You just did.
Would that be as in the egregious fiercely UNBIBLICAL idolatrous topic/assertion threads started so chronically by the RC's?
Our beliefs are open to all inquirers and they are nothing like what you have blasphemed here in our name. I welcome honest inquisition and discussion. You have proven time and again on this thread that you are interested only in profaning what you will not understand.
Contrary to your methods, I have read and continue to read Protestant theology. One of my best friends and a man I respect more than any other is the pastor of a Bible Church. I nearly left the Catholic Church a few years ago due to this inquiry and the things I couldn't reconcile on my own with my cradle-Catholicism.
An honest and open-ended study of Scripture, history, and our early Church Fathers brought me back to the Bride of Christ. I was willing to follow the Spirit wherever led and I was led home to Rome. I am now a cradle-Catholic with the Spirit and passion of a convert to the faith. I know whereof I believe and can defend the same. I am not threatened by your theology and will walk with you to the depths of it and point out what I have learned that is so much richer and deeper. What I will not countenance is arrogant blashemy in the guise of religious discussion.
You reacted angrily earlier in this thread when another poster (Petronski, I think) took Alamo-Girl to task and yet you seem confounded that we would bristle at your characterizations of the Mother of Our Lord.
Once again, I enjoy conversing of Our Lord and His Church. Do not ping me with childish taunts.
Sure you do... You entertain the Queen of Heaven, Purgatory, Indulgences, Popedom, Eucharist, Homosexual priests and probably nuns, and the most famous sheep pen(John ch 10) of them all the Vatican..
Then there are the "icons/totems".. amulets(cross etc.), talismans and other RCC religious doo-dads.. which I admit other prostie conclaves(Angleican/Epistople) breath heavy over..
AM I CLEAN?.... Absolutely NOT.. for I am a heretic..
A BAD, BAD man.. a sinner really..
I need Jesus.. as my sin offering.. and he is...
The way I see it you are not too clean yourself..
Which IS the point..
