The end of Protestantism

[PRmerger]

There are divisions, ive seen them on here.There are those who think only the latin mass is valid, those who do not recognise vatican 2. I could go on.

Firstly, would you mind using the “quote” feature in order to respond, Burdock?

That way we know exactly which post you are responding to.

Thanks.

Secondly, these divisions are not sanctioned by the Church.

There is only 1 magisterium, and there is only One Faith. And when people deviate from this faith, they are deviating from Christ.

No one is permitted to deviate from Christ and be a Christian. And no one is permitted to deviate from His Body, the Catholic Church, and be a Catholic.

But they do cause division.

What causes division?

 

[Burdock]

These things do cause division I have seen it on the forums several times.

Communion in the hand vs on the tongue? Guitar music vs organ?

Really? That’s what you want to point out as Tu Quoque?

Stop being so sarcastic.

I didn’t say there were no disagreements among people. Sometimes big ones. They can be in error !! Maybe even in Schism or Heresy. But the Holy Catholic Church itself has NO divisions. The Teaching Authority, (Magisterium) of The Catholic Church cannot error. Christ promised His Church would never teach error. The Holy Spirit sees to that. You can trust that!!, God Bless, Memaw

Oh, I am not being sarcastic, Burdock.

Sarcasm is the protest of the weak.

I rarely use it.

But would you mind addressing my question? Is “communion in the hand” and “guitar music” really what you want to point out as divisive examples?

That?

Compared to:

Attend weekly services, don’t have to go to Church
Baptism–immersion? sprinkling? sacrament? ordinance? adults only? infants only?
Can men and women sit together during services?
Charity or no charity (help one another or let them help
Church leadership, or no leadership
Death/Soul Sleep
Divorce
Drinking allowed, drinking not allowed)
Head coverings or no head coverings
Health and wealth gospel
Hell, or no hell
Homosexuality
Is God‘s Holy Name Jehovah
Is it permissible for women to teach Scripture?
Judge others, don’t judge others
Music or no music (Singing or no singing)
Once saved, always saved
Ordination
Predestination
Rapture
Sola scriptura/private interpretation
The Eucharist (Communion)
themselves)
Tongues (some believe others are not saved if they don’t speak in tongues)
Trinity vs. Unitarianism
What is original sin and its effects on humanity
What’s a sin, what is not a sin
When to celebrate the Lord’s Day
Women pastors, no women pastors

Really?

BTW: thank you for learning how to use the “quote” feature.

Christian is the name given to those that followed Jesus Christ. Catholic is the Church that Jesus founded for the Christians to follow after HE died and arose, to be here to guide us till the end of the world. And here it is still doing His work, teaching His truths and administering His Sacraments. AND its not going away folks. And the Catholic Church gave us the Bible that so many like to self interrupt. God Bless, Memaw

Hi, Memaw,

Could you tell me the verse or verses that Christ’s Church would never teach error? I looked but sometimes it’s better for someone who knows to find it for me.

Thanks!

Luke 10:16–He who hears you hears me.

Unless you think that Christ can teach error, when the Apostles taught, they were teaching what He said, and therefore could “never teach error”.

Here are a few things to look up and pray about. Mt 16:18-19, Mt 18: 17-18, Lk 10:16, Jn 14:16, 26, Jn 16:13, I Tim 3:15, I Cor 1:10, Jn 17: 17-23, last but not least, Mt 12: 13-20, God Bless, Memaw

1. It is the Catholic Church’s position that only it has a priesthood that can consecrate the Eucharist and hear confessions. Thus FULLNESS OF FAITH/TRUTH.

This is incorrect. It is the Catholic Church’s position that the Assyrian Church of the East, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and a few other small groups as well, such as the Polish National Catholic Church, have a valid priesthood.

I believe terminology like “seperated brethen” and Catholic’s have the “fullness of truth” **or that the RCC is THE Christian Church, **will automatically bring out the claws. To an informed and faithful Evangelical, those terms are simply untrue and as my grandma would say, “thems fighten words boy!” Lol

Hold on a moment: Are you inferring this ^^ from the fact that some Catholics say that Protestantism is a different religion?

 

[Peter_J]

I would love to see more people differing faith traditions to come here. Maybe you should start scouting other forums.

Though I much admire Catholics who frequently Protestant forums, I must admit that I don’t do so myself. (“Scouting” seems a strange way of putting it in any case.)

Nope. Those that state that are misinformed.

What I mean is when a Catholic states that the Catholic Church was the first and only Church. That is implying that the Catholic Church is The Christian Church and all the others are simply “communities” is what I meant.

You are our separated brethren precisely because you and we both belong to the religion Christianity. (Alternately put, we apply the phrase “separated brethren” only to Christians with whom we are not in full communion. Edit: Oops, I mean “who are not in full communion with us.”)

Hi rfournier. I haven’t read all of your posts, so I don’t know whether you have said where your information comes from. In any case, however, this ^^ is a serious misrepresentation of the Catholic Church’s position.
