so then are the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses and anyone else who names the name of Jesus...
Not only is the road a narrow one, we are all on different roads...And they don't all lead to Heaven...
