That's because we have a commonality...We may not agree on some details but we are basically in unity as it comes to salvation, as Jesus desired...

LOL. This is such a lie, that I seriously hope you don't yourself believe it.

Just to give three examples: Baptists, Episcopalians, and Church of Latter Day Saints are about as far apart as you can get without rejecting Christ as our savior. They are each individually closer to the Catholic Church in teaching than they are to each other, with perhaps the exception of LDS, which is frankly out to lunch.

Just about the ONLY thing that unites them, other than belief in Jesus Christ, is their rejection of the Catholic Church. That's really the one thing all PROTEST-ant sects have in common -- their PROTEST against the Mother Church established by Our Lord, the Catholic Church.

If anyone wants testimony with regard to the authority of the Catholic Chuch, just watch what the rebels constantly and persistently attack. It's plain to see on FR -- that target is the Catholic Church. Dost thou protest too much? The target of the reprobates is the one, True Church. Gives it away every time.

Mormons are far closer to you than to us...They have their own scriptures as you have your own tradition...They, like you, are the one true church...

I admit, I shouldn't say Protestant...I should say non-Catholic...The Episcos and Anglicans are Catholics without a pope...

Ping for later

The LDS do not believe in Jesus. They use the name, but they define Jesus in a way that denies everything that Christians believe. Jesus is not the brother of Satan, and we will not someday be Gods of our own little world...

It would take a long post to discuss...I lived in Utah for 6 years, and had many LONG talks with Mormons.

You take yourself way toooo seriously. Nobody sits around thinking of ways to reject the catholic church.

What unites us is our love for Jesus and desire to share that love with others.
