Do you remember the hootin' and hollerin' over Dominus Iesus?

I think it is inaccurate to characterize us Calflicks as saying, "and if [you] don't believe [us], and or the men [we] follow,there is no place in [our]Christianity for the rest of [you]."

If you are baptized with water and in the name of the Trinity, you have a place in the Church. I am not saying anything about the place of those who are NOT baptized with water and in the name of the Trinity.

There is a disagreement. Many of you hold, I think, that if we believed more of what you believe and less of what we believe we would be happier and less guilt-driven and hag-ridden and do more good and imperil our souls less with idolatries and blasphemies and the rest. And RCs think that if you came into communion with the See of Rome and availed yourself of the teachings and sacraments you would would be happier and do more good and imperil your souls less with self-worship and blasphemies and the rest.

That doesn't mean we think there is no place in the Church for you, or that you are in come kind of communion with the Church right now.

I don't know where the orthodox are on the baptized who are not Orthodox. But I suspect that they join with us filthy papists in trusting in God's saving will.

In the past my posts of this kind have generally been responded to with startling hostility and/or condescension. I'm bracing myself.

“I don’t know where the orthodox are on the baptized who are not Orthodox. But I suspect that they join with us filthy papists in trusting in God’s saving will.”

My Arabic speaking co religionists say “Inshallah”. So even if you papists bathe, we’ll leave it at that!
