1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

And that's why I have given up participating in the mega threads (the ones that end up with a couple of proddies arguing with a couple of Catholics). I realize that if the proddies' eyes aren't opened by the Holy Spirit, they will never understand the truth. Far better to pray for them than to waste time arguing with them.

As far as salvation goes, it really doesn't matter if we understand, does it? From V2's UNITATIS REDINTEGRATIO:

For men who believe in Christ and have been truly baptized are in communion with the Catholic Church even though this communion is imperfect.


Us prots are "undercover Catholics"! Yea!
