To: Elsie; All

I saw your post about “old coots” having the time to post here.

I am not an old coot.

I really don’t have the time to keep explaining. And now I know that you’re just arguing because you have nothing else to do.

All I can say is that your comments, and many of the comments of your protestant friends here, have only served to reinforce my Catholic faith. So, I guess I should thank you for that. ;-)

In the meantime, I’m through with explaining to you because it’s quite obvious that YOU DON’T WANT TO understand Catholic doctrine.

In this whole discussion, one truth has been revealed to me: Your entire faith is based on the “protest” of its mother faith. Without the Catholic Church, there wouldn’t be PROTESTants. Hence, you spend your time arguing and protesting.

But I don’t have to do that. So, that’s it. Goodbye.

You almost convince me to become Catholic...

I would have hoped that The words of your religion's early leaders would have SOME kind of effect on you.

Time will tell.

Or the BIBLE...



Matthew 16:13-18
 
 
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"  
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."  
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"  
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,  the Son of the living God."  
Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.   And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades  will not overcome it.    I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be  bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Sonny (I can say that to a NON-old coot; can't I?); your DOCTRINE has been posted here.

I'll let the lurkers 'understand' it.

Quotes from past Catholic leaders have been posted here.

I'll let the lurkers 'understand' that as well.

The disparities between Rome's claims and the Bible's clear teaching has been posted here.

The jury can make up it's own mind without me having to link to yet another convoluted 'explanation' of what is REALLY meant.
