"Why should I bother? Your list was incoherent, and was just bating for responses. I don’t have to sit back here and figure out some new interpretation of scripture to defend Catholic doctrine."

My list was incoherent? Let me try again and see if this is more coherent...no such thing as absolution of sin, no such thing as indulgences, no such thing as purgatory, no such thing as sacerdotalism, no such thing as popery, no such thing as the seven sacraments, no such thing as Mariolatry, no such thing as gold-covered cathedrals, no such thing as transubstantiation...whew. If that is incoherent, then we are going to get you some reading lessons for Christmas. Just find any of this in the Bible and we are listening.

>>>no such thing as absolution of sin<<<

Take this for example. You’ve not bothered to represent what Catholic teaching is. You’ve placed a term out into space which can easily be interpreted into ANYTHING.

It is therefore just a soundbite to bait someone with an axe to grind. A Catholic might as well just call you Nestorians and or Gnostics and possibly not even Christian (If you don’t practice the sacrament of baptism). None of those before mentioned words, without a context, have the power to convince. Given the likelihood of convincing anyone on the internet, that’s going to be rare.

But you’re just troll baiting anyway. Your words are just those of a scoffer, which scripture tells people not to pay attention to anyway.
