“You referred to my post in your first comment and expressed your intent on breaking a caucus.”
I think you’ve misread my first post. It is explicitly not to “break Caucus”. I specifically invited you in case you wished to participate in a non-Caucus discussion of the topic / article.
I made it very clear that I was not interested in a Catholic versus Protestant debate.
I also apologized for the disruption to your thread. Until you pointed me to the policy on this I was unclear about how the Caucus threads worked. I thought it simply meant that it was not a place for debate.
My question even then was not intended to start a debate. I simply am curious about how Catholics correct problems within their Church as that was the subject being discussed. I was not really looking for any Protestant arguments against the Catholic view. However, it seems that in order to find out the answer to that question, it requires posting in a non-Caucus thread. And, unfortunately, since it is a non-Caucus thread, some people may be prone to debate. But it is not my intention to start such a debate.
Perhaps there should be a generalized Christian Caucus thread open to ALL Christian denominations in which the purpose is explicitly NOT to debate. I don’t know.
However, there have been some pretty good replies so far, in spite of the tendency for arguments to break out between Protestants and Catholics. Thank God, it’s not like the violent conflicts of the not-so-distant past.
Really? From your post #38:
For the Catholic the answer seems to rely on the authority of the Church. For the Protestant the answer is seen as a personal reliance on the Holy Spirit.
Sounds hypocritical to me.
