Nice try Bonefish.

But wrong.

This has NOTHING to do with the almighty Catholic church.

This has everything to do with MEN doing what they feel right in their own eyes.

Biblically based churches, that are non-Catholic, teach that their is only ONE true God. All others are just different names of the same source, Satan.

Acts 4: 10let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Just as there are Protestant churches and pastors that preach something other than Christ alone, there are also Catholics that teach that Christ ISN'T the only way. They might not be supported or endorsed by the Catholic church, none the less they still preach another gospel. Same as Protestants who preach another gospel.

I, as an Evangelical and Protestant, reject their message of ecumenicalism. There is only ONE true God and only one way to access him.

I also reject your assumption that somehow its a Protestant thing or a non Catholic thing, that the Catholic church holds the corner on the belief of the ONE true God.

You got it all wrong. Catholics have a Catechism where central truths handed down to St. Peter and the Apostles, by scripture, tradition and revelation are bound together as a unifying whole. A single Truth. There are NO many or different paths to salvations. If that were the case, the birth, death, and resurrection of the Christ would be pointless and would be seen as a superfluous alternative. We could all be Buddhists or Hindus.

No sir, there is but one Truth, and there cannot be 35,000 different variations of Christianity that Luther has spawned from the gospel of prosperity aka Joel Osteen to the gospel of socialism Rev. Wright. These Protestant denominations are nothing but wild mushrooming heresies.

I suggest you pick up a book by Hillaire Belloc “Heresy” and engage in some serious reading before venturing into deep waters.

Just a question: Are there no absolutes?
If some men feel that some things are "right in their own eyes" does that mean that it's not a sin?
People can talk themselves into all kinds of behaviors that they FEEL is RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES, but in Christian/Catholic worlds, they are a sin.

Absolutes have no part in what MEN do what they FEEL is right in their own eyes. It's not about what FEELS right but what God SAYS is right....whether men agree or not.

Am I wrong here?
