Markos33:
I am a commmitted Catholic, yet I do recognize that at least with confessional Protestants, at least the ones who embrace the Creeds of the Church, have much in common with me, as an orthodox Catholic, with respect to Christology, etc, and on the moral questions of the day are many times natural allies in the cultural battles, than say some of my dissident Catholic brethren, who I still love by the way, but they need to turn away from their liberation liberal theology nonsense.
Again, my point here was to only point out the Catholic Doctrine is not rooted in “works of the law”, which over and over again, some folks here interested in polemics continue to say, but works in the context that I cited above rooted in Love of God and Neighbor, which are part of and due to faith, and both are because of God’s Grace.
So yes, you all ain’t all that bad. Also, are you a Southerner and perhaps an SEC football fan.
Think about it, if you knew me like God knows me, we wouldn't be corresponding right now.
And if I knew you like God knows you...we're that bad.
But you don't, and I don't, so we'll leave it at that.
You're very intelligent and I like to read your writings,
even though we don't agree on every thing.
By the way...what does condemned mean? Go Vols!
