“The human enemies of the Church can usually be divided into two groups — public and private enemies. Public enemies openly declare war on and attempt to carry out the destruction of the Faith or the faithful. Historically, such human enemies have included Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Freemasons and Communists. “
As a Protestant, I find this statement to be offensive and stupid.
“As a Protestant, I find this statement to be offensive and stupid.”
As a Catholic, so do I.
We believe in the same Christ. We will, do, and have sinned, and He has forgiven us. IMHO, that’s the most important thing EVER.
Division between Christians who believe what I stated above only benefits the Unclean, the Lord or Lies, the Son of Perdition. It is by his unholy hand such gains strength.

I find Martin Luther,John Calvin and others to be offensive and possessed.
The language sounds harsh, unless you compare it to what we see on occassion on these threads. :)
But, if protestants are not against the Church, then what is the point? If you’re against the Church - oppose it and it’s teaching, then I think “enemy” is a correct term.
