“The PROBLEM is in dangerous theology that denies the work of Christ, and joins His good works with our own or with some Saint or Mary to whom they expect us to go through in order to get to Christ.”

Clearly - if that is what you believe - then the real problem is ignorance. Yours.

Clearly that IS Catholicism. And I say that as someone who was raised Catholic. Went to parochial school through 12th grade. And still have many Catholic relatives. Catholics like to deny it in order to get Evangelicals not to bother them, but it is what it is.

Let me make this perfectly clear: I am absolutely not impressed by any of the bona fides you just listed. Raised as a Catholic? Apparently you didn’t learn the faith. Went to parochial school through 12th grade? Apparently you didn’t learn the faith. Still have many Catholic relatives? Apparently none of them taught you the Catholic faith.

And then you wrote this stunning claim: “Catholics like to deny it in order to get Evangelicals not to bother them, but it is what it is.”

No, we just deny what is falsely said about us. WE DO NOT DENY THE WORK OF CHRIST.

I was raised Catholic - and I know the truth. I went to Catholic school - and know the truth. I have Catholic relatives - and learned a long time ago I don’t rely on them for the proper understanding of the faith.
