"The problem of the "solos" emerges (it seems to me)"

The last three words represent the fatal problem with this Romanist.

So the Catholic translation of "it seems to me" is "The Word of God?"

Like Mormons, who are told to mislead and change the narrative to make Christians seem un-Godly, Catholics also "play dumb" and purposely use "selective reading comprehension" to open a rabbit hole.

*Sigh*

You would think they would stand up to their pope who worships the same "god" as the Islamic muslims (that god does NOT have a son, yet their pope...The Vicar of Christ, Christ's representative on earth, worships the muslim false god and wants his followers to do the same)

In Protestant/generic Christianity any one that said that would be called on the carpet and if no repentance was found, sent away with the Christians knocking the dust off of their feet.

I wonder if I will get an inane tangential "question" for the audacity of my post...

Some times I forget that Catholics are forbidden to debate with non-Catholics...you know, those Christians that are "separated," not quite as good as Catholics.

Speaking of innane tangential questions:

I wonder how long Msgr Pope would last on FR, or any Internet forum really. It seems as though those who give apologetics to any faith, Catholicism included, on the Internet, are demanded a level of precision that in the real world, the world of polite conversation and verbal communication, is not required.

This thought strikes me constantly when I listen to shows like Catholic Answers Live. The people that call into that show (who aren’t Catholic) seem to be quite happy with the apologetics they provide there. I wonder why? Really. I do wonder.

Don’t people who debate online call into shows like that? I’ve sometimes wondered what a chat would be like between, say, Jimmy Akin and an anti-Catholicism FReeper. I can’t imagine it would be any different in terms of civility. So I find myself wishing some of you guys would call them on occassion.

Most of the questions they field are softballs like “call no man Father”. Not the humdingers like around here! Sometimes I think they have no idea the level of “granularity” apologetics demands online. Even Jimmy Akin! Even though he writes a blog.

Don’t get me wrong, CA is a great resource, but only as a stepping off point. At least sometimes, as I think the debates around here go into the tall grass, so to speak. Way beyond whatever help can be found there.

With that, I’m hitting the road back home. And yes, I’ll be listening to Catholic Answers (podcast) on the way home. Hehe

Have a nice weekend everybody!
