So, to be a Christian you have to subscribe to the junk produced by the Council of Nicea under the auspices of the Roman Empire?
What a hoot!
Don’t you have anything better? Like maybe a faith in God, acceptance of Jesus Christ as your personal savior? Little things that are actually in the Bible?
Just asking! and commenting of course.
Not so long ago people were saying that anti-Catholicism was going the way of the dinosaur. If so, it looks like the dinosaur has made an unexpected comeback, because anti-Catholicism is healthier and more widespread now than it has been for years.
Since the late 1970s several new anti-Catholic organizations have been founded, and some older ones have been revitalized. A partial lineup includes Chick Publications, Mission to Catholics International, Lumen Productions, Research and Education Foundation, Osterhus Publishing House, Christians United for Reformation (CURE), Harvest House, and Bob Jones University Press. Combined they turn out more anti-Catholic tracts, magazines, and books than ever beforemillions of copies each year.
When one reads enough of this material, one becomes aware that the same points tend to be made by different writers in the same way, even in the same words. Who is borrowing from whom? It doesnt seem that any of these groups relies very heavily on any other. Instead, they all fall back on one source, Loraine Boettners work, Roman Catholicism, a book first published in 1962 by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company of Philadelphia and reprinted many times since.
This book is the origin of much of what professional anti-Catholics distribute. It can be called, to use a phrase that might rankle some, the "Bible" of the anti-Catholic movement.
