Help me Sir, to understand your motive for shutting down the OP question asked by Patrick Ambrose? Explain, if you can how your tactics will help Roman Catholics achieve their desired unity with protestants?
There is a significant error in the OP’s post.
I am Catholic and raised to believe in a unity among all Christianity. I’ve always spoke with others of other Christian churches and spoke of similarities. The main one? Christ crucified, died and rose from the dead for our sins. It’s interesting to me that we start there and then all of a sudden, in some case, conflicts are brought up. Then, the next thing I notice is that I’m attacked for things half truths of what I believe. So, I’d like to see how long this string can go without someone taking a jab at another Christian faith (or, for that matter, negativity toward any other religious group). I say, let’s try and keep this going and see where it leads. If you don’t have anything positive to say (even if it is a belief that is unlike mine); just move onto another site. But if there is something positive to say, please post it. Sound good?
First: there are no other “Christian churches”, Christ only established one Church, the Catholic Church.
Dominus Iesus…
On the other hand, the ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery,61 are not Churches in the proper sense; however, those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ and thus are in a certain communion, albeit imperfect, with the Church.62 Baptism in fact tends per se toward the full development of life in Christ, through the integral profession of faith, the Eucharist, and full communion in the Church.63
“The Christian faithful are therefore not permitted to imagine that the Church of Christ is nothing more than a collection — divided, yet in some way one — of Churches and ecclesial communities; nor are they free to hold that today the Church of Christ nowhere really exists, and must be considered only as a goal which all Churches and ecclesial communities must strive to reach”.64 In fact, “the elements of this already-given Church exist, joined together in their fullness in the Catholic Church and, without this fullness, in the other communities”.65 “Therefore, these separated Churches and communities as such, though we believe they suffer from defects, have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church”.66
…
There are elements of truth in other Christian communities, but they are not properly called the Church which possesses the fullness of truth.
If the OP is expecting the Gospel to not be contentious they are mistaken:
[bibledrb]matthew 10:32-40[/bibledrb]
I know the non-Catholic clergy coming into communion with the Church are from all different backgrounds, not just mainline Protestantism.
