“The Catholic Church should not alter or water down its teaching to placate Protestants.”
And therein lies the problem: “its teaching.” Not Scripture, but “its teaching.” Hate to say it, but catholicism is not the authority - Scripture is. And the renegade Protestants for years have known that “its teaching” is the problem. Like praying to Mary, regarding Mary and the leader of catholicism as sinless. Blasphemy is what that is, pure blasphemy.
(By the way, I am neither Protestant or Catholic.)
“regarding Mary and the leader of catholicism as sinless.”
The leader of Catholicism, as you’ve termed it, is Jesus Christ, and He is sinless. Calling that blasphemy? I hope not. He is also the Son of God, the second person of the Blessed Trinity, and possessing two natures, one divine, one human.
As others herein have noted, a FIVE YEAR-OLD article was posted as new in this forum. It takes but a small amount of time to realize that this was unlikely to have been an accident. Isn’t that right, O original poster?
