Well we are all waiting the whole world, actually with bated breath to your answers to these “fundamental questions” that the Catholic Church has answered from Peter to Francis. So please tell us your answers. Wow! We can’t wait to hear the great answers revealed to us by daniel1212 that would contradict Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, Benedict and hundreds of leading theologians who converted to the Catholic faith, to say nothing of the saints and martyrs.
Oh my, you may have some colleges and universities named after you! So what version of Christ’s teachings are “you” going to give us? a version of Al Sharptom, Jim Jones, Billy Graham, Osteen, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jimmy Swaggart, Tammy Faye Baker, Schuller, or their family successors!!!
The “cluster of heresies” spawned by the evils of Protestantism are now in the final stages of rot and decay with Lutherans now accepting gay and lesbian Bishops as being scripturally sound as do the Anglicans.
No answers are enough for you. Not the work and traditions of the early Fathers, not the Church that authoritatively established the books you call the Bible, not the Church that gave us the Gregorian calendar by which you and your Protestants celebrate the feast days of Christmas, Good Friday and Easter. Not the Church of sacred tradition that have given us martyrs and saints.
No, your authenticity in the end comes down to what “you” think is the teaching of Christ based on “your” understanding of the fragments of Scripture “you” choose to select and “you” choose to interpret. Wonderful, Isn’t it?
This is the line of thinking that has produced our David Koresh’s and Jimmy Swaggarts, and TD Jakes, Billy Grahams, and Joel Osteens, and the rest of the circus clowns of Christianity who have provided a nice nest egg for themselves, their wives, and families.
Come Christmas go to some vapid entertainment using early Catholic hymns, that passes off for Christmas “services,” and come Easter go gather at the beach with your neighbor Four Square Church pastor for “sunrise” services and belt out “Alleluias” composed by the great Catholic classical composers.
I warned you that if you continued to refuse to answer the fundamental questions i asked you from the beginning then you (and your replacement rants) would be ignored, thus they will be. And least stop using “we,” as its been you alone, and no wonder.
