But again how are we ever going to detect the hand of God on the person without rudely driving him away, in which case then the person may go to the “anathema” of an evangelical congregation and find the right attitude because God couldn’t get through the formalities of the Catholic system?
You folks earned that reputation and onus, if it happens. Notice Mike Pence is a former Catholic, now evangelical, who now believes in the redemption and rehab of such souls. Because he got out of the manmade theological box that has plagued your communion and the way it thinks.
“God couldn’t get through the formalities of the Catholic system…You folks earned that reputation and onus…manmade theological box that has plagued your communion and the way it thinks…”
Aww, and this conversation started out so well. Was it a trap from the beginning?
“the person may go to the “anathema” of an evangelical congregation”
Protestantism is not anathema.
“who now believes in the redemption and rehab of such souls.”
Somebody tell you that the Catholic Church doesn’t? What the Church objects to is these guys coming over and saying, “I’m bringing my abomination into your church, and you will enthusiastically endorse it, or else.”
“But again how are we ever going to detect the hand of God on the person”
I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say there.
“Yeah, an autodidact, who has missed out on study of the real world. Such a person makes many gaffes.”
That’s just unsupported and insupportable meanness.
Tell me, in your first couple of posts, when you seemed to understand this issue so well, were you just trolling for a fight?
