I've always love the smugness of Roman Catholics who really have left the true faith of the early fathers.

They're called Protestants.

The early fathers had no problem in deciding what was inerrant and infallible scripture and what wasn't. Funny, when claiming what was inerrant, they selected just a few books of scriptures.

Which Scripture was declared inerrant and in what language?And what makes you think that you have that interpretation correct?

Do you still believe the holy decrees of the 4th Lateran Council of 1215 that says you should go and fight for the Holy Lands?

Why not? You guys don't and never have. You guys were willing to let the Muslims take Europe as long as they'd let you have some small territory of your own. It was the Catholics that stopped the Muslims in Austria - the Protestants were allies and attempted to help - the Hungarian Protestants even fought with the Muslims against Vienna.

The Orthodox rejects the Nicene Creed, the infallibility of the Pope, and the blasphemous interpretation of Mary; yet Roman Catholics see no problem in reconciliation.

And what do you know of Orthodoxy? Or Roman Catholicism? Not these little tidbits.

Truth is Roman Catholics have changed the interpretation of the atonement, of faith, of grace, of judgment, and just about every other major doctrine. There really isn't anything left of Christianity in Roman Catholicism except funny hats and lots of pomp. And those weren't Christian either.

All the way back to the beginning, the Catholic Church is the original Christians and, given what we see posted here day after day, the only Christians.

It would almost be laughable if it wasn't such a pity. Yet we are reminded of the billions of Catholics around the world who interject pagan rituals into mass. And we are led to believe this is OK.

The Mass is a worship of God. Protestant services generally aren't - they are a praise of the pastor. You want examples? And all these Protestants believe that this is OK.

Mark -- good point about how the Calvinists fought alongside Moslems trying to enable Islam to conquer the bulwark of Christianity in the 1600s -- Vienna

The followers of Calvin proved themselves as enemies of Christianity

Imre Thököly, the leader allied himself with the Turks against Christians

It was only in 1686 that the Holy League's army, containing over 74,000 men from various nations, reconquered Buda from the Turks. The entire Kingdom of Hungary was removed from Ottoman rule by 1718.

Mark: They're called Protestants.

LOL, how true! :)

I believe Jerome put that together if I'm not mistaken.

And what makes you think that you have that interpretation correct?

I wasn't the one who believed you could pay money to get your love ones out of purgatory, now was I? What makes you think the Cardinals got it right?

You guys were willing to let the Muslims take Europe as long as they'd let you have some small territory of your own. It was the Catholics that stopped the Muslims in Austria

Please let me know when you plan on making your trip to retake the Holy Lands. OOPS-I forgot that the Pope "kissed" and made up. It kind of makes you wonder which Pope was the "infallible" sort, doesn't it?

All the way back to the beginning, the Catholic Church is the original Christians and, given what we see posted here day after day, the only Christians.

I'd suggest a review of the seven churches of Revelations. If they were all under one roof of the Catholic Church, God did not have very nice things to say about them.

Call me OBAMA!

I've listened to hundreds of sermons from Protestant pastors, and somehow I've failed to hear what you just claimed.
