The difference which is pretty clear to anyone reading this thread is that when Christians criticize the RCC,

Hold it! The word "Christians" is set up in the sentence to indicate opposition to "RCC" when in fact, the first and only Christians for 1500 years were Catholic.

those criticisms involve the anti-Scriptural beliefs and practices of the RCC,

Just a cotton-pickin minute here! That statement assumes (yes, big mistake to "assume") that the beliefs and practices of the "RCC" -- a shorthand meaning Catholic Church -- are somehow anti-Scriptural. The author of this "assuming" post has not established anything of the kind.

whereas the "strong language" you seem to employ is simply name-calling.

Heh. Makes no sense.

There's no core to your argument. No discussion of faith, practices, beliefs, perspectives, ideology, theology, etc.

Likewise, no core to your argument. No discussion of faith, practices, beliefs, perspectives, ideology, theology, etc. Pot kettle black, as usual.

This is a typical Dr. Eckleburg post which makes no actual argument, but simply makes unsupported assertions with no actual reasoning involved.

(yes, big mistake to "assume")

No, it's not always a "mistake" to assume. Not when all evidence points to a consistent, glaring conclusion.

Here is a handy web page I just found...
