They are being led away from the Truth, not because of the size of a congregation or where they worship, but quite simply because their doctrine is not the Truth. It's not Christ's teachings. It's not the teachings of the Church He entrusted with the Truth.

I'm sorry, but that is just the way it is. The fullness of Truth resides in the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church that Christ established sometime around the year 31 or 32 AD.

The further you move away from Catholic teaching, the further away from the full Truth you move. So Lutherans and Anglicans are pretty close to having the full Truth, while most Evangelicals, with their simplistic "faith and bible only" doctrines, are further away from the Truth, while cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian Science have gone off the deep end, into the world of heresy and pure lies.

Of course, that is not to say that Protestants don't have some of the Truth. Of course they do. They believe in the Trinity, that Christ was GOd, the importance of faith in Him, they read at least 80% of the real Bible (they leave out 7 Old Testament books). Even Jews, Muslims, and Hindus and Buddhists have some of the Truth. But it's what they are missing that makes all the difference.

Protestants are always coming onto Catholic threads, condescending to Catholics about how they follow Satan's doctrines, and how they worry about Catholics' souls. I just thought I'd let you know, without the insults and mocking, exactly how us Catholics feel about you Protestants. We are not moral relativists or multiculturalists. All sects are not equal or as valid. The Catholic Church is where the Truth lies, and the only place where the Truth lies.

The further you move away from Catholic teaching, the further away from the full Truth you move

So, hypothetically, if you and I read and committed to memory 100% of the exact same Catholic bible, and had 100% conmprehension, what is the difference by which you would have the fuller truth?

Thanks for sharing. The main thing that strikes me is your supreme hubris to presume to speak for Catholics as a whole.
