Religious pride is a stench in God's nose. When Jesus was on earth, the only group that He harshly rebuked were those blinded by their religious pride. I will place my faith in God's Word before any tradition of men. A church, any church, does not have the authority to save anyone. God is no respecter of persons. The authority the believer has in Christ is not subject to a title or denomination. It's subject to Christ the hope of glory working in the believer. With all respect to the Pope and my Catholic friends, to say we will achieve unity when all Christians become members of the R.C. Church is ridiculous on its face. It's like saying a marriage certificate makes a good marriage. In both cases, unity in Christ or a good marriage, the HEART is the heart of the matter. The fact remains that much of Roman Catholic doctrine is repugnant to non-Catholics - and vice-versa. Name calling from either side of the fence is counter-productive. Thank goodness the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches no longer have the authority to burn their perceived enemies.
