I’m trying to remember a thread posted by a Catholic attacking Protestant teaching, warning Protestants that they are going to Hell, etc.

There are hundreds of books still in print, by Protestants, making similar claims about the Catholic Church. There is no similar industry in the Catholic Church.

Why do so many Protestants feel compelled to produce this volume of complaints and condemnations about the Catholic Church, while Catholics seem to be able, by and large, to live in peace in a world that contains Protestants?

Why is it that the most learned Protestant theologians don’t publish volume after volume of vitriol against Catholics, but lesser-educated authors do?

There is a great asymmetry about all this that really needs explanation.

Vitriol? How ridiculous does it get?

Where do you see vitriol? I see lots of Scripture support as evidence of the truth concerning the heresies presented in Roman Catholicism. If you wish to follow that group of men, feel free. But, it is the Christian thing to present the Gospel in full accord with Scripture, not traditions of men. I already gave you that reference.

I think there may be some projection among your words! This thread can be ignored if you don't agree with the premise. But, your organization makes unsupported claims to authenticity, and spuriously says it is THE source of salvation. We get angry posts from your guys every day, but never anything to support the error?

Sorry! That whining doesn't become you!
