I think that most of them have determined that the god in the mirror is where they ought to be paying attention. Just imagine this: a room full of liberals. Is there any difference to a room full of mirrors, or a room full of antiCatholics? All mirroring the other, with no substance, and no meaning.

What a laugh. If a Catholics disagrees with official church doctrine, he is damned to hell. The beliefs of each and every one of them MUST conform to the church, no individuality allowed. Carbon copies of each other.

And you say that Protestants *mirror* each other? LOL!!!!!

Anyone can believe anything they like, no problem, free country. But in order to call themselves Catholic with any credibility, and in order to receive the sacraments, they must accept Catholic teaching. There are some areas of Catholic teaching that are left to the individual conscience, and some where agreement is required for participation in the Eucharist.

The church does not "damn anyone to hell." That is so ugly as to be worth calling putrid protestantism. Capital punishment and just wars are just two of the areas where good Catholics can disagree. This has been argued up and down these threads for literally years, the error of your post has been declared multiple times, no wonder few of us think you have ever been Catholic, any Catholic would know better.

However, you cannot be a Catholic in communion with the Church and believe in abortion, same-sex marriage, ordination of owomen, fetal stem cell experimentation, so these are pretty much core Catholic issues where no Catholic can disagree and still bear the name. Which of these do you insist on disagreeing with the Church?

Lutherans have core beliefs, so do presbyterians, so do even the squishy Methodists. Those are not interchangeable denominations. Sola scriptura evangelicals vary widely in their interpretations, and no I will not give you examples, and numbers of all yall have condemned Catholics to hell, so, pardon me if I don't take that too seriously, being an idolator and all. /sarc

John 17: 20 And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me; 21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

There is one God and one Gospel. Not the gospel that the image in the mirror has.

And you say that Protestants *mirror* each other? LOL!!!!!

In their methodologies and in their repudiation of the Church that Jesus Created and the Holy Spirit Commissioned at Pentecost, sure.

Are you the same poster who complained that the Church didn't have a line by line "official" interpretation for all of Scripture, or was that someone else.
