I am so tired of these Catholics are the only true religion threads. They do a lot of things that I do not agree with but I am not going to start a hate thread about them. It is just taking up space which can be used for other things. No one is going to change another person’s beliefs. I have seen some threads where there are pages after pages of quotes when a link should be used.

I am so tired of people whining “Catholics are the only true religion threads” threads rather than just moving on.

If the thread bothers you do much, why not just skip it?

dear ma'am, this is not a "... are the only true religion". It asks a question about canonicity. And the Orthodox, Orientals (Armenians, Copts etc), Catholics and Assyrians hold to the same councils that defined canon.

There is a way which many Protestants do use to answer Tom's question, which is to answer that he acted fallibly and to answer the next question "How can Protestants be certain that they have an infallible collection of Books in Holy Scripture?" as "Councils said so, we accept those councils, just as we accept the councils like Nicea etc. that infallibly declared that Christ is Lord, GOD and Savior and part of the Triune Godhead"

No need, just read any open thread on the RF; no matter what it starts with, it will have thousands of anti-Catholic posts by the time it ends.
