SOP.
As we've learned on Free Republic, Roman Catholics and their pope Ratzinger, believe all non-papist churches to be "defective." So Rome wants it both ways. Rome wants other faiths to think kindly of them and not give them a hard time, but Rome does not display that same acceptance of Protestant churches.
We preach the Gospel and all we hear from Roman Catholics is that the church and its magisterium are superior to the word of God.
Christ answered such false beliefs...
"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." -- Mark 6:11
As Greg Bahnsen wrote:
"Rome has not essentially changed. Rome declared that what it said at the time of the Reformation was infallible and could not change. Declared it to be irreformible truth. Rome has not changed and precious truths of God's word are still worth upholding even at the cost of unity even at the cost of being considered "troublemakers" in the religious world. We need to guard the antithesis against the destructive error of Rome." -- Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen, From a tape, THE REFORMATION, October 28, 1990."The Reformation is dying daily in our day when the Ecumenical Movement, and other forces like unto it, wish to soften the antithesis with Rome, today. I want to assure you that it's not my pugnacious debating nature that makes me say we must exalt that antithesis and guard it. It's my love for the Lord Jesus Christ and the purity of His word.
"...guard the antithesis against the destructive error of Rome."
AMEN!
The duplicities of the Papists of the Vatican Cult have become sooooooooooooo extreme . . .
I’m losing respect even for some I had some grains of respect for. Very few RC’s on FR warrant any significant amount of my respect whatsoever.
There are still a small handful depending on how one slices the criteria . . . but some that I thought were at least rational, civil and dealt somewhat in reality have been working overtime the last 90 days trashing all such considerations.

Look at the way you Usual Suspects ACT.
I’d say, defective about sums it up. The Holy Father is right again!
It’s Lent!
I resolved to leave at Sundown on Saturday. The Sun is setting over Utica, MI so I wish all of my Holy Christian Brothers and Sisters Days of living in the understanding of what He did for us.
My prayers for all who wish me ill for my faith, Lord Love the Lot of ya, especially you Dr. E. I’m praying for your enlightenment the most.
Hugs!
