It has been my experience that Protestants in general only question Catholic beliefs, not anything related to their own denomination, for the most part.
Sorry, I have to jump in here because this is an annoying habit of chatroom and forum users…
Now, let me put this another way… If O.S. Luke had written:
We would probably need to go to Protestant Sunday school, Protestant Bible studies, and Protestant forums as observers to see if that is really the case. I would expect that Protestants have any many questions about their own denominations’ beliefs as Catholics have about Catholic beliefs. However, Protestants aren’t going to question the beliefs of their own denominations on a Catholic forum. They will ask fellow Protestants for answers.
My experience on this Forum is that Catholics pour out their hearts and minds into responding on various threads.
HI Laura,
That is not how I understand the question of this thread.
There are not hundreds of thousands of protestant sects. But that is another thread. Why don’t you ask people what they believe if you are talking to them?
I have been here a long time(my registration date and post count got lost in the forum crash) and I know most of the protestants here (those who are not new.) I know exactly what they believe because it does get posted. I know I have posted long explanations of my beliefs on more than one occasion here myself. I even know many of the Catholics here and which ones don’t subscribe to all the Catholic teachings and which do. You only have to pay a little attention and ask when you don’t know.
You misunderstood: I said there were “hundreds, thousands…”.
I apologize for misunderstanding.
Well sadly, there has been an awful lot of that flying lately. I will try to call people out on it more often. Usually , though I’d rather debate a serious issue than weather someone is being rude.
I used to have my religion listed as “Non-Denominational Protestant Arminian Christan” but that produced more confusion that it really warranted since i don’t attend a church founded by Arminius nor do I believe in everything he ever said. There just isn’t room to discuss a full set of beliefs in a forum profile. But as I said I have no problem telling all I believe and will answer any question you might have about it, you have only to ask.
I will look for it.
Thank you for the link.HI Laura,
I have yet to find a Protestant or denomination forum I enjoyed that could be comparable to CAF, though I have looked.
There are a few sites that are similar in nature to the Ask an apologist, that are not denominational. One I found to be very accurate on Protestant issues is gotquestions.org/ I wouldn’t call them “Pro-Catholic” though. By the same token I couldn’t call CAF “Pro-Protestant” so take that how you will.

Not helpful.Actually his name is spelled John Henry Neuman. Just wanted to help!
It WAS John Henry Newman, and he was born in London. He was British, not German/Austrian.
Founded the Oxford Movement. Converted to Catholicism. Became a Cardinal of the RCC.

Luke- I’m kinda new here, and was back reading your posts. I enjoy your insights, and appreciate your respect for the Churhes history.

Now Christians can’t have a sense of humor anymore.
Because pope sent crusades against them and they are kind of distant to everything that comes from infallible roman chair.
The Crusades were actually sent against the invaders of Jerusalem, which were mostly Jews and Muslims.
Oh, how about wars against “heretics” in Europe after reformation ?The Crusades were actually sent against the invaders of Jerusalem, which were mostly Jews and Muslims.
