Actually, you're wrong about that. I became Catholic nearly two years ago because the Catholic Church is the only Church with solid rock at it's core that hasn't changed the fundamentals they teach for two thousand years.

When I first started asking questions here because I has found holes in so many non-Catholic doctrines, especially the specifically anti-Catholic views, some of the same folks you seem to think are all soft and sweet were absolutely hateful toward me for even asking questions about sacred cows. That and reading all I could find of what Luther and Calvin wrote convinced me that the further you move away from traditional Catholicism the further you move away from the Truth as taught by Christ and the Apostles. So after thirty plus years as a solid conservative Lutheran I gave in to Scripture and became Catholic.

For all the distractions and diversions from those within the Catholic Church itself who obviously want to be "go along to get along" Protestants in all but name, there's an unchanged and unchanging core of Truth that hasn't changed a bit for two thousand years. Among Protestantism and it's derivatives though, I can't find any outgrowths of Wesley and Luther that managed to make it past the one hundred year mark without drastic changes that contradict their earlier teaching and even their own creed in some cases.

You're the one making assumptions and dealing with stereotypes, not me. That's typical, though, because doing so is a lot easier than trying to explain, for example, how someone can claim to believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit after asserting that the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect Holy Scripture from the inclusion of error.

I learned really fast that around here people who don't care enough about their own Salvation see the logical conclusions that flow from what they espouse snarking at Catholics is all well and good, but anyone Catholic confronting them with what flows from their own statements is naughty, naughty, naughty. Should I take it that you agree with that view or not?

Regards

Who claims here the Holy Spirit did not preserve scriptures?

Other than a few atheists who post here now and then I know of no such claim.

You obviously see Roman Catholicism as more Biblically accurate than being Protestant. I guess we will have to disagree as I was raised and educated Roman Catholic in a practicing family. For me there was no love in the Catholic church. It was wooden and upheld tradition higher than Holy Scriptures.
