- I dont hear you disputing the whole Latin mass, Vicar of Christ, Mother Mary / co-redeemer thing.
Would you at least acknowledge some doctrinal insufficiencies in Catholicism?
I think thats what agitates Protestants the most, there are some glaring deficiencies, yet the whole thing is still held up as 100% perfection - sorry, but Hillary didnt stand in our pulpit like she did in a Catholic pulpit here in Rochester.
No slight meant.
I thought I'd start with the spelling/respect thing, but that was a mistake. Are you sure you want to do this?
Baptists don't have to have their services in Latin, nor do Catholics. We have been having Masses in the vernacular since 1970 or so. But strictly speaking, the language used to praise God is not nearly as important as the desire to do so. Education is and was always done in the vernacular.
What is it about the Church having a leader who can "declare bound what is bound in Heaven" bothers you?
Mary is not worshipped. We worship God the Father when we offer the only perfect sacrifice of Christ to Him. Singing and teaching about a saint does not mean we worship her.
And, before we even start, please identify what "co-redeemer" means and what your objection to it is.

Nope, sorry. There are no "doctrinal" deficiencies. Why would I follow a faith that didn't have the answers?

If no slight was meant, why even bring it up? You will find man, many more examples of liberal politicians using Protestant pulpits than Catholic ones. Not that any of it is proper, but I fail to see what other than a slight could have been intended by mentioning this fact.
