Well, for starters they are Jesuits......it's sort of dark Catholic humor, but it has a lot of relevance...even before "Liberation Theology" they've always operated a bit beyond their mandates . A lot of times whole groups have been excommunicated from the Church for disobeying the Pope himself. They were known as "The Pope's Men" supposedly doing the Pope's bidding.....but sometimes they didn't.


Episcopals....c'mon the Archbishop of Canterbury has ki n da said that the Church of England should not call itself a Church anymore

If this were true, it would be reflected in the writings of the early church, both in the East and the West.

It's not. Real Presence of Christ was a fundamental block of Christian Theology until the Reformation and, chiefly, Zwingli. Nothing in Luther's theses refer to a disagreement about the Real Presence.

As for the Ecumenism, the real unity would be between the East and the West. The Protestants have created a new faith, with its own traditions and rites. The East and West have a greater chance to reunite.

Presbys and Prots will not entertain sacerdotalism.

I haven’t read the full document you linked, but the quoted language does not, IMO, offer much hope of unity between Catholics and Protestants.

Yes, papal primacy is an obstacle to ecumenism, but it is not the primary obstacle. The doctrine of the sacraments, the method and process by which grace is conferred to men, the doctrine of justification, and the doctrine of sanctification are the primary obstacles.

Not even to mention issues such as exegesis, church governance, and canonical authority outside scriptures.

Ecumenism would be great, but these would be deal breakers for both sides.


That sounds really unnecessarily complicated.

Go atheist. You'll no longer have to concern yourself with such things.

This is not a Political topic. It is a Theological topic and does not belong on the Political Talk of Tigerdroppings.

You have the Roman Church and the Orthodox Church. Pick one. The others are on a detour to the Path to God.

Most Protestant sects do indeed consider Roman Catholics to be NON-Christians and OUTSIDE of the Body of Christ's Church. That's why we have so much hate for Catholics around here.

EVERY day it's another Theological thread about Roman Catholic theology.

Another Protestant lie.

The Roman Church officially believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist back to the earliest days of the Church. That's why the Roman Empire considered the Christians to be cannibals.

Stop lying.

Doesn't sound that way to me. I sense a bunch of anxiety over meaningless crap.

But carry on.

The Great Schism of 1054 had NOTHING to do with Protestantism.

It was the Bishop (pope) in Rome splitting with the other 4 Bishops of Christendom…the Holy Orthodox Church.

History matters. As such, it wasn’t till 1500s when Protestant movements split from Roman “Catholics” who went their own way in 1054 from the Holy Orthodox Church which has never changed.

Yeah, the guy who told us ERRONEOUSLY that Heaven's Gates were open before Christ died on the Cross.

He is an expert in his own flawed Calvinist Theology and nothing else.

This is 100% correct. Our closest relative, Eastern Orthodox, has to be brought in first. The papacy and filioque have to be reconciled for this to happen. Russian Orthodox would be up next IMO.

If you want to be Catholic, you can convert.

As a Catholic, I don't care about the inner-workings and policy decisions of the Presbyterian church.


100% agreed. To think other organizations actually think Catholics sit around trying to figure a way to add them back is incredible.

Any non-Catholic Christian organization is an offset to the original. Yall left, be gone.

Go make yalls money setting up these mini-liberal acceptance camps that break up after half the group disagrees about a rule. Laughable.

Yes, it was widely believed and accepted, but the belief was not universal, and there were notable detractors from this belief. The disagreement existed peacefully within the Church until the time of Lanfranc.

Rome teaches a false gospel that doesn't save. That makes them non-Christians in the strictest sense. However, I don't hate them for it, at least not the run-of-the-mill Catholic who doesn't know better. Those false teachers who willingly lead people astray? That's a different story.

Not quite. When Catholicism is in the news, typically a thread is made. It's not like a theological discussion randomly breaks out every day.

Also, I'm still waiting for your response in the the Pope thread from the other day

Actually, you are the one who is saying this, not Jesus.

Jesus didn't add the word "literal", you did (technically Rome did).
