The idea that we define ourselves as ‘the opposite of Catholicism’ is ludicrous.

That accusation is akin to homosexuals defining those who oppose them as being "homophobic." The reality is that because of holding Scripture as the standard for Truth, with doctrines being in dependance upon Scriptural substantiation, then it is results in being opposed to many things in Roman Catholicism.

And most of the anti-Catholic posts we see here on FR is due to the incessant advertizing and promotion of Roman Catholicism, which holds itself as the elite and only one True Church. And a fools mouth call for strokes, (Prv. 18:6) so these call for reproof.

“...holding Scripture as the standard for Truth...results in being opposed to many things in Roman Catholicism.”

“...Roman Catholicism...holds itself as the elite and only one True Church.”

So would you say that that which defines an “elite and only one True Church” is its “holding scripture as the standard for truth”?

Yeah. I don’t see how that definition has ever caused sectarian splits at all. Ever. O.o

Hey Tonto, that’s because it is.
