The problem with Protestants reading these Catholic issues and Catholic responses, is that you only think in Protestant terms. This issue is with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I’ve explained this earlier to one of your Protestant brethren at Post #42. Take a look at that and at least you’ll understand more clearly as to where and why we disagree. Quite frankly, I think the short answer is that I’m Catholic and you’re not.

Heck of an outreach plan you've got there.

Outreach should not mean one has to compromise the truth to win converts. The history of the Church, in fact, establish the very proof of that statement. For the 400 years preceding Vatican II the Catholic Church professed the true faith, and did so unflinchingly. There was never even the slightest thought of compromise by any of the earlier holy popes. As a result, in 1960 the Church was at its highwater mark in terms of every reasonable measure.

After Vatican II, which did all that “outreach” that Protestants and modernist Catholics like so much, and the wheels have all but fallen off the Church. Every measure that can be looked at to judge the success of a religion, membership, vocations, conversions, you name it, are in a tailspin.

So no, as a traditional Catholic I do not turn to Protestants or pay any attention to them as far as listening to advice in how to improve the catholic Church Catholic.

So yes, it actually is a great outreach plan. The truth always is.

Yup. Muslims included.

*Prots* not.
