so the point is he worked with protestants? he also met with rabbis and was even allowed into communist cuba to speak. he was known to work with alot of people. im just surprised the evangelical protestants would work with him. weve tried to get them on board with 40 days for life, which by the way is not a Catholic movement, but all the protestants we ran into, couldnt see past our affiliation. they wouldnt pray with us. hopefully this changes. i even went so far as to enlist the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. didnt join that year, but they were kinda shocked that any one would ask. lol! hopefully this changes. especially when it comes to the rights of the unborn, and the defence of marraige. i think we can work together on these issues. Peace
I guess that the aim of this organization is to reach souls, to proclaim the gospel. I guess this organization calls itself Christian because they want all the help that it is available, this is something we all as fellow Christians must do together. If anything this will be an activity that will help you in your walk with Christ.
), Amen.The right thing to do is to bring them closer to the Catholic Church, not to make them Protestant. There are evangelicals who think that no one can find God in the Catholic Church, and they also think that these people don’t have a close relationship with God because they’re Catholic… and that’s not true. They can in fact find a closer relationship with God through the Sacraments, and it’s sad when organizations like Campus Crusade draw people away from this and teach them ideas that Christians never believed till 200 years ago (symbolic Communion, once saves always saved, etc).
Ohio Wesleyan University (where I attended for two and a half years) fought for YEARS to keep CCC off campus. Then, the year before I started, a new president was elected and the first thing he did was allow CCC onto campus. In a show of fellowship, the long-established Newman group attended their meetings. By the time I came to campus a year later, the Newman group had maybe ten members while CCC had something between thirty and fifty, and continued to grow. My best friend’s roommate was a member of CCC and managed to convince us both to come. When they started talking about “federal headship” I said “Oh, you mean like Original Sin?” and was quietly told how the two are vastly different and how the former is more important to understand because it explains our deep personal relationship with Jesus. Over the next month or so, I became increasingly irritated with the CCC because every meeting seemed to address a point of Catholic doctrine and then attack it. I could never truly call them out on it because they never used the names of the doctrine or addressed them as Catholic, specifically. But the Newman group learned the year before that CCC is dangerous for Catholics and had completely pulled out of any cooperation with them. My best friend and I stopped attending and started having to fend off all the “Christians” with good intentions that continued to harass us after.
From my experience, this would be extreme–an exception, not the rule. I was on full-time staff with Campus Crusade for a couple years–before that I was heavily involved with the organization as a student on Campus–led “Action Groups” went on summer beach projects, etc etc. No one ever tried to bring me back when I left and I never saw that type of behavior in any of the people I knew in the organization…
