I am a follower of Christ as I have told you numerous times. That makes me a Christian. Just like the disciples who followed Christ. (Acts 11:26)

I do not recall you, or hardly any other Roman Catholic, making that public profession.

You're right. Christians reject the papacy and do rely upon Scripture. Scripture is inspired. Not Roman Catholic "Tradition".

You however, must follow your current pope in what he says. You have no choice per Unam Sanctam....or does that not apply to you?

So tell us, ebb....which one of these aspects of the Roman Catholic church are you a member of [date in parenthesis date of origin...pay special attention to them]:

Catholic Charismatic Renewal – 160 million[4]

Blue Army of Our Lady of Fátima – 20 million (1946)

This one was very interesting.

The official pledge of membership is: I pledge myself to Our Lady and wish [a totally non-Biblical, and in fact, a contradictory position from both Old and New Testaments], thereby, to join the World Apostolate of Fátima

Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fátima to convert Russia and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to Your Immaculate Heart:

To offer up every day the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty

To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries

To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as profession of this promise and as an act of consecration to You,

To accomplish the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month, including the fifteen-minute meditation on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation.

Legion of Mary (active and auxiliary) – 10 million

International Catholic Conference of Scouting – 8 million (1948)

Cursillo – 5 million (1944)

Worldwide Marriage Encounter – 5 million couples

Marian Movement of Priests – 5 million (1972)

Militia Immaculatae – 3 million (1917)

International Alliance of Catholic Knights – several million (1979)

Knights of Columbus – 1.9 million (1882)

Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement – several million (started 1914)

Nocturnal Adoration Societies - 2 million

You may think that.

A real follower of Christ would belong to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that He founded upon His rock.

Please, Don’t Call Protestants Christians
