Take something Catholic and "tweak" it a little... and make it Protestant….

Looking back on my decades as a Protestant, I think you’re probably right.
My daughter (a professional stage manager who joined the Catholic Church this year) describes it this way: The Catholic Mass is the Real Thing. Everything else is a “pageant” of the Real Thing.
I think that is a very accurate description of Catholicism vs. Protestantism.

Ahhhh, but they do tweak. Lets take sin for example. If someone does something small Catholics call it “venial” protestants say " we all sin were only human keep trucking along" If Catholics do something serious we call it “mortal sin.” Protestants call it “backsliding” Yet many protestants say all sin is equel. It doesnt make any sense. God Bless

Hello Richard 1,
I see that you are a Catholic, so I will just add that the Catholic Church defines Christianity to it’s faithful, the Catholic Church doesn’t “say” anything, God has already said it, the Cannon was closed hundreds of years ago.
BTW (for those who don’t know) Venial and Mortal Sins and the difference between the two, are in the Bible.
Thank you for your post.
Peace.

*Take something Catholic, “tweak” it a little… and make it Protestant….
All Protestantism is…is an exercise in semantics. *
*Every non-Catholic Christian belief today (except for heretical beliefs), are just Catholic beliefs, with a “Protestant twist”. *
One cannot connect the “Christian dots” without connecting the “Catholic dots”!!!

Like how Protestants seemingly claim that Christ gave us a Bible and not a Church. (I know, Protestants, you do not actually say that.)
“Take this book and give it to all the nations.”
wait…that was a mis-translation of mine… ;0)
Preach to all the nations implies some kind of oral tradition.
Take for instance the beginning of Luke’s Gospel:
1 Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us, 3 I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you have received.
The Bible is not the end all be all of Christanity…it is the story of God and His people.

Like how they took the Catholic Bible and tweaked it and made it their own.
I do not see how they trust that the Holy Spirit guided the compiling of the New Testament, but when it came to the Old Testament the Holy Spirit was misguided.

A major non-tweak:
How about the deafening silence coming from Protestantism concerning the evils of contraception?
Even Focus on the Family sends a mixed message about oral contraceptives.
Unbelievable? Here’s your link.

Oh, by the way, have a nice day.

I cannot believe how you consistantly get away with insulting and degrading Protestants here. Your behavior is sinful and unChristianlike sir. This whole line of pointed questions and venom spewing toward anyone who doesn’t see it quite like you and good ole’ Rome is despicable.
