>>Pat Buchanan does not represent mainstream traditional Catholic thought any more than the Pope does.<<

I'm no expert, but his viewpoint seems to be far more traditional than the Pope.

On other matters, I greatly disagree with the RCC (eg. transubstantiation, purgatory, Mariolatry, papal infallibility, priesthood, etc) and have no desire to become Catholic.

No mention of disagreeing with their graven image obsession. Does that mean you’re fine with that?

Seriously, you are not one of the Lord’s disciples of you don’t keep his sayings. Remission of sins is one of his ordinances. Obey Acts 2:38. That’s what the original church still teaches.
