Bible Note: Dalcent, I'm sure you agree that there have been holy "Protestants" and holy "Catholics" (I think particularly about Corrie ten Boom's "The Hiding Place"). It's a drag to get into a shooting match in here, especially when the crux of our calling isn't doctrinal but how we respond to Matthew 25:40, "Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí lo hicisteis." I'm confident it's possible to make a persuasive defense of Catholic faith w/o sparking a mini-reformation in this forum. Colin |
