Yes, you’ve shown that you are not even open to the possibility because some of your behavior may come into question.

No I don’t see any religion as a one true religion… it has nothing to do with my behavior".

Someone says that in their religion that murdering and stealing are fine. Maybe in your religion they are sins and immoral, but not in their religion. How do you argue against that?

We love Protestants, but not those teachings which are false. Now, Protestantism has some of the truth, but not all of it. We acknowledge were they have truth, but that which is false, we cannot confirm.

But still, Catholics have no authority over protestants… so it is a mute point.

But God does. And because we love Protestants, we want them to be in heaven. And thus, we earnestly desire for them to accept the truth of Christ in its fullness.

While the Pope confirms this teaching, it didn’t originate with the Pope - it originates in Scripture and Sacred Tradition (did you read those links I provided you). It originates in the natural law which God has written on the hearts of every man.

Is the natural law written down on paper or just in hearts?

Because my heart says I’m doing alright.

del, but don’t you see that believing that there isn’t one truth is claiming one truth? Namely the one truth you claim is that there isn’t one truth. You’re annoyed others don’t agree with your truth claim. Don’t you see the contradiction?

As long as it does not violate the secular law of the land, it is none of my business… I really could care less what other religions think is a sin or not as long as they do not project their beliefs on me.

As I said earlier, due to concupiscence, it is easy for men to silence the voice of God within them and to try to erase the law from their hearts. That is one of the reasons God has given us the Church as a sacrament for our salvation.

So now you’re saying man’s laws are above God’s law??

So if the secular law said murder and stealing was o.k. - you wouldn’t mind them stealing your car or murdering you - after all they have their version of the truth. :rolleyes:

I don’t want anyone to agree with me… I just want them to give me my right to my opinion.
