If the Catholic church is going to try to make claims about being the one and only true church, be the only accurate interpreter of Scripture, and claim spiritual authority over every church in the world, people are going to fight back.

That’s their opinion and if someone wants to agree with it and put themselves under the RCC authority, then fine, that’s their prerogative.

But telling everyone else in the world that they have to submit to Rome of burn for eternity?

No. That’s not true and we will not let that claim go uncontested.

It’s faith in Christ alone which saves, not joining a particular religious organization, no matter how old it claims to be or how much authority it claims to have based on it’s own tradition.

Sorry, but it works both ways. Fundamentalist Protestants and many “Bible-believing Christians” often claim loudly and publicly that Catholics are doomed to burn in hell for all eternity, that they're workers of iniquity, and that their church is the seat of the Antichrist.
It's readily apparent that several of the posters here would heartily agree with those sentiments.
So we're “fighting back”, but always with charity in mind, we hope. I know I fall short of that goal sometimes.

By the way, the official teaching of the Church is NOT that non-Catholics necessarily are lost. You should do a little research, you might be surprised at what you'll find.

"If the Catholic church is going to try to make claims about being the one and only true church, be the only accurate interpreter of Scripture, and claim spiritual authority over every church in the world,..."

Those that accept this are called Catholics, those that don't call themselves something else and spend too much time whining and hand wringing about something that they admit isn't any of their business.
