To the contrary, I answered the question - just not the black and white way you wanted. I don't condemn.

I don't condemn.

What about infanticide, genocide, Satanism? How deep does your relativism go?

FWIW, I was born into Mormonism. It was something over which I had no control. But I can say with assurance that the Holy Spirit led me while I was a Mormon. He eventually led me away from Mormonism and I can say with assurance that he has brought me to where I am today.

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. (Psalms 23:1-2 KJV)

If the Lord is your shepherd he will lead you beside the still waters. You'll get there as long as you let HIM lead.

Frankly, I don't know what all this fuss is about. No one is saying that Catholics are not being led by the Holy Spirit, but they seem to insist that everyone else is being led by the devil. If there is a schism in Christianity it is because the RCC insists that it, and it alone, is the arbiter of truth. IMO, those who make that contention leave no room for the working of the Holy Spirit.

Some of our Catholic friends seem to think that we protestants have no unity of fellowship, which, of course, is nonsense. When your focus is on Christ, then you have fellowship will all believers who are so focused. When your focus is on your particular sect or church, then you have no fellowship with those who are not so focused.
