Don’t non-protestants also do the things they were accused of?
You totally missed the point.
You realize that was a response to #52, not that you would ever let that get in the way. All I see from Catholics on religion threads is vile and nasty attacks against non-Catholics, against we infidel dogs. You might as well start issuing fatwas.
(sorry but this is going to ramble on and on because these attacks on Christians makes me mad)
Somehow those who follow Jesus and believe in HIM aren’t good enough for you. They must bow down to totems, idols, relics, ancestors, dead mortal humans, 45,000 dead people who aren’t Jesus are prayed to, pick a “saint”, they come in many flavors. No, the followers of Jesus and his WORD aren’t good enough, they must become part of a bureaucratic nightmare that worships tradition, sends up pink smoke from Rome and what-not.
Meanwhile Jesus and HIS word becomes an ever smaller and less important part of what you call your “faith”.
............
At least I do not put 45,000 “saints” ahead of Jesus
Catholicism has many many flavors too, if you were not too BLIND to notice. You have your myriad groups and factions, some all-out socialists. You claim to be the one “true” church but it seems like everyone prays to a different “saint” to bug Jesus for them, since Jesus is hard of hearing or something. Who needs protestantism when you can have your choice of “saints” (who are dead mortals and nothing more)
As a matter of fact every insult and accusation thrown at “prots” and “protties” and “filthy mongrels” fits the Catholic Church just as well. That’s all.
The Catholic Church, home of the 45,000 flavors and the so-called “45,000” protestant denominations can be equated quite easily. “But they aren’t real Catholics” you say, but you refuse to hear “Those aren’t real Christians” on the non-Catholic side.
Can you not open your eyes to see and your ears to hear? Not me, see and hear yourselves. Catholics on FR have become a closed feedback loop, whatever blasphemy has become accepted “tradition” is good because it’s Catholic and all else is wrong.
Where Catholicism and the Bible differ, the Bible is wrong. Where Catholicism and Jesus differ, Jesus must be wrong too. If the Pope hails the Anti-Christ then those who deny the Anti-Christ will be your new heretics.

At least I do not believe that dead mortal humans are more powerful than Jesus
“intercessors”... lol
Is your Jesus hard of hearing?
Oh wait, this is a church that thinks “tradition” is sacred. Hey, it ain’t Biblical but we’ve been doing it for so long it’s tradition now!
Put away your totems, your traditions, your devotion to “saints” and the biggest human “religious” bureaucracy ever, and have a good, long think on Jesus and his WORD. Just that.
