>> If that were the definition then neither the Romanists nor the Orthodox could be defined as Catholic since they’ve added to what was handed down from the apostles. Maybe something like Post-Catholic would be appropriate. <<

That is, according to Your Own Personal Interpretation Of Scripture. You CLAIM that the Catholic Church added to the bible, because you don’t find Catholic theology consistent with your own interpretations, but if, for example, the Nicene Council consisted of innovations rather than mere formulations, how is it that cultures far beyond the scope of the Nicene Council (India, Ethiopia, etc.) are if anything far, far further from Protestantism than the Nicene Churches?

Silly Protestant, you’re really just following new-age Gnostics and you’re too ignorant of history to know it.

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
