“Unfortunately for Rome, there is none of the RCC sacerdotalism, mariolatry, ritualism, cultish behavior, ceremonial hoopla, hail marys, rosaries, penance, pergatory, indulgences, prada slippers, gold embroidered robes, etc. found in Paul’s writing. So, just read him through listening to his simple message of grace provided by Jesus, alone. You might swim back over the Tiber...if He permits.”
It’s always amazing to me how anti-Catholic bigots have to make things up out of thin air when they attack the Catholic Church. The Church has never practiced “mariolatry” but every anti-Catholic clearly practices stupidity.
Evidently we don’t have to watch this side of the Tiber in the near future. If that changes, my FRiend, and you would like to visit about the true Gospel, the unmerited favor of Christ absent all of the paraphrenalia of Rome, let us know. Many of the believers around here would be happy to help you learn about the message that rocked the world...without having to kiss Rome’s ring. I’ll give a few of them a heads up to watch for your inquiries should you change your mind. Again, assuming Jesus permits.
Hey Dutchboy88, what exactly do you think a “Hail Mary” is?
