That's the rub, though - you people don't get to define or demand what others proclaim and believe.

No I don't - but God does.

There's 2 points to this:

1) All 'we people' are doing is telling others what God has already said in His Word. "We' are not proclaiming new doctrines or new scriptures. While 'we' don't get to demand what others proclaim and believe - HE DOES.

2) Its a case of the pot calling the kettle black again. There are many catechisms within the RCC that do to Protestants what RCC's don't want done to them. The RCC proclaimed all of us heretics ages ago and still have not rescinded any of the decrees of the Council of Trent.

So the real rub here is the RCC gets to make up its own doctrines as it goes along, disregard the Scriptures where necessary or add new ones where necessary (I would remind you the Apocrypha was never accepted canon of Scripture even within the Catholic Church until the Council of Trent in the 16th century),then label anyone who disagrees with her decrees as heretics, and act 'offended' should someone have the audacity to show them their many errors through the Word of God itself.

I wonder if God considered Noah, Abraham, the prophets, the Apostles as bitter harpies???? God's message isn't popular you know, so its not surprising those on the wrong side of His message would resent that message and consider those proclaiming it to be 'bitter harpies'. Call me names all you want to, I stand in some pretty good company, so I don't mind. :)
