I don’t even know if I’ve known such a one in the past. I sure can’t think of a single Protty that fits that description amongst over a thousand in my social network currently.

Fascinating RC fantasy. Did this one come WITH or WITHOUT an accompanying Mary apparition?

I have no problem with the Roman Catholic Church. Have received 5 of the 7 sacraments in the Church. My problem resides in two Popes who both went by the name Pius talking in a presumed infallible way close to two thousand years after the fact. My testing of the spirits came out negative.

If you do not follow the Church, then you either make up your theology or you adopt someone else’s. And I find, wandering through the various theologies that make up the Protestant tapestry that they are tailored to the founder’s (or subsequent leaders’) personal inclinations.

Calvin, for instance, was hard and flinty and his theology reflected it. Wesley, on the other hand, was a mild man, who loved people. His theology reflected it. Joseph Smith was a con artist who fooled people and his theology reflected it. The Campbells wanted leadership especially the son. And so on.

The claim is a personal relationship with Jesus. The evidence is the construction of God in one’s own image.
