You made a generalization of Protestants, that they gave up the traditions of not condoning being gay, or women priests or divorce, etc. And yet the majority of "Protestant" denominations hold to these. The majority of Christians who would consider themselves Protestant "try" to hold to the tenets of the Bible.
your comment: ” And if there is a disagreement between scripture and our tradition, we ditch the tradition.”
Like the way many Protestants have ditched that whole gay thing? (Page Vickie Eugene Robinson.) Or that Divorce thing? How about that women preaching thing? Contraception? Hmmmm."
Just as you threw out the name of Vicki Robinson and pointed the finger at Protestants, I threw out the name of Ted Kennedy and pointed back at Catholics.
We can sit here and make accusations of one group or the other. We can get all holier than thou. We can point fingers all we want.
What does it accomplish? Does it unite us in Christ or divide us into sectarianism? Do we humbly serve each other? Or do we puff ourselves up and gloat?
LOL, Ted Kennedy is NOT and never was ordained by the Church. Robinson was. Get it?
