To correct another erroneous portrayal of "prods", I am not a coward either, nor do I have reason to believe that the other non-Catholics are either.
Nor are we fools. We are exercising discernment.
Thank you for reinforcing the wisdom of my decision.
INDEED TO THE MAX.
Well, our faith is not church-centered but relationship-centered, which is why evangelical unity transcends denomination. But re. IDs, its not 1555, when Paul IV issued a canon (papal law), Cum Nimis Absurdum, by which the Roman Ghetto was created. Jews were then forced to live in seclusion in a specified area of the rione Sant’Angelo, locked in at night, and he decreed that Jews should wear a distinctive sign, yellow hats for men and veils or shawls for women.

That’s good because I really don’t care where your recliner is located in the den.
It only serves to emphasize that each one of you considers what you interpret to be guided and correct.
What is also underscores is the fact that because each one of you(plural) considers yourself(plural) to be soley guided to make that sole interpretation and consider it WITHOUT ERROR that we know that each one has to hide the DISCRETE DIFFERENCES within each and every aspect of the interpretations, and there are difference in the interpretations because some are not Nicene, others omit other things and add some others that don’t belong to any other group.
You all claim Justification by faith alone, but the details are what count.
There are many things that a Christian must believe. Deviate and claim one of them is false or not according to their particular interpretation and
THE WHOLE EDIFICE IS BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER.
You can’t claim that YOUR interpretation that is guided by the Spirit is correct but your non-Catholic cohort’s is not
and be in accord with the Spirit’s guidance.
Discernment of what? Certainly not Scripture.
As much as prods accuse Catholics of presenting a moving target, the duplicitous ones are the prods who are afraid of having their denomination looked at.
As far as privacy goes? Please. Nobody cares who any of you are.
