It is a sweeping statement indeed, this is why no one should act offended. There are conservative Protestants and there are liberal Catholics. The question is, which religion is fundamentally liberal and which is fundamentally conservative, and, as I explained in #35 and prior couple of posts, Catholicism is conservative because it refers to the immutable 2,000 years old authority of the Church, and Protestantism is liberal because it starts with a literal premise of individual interrpetation of the Scripture. We conserve, you scatter.
“Catholicism is conservative because it refers to the immutable 2,000 years old authority of the Church, and Protestantism is liberal because it starts with a literal premise of individual interrpetation of the Scripture. We conserve, you scatter.”
No my friend. The Protestant Reformation attempted to save what was Catholic and scattered. The Church you have now was not always as it is. Protestants made you fix what was broken in your Church, in the process, we found something good, too.
We should both be happy and thankful for the Protestant movement.
Catholicism is liberal.
It changes dogma via the Magisterium, and in the process wandered away from the Orthodox, and then forced the Reformation by a string of power hungry Popes who taxed the living daylights out of everything in true Obama fashion, while believing they were God’s representative on earth - in true Obama fashion.
See how easy it is?
Calling names is much easier than thinking. But neither you nor Vlad impress anyone by doing so.
