"Show us where hatred of Jews is embodied in Protestant *dogma*."

Had I accused you of lying some old anti-Catholic bag would have issued me an unofficial warning while at the same time reporting an abuse. Looks like you chose the right target for your invective to avoid any such intervention.

It didn't say antisemitism was part of Protestant dogma, I was using the inconsistent between the absence of it in contradiction to Luther's teachings as an example of Protestant duplicity. The point I was making was that believing Luther, and the other fathers of the Reformation, is a hit or miss proposition. Making it, like the Protestant proclamations on the relative importance and interpretation of Scripture a personal choice.

The bottom line is that there was nothing divine or special about Luther. He was a political pawn whose primary mission was not "reforming" the Church, but rather giving cover to those who coveted the accumulated wealth and property of the Church. In that he was successful.

"since when do Catholics think that Protestants have dogma?"

Dogma is nothing more than a doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church. The major branches of Protestantism do indeed have dogma. What you, on the other hand appear to have is closer to a "gestalt".

And you know that how? With your bias against Luther. Look around, Luther did the job he was called to do! And, thus, the gates of hell shall not prevail HIS Church. One should be happy that Truth is there when one is ready to accept it. Look what doing God's will DID for you...

Mark 4:22 "For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

Matthew 10:26 "So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known."

Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

Luke 12:2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

Ah, yes, darkness does not like light! God's will WILL BE DONE - to expose the darkness as the gates of hell will NOT prevail against His Church. Thank You, Jesus!
