These anti-protestant articles sure bring people together in harmony don’t they?
I’m humming kumbaya as I type :-)
In the year 110 A.D., not even fifteen years after the book of Revelation was written, while on his way to execution St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote: “Where the bishop is present, there let the congregation gather, just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church”. The Church believes that when the bishops speak as teachers, Christ speaks; for he said to them: “He who hears you, hears me; and he who rejects you, rejects me” (Lk 10, 16).

Christian unity demands encounter – not theory, says Pope
It was a try. Started out well. Then came the ones who make a career out of wrecking civilized discussions. I got personal insults even got rude emails from it. When I tried to put the thread bank on track, it didn't work. When I finally had enough and commented on behavior and remarks, I got harassed about that, too. Pretty much the same ones every time, not everybody.
I knew a lot of non-Catholics in my life, and we didn't have a problem. Here, whatever we post, the same ones play "follow the leader" even when we try to find a common ground.
God bless you!
