Why should the opinions of an Anglican priest matter? He's not a Protestant. If you cannot even name what those "novel" or "false" doctrines are, what's the point of your continued comments? You've made no secret of your contempt and disgust of "Protestants" and "Protestantism". Using Free Republic's Religion Forum for your own personal diatribe soapbox seems like a waste of time if you think anyone will be swayed by such tactics. They won't be. It's just that simple!
“Why should the opinions of an Anglican priest matter?”
Well, he’s a notable scholar - as recognized by everyone.
“He’s not a Protestant.”
Anglican = Protestant. Hence, in America, the former name of the Anglican Church was “Protestant Episcopal Church”.
“If you cannot even name what those “novel” or “false” doctrines are, what’s the point of your continued comments?”
I can name them. I see no reason to name them other that to say “His” since it is well known what doctrines he invented.
“You’ve made no secret of your contempt and disgust of “Protestants” and “Protestantism”.”
Actually Protestantism and Protestant anti-Catholics. The average Protestant is just a well-meaning person who doesn’t know better.
“Using Free Republic’s Religion Forum for your own personal diatribe soapbox seems like a waste of time if you think anyone will be swayed by such tactics.”
I think that is a very telling comment coming from someone who has - over the years - spent hundreds and hundreds of hours posting anti-Catholic comments.
“They won’t be. It’s just that simple!”
Actually, two Protestants, both anti-Catholics too, have converted that I know of. I only know this because they told me. This was while I was posting elsewhere before FreeRepublic but I posted in the same fashion that I do here. Also, many Catholics private message me about how much they appreciate my defense of the faith. Your comments about my supposed tactics of whether or not they sway anyone are completely irrelevant to me.
