“All I said was that that particular post looked quite Catholic. “
Well, all Papists say that when I quote Augustine at them, since he is so clearly “Calvinistic” in his writing, (or, rather, Calvin is Augustinian?) that they don’t know how to react, since their religion has brainwashed them into thinking that such ideas could not have existed back then. So then they usually just sputter and start saying “I agree with that!” (happens every conversation!), even though they don’t.
“That is because no matter how hard you try, you guys are 60-80% Catholic, with some screws backwards.”
If that were true, how come you guys killed about 100,000 Calvinists in the Netherlands alone? Why did your Pope plead for the destruction of Geneva, if we are all 60-80% papists? And how come you won’t engage the scripture or my argument, to explain how your blatant contradiction of my words is really agreement, but are just doing your best to troll the heck out of me?
We did? That few? What a shame. Salvation being by grace alone dates from early Middle Ages:
the Catholic Church had explicitly affirmed the doctrine of sola gratia in the year 529 in the Council of Orange, which condemned the Pelagian heresy
Note that the Holy Church never affirms or condemns until there is a heresy raising up.
