I hear you brother. I’m a Catholic who catches hell because I’ve said I don’t recognize the Vatican or the authority of the Pope. I believe in The Holy Trinity. I suppose I’m a gnostic in the tradition of St. Thomas. In any event there isn’t anyone of this Earth who is going to tell me I’m not a Catholic. None of my detractors bought me into this world, they didn’t baptize me, they aren’t going to take me out of this world and they sure a shooting aren’t going to sit in judgement of me either.
That is not hell, that is the functional definition of a Protestant.
