Time for Non-Catholic Christians (Protestants) to stop reading Anti-Catholic material

[Mannyfit75]

Greetings,

Peace in Christ be with you. Since I have been absent here due to my uncharitable conduct I have spend most of my time refuting Protestants in Youtube.com who have been preaching false misconceptions of Catholicism.

I have many discussions with them. I also encounter devout Catholic Apologist on Youtube who defend the Church very well.

I think it is time for you to stop reading material written by Ex-Catholics, James White’s AOM, Jack Chick’s Tract, BereanCalls, Lorraine Boettner’s Roman Catholicism, and other materials written by professional Anti-Catholics, and stop reading material written by Liberal Catholics (Caferia Catholics).

Instead, I recommend that if you want the CORRECT Catholic Teachings. You need to buy Fr. Corapi’s Catechism of the Catholic Church, his lecture on Dei Verbum, The Sixteen Documents of the Second Vatican Council, the William Jurgen’s Early Church Fathers, Catholicism for Dummies, and approve Catholic websites.

Many of the YouTubers who are Non_Catholic Christians who preached misconceptions about the Catholic Church received many of their information from Anti-Catholic materials and I believe some of them may have received their info about Catholicism from pastors who have Anti-Catholic feelings.

We do not expect you to believe what we Catholics believe, but we do expect you to understand our faith. That is all that we ask for.

Correct! Stating that a person who wants to learn what a particular church believes should go to the source is only good common sense. Sadly, common sense does not seem to come easy to some.

I would agree that to learn about Catholicism we should look to Catholic sources. However, I also think that turn around is fair play. Catholics should see what Protestants believe from sources like the various denominations websites and not from things sources like the Catholic Encyclopedia, Catholic apologists or other Catholic sources.

Base from my own encounters with Protestants, I cannot fully entrust some websites about their what their churches actually teaches.

There is no centralize system of authority and from what I learned, Ministers or pastors does not mandate their parishioners to believe certain precepts of their church teachings on faith and morals.

For example, the Anglican Church for instance disagree on the issue of homosexuals. There those who are on the conservative side which believe that marriage is between a man and woman. While there are those, who disagree.

Anglican Church is just one sect of Protestantism which does not have defined view on doctrines concerning morality.

I guess the diverse interpretation of Scripture has lead to many different interpretation. This is of course due to the fact that Protestantism itself relies so heavily on Sola Scriptura.

I also learned that not all Protestants believe in OSAS and there those who do.

I will note that No-Christians like Mormons have a website which have their own set of belief which are defined according to their own doctrines and beliefs.

Carl,

What credible website should a Catholic rely concerning a certain Protestant Church anyways?

I would imagine that particular church’s website. If, for example, you want to know what the Orthodox Presbyterian Church believes and teaches, go to their website.

I think most people are sensible enough to make up their own minds about what to read and not to read. I think in so far as hate literature goes, anyone who publishes this sort of nonsense, for whatever reason and against whatever community, has a serious psychological pathology they should seek counselling over. While some people are understandably hurt or offended by religious communities or members of communities (including the Catholic Church), in my view the CC is not an evil organisation and also Catholics should be left in peace to worship and exercise their religious freedom and conscience. People who air irrational hatreds towards a community, religious or not, clearly have a serious problem and should not be encouraged or condoned by members or leaders of their own communities.

As for legitimate questioning, analysis, commentary, criticism or argument concerning contentious social, political, moral, philosophical and ethical issues, these should be allowed and encouraged, and not repressed, even if people in such debates adopt different viewpoints. There is a difference between legitimate and rational analysis and criticism and irrational hatred and propoganda against a despised group or community.

It’s ironic that you’re generalizing about non-Catholic Christians.

There is no excuse for ignorance. You can go to a bookstore and buy the CCC. You can look at Catholic websites. The problem with doing the same for Protestantism is that there are those without defined dogma. You couple that to the fact that some of the anti-CAtholics, perhaps most, are from smaller independant sects that really fly under the radar.

Another problem is that there are Catholic-named websites that are not in union with Rome and do not teach correctly. It is hard to blame someone for falling for their evil ways.
