“I never for one second claimed that Protestant churches were perfect or did not have their share of scandals.”
Your posting history suggests that your beliefs might not match what you have not “claimed.” It suggests that you are here primarily, if not exclusively, to make false accusations against the Church, and to harm her in all other ways that might come to your hand.
“But the very same things that Catholics accuse non-Catholics of can be said of Catholicism”
Only some of them. If you’re talking about a bitter, spiteful, malicious, long-term effort to detract and slander, by all means honest and dishonest, then no: that can be said of some Protestants, but Catholics just aren’t interested enough in the fruits of the Protestant heresy to bother.
The Catholics who are morally corrupt enough to engage in such things are theological leftists who direct their efforts at the Catholic Church, not Protestants.
“and yet Catholics constantly present the RCC as somehow morally superior to others.”
The Catholic Church has the totality of Revelation, including much that the Protestants throw back in God’s Face with a snotty, “That’s not necessary for Salvation.”
I think God decides what we should have, and to reject His gifts is unbelievably arrogant.
“It isn’t either.”
Yeah? Well...well...so is your dad’s face. (Just to get into the spirit of the post to which I reply.)
UMMMmmm...
O...
K...
Just 'some' of them...
I'm glad that some Protestants ARE interested enough in the fruits of the Catholic heresy to bother!
Sorry; my bad.
By definition there CANNOT be anything that is heretical about CatholicISM; no matter WHAT it teaches or says.
It was here first, and by GOD! that fact along makes it correct.
Nonsense.
Everything we need to know for salvation and maturity in Christ is found in Scripture.
Anything ANY church adds to it is unnecessary.
