Isn't it ironic how whenever a former Roman Catholic tries to discuss their disagreement with certain Roman Catholic doctrines and reasons for leaving, they are accused of trying to “scrape off the indelible mark” of Roman Catholicism? It is never simply that we have valid reasons for rejecting what was forced on us at birth or that we have come to saving faith in Jesus Christ that we didn't know as Roman Catholics. I think the intent is to ambush any disagreements by accusations of wrong motives. It doesn't work, but that won't stop some from trying.

I think we simply need to go way back and understand who it is that wants to keep souls from committing themselves to Jesus alone. Any time we trust in something other than Jesus it detracts from our commitment to Him. When the praise and glory that belongs to Him is given to another the enemy rejoices.

Of course, since it is falsely presupposed that one needs the assuredly infallible magisterium to correctly know what is of God.
