Protestants and Sola Scriptura

Quix/Petro/others, it is disengenuous to post articles that oppose others and expect those others not to respond.

To the extent that Protestants post articles detailing or couching their opposition to Catholicism, a protestant is out of touch with reality if he expects Catholics won’t respond.

One would hope for arguments based mostly on fact, but, on the other hand, anyone surprised at seeing occasional emotional responses probably isn’t that committed to their own faith.

This is the “town-square” type of thread, if I am not mistaken.

I'm sure most Protestants believe they are committed to their faith.

I can understand why ‘someone’ might not be able to handle more than one laughing dog per post.

Is that why you are only allowed one gif per post?

Or are there other reasons that I’m about to catastrophically learn about...

And unless we all start acting like grownups, the RM just might lock this thread too.

Childish behavior

Lets all grow up a little bit.

Thanks.

That kind of thing will end when the anti-Catholic fetishism subsides.

[Judith Anne]

Borat.

[Judith Anne]

I’m sorry, I hit the post button in error too soon.

I meant to say “Borat comes to mind.”

[Petronski]

I know of no "one-gif-per-post" rule:

[xzins]

meaning??

[Fichori]

Are you saying that you will continue to be childish until the anti-catholic fetishism ends?

At first glance, it appears that what you were saying.

Perhaps you should clarify.

[Fichori]

I have seen Borat mentioned, but thats all I know.

[Fichori]

"meaning??"

General heads up.

I just pinged everyone who had posted in the last bit.

[Judith Anne]

Never mind. Not important.

Ah, kids.

[trisham]

LOL!

[Petronski]

I will clarify, since you have falsely accused me of childishness.

When the anti-Catholic fetish subsides, and false posts about what I believe have ended, the combative tone will subside.

I envision the religion forum as a European cafe where folks of differing beliefs gather to discuss philosophy (in this case, more specifically: theology). We can go point for point for hours on end, often with voices raised, but in any case each speaking about why their belief is more faithful to Scripture, etc. Great stuff, and highly educational.

But some of the things said about Catholicism over the years I have been here have been all about Catholics being told what they believe--falsely.

It's not "Why isn't what you do a deification of Mary?" or "If I did what I think Catholics do, I'd be worshiping her."

No.

Instead, its "Catholics worship Mary, their Catechism deifies her." False and False. (And that is but ONE example.)

And this does not mention the vicious insults hurled from the bleachers.

---

Finally I figured out that this is not the quaint cafe I wish it was, it is a town square, and it has been made what it is by those who figured out long before me precisely what is permitted in this square.

Now that I know, I am bringing it in kind.

Welcome to the town square.

If you don't like my tone, all I can say is "I did not make the soup, I only serve the soup."

[Petronski]

Ah, retreads.

[Petronski]

Whoops, wrong forum.
