Are you willing to stop defending catholicism? Having a common enemy does not make us allies.

Then you fail to comprehend the nature, depth and breadth of the battle being waged. You will not win the battle without your Christian allies, specifically those Christians in the Catholic Church (as well as the Orthodox.) And no, I will not stop defending my faith, because fools will not heed Peter Kreeft's Godly wisdom and stop attacking it.

The most frustrating aspect in fighting the war Kreeft examines is when the fool next to you turns his gun on you instead of the common enemy. For in so doing he fights in reality for the enemy, whether he realize it or admit it or not. As far as the false gospels of the Mormons or the JW's. God will sort that out. All we can do is witness to the Truth and let the Holy Spirit handle the rest. If one lumps Catholicism in with Mormonism and JWism, one neither understands Catholicism nor the Gospel. (See ArGee's excellent comments above, #154.)

You got comments, not the muzzle. Different things entirely, but I understand your point of view. Agree with you (and Kreeft), or I'm one of them. It's not news to you; I AM one of them.

I understand all four, and three of them don't line up with the Gospel. Grandpa asked me "If you argue with a fool, who's the fool?"

I'll not trouble you further.
