If you mean correct their doctrine / theology etc., you could do it if you created a watertight argument using only the bible and no other authority. Essentially, you’d have to argue on their ‘turf’.

Why do so many people on that site dislike us so much?

Perhaps it has something to do with religious wars, when “Protestants” or people with a viewpoint that differs from the RC POV, were burned at the stake. It is not that much fun to be tied to a stake and have maggots crawling over you and then they burn you? And they point to Tyndale, who was burned at the stake after translating the Bible into English.
On January 21, 1535, in the aftermath of “The Affair of the Placards,” French Protestants were burned at the stake in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. During the reign of Catholic Mary I of England (1553–1558), there were more than 100 Protestants burned at the stake.

Why do you present the statistics in so one-sided a fashion? Saying mass carried the death penalty during Elizabeth I’s reign, and while that was not executed early in her reign, over 80 Catholics were executed, including priests and catholics who harbored them. The bitter blood went both ways, in more places than England.
 
I the university Church in Oxford, there’s now a memorial to those executed on both sides. Not sure how that sort of memorial really works though…
 
Yes, and just to be clear, I’m not saying tit for tat makes right. I’m just saying the presented statistics in the post I replied to is one sided.

. This is not the case in Catholicism.

I have to ask.

How can a Catholic authoritatively correct a non-Catholic? It has never been done and I am intrigued how it can be done?

I didn’t mean to imply it does. The point was that there is no corrective authority outside or mechanism Catholicism.

Peace!!!
 
I have to say that when I read about all the Protestants being killed, it did leave me thinking that it was a one sided tragedy.
 
Also, some people make it sound like a pope ordered a bunch of priests or other catholics to go kill protestants.
 
Oh, sorry. I didn’t intend to accuse you of that!

Edit: I think I replied to the wrong post, but same user. Lol

Q327. What positive proof have you that the Catholic Church is the only true Church?
The proof lies in the fact that the Catholic Church alone corresponds exactly to the exact religion established by Christ. Now the Christian religion is that religion which—
(a) Was founded by Christ personally;
(b) Has existed continuously since the time of Christ;
(c ) Is Catholic or universal, in accordance with Christ’s command to go to all the world and teach all nations;
(d) Demands that all her members admit the same doctrine;
(e) Exercises divine authority over her subjects, since Christ said that if a man would not hear the Church he would be as the heathen.

Now the Catholic Church alone can claim—

(a) To have been founded by Christ personally. All other Churches disappear as you go back through history. Christ said, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.” There are many claimants to the honor of being Christ’s Church. But among all non-Catholic Churches, we find one built on a John Wesley; another on a Martin Luther; another on a Mrs. Eddy, etc. But the Catholic Church alone can possibly claim to have been built on Peter, the chief of the Apostles, and one-time Bishop of Rome.
(b) To have existed in all the centuries since Christ.
(c ) That every one of her members admits exactly the same essential doctrines.
(d) To be Catholic or universal.
(e) To speak with a voice of true authority in the name of God.

It does…and, well I might as well ask it. Did any Popes order Protestants or other human beings to die?

Please see post # 32 ( approximate number). I said that 70000 or so were executed under Henry VIII and 290 Protestants under Mary I.
The question was why some Protestant sites have posters who dislike Catholics. I gave one possible reason, although I believe that there are at least a few others.
 
And from me I mean no disrespect when I say and really try to convey this on Catholics. From a Protestants point of view it is not any different! As in really none at all!

They probably did. But also that is not the “protestant argument”
 
It isn’t something the Church would do as it would be against the teachings of the Church.

Are you saying Christianity has no definitive way of clearing up confusion?

Peace!!!
 
Wait what did I say?

I have been accused of many things on here I never uttered. So please. No words from me I never intended!

I am sorry but if you have a little understanding of history then you would see “church for what it was”.

Some say on here check the history… I say the same. It only takes history and then you realise Newman had it WRONG!

You continue to compound the confusion to the readers here. Can you explane where this “maybe” would come from for those who would be searching? The people on CARM think they know. Do they find it there?

Peace!!!
