Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, whose ssins you shall retain, they are retained...
Protestantism is a "scourge on humanity"? A bit offensive, don't you think? (I'm not even a Protestant.)
No, I don't think it's offensive....it's true....and if you are a non-Catholic Christian then you are indeed a protestant.
If God promises to forgive our sins if we confess them, then why did Jesus allegedly give the power to retain sins to a man?
Protestantism is a "scourge on humanity"? A bit offensive, don't you think?First, let me congratulate you on being honest on your false claim about Protestantism.No, I don't think it's offensive....it's true....and if you are a non-Catholic Christian then you are indeed a protestant.
From the RM guidelines: "...when a poster paints with a brush that accuses an entire religion..."
Second, your statement posted as fact that "if you are a non-Catholic Christian then you are indeed a protestant" has been explained many times.
A fact is that I and many others-OTC's-posting here are not Protestants.
Broadbrushing all non Catholics as being Protestants is false, in error, wrong, inaccurate and a misstatement.
Try to remember that, OK?
That being said, thank you for not including me and some of my fellow Christians as a ""scourge on humanity"
Doesn't your priest ever tire of your needing absolution of this arrogance thing you can't seem to shed?
