Forget that Catholic stuff. The thread needs to know just what each individual non catholic poster believes. The intro of New Age space cadets changes the entire landscape.
All along I blamed the poor misguided protestants. Sorry Martin and sorry Calvin
What about a prearranged power hour of truth where each non Catholic divulges his/her spiritual treasures and can pick a jury of peers to make remarks

Throughout the entire 2000 years of Christianity, many people have tried to pry open a crack that would let them circumvent or change the rules to suit themselves. Martin Luther simply flung the door open. Without Luther, there would be no Calvin, for instance. Without Calvin, there would be no Knox. Without Knox there would have been no Puritans and state religions put into place in 18th century America. Also, there would have been no Restoration movement, no LDS, no Pentecostals, no Worldwide Church of God, no Raelians and so on.
With each succeeding movement, the innovations simply got wilder and crazier. Do you think that Scientology could have succeeded in a Catholic world, for instance?
That’s the thing — there are no Lutherans or Anglicans or Methodists on this thread. There are no Southern Baptists or indeed any mainstream Protestant grouping. I don’t know which group metmom belongs to, so she may be the exception, but besides this, the thread (like all anti-Catholic threads) is populated with those who beleive in Unitarianism, in FourSquare cultism, everything except mere Christianity.
