you know, that old argument isn't working for you anymore.
of the 140 million charismatic Catholics out there, each having left or never joined the "One" Catholic church as it's so frequently called, and reportedly left because they are spiritually starving to death, which of them has the "correct" interpretation?
Some of them are charismatic Marions, who elevate Mary above everything, and others of them, decry Mary worship and seek to elevate Christ. One group treasures beads, idols and icons, the other group is fervantly against them, throwing them out and breaking them in their church services.. A large number of them don't obey the pope or any of the heirarchy? Which group is correct? They're all Catholics, approved of by 3 popes.
Source?
lol. The "argument" never worked for Rome. Coercion, fear and superstition worked for Rome.
As you rightly noted, less and less these days.
Amen.

Based on your post and that I’ve seen on the religious threads I have to agree the catholic church is as divided on what they will or not adhere to as the protestants.
The difference I see is the protestants pretty much agree across the board on the basic tenants of the faith. It would seem some catholics do and others do not..the issue of mary is one of them and that of Christ’s position of authority in the church is another...others too but these are most concerning to me because to adhere to these does dethrone Christ from His rightful place...as do some who attach too much to the various idols and images of departed saints etc.
