For the best part of two thousand years the Catholic Church deliberately kept the people ignorant of "Bible Doctrine." The reason was, the official position of the RC Church: that the scriptures be damned, Christianity is what the priests say it is. You don't need to know the Bible, WE will tell you what is important for you to know.A flat out falsehood. Very sad.
This is why we differ. Protestants believe that we are cleared of the penalty for sin, and the enslaving power of sin, but not from the presence of sin. And that the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer is sanctification, not justification. Justification was settled at the Cross, sanctification is an on going process until the Second Coming and the glorification of the believers
There fixed it for you
That is silly, there is nothing to counter, a minority of Protestants are liberals and a majority of Catholics are liberal, why is that and how can we make Catholics less liberal.

Yes - I still do not worship Christ in vain.
“ANY OTHER teachings - other than His Own/HIS WORD is man’s!”
Protestantism is man made.
“God makes the rules - NOT YOU!”
I never claimed I made them. Protestants make them for themselves, however.
“If HE says it’s in vain - then that’s what it is.”
I do not worship Christ in vain - and Christ neved said I did either.
“Your choice to be instructed as HE says or not.”
I already was instructed by Him. That’s why I am not a Protestant.
Protestants put Obama in the White House. More Protestants voted for him than “Catholics”.
Protestants invented religious liberalism.
Protestants invented political liberalism.
Protestants put Obama in the White House.
No you folks just have disfellowship and church splits, that's real christian /sarc
I get it, you don’t like Catholics that don’t vote like you do and you deny them the Catholic faith, but I think that the Vatican still counts them as Catholic in spite of your presumptions.
God makes the rules - NOT YOU! If HE says it's in vain - then that's what it is. Your choice to be instructed as HE says or not.God wrote:
And I say to you: That you are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.We in the Catholic (Universal) Church given us by Jesus Christ follow His words, why don't you?
In 1929 the COE voted to accept Birth Control/ artifical contraception and every prot church fell in line right after that. Say what you will about he Catholics in name only, The Catholic Chrch is the only one taht has never officially wavered from their official position.
The Pill annd other ABC's are indeed abortifactients.
I hear the bigotry, but I don’t hear the conservative activism.
The majority of Protestants vote conservative and pro-life, but what is it about Catholicism that leads the majority of Catholics to vote liberal and pro-abortion?
We need to examine that question if we are to defeat abortion and liberalism, especially in light of the Kennedy 1965 immigration act that is flooding us with more Catholics, this is urgent stuff for the future of the pro-life and the conservative movement in America.

That’s why I say - and it’s irrefutable - very, very few Protestants are really pro-life. If you support contraceptives, you support abortion and the culture of death.
Doesn't obozo claim to be a Prot, He wouldn't support the Born alive bill
"...I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister both of these things which thou has seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee." (Acts 26:16).
Jesus Christ. To Paul. After He spoke to Peter.
My concern is the Catholic voter and his Democratic party in America, not the Vatican over in Europe.

Maybe your hearing would be better in the “News/Activism” forum. This is teh religion forum.
“The majority of Protestants vote conservative and pro-life, but what is it about Catholicism that leads the majority of Catholics to vote liberal and pro-abortion?”
Clearly tens of millions of Protestants voted for Obama - millions more than Catholics - and very, very few Protestants are pro-life. Most Protestant sects support abortion in one way or another.
“We need to examine that question if we are to defeat abortion and liberalism, especially in light of the Kennedy 1965 immigration act that is flooding us with more Catholics, this is urgent stuff for the future of the pro-life and the conservative movement in America.”
To defeat abortion once and for all protestantism must be defeated. Protestantism gave us liberalism. Liberalism gave us abortion on demand and contraception. Protestant ideology leads to abortion.
What was finished was Christ’s redemptive work on the cross.
The penalty for sin was paid but that doesn’t mean that sin was eliminated. That’s coming yet.
I can’t believe that Catholics can miss something so basic.
The return home of any who has been lost and deceived is a welcome grace.
