I agree with Mr. Melton , Half you all this includes priest dont even know him and does not have a relationship with him. So stuck on symbols and traditions that doesnt matter. Follow his word , not the Catholic bible.

Do you have proof for this statement? Or are you just repeating what you have heard elsewhere, from sources who tend to make things up.

joehar,

So who needs Jesus? You just judged our priests! Can you pass judgment on me now or would you rather leave us lessor souls for Jesus to waste His time on since yours is too precious? By the way, will you die for my sins too?If you read one of the numerous protestant bible versions then you read tradition. If you read a Catholic Bible your read Tradition. If you believe the protestant Bible then you believe in tradition. If you believe the Catholic Bible you believe Tradition.

Either way, the Bible is tradition and you believe in it.

As for symbols I love them. I love to wear a crucifix so that when others see me they know I’m a devout Christian. When they ask questions I can evagelize them. Ever time I see a symbol it reminds me of what it stands for. I hang a rosary in my car. Now instead of road rage I just give out blessings and prayers. You should see the look when somebody gives me the finger and I give them a blessing back. Too bad protestants can’t admit to their own symbols.

So from your post I can take it that you too have heard that stuff the Baptists spew out about Catholics. I just read it in your post.

I have a deep relationship with Christ and find your comments very insulting. I could fill abook with all that Chist has done in my life. I also find your comments very uneducated. When ever you decide to debate an issue you should always educate your self on the facts. You brief comments thrown here and there are typical anti Catholic comments, that have been passed on to you by someone else.

The Bible did not magically appear the day Jesus ascended into Heaven so where exactly did you get your “protestant” Bible and whom did Jesus entrust to assemble it?

How do you know that we don’t know HIm? Have you looked into our hearts? I have a deepening relationship with Him and continue to do so through participation in the Sacraments. He gave us these as a means of personal physical contact that impart grace in our lives.

“Catholic bible” I don’t get this one, you will have to explain further.

He may be referring to any bible that has the Imprimatur.

Interesting story:

I had a roommate in dental school who was a Baptist. He and I conversed regularly. He even became convinced of the perpetual virginity of Mary through our dialogues. He really liked Scott Hahn, and wanted to listen to a particular set of his tapes that dealt with Anti-Catholic Protestants. I let him listen to them only after I had prepared him for it.

After listening, he came back to me and said, “I really think this guy is paranoid. I’ve never seen this type of stuff in my church.”

Two weeks later, I came home from Mass and he was at the apartment having just come home from Sunday School at his Baptist church. He was very quiet, so I asked him if everything was ok. He said, “I can’t believe it. I was at Sunday school and the visiting teacher started the class by writing in big letters on the chalkboard, ‘ALL CATHOLICS ARE GOING TO HELL.’.”

I just answered, “And so…”

He was surprised that this was nothing new to me. Then I think he was a little ashamed.

Go to www.biblechristiansociety.com and get some of those tapes. Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide are covered, as well as the issue of 25,000+ denominations in a tape called One Church.

Listen to them and then share them with your non-Catholic friends who have questions about the Catholic faith.

We used to have “discussions” that my kids called the “Holy Wars” and at that time I was not very good at defending my faith to him (or his family!). Well, we no longer have those “discussions” because I can now put him in his place about what Catholics believe.

This isnt a hit and run post, Oh and by the way when he said it is finished -Jesus means that it is finished…

Do you understand what is meant by “It is finished”? I wonder if you recognize the depth of what was being said. Somehow I doubt it.

Perhaps he should watch “The Fourth Cup” by another former anti-Catholic, Dr. Scott Hahn. Very thought provoking… very interesting.
 
Every once in a while I am drawn out of my lurking status to toss my two cents worth in…this would be one of those times.

I was raised Brethren, very similar to Baptist as you all know, and we had many common events etc. I was taught that the Catholic Church was a cult, the whore of Babylon and there was no hope of salvation for any contained in it’s clutches. I was taught that Mary was just a girl, could have been any girl really, she was a tertiary element in the story.

I was taught to just read past the verses still in the protestant bibles that may have been troubling (Hail full of grace; Unless a man eats my flesh…; Whatever sins you forgive…and the list goes on) I was taught all of these things and yet still ended up coming home to Rome last year.

God bless my parents for believing that the Catholic school system was a better bet for their kids. There I was taught about love in action, about Mary and intercession. I carried these things in my heart all these years and occasionally dusted them off for review. God bless my husband for moving me to a place that had no Brethren assemblies which sent me on a ‘church hunt’. And God bless Scott Hahn for the courage to tell his story. At 38 I finally get it.

So the short answer is “Yes, Baptists and other denominations **do **teach anti-Catholicism.” Sometimes it is just difficult to see it is all.

God bless each of you in your journey.

Very good rebuttals indeed, I’d agree that a good dose of Dr. Scott Hahn might open the pour soul’s eyes a bit. Last time I was in a Baptist church for a wedding I noticed a very ornate table off to the side. The inscription carved into the face of the table read, “In Memory of Me”. I guess it should have come as no surpise that the words, “Do This” were missing.
 
I am not Catholic and have never experienced prejudice from Baptists until yesterday. My sister-in-law was speaking to a Baptist woman who asked where she went to church. When she told this woman that she attends Catholic church the woman really freaked out. She said that Catholics don’t believe in Jesus!:eek: Thinking it would placate the woman, she told her that she sometimes attends church with me at a Church of Christ, and the woman said we weren’t much better and that the only chance she had was to go to her local Baptist church.
It was very bizzare and shook up my sister-in-law. I really did think that this kind of ignorance didn’t exist in our town. 😦

I am a convert I used to be Church of Christ and my family is convinced my children and I are going to hell:eek: Oh, they believe every false thing ever said about the Catholic Church:nope: I was accousted by a Babtist on time and she said the Catholic Church was an evil cult:eek: :eek: The ideas she had about what goes on in Mass sounded like a Stephen King movie.It would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.God Bless
 
Just the other day, in Office Max, I overheard a Protestant (he could have been Baptist) say that the Catholic Church was bad because it had ordained the Rev. Sun Myung Moon to the priesthhood or something.

:bigyikes:
 
The saddest part of all this, however, is that if someone has been treated badly by the Catholic Church and then questions it they are branded “anti-Catholic.” This has happened to me on many, many occasions. I have asked genuine questions and been told that I have been trying to stir up trouble when all I have wanted is an honest answer to some Catholic issus I have struggled with.

Many Catholics are very quick to judge genuine inquiries as argumentative. I have asked questions about veneration of Mary and Papal infallibility and been told that I am “anti Catholic” and have no "serious inquiry. Everyone I have spoken to Catholicism has different answers, some are better than others. But the disappointing part is that many in the “One True Church” are ready to condemn any who want clarification of certain beliefs.
