Well, this is the difference from the Catholic perspective and Protestant perspective. From the Catholic perspective they put it out for a vote as to what dogma to believe. Whatever one gets the highest vote wins. From a (true Reformed) Protestant perspective we are not allowed to speculate-at least officially. I can sit here and come up with all sorts of ideas, but in the end all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say, “It’s a mystery.” Where the Bible speak, I can speak. Where the Bible is silent, I can’t say. It may be rather anti-climaxtic but in the end we can’t formulate doctrine on things that may not be true-even if it won the most votes.

Whydot you, for once, get busy with you own faith and quit telling Catholics your delusions about how theirs works?
