Bull Cantate Domino, 1441 is authentic. It should interpreted in its historical context and not the modern day Catholic-Protostant debate. If the preoccupation of your faith life is centered on protesting the history and teachings of the Catholic Church, then you have separated yourself from God and bound yourself to the vice of pride. This leaves little room for imitating Christ’s divine love and Mercy. Simply belonging to another faith does not sever oneself from salvation. The same holds true for Catholics who obsess with unfairly labelling and deriding Protestants.
LOL. Our “faith life” is no more “centered” on protesting Catholicism than Jesus was “centered” on refuting the misguided magisterium of Israel. It’s not fun work, but it has to be done. And it’s NOT the center. The center is Jesus, the resurrected Son of God, and very God, whom we adore with all our being, and live to love and serve and worship, according to the manner of worship God Himself has prescribed in Scripture, in spirit and in truth, not the failed traditions of men.
Besides, just as it was with Jesus, this ongoing debate presents countless wonderful opportunities to share the Gospel of God’s amazing grace, bestowed on us freely in His beloved Son Jesus, who died for our sins in order to once for all settle our debt of sin, and raise us from spiritual death to spiritual life, not by rituals or membership in this or that human institution, or by any filthy rags which we might mistake for good works, but by making us a new creation, and engrafting us into His own infinitely rich life through His Spirit, us who do not deserve one iota of His goodness, and yet He does it for His love for us.
That was then; this is now.
What a wonderful way to brush history and TEACHINGS away...
NOW you're in trouble with FR Catholics!
