Many of the "Christians" here are followers of Paul, not Christ.

Baseless opinion, nothing more.

It's simply justification for condemning Protestantism as a whole.

It is rather ironic and hypocritical from people who follow a man themselves, Peter to be exact.

Catholics are so ingrained with the following a religious leader mentality, that it's clearly beyond their comprehension that someone can follow Christ alone, and have faith in Him without someone holding their hand.

You just hit the nail on the head, metmom. Baseless opinion, and seeming justification for being rabid anti-Protestants. Just another way to try to shut down the only conversation that matters: the Gospel of the Grace of God. Thanks for posting this. Stand strong, brave Protestants. The rocks being hurled are only stale rolls..

“Many of the “Christians” here are followers of Paul, not Christ.”

Names? Or perhaps Mark would explain what the difference is for the us folks in the back of the class. Yes? No?

I mean I quote Paul a lot and I did have a priest make much the same statement to me years ago and till now no one has said what, if any, difference there is between Paul’s teaching and Christ’s.

While I agree that Paulianity is baseless (the base is of course Christ), the sheer quantity of Pauline proofs and the sheer lack of Gospel proofs, as well as us being told that the Gospels are irrelevant (didn't you climb on that bandwagon yourself?) indicate that it is not opinion. It is fact.

It's simply justification for condemning Protestantism as a whole.

I don't condemn Protestantism as a whole. You guys do a fine job all by yourselves. I just grab the popcorn and watch.

It really is irritating to be reminded of failed Catholicism.

Catholics are so ingrained with the following a religious leader mentality, that it's clearly beyond their comprehension that someone can follow Christ alone, and have faith in Him without someone holding their hand.

On one hand you claim this. On the other hand you post exactly the opposite.
