Do you go to the same sect of Catholicism as afvet?

He also tried misusing that Scripture to silence the opposition when he was taking a beating as well.

I’m curious as to why Catholics who dismiss Scripture so frequently love to try to beat others into submission with it as if suddenly they find it authoritative.

It’s almost as if they expect Christians to roll over and play dead the minute someone (mis)quotes Scripture at them. Like we’re going to say *Oh NOES! He used Scripture! Now we have to listen to everything he says.*

But Catholics problem is that Christians can think for themselves and we don’t just parrot the party line of our church. And we’re not just a bunch of pansies.

We can tell when someone is trying to manipulate us into submission with Scripture.

MM, I was going to alert you to the “women being quiet in church” thing, but you picked up on it like white on rice. Good looking out.

Shared Communion With Protestants Would be Blasphemy and Sacrilege-Title

It looks like from the direction of Catholicism these days it very well could be blasphemy by Protestants if they took Catholic communion with all the rituals and false claims (bringing Jesus from His throne and making Him enter their unleavened bread etc) that are completely unbiblical and bordering on being apostate.
