“How long do papists intend to continue propagandizing Free Republic?”
Probably until the day after you stop using the word “Papists”. When will that be? Doomsday? Well, we’ll be posting from Heaven. I doubt they’ll have Wi-Fi where you might be at that time.
“Probably until the day after you stop using the word “Papists”.”
Ridiculous and childishly liberal. Whatever term is used will always become perjorative.
Slow becomes retarded. Retarded becomes special, special becomes challenged, challenged becomes differently-abled.
The Negro became colored, colored became black, then black became African American, African American became People of Color, People of Color became People of African Origin,,,
But all are simply trying to describe one common trait. So Papist is as good as Roman Catholic, follower of the Pope, loyalist to the Papacy, etc. It serves to sort them from other Christian sects.
I take it, then, you are not a Papist? Is not Peter the rock your institution claims to be built upon, the first Pope of a succession down to the present Argentinian Marxist one, Bogdoglio?
Is this not the main premise your institution is known for in the world, your succession of Popes?
Has not your interpretation of Matt. 16:13-19, your alleged proof for your succession of Popes, always been the root cause of Protestant dissent? Protestants interpreting Jesus Christ as the “rock” in the Matt. 16 passage, the true church built upon him, with Christ the head of his church, rather than Peter and your succession of Popes...the Papacy.
The term “Papacy,” thus, has always been at the heart of the RCC vs Protestant issue. Why then act like it is not? “Papacy” is no derogatory term, face the truth, it defines precisely what you are known for in the world. Your succession of Popes is the Papacy.
I sure didn’t come up with the term papist and had no idea some of you who believe in popes were so sensitive. I believe in full immersion believer’s baptism, ergo I’m known as a Baptist. My understanding of baptism is a very narrow part of what I believe, but the term Baptist doesn’t bother me, so I don’t know why Romanists would be sensitive about papist.
