That’s a very hateful and bigoted position to take on the Catholic Church.
RE: “That’s a very hateful and bigoted position to take on the Catholic Church.”
1. I don’t hate people because they are Catholic, I hate the system that has so many trapped. That’s not bigotry, it’s compassion.
2. The Catholic churh, in the Council of Trent, took every one of the reformers’ positions (which are biblical), and said if anyone adheres to those positions, let “them be anathema.” (Let them be damned.) Do you remember how this conversation started? I asked “Did Rome finally renounce the Trent anathemas...?” (The answer is NO, by the way.) Until the Catholic church renounces Trent, you’re either a pot callingthe kettle black or you’re defending the pot calling the kettle black.
3. If you can defend the system, I’m all ears. If you beieve I’m in error, please set the record straight, and I’ll do my best immitation of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, “They received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.”
