And you can curse "Rome" all you want at its not going to have any effect either.

I curse false doctrine..not a church or its people..

Canon 3.If anyone says that the sacrifice of the mass is only of praise and thanksgiving; or that it is a mere commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross but not a propitiatory one; or that it profits him only who receives, and ought not to be offered for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities, let him be anathema.

It certainly seems to me that many on this thread consider Catholics to be heretics (according to Protestant doctrine), and vice versa. If there were in use in Protestantism the terms excommunicated, not in communion, or anathema, cut off from the church, I believe several on here would apply them to Catholics.

If it bothered someone here to be cut off from the Church or heretical in the eyes of the Church or excommunicated in the eyes of the Church, they can rectify that. But it seems quite clear this is not what they would wish.

From the statements and tone towards each other, it seems clear to me that each sees the other and his/her doctrines equivalent to heretical, not in communion with, cut off from, excommunicated, anathema - and worse if that exists and can be thought of and posted.

In my opinion based on these posts, those in these sets would not have it any other way; therefore being so declared must be a “good thing.”

And, again, if someone does not consider it a good thing, it can be remedied.

You have no authority to declare anything false. Contrary to your curse, the Church has accepted Christ's declaration that "This is my body" and his command to "do this in memory of me". We BELIEVE that the Eucharist is the ONE SACRIFICE MADE PRESENT. Whether you accept, reject, curse, gnash your teeth or wear ashes and sackcloth is completely irrelevant.
