Are you SURE
you want me to get into . . . yet again . . .
where we perceive RC’s to have dropped the ball 1600 years ago and yearly since then?
No — I don’t care what Protestant charlatans perceive.
God bless James Robinson! Would that more preachers and men of the cloth would speak as clearly to the decisive issues of the day!
BUMP! Indeed.
What a charitable conciliatory and edifying response.

Yes, I guess you are right. This is about freedom vs slavery. I have only met a very very few "atheists" in my life. Some of those few have seen the light since then.
Indeed.
I’ve long appreciated his candor and his humility.
I think he and John Wimber long demonstrated humility way above average for Christian leaders in our era.
“Whoop-de-doo!” Indeed /sarcasm
BUMP!
and the heretics suffer needlessly for it.
were it not for the Church, Protestants would be that enemy's plaything.
OMG that's a flipping riot.
Listen, hotshot, you'd have a better case telling Michael Tyson how throw a jab.

I agree with your post #37.
Is it "defaming" to state a fact? Like it's "racist" to criticize obama?
You do your own homework, kiddo.
I couldn't agree with you more, dearest sister in Christ!
Thank you so very much for your astute observation!
God's Name is I AM!
I am both charitable and conciliatory. There is good reason for Evangelicals to join the Catholic fight for religious freedom and I hope they do, for their own sake. Such effort will be, for Protestants, reflective of their own political history, and will bring out the best in them. There are limits to that, — ultimately neither confession can achieve fruits political before it nourishes fruits spiritual,— but cooperation is entirely possible — it has always been.
Come on mate. Yeah, there are plenty of Catholic bashers about, like there are plenty of protestant bashers, creationists vs evolutionists etc, but you are hunting the wrong trail this time.
Quix asks questions and is great fun to talk to and debate our differences with. We have discussed differences many times, both in thread and in mails and he is never impolite. Be warned though, he’ll tie you into knots if you chose one wrong word!
Sorry for butting in, but I hate to see a good person maligned.
Thanks for your kind, discerning and perceptive reply.
I don’t really plan a return to past . . . festivities . . . though if some turn ruthless enough, I might reconsider.
I merely wanted to caution the fiercer RC’s that this was not a wise or good thread on which to trash with old hostilities.
If I can be on my better behavior . . . most anyone should be able to be so.
And the cause is well worth every bit of kind, thoughtful and polite conciliatory cooperativeness we can all muster.
imho.
God’s best to you, Bro. You are a treasure.

My sincere apologies to Quix. Indeed, my post 42 might be read as if calling Quix personally a “Protestant charlatan”. My meaning was that Protestantism as a whole is invented by charlatans such as Luther and Calvin, and crowned whoring weasels like Henry VIII: it does not have a solid biblical and theological foundation. The Protestants today simply follow the myths the Protestant culture inculcated in them and cannot be called charlatans. Further, rather than calling them names, they should be debated, and defeated, on the Holy Scripture alone, every time they advance their theological fantasies.
Outside of the realm of theology, furthermore, the field of cooperation between the Chrisitan confessions in the struggle against the non-Christian world has never been wider, and such cooperation is welcome.
Oh, I look forward to debating you in the future many times!
You force something that happens rarely in day to day life - you make me examine my faith and the Church. Even though I may not be able to explain things to you, it makes my faith deeper.
There are many wonderful non-Catholics here on FR. Figure The Lord knows his own, irrespective of denomination.
Yeah, I know, penance again ....
