When the pope calls for unity and conversion, he means all Christians submitting to the false doctrines of Roman Catholicism...oh yeah and to HIS authority.

If he truly means that Roman Catholics should prayerfully and humbly submit to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, eliminating all prayer to (or “with” as they claim) statues, saints, “Mary” (the “Mary” they pray to bears no resemblance to the humble woman of the Bible), worship of wafers, calling priests “Father” and even more blasphemously calling the “pope”, “Holy Father” (a name Jesus, used praying to His Father), the teaching of salvation by works, and dozens of other false doctrines and practices, then I apologize.

It sounds like you’ve made quite a few assertions. Time for you to back them with facts. Cold, hard, historical, objective facts. Ones that others can read for themselves, as opposed to the “global warming”-type of hoohah. IF you can. Otherwise, the phrase “whistling Dixie” comes to mind. Especially silly in a thread about Christian unity.

The early Christian martyrs died for the beliefs you, and other modernists, so callously ridicule.

"And this food is called among us the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, This do in remembrance of Me, this is My body; and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, This is My blood; and gave it to them alone."
--c. 140, St. Justin Martyr, beheaded c.165, addressed to the Roman Emperor.
