DR.E: When Roman Catholics tell us that "Christian" means to pray to saints and to view the priest as "another Christ" and to label Mary as a "co-redeemer," we, as Christians, feel obligated by the Gospel to say "No, that is not how we have so learned Christ."

JUDITH ANNE: Point to any Catholic who has told you any of that garbage. Impossible, because it has not been done. This is another example of the falsehoods of the anti-Catholic bigots.

Really, Judith? You really want to deny this? And use this denial as evidence of "anti-Catholic bigotry???"

Annalex told us last week that of course Roman Catholics pray to saints and he encourages all to do so.

Father Kenneth Baker referenced the Roman Catholic catechism in his essay THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD when he referred to priests as "another Christ." An "alter Christus" in "both their professional and personal life." Father Baker's essay was a subject of a Roman Catholic caucus thread.

And likewise, PADRE PIO AND THE MOTHER CO-REDEMPTRIX" was also a Roman Catholic caucus thread.

So anyone reading these comments is left to wonder why you are making clearly false statements? And as you're doing so, you're criticizing others!

This is typical, however, of how the Roman Catholic apologist seems to toss out whatever erroneous, defensive statements they can think of, regardless of their obvious inaccuracy.

Those twisted statements do not accurately reflect Catholic beliefs.

"Christian" means follower of Christ. "Christian" does not mean "pray to saints." "Christian" does NOT mean to view the priest as 'another Christ.' "Christian" does NOT mean to "label Mary as a co-redeemer."

Christian means "follower of Christ" of any one of a number of sects. I hardly think that Baptist Christians believe any of the above. Your statement is false. The beliefs you reference are specific to Catholics, when they are not twisted and distorted by disgusting prottie twists. And Catholics are Christian.

Once again:

DR.E: When Roman Catholics tell us that "Christian" means to pray to saints and to view the priest as "another Christ" and to label Mary as a "co-redeemer," we, as Christians, feel obligated by the Gospel to say "No, that is not how we have so learned Christ."

Christian means: Follower of Christ. Could be Baptist, could be Lutheran, could be any one of a number of sects.

JUDITH ANNE: Point to any Catholic who has told you any of that garbage. Impossible, because it has not been done. This is another example of the falsehoods of the anti-Catholic bigots.

Dr. E., no Catholic has told you that "Christian" means anything other than follower of Christ. Catholics have beliefs and traditions that may differ from protestants. Catholics are Christian. Are you having trouble understanding the truth? I am not surprised.
