Here it is from an online version: Q. Did God abandon man after he fell into sin?
A. God did not abandon man after he fell into sin, but promised him a Redeemer, who was to satisfy for man's sin and reopen to him the gates of heaven.

BTW No Protestant I know would call this "protestant doctrine"

Apparently whole generations of Catholics learned official, approved false doctrine in their Catholic schools.. How could that happen if the Holy Spirit leads the church ? maybe he left huh?

Thanks to all the CAtholics who have posted on this thread and provided so much good for me to ponder—I can’t go through the whole list of you but all of you are special.

I’m bowing out of this thread. I think it’s on life support now. It reminds me of that famous line from “Princess Bride”: “It’s down to you and down to me”.

I will be taking a vacation from the forum for a while.

May God bless us all and keep us ever in the palm of His hand.

The greatest of these is Love.
