Paladin D Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Just incase anyone was interested. It does list some positives about Protestantism, but it also lists the negatives.

[/quote] what wasn't there to take offense to? comparing the christian faith to postmodern secularism? how would YOU feel if I wrote a very nice, very wordy article about how the Catholic Church is comparable to satanists? getting past all the jargon...its basically making any noncatholic out to be a touchy feely do-it-yourselfer. anthropological pessimism? yeah...thats just great.

Justified Saint Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Lumber, how about we stop with the double standard. By that standard just about everything you write is a diss on the Catholic Church and far worse, just look at your above post. You have even engaged in character assasination saying to individuals that they can't think for themselves and in essence are ignorant. Yet there is hardly a comparison in the approach and scholarly criticisms in the above article and your posts. I don't think you have a whole lot of room to talk.

[/quote] LOL protestantism is not a faith.... it is a collection of faiths. There are many protestant faiths... over 34,000.... Ignorance is not bliss, you should really study before you make comments on things Catholic, because Catholic is one faith, there are ample sources that you can see exactly what we will rebut your arguments with... be smart, beat us at our own game, search the Catholic sites we use, and study and rebut the articles before hand, then when we bring them up you'll be able to crush our error... www.NewAdvent.org www.Catholic.com www.Catholic-pages.com God Bless, ironmonk Edited April 13, 2004 by ironmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Friday Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I didn't find anything particularly offensive in the article, but then again, I'm not a Protestant. I just hope this thread doesn't become "Why Protestants Stink, Part One Billion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Good article. It's not bashing, It's just displaying objective truths. Historically Protestantism breeds individualistic and revolutionary action. Look at England, the Anglican Church tried to hold onto many aspects of Catholicism, especially the Authority of Tradition and Liturgy, in order to prevent revolutionary protestantism from flinging them into wars and peasant revolts. It ultimately failed, because they arguably went too far, or just not far enough, and BAM Civil War and 20 years without Christmas and dancing.
