Come back: the mother church has NEVER wavered on this fundamental tenet, and is quite willing to receive her prodigals.

What I find truly confusing is the utter hostility shown by many Protestants when Catholicism is the topic. Isn’t protestantism simply a splinter sect of the church? Sure, some may claim that Papal Infallibility is worshipping a mere man as G_d, but that premise is WRONG!

Papal Infallibility refers to matters of CHURCH DOCTRINE, not the acts of the (undoubtedly human ergo fallible) MAN holding St. Peter’s office temporarily.

not to start a flame war, but protestants could never come back to the RCC
first of all the RCC puts church hx and doctine on an even level with the Bible on authority
Then there is the worship of Mary and the move to state she is co redemptrix with Christ - Mary was favored by God but a sinner like the rest of us. She is not a perpetual virgin and had other children after Christ. There is no evidence she was assumed bodily into heaven, etc
Christ is our high priest and intercessor, we need or should ask no one else to intercede for us, not Mary, saints or any one else.
Sorry, but you said we should undo the reformation, these are a few of the main points why we cannot.

I can't come back to something I've never known, to begin with. I appreciate your sentiment, but it just isn't something that I could do in good conscience. Let us respectfully leave it at that.
