“You compared giving a pectoral cross to some protestant as the same as giving a rosary to some protestant.”
No, I compared the effect - which is nil. No one has a change of station in life in regard to their soul because of an object given him by someone else.
“You’re comparison is wrong.”
Nope. My comparison was perfect. That’s why you can’t refute it.
“Every Catholic should know better.”
No Catholic can know better than the truth - and that’s exactly what I posted.
No. It is you who cannot refute the Catholic Encyclopedia’s definition of the pectoral cross and Pope Benedict’s abuse of such.
Wrong, again. The effect of giving a pectoral cross to a "bishop" in a heretical "church" is not "nil". It is cause for scandal and it confuses weak Catholics like some on this forum, to think Anglican clergymen have valid orders.
Pope Francis gave a rosary to Obama (who happened to immediately passed it off to Pelosi), but he did not give Obama a pectoral cross.
Pope Benedict never gave pectoral crosses to lay heads of state, why did he choose to give one to a heretic who dressed like a bishop?
