This is not an opportunity for Protestants to attempt to hijack a Caholic thread to instruct Catholics as to what Protestants imagine Catholics ought to believe. I don't tell you how to practice your faith. I don't need to be told how to practice mine.
I don't doubt that you are trying to share with Catholics what is most precious to you: your non-Catholic faith. Our common beliefs are far more numerous than our differences but, unless you convert to the Church of our ancestors (the RCC), our differences are still going to be our differences.
May God bless you and yours.

I missed the notation is the header stating "Catholics Only". Since when is open discussion and give-and-take refered to as "hijacking".
***I don't tell you how to practice your faith. I don't need to be told how to practice mine.***
I am not telling you how to practice your faith. I am asking questions as to what the basis for some of these beliefs are and seeking to obey the scriptrue which says, Test all things and hold fast to what is good."
