[NKP_Vet] Exactly. Read my post above.
[NKP_Vet]The only Catholic that would consider becoming a protestant are those Cafeteria catholics that never lived their faith to start with. They want to be able to do it “their way” instead of God’s way, whether that means aborting their children or “marrying” someone of the same sex. This is not possible in the Catholic Church, but alive and well in countless protestant denominations.
You dismiss the data with an assertion which means you offer no facts, stats etc. to support your claim.
You mean actual surveys, and the evidence of evangelicals and even Prots being more conservative? And shows that supporting aborting children or “marrying” someone of the same sex is not simply possible, but such souls that do so can be held as members, and even receive cordial correspondence from a pope, invoking blessings and appreciation for their prayers.
The negative stats are dealt with by the spin he has twice resorted to, and even defended, in which the rich man who went to Hell could be saved to be more charitable than the widow who gave what she had, if the rich man gave more than her penny! Desperate, yes, honest, no. Another example of what reactionary loyalty to Rome can effect. Reasonable exchange is discouraged
This is all sophomoric reading of Scripture. One simply cannot crack open a Bible and take quotes without reading of text, context, history, revelation, and tradition. These are the usual norms of Scriptural interpretation and we have One Church established by the Christ to do this. Not some 35, 000 Christian sects where just about each person is a “Christian “unto himself. This makes nonsense of the injunction to Peter to go forth and teach a single Truth. The single teaching was the “Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.” This is the Church that grew from a mustard seed to cover the corners of the world. That Truth is found in the “Catholic Catechism” with no room for Cafeteria Catholics to pick, choose, and pull apart. Again, go read Hillaire Belloc’s “The Great Heresies.”
You beat me to it. I was just in the process of pointing out the obvious disconnect when I saw this post of yours.
