I think it sad that these tit for tat volleys continue over and over.

Protestants claim Catholics are in error, Catholics feel the protestants are not even part of Christ's body.

We are all the body of Christ if we confess with our mouths and our lives that Jesus is indeed the messiah.

We ALL make mistakes and live in a broken world.

Even as the church was being established, MEN began putting their own spin on the salvation message. What's the difference in 2010?

Besides, look at all the scandals....in both Protestant and Catholic churches. satan is alive and well, attempting to tear down the church from within.

Unity in the body of Christ comes through the belief in the essentials of the faith. Christ Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of God, given in love from the Father Almighty.

We all believe that...don't we? God knows our imperfections, our propensity to sin.

Do we not run back to HIM when we fall into sin?

I guess I'm just sayin....Can't we all just get along. lol.

Think about those who are searching for salvation. Are we not giving off a message of disunity through our own prideful tendencies?

Who cares if others pray to Mary, why must those who pray to or through Mary keep insisting that others are in error if they fail to do so?

Unity through the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

‘Catholics feel the protestants are not even part of Christ’s body’

Not true, anyone who has a Christian Baptism and accepts the Nicene Creed is part of the Church, although Protestants are in some greater or lesser error and the Orthodox are in schism.

Incorrect —> Protestant groups like the Traditional Anglicans and Lutherans are clearly part of Christ’s body. Any group that holds true to the orthodox tenets of the Trinitarian faith as described in the Nicene Creed and which has a valid baptism in the name of the Father,Son and Holy Spirit, is an estranged part of The Body.
