WOW, lookit all the nose-in-the-air FRomans on this thread.

You’d almost think their church doesn’t defend and enable kiddy-diddlers and is on the way to declaring sodomy a sacrament.

Just like the democrats taking the moral high ground.

So we should be lectured about the Truth by those who replace it with their own fables labeled “sacred tradition” and those who demand Catholics disobey a clear, concise command of Jesus like not using the title “Father” for religious leaders?

When they start living what is written in the Bible they claim to have given us, then they might have some credibility.

Until then, I don’t see why anyone would need to bother listening to them.

You know, every time I read threads like these posted by Roman Catholics I can't help but think there's a LOT of jealousy that's not-so-secretly hidden within them. Perhaps it's because we former Catholics/non-Catholics have discovered the joy of our salvation that the Lord intended us to have. Perhaps it's because we can unabashedly and unashamedly declare we KNOW we have eternal life rather than only a hope that we might be found worthy at our death like we were once taught. Perhaps - and probably the most likely - it is because we don't "do" Christianity (churchianity?) like they do even though we can demonstrate from Scripture every tenet of our faith.

I think they really do believe they hold the copyright to the word "church". I think they are brainwashed to believe ONLY their church can administer the Lord's Supper in the way Jesus meant which will only be acceptable to God rather than the observance being of a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice and our reception of it as a sign of our faith and fellowship with ALL of the body of Christ. Is only their interpretation of Jesus' words valid? I can't help but think there's some real insecurity showing through like when bullies attack others trying to make themselves look better.

The poster is new (perhaps), but it's disappointing to see the return of this kind of thread that intentionally provokes non-Catholic Christians and appears to belittle our faith. However, like all the threads before it, we will persevere in defending our faith according to the word of God and our trust in His promises in spite of the attacks. The joy of the Lord is our strength! One would think they'd learn by now, right?
