As a new poster, and a Catholic, I must say I am dissapointed in some of my co-religionists here.
I left Lucianne.com for its rabid anti-Catholicism only to find it and it's opposite in full bloom here.
Salvation is through Christ. We (Catholic and Protestant "Christians") share the most IMPORTANT aspect of that faith. Christ's divinity, death, defeat of sin and the resurrection. The rest is, relatively speaking, unimportant.
Lets not be arrogant (either group). We have enough common enemies.

"The rest is, relatively speaking, unimportant." You are entitled to your opinion. If more people thought that way we could all be protestants. It would make life easier.

Condemned as error by Pope Pius IX.
[It is an error to believe that] Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church.Encyclical "Noscitis," Dec. 8, 1849
