"For evangelical Christians, what one believes is more important than how one lives."

That's an out-and-out lie.

When it was said before (by some anti-Catholic around here) that "Catholic priests are child molesters" when Catholics here gave the same kind of objection you just did, saying "It's a lie to say that!" the "explanation" given was that the previous sentence (Catholic priests are child molesters) doesn't say "ALL Catholic priests are child molesters" it was just "Catholic priests are child molesters" so one can't necessarily infer that it meant "ALL" are child molesters.

So the same "logic" can and does apply to your objection. The sentence you object to doesn't say "For ALL evangelical Christians, what one believes is more important than how one lives.", it only says ""For evangelical Christians, what one believes is more important than how one lives." That doesn't necessarily mean "ALL" Evangelical Christians are like that.

So I say, "Enjoy the fruits of your fellow non-Catholics on FR".

Anders did not preface his statement with "In my opinion...". He was speaking as a "Protestant" historian which implies some authority on the subject. Had you said it, I would have just considered the source and moved on.

So I say, "Enjoy the fruits of your fellow non-Catholics on FR".

That statement makes no sense.

I see you've QUOTES something but not shown from where it was taken.

"some" does not help me any.

I want to SEE your 'quote' in situ so I can instruct 'some' anti-catholics in proper posting.


I also like to chat occasionally on Paltalk where I am known as Fact Checker

Golly!

I like to check facts; too!
