“Again with the pettiness!”

Wow. You complained there was no link. I pointed out there was one, noted that it was not active, but was still there. I also noted that not noticing it was there - when it is so obvious that it is there if you read the quote - is ironic in light of your comment about “minute details”? And you’re calling that “pettiness”? Details obviously matter.

“Like I said, you didn’t use an objective OR honest source.”

So you claim. Your claim simply doesn’t matter to me.

“Had you done that, instead of relying upon something you read from a Roman Catholic “apologetics” site, you would have known the truth instead of a pathetic attempt to once again smear all NON-Roman Catholic Christians with attacking Luther.”

I’m not “Roman Catholic”. I’m just Catholic. And I know many Catholics who are not members of the Roman Church but are members of the Melkite, of Byzantine, or the Russian Orthodox Church in Communion with Rome, and other Catholic Churches. If you feel Protestants are smeared, I don’t care. Luther is your sect’s spiritual father. That’s not my problem. It’s yours.

“It doesn’t help with that credibility part - if that matters to you.”

In your eyes, no.

I guess to anti-Protestant bigots who refuse to acknowledge there are Christians who don't identify as "Protestant", it's a detail that doesn't matter. How many times do people have to explain to you that Luther is NOT their "spiritual father" before you let go of that canard? If you were as educated as you claim to be, you would already know that Martin Luther was FAR from being the first or only person behind the Reformation. If you were being at all objective you would acknowledge that there are and have always been Christians who existed outside of the Roman Catholic church even when Rome declared all of creation must be subject to the Pope of Rome.

You claim you aren't a "Roman" Catholic? If you are part of the Latin rite, you certainly are and those other "rites" that are "in communion with Rome" are as well. It's all a semantics game. I'm surprised you would try that here. That IS your problem, not mine. In the meantime, I as well as millions of other Christians will continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ unhindered by the accursed gospel of Roman Catholicism. THAT is the fullness of the faith!
