It is ludicrous to dispute it.
What entity has clothed more naked?
Fed more hungry?
Given shelter to more homeless?
Given more free medical care to the poor?
What entity has, over the last 2000 years, performed more good works in the name of Christ?
Name it.
In my post I stated, and you seem to have ignored, that I have problems with some of the doctrine of the Church.
But, as far as good works go, it is inarguable that the Catholic Church has done more than any other institution, by far.
He will not respond to Christian love and reason.
He and his posse (see his ping list) are consumed with hatred for other Christians who do not agree with their interpretations of scripture. I feel sad, not mad that that is so. But I have seen many good Christians such as yourself try and fail. God Bless you!
I deny the Catholic church has done more good works than anyone. I deny it as strongly as possible. You didn't answer my questions about what Rome actually teaches. Is it correct for a church to teach its congregants that there are "other Christs" and "co-redeemers?"
Sounds like the fast track to hell, imo.
Certainly there are saved Christians among the RCC but it is in spite of Rome's teachings, not because of them.
Additionally, "good works" don't save anyone. We are called to be in service to God alone, and He will perform good works in us in order to permit us to help the least among us. But those works are the Holy Spirit in us, not our own good works, which are as "filthy rags" to God.
The only "good work" that saves anyone is Jesus Christ's work on the cross, given according to God's free, unmerited mercy alone.
Saved by grace through faith in Christ.
This is pretty basic stuff. It sounds like you may have missed a few Sunday school classes if you're a Protestant. What denomination do you belong to?
Don't fall for it. It's not an worthy argument to get into. He'll just change his attack from the Catholic Church to you. You'll respond that you are indeed a good Christian, and now you've fallen into his trap.
Nothing to see here except hatred. No Christian love at all.
