Actually, I only know a few Catholics who I've met of late since deciding the Catholic Church is right and no matter who doesn't like it, it is the One True Church founded by Christ Himself and entrusted to His Apostles. The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church teaches the same things today it has taught ever since Pentecost. Not a single one of the Self Alone groups that grew out of the Self focused revolt against the One True Church still exists as it did at that time and none of the tens of thousands of fragments those Self centered doctrines have bred teaches all of Christianity as it was taught by Christ and His Apostles. That's not anti-Protestant a bit and the fact I that spend the majority of my time with Lutherans and Southern Baptists rather than Catholics hadn't crossed my mind. I really do need to spend more time with Catholic folks, you're right about that much at least.
What I am is very much against those pretending to be Protestant Christians but who are in reality not Christian, not Protestant, and not anything else except Self Centered anti-Catholics cooperating with the humanist crowd to fragment non-Catholics and constantly attack Catholics.
The fact is, the only place I run into those who claim a) to be Christian, and b) to be Protestant Christians, and who cannot live without attacking the Catholic Church while claiming to infallibly interpret Scripture as they take their daily walk across the surface of the local lake, is right here. Here those who insist they are not anti-Catholic in the least ignore every one of the openly anti-Cathlic liars even when they insist that Christ was not fully human and fully God. At the very least, its interesting that such an assertion seems to bother so few non-Catholic folks. Obviously, they ignore the known numbskulls and just stay on the sidelines most of the time although now and then the numbskulls do wonder into a thread they didn’t start and are quit clearly put in their place by some of the many fine non-Catholic Christians who frequent FR.
"But neither are we to sit docile in the midst of the constant (and i meant constant) promotion of teachings of Rome and here as the one true Church©. "
Well isn't that sweet, you can't remain docile in the face of history. Do you also refuse to remain docile when someone says the Moors once ruled Spain or that there was a revolution in Russia in 1917?
"But if your defense of Rome means that you cannot engage anti-Catholics who seek to stick with real issues, and allow they can have sincere reasons for doing so, without you resorting to your manner of response at issue, then continue to do as you have. "
I don't defend "Rome" , do recognize the use of “Rome” rather than Catholic is a deliberate slur, and only defend the Catholic Church when someone posts an article attacking it. Something those who each have their own “Christian in Name Only" religion, deny the Deity of Christ, and consider Christmas and Easter both to be pagan holidays, can't seem to resist posting in an endless cycle repeating the same handful of lies as topics and using thinly veiled repetitions of anti-Cathlic lies from a popular comic books series as their primary source. Each and every one continues to repeat lies from sources long after many posters have produced more than adequate proof that their sources are lies. Lies from sources that have been debunked as lies not only by Catholics, but by academics who are shocked that shoddy research mixed with fantasy is accepted as nonfiction material are only repeated by liars, right?.
Such folks routinely slander not just the Catholic Church, but with their non-Christian definition of Christianity they slander all Christians, as well. Such is the result of those who each and every one interpret Scripture for themselves. Side with such folks, continue your own personal argumentation and discussion, while ignoring the lies and total fabrications mixed in with your comments, never even take notice of or correct those lies and fabrications, and it's obvious that simply not "remaining docile" is the least of your objectives. Joining liars and ignoring their lies is collaboration with those liars, not some sort of aloofness. As for not being Catholic? Fine with me, I'm not the Holy Spirit. Those who sincerely study Christianity will become Catholic or Orthodox if they are not now, and if they do not, may God have mercy on their souls.
So much for one borderline pseudo-answer that very carefully avoids distancing yourself from the professional liars who routinely post slanders against Christ, Christianity, and the Catholic Church. I like the, "some of my best friends are black folks" non-denial denial that you do in fact believe the Pope will be the AntiChrist or the prophet of the AntiChrist, too. It must hurt to attempt such verbal tap steps when you only know how to polka and square dance.
Now, do you agree with those who say both Christmas and Easter are pagan holidays, and how can you possibly object to anything anyone says they get from Scripture since you advocate and practice self interpretation of Scripture?
I began to reply, but it quickly became apparent that you are back on your 4,000+ word breathless diatribe and diversive interrogation again, and still fail to interact with my post which examined the doctrinal premise behind your SS strawman, etc. And as you indicate you have too much venom to deal reasonably and objectively with the doctrinal issues, then i have no interest in more attempts do so with you but will await certain other Catholics who may be want to do so.
Over and out.
