Ping!
I don’t know if I agree with this:
**‘So,’ he said, ‘this July I will preach in his church on a Sunday and offer an apology from my Church for the hurt it has brought to their congregation.’”**
Why apologize for something the Catholic Church has done right?
But I do agree with this:
**In many parts of the world, Catholic leaders have complained about Pentecostals using harshly anti-Catholic rhetoric and questionable methods of proselytism to entice the faithful.**
(btw, I am not criticizing you for posting it).
“Catholics belonging to the charismatic renewal movement”...
...are Catholics in name only.
...are Catholics in name only.
TRUE ENOUGH!
“Catholics belonging to the charismatic renewal movement”...
...are Catholics in name only.
...took the words right out of my mouth...
“Catholics belonging to the charismatic renewal movement”...
Now I’m thinking of people holding hands during the Our Father, raising their arms every time the priest does and that stupid guitar at Mass. Lord, deliver the Catholic Church from anything to do with protestantism.
Is this why you don't like a literally true Genesis? Because it's "Protestant?"
Perhaps you should also reject the "new testament," since Protestants believe in it as well.
Didn’t Francis just attend a huge charismatic get-together? And get prayed on/blessed by a charismatic?
This is a nuance in the internal debate an outsider will miss. 60-80% of what Protestants believe is Catholic teaching: Divinity of Christ, historicity of the Gospels, redemption of sin by Christ alone, everlasting life of the elect and salvation by grace alone, inerrancy of the Holy Scripture. Understand: the Protestantism is not a separate religion but a corruption of authentic Catholic Christianity. So when I Catholic says, “deliver us from Protestantism” he is speaking of the corruption, not of the core.
I hope this is an occasion characterized by charity on all sides.
“Perhaps you should also reject the “new testament,” since Protestants believe in it as well”
You mean sort of like protestants IGNORE the Old Testament?
Because he is suffering from a severe case of ecumania. Very sad.
Please please PLEASE don’t talk in tongues while you’re there.
I’m ambivalent about the snakes.
I am so very scared by that possibility. I don't know what I'll do if that happens...
Yeah, so we're the Whore of Babylon but our Pope is cool to them?
He invites them to the Vatican.
From a google translation of another article:
>>Francis has also shown a great openness to evangelicals. According to his understanding of evangelism asked the Pope replied that he was not interested in converting evangelicals to Catholicism. He wished that people find Jesus in their own community.<<
