You weren’t far off the mark. CARM’s logic? (from their website):The news of the existence of the Manhattan Declaration would probably have spread far and wide among Christian groups, including anti-Catholic ones…
Heres a statement which explains the bigots “one significant reason” for not signing:
carm.org/manhattan-declaration
Sorry: the reason i gave earlier is wrong. It`s dangerous to rely too much on our memory.![]()
"However, it is with sadness that CARM cannot sign the declaration for one significant reason: it includes Roman Catholics as Christians3. If CARM were to sign the declaration, it would be inadvertently supporting the anti-Christian teachings within the Roman Catholic Church by implying that Roman Catholicism is Christian when it is not. Does this sound harsh? I suppose it does. But, more important than Christian unity is the truth of God’s word. We must not sacrifice “the faith once and for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3) for a can’t-we-just-all-get-along type of sentiment even if the the intent is truly noble.
CARM stands for orthodoxy and fidelity to the word of God. Therefore, we could no more sign a declaration that included Mormons as Christians any more than we could sign the Manhattan Declaration which calls Roman Catholicism Christian."
They stand for orthodoxy? http://d26ya5yqg8yyvs.cloudfront.net/ImaPoser.gif
Catholicism is the fullness of Christianity. The Catholic Church gave CARM the very Bible they abuse with their man-made and contra-Biblical doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
