    Turning Away From The Protestant Faith

    Go to the Orestes Brownson website (orestesbrownson.com) and look up his four part article "The Two Brothers- or What are you a Protestant?" It was helpful to me even after I converted! Thanks. St. Daggett

    Essential Christianity

    So just the Gospel... what of the other commands? Is some of what God tells us essential and other thing He tells us non-essential as far as commands go? Thanks. St. Daggett

    Essential Christianity

    Given that there is no salvation outside of Christ, then I suppose that those who are not in Christ when they die are not saved. Thanks. St. Daggett

    Essential Christianity

    Belief implies not only head. It implies the greatest commandments. Love God with your heart, soul, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself. Head belief only is meaningless. Thanks. St. Daggett

    Essential Christianity

    I ask you all: What is essential Christianity? That is, what is necessary for a person to believe to be saved? or the negative way to put it, what must a person positively deny in order to be damned? Another way to ask it is What are God's commands to us? Shall I assume here that we all will...

    Equal authority of Tradition to Scripture

    So is your point not that this was a new doctrine that came out of Trent? I thought it was what you were driving at. I also did not take you to be using the term declare in the technical sense. If you were, then my apologies. But then, what is your point? If you were being technical in your...

    Equal authority of Tradition to Scripture

    Where did you hear that? Can you quote that for certain? Have you ever looked at Denzinger's "Sources of Catholic Doctrine"? My friend, you are sorely mistaken. Study to show thyself informed and then approved by even your intellectual foes. Thanks. St. Daggett

    I'm Fully Persuaded to be a Catholic are You and please state WHY?

    Having looked at the ECUSA very hard before moving to Rome, I do not see why a Catholic should not be able to use the term "heresy" when speaking about some Anglican doctrines and practices. They have a church recognized support organization for gays and lesbians in the church- hey there's a...

    I'm Fully Persuaded to be a Catholic are You and please state WHY?

    It was definitely the idol worship that led me out of Reformed Presbyterian Calvinism. That topped it. Just the goosebumps I get when I lay flat on my face before a idol of a certain woman and worship it is the only god. Other than that, small little things like superior logical and...

    How do Catholic & Protestant Bibles Differ?

    Sirach, wisdom of solomon, tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 maccabees and Baruch. Thanks. St. Daggett

    Christs before Christ? Did Jesus even exist?

    The view that Jesus may never have even existed is really not even on the "scholar's map" as it were. Even the extremely liberal Crossan and a little less liberal Borg do not subscribe the notion that Jesus never existed. Seriously, my friend, only someone really really hoping that Jesus is a...

    Infallibility: What's the deal?

    I think there are rules for writing here. One is not misrepresenting your own view. I think willfully misrepresenting another's view is just as reprehensible. If those above are ignorantly misreprestenting Catholicism and Infallibility then I can forgive ignorance. I have a feeling though...
