Elsie:
You ping them to these threads? So what you are saying is that while you have disagreements with some Catholic Doctrine, on this particular topic, you are ok with Msg. Pope’s explanation and generally are in agreement with it.
For the life of me, I don’t know who is Mormon or who is not, quite frankly, other than the Catholics who generally disclose that they are, and a free Reformed protestants, most people here ping and don’t say who and what they belong to. Although based on what some people post, I can usually determine if they hold doctrines that are anti Traditional Trinitarian, as was the case earlier in this thread. I have been here since 2007 and still have no idea what confession you hold to, to be honest, although in the past I think I have requested you disclose that.
In general, I don’t reply anymore to those who don’t disclose what confession they belong to but your post to me at least, were no mean spirited so I went against my general rule.
Didn't you see those three names behind yours?
Here: search my postings.
Just SEE how many times I call them out to play.
So how often they accept the challenge to defend what the sincerely believe...

I suppose that information would tend to give you an idea where they are coming from; but you probably know as well as I; that many stages and variations of 'belief' can be found under all denominational umbrellas.
I've never tried to avoid the fact that I attend a Wesleyan denomination.
It's not on my homepage because I don't think it is THAT important.
