Not in “my” view. In the Traditional Catholic view. This isn’t about me. It’s about being faithful to Christ and His Catholic Church.
Most Catholics you know have been infected with Modernism and Protestantism. It’s no wonder you are shocked to hear a Catholic say these things.
And to be honest, I thought about your concern last night. I felt bad that my comments bothered you. But then I also realized that all I did was speak as Catholic popes spoke in the past. I’m sure they offended a lot of people.
Piusv, I’m sorry to disillusion you, but your comments don’t “bother” me. As a child of Jesus Christ, they simply don’t have that capability. You lack the understanding that He exists outside the doors of your denomination. You place limits on the Lord of creation.
Nor am I shocked to see you admit your belief. I wanted to see if you would be honest enough to do so, in bald terms, and you were.
Yes, you are in error, and you lack understanding of the power of salvation through Jesus. You don’t boast about Him, as Paul instructed us to do; your misplaced pride is in your denomination, your popes, your history, your buildings, your traditions. While I find that sad, we’re not going to change each other’s minds, so it is what it is.
But you needed to be called on it.
It does lead back to my original point as to why some folks on this forum have given me a negative opinion of Catholicism. I expect there are Catholics here who understand exactly where I’m coming from.
Have a blessed day.
