I completely agree with you. I once visited the CARM forums and I was horrified at how these “Christians” were acting.

Thanks for the kind words. When I travel north to Portland, I listen to that Catholic radio station. I do enjoy it.

Yep, be careful out there on Christian Forum sites. I do not like Christian Fundamentalism or the right wing conservative circles. I would say independent Baptist fundamentalism would probably be the nastiest toward the Catholic Faith. I find the Reformed circles, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodist etc… have a better grasp of what divides Protestants from Catholics, so they seem a better fit for Catholic Protestant Internet fellowship. Hey, I know Westminster Seminary in Escondido CA has or had Catholic Professors teaching church history to Reformed students at that seminary. Scott Hahn came from the Reformed circles.I completely agree with you. I once visited the CARM forums and I was horrified at how these “Christians” were acting.

Well thank you for the offer. I’m not anti-Rome in the least and will fight shoulder-to-shoulder with my Roman Catholic brethren against sin, the world and the devil, and for the unity of the universal church. I will do so, however, within the Church of England.

But that will never happen until Jesus return. We have just to large of a different in our opinions of things. I highly respect catholic views many of which are vary bold. We need you as well. We need tradition and strong unified leadership among other things. The problem I have is that I am willing to comprises on my views. The catholic church cannot or will not comprises on its traditions (mostly big T but sometimes even small t). I definitely don’t think I am right on all subjects and because of this I can bend. I will not break though completely from what I believe.

But, I think there are a Billion plus Catholics, which I believe Dave was referring to. Also, there are a Billion or so Muslims. They are non-Catholic as well.

No, but the US would be a magnificent country if everyone were Catholic and lived his faith.
Who wouldn’t want that?

Non-Catholic Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Atheist, Agnostics, Jews, Mormons, etc…
Can you identify a few Catholic majority countries around the world? How are they doing? I guess there is only one Catholic theocracy in the world today.

That’s too bad. [said with regret. Not with a sneer.]
That’s like the LGBT community objecting to a US in which Christian marriage is promoted. Too bad, LGBT folks. The truth is the truth. It will set you free. And to the degree that you live your lives in conformity to the Truth is the degree that you will find true joy.
Nope. It’s never been accomplished.
Paraphrasing Chesterton: the Catholic ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.

Edwardian England was actually a properly religious, Christian, Protestant country. The First World War was really the beginning of the end of that. That lively faith, just being there amongst the whole population, is gone. It was an uniquely English type of Christianity, too. It can still be found in some places, but with a tinge of sadness, that, even though it contains the same truths as it always did, that its magnificent compromise - 1662 and all that - is as magnanimous as ever it was, it’s a cry from a lost world.

Are you saying that the Catholic Church does not have any LGBT members in the Catholic Church? Are you saying God only saves heterosexual sinners? Does a person have to change their God given sexual orientation before they become a member of the Catholic Church?

No… God saves the repentant sinner regardless of his predilection.
The Catholic Church (and my Church) and God’s Word have always taught that same-sex acts are a form of adulterous sexual abuse - of not only themselves and each other, but also of God’s creation.
And therefore a sin.
As with all sins, the sinner needs to confess, receive forgiveness, and repent.

Umm…no.
You seem to be demonstrating an inability to grasp analogies here, CU.

Hi, I’m here. And I do believe Catholics are part of the One True Church. But I don’t believe the Catholic hierarchy is the One True Church. But, regardless, we are united in loving and following Christ together.

CU…both homosexuals and heterosexuals, if they believe in Christ, are to be chaste. Do you recall the story of Tobit getting down on his knees and addressing his wife as sister, and that his marriage to her was not based on lust?
Just because you have a Christian marriage, does not mean you can treat your wife any way you want.
It is the inclination of man to see his wife as a possession, and the wife as someone to be possessed…both inclinations based on lust and not on love of personhood.

How do you get Christian theocracy out of someone rejecting relativism?
