Subject: catholic and protestant salvation view |
Bible Note: "Thankfully Joe the buck doesn't stop with you. :-)" Well, I can agree with you there. "And as you know, the door swung both ways on condemnations in those days." Yes, but that doesn't address the material question I addressed. Was Trent wrong about us Protestants? Are we anathema? Is the Catechism right when it says I am basically a Roman Catholic, although a separated one in denial? So whom should I believe? The 19th ecumenical council (ratified by Pius IV), or the 1994 Catechism (given the nod by John Paul II)? I really do not intend to take an ad hominem stance, Emmaus. I simply cannot grasp how one can hold to the infallibility of the Church of Rome and reconcile these two crystal-clear official dogmatic documents. If you can help me out in seeing the harmony between the two without minimizing what either of them say, I remain fully open to let the buck pass to you... --Joe! |
