It's a fact.That is fatuous.
He said he doesn't take stock in the edict that his decision to become a Protestant Christian means he's going to Hell. It should be obvious that no Protestant Christian or Orthodox Christian takes stock in that.I discuss beliefs with anybody who is willing to "hear", but when I am told that what comes from a Catholic perspective will be ignored then the discussion is effectively over, as I said previously.
How is it a silly and pointless comment to say the Catholic church itself is part of the Christian faith?It's just fatuous.

He said he was a Catholic who deliberately and apparently knowingly left the Catholic faith to join some other faith and who has adopted the language and terms used within Protestantism as blatant and subtle critiques of Catholicism. Then he added that he doesn't take stock of Catholic views on the matter under discussion in this thread.He said he doesn't take stock in the edict that his decision to become a Protestant Christian means he's going to Hell.

They said Catholicism isn't the only Christian faith acceptable to God. Or put another way, Catholicism isn't the entire Body of Christ.What is fatuous is to say that Catholicism is not a faith.
So one can't retain their faith in Christ when they leave Roman Catholicism and become an Anglican Christian or Orthodox Christian? Or that their faith in Christ becomes null and void? - If that's the case then what's being said is that faith in Roman Catholicism supersedes faith in Jesus Christ.He said he was a Catholic who deliberately and apparently knowingly left the Catholic faith to join some other faith and who has adopted the language and terms used within Protestantism as blatant and subtle critiques of Catholicism.

That is incorrect, go back and read the chain of linked posts.They said Catholicism isn't the only Christian faith acceptable to God. Or put another way, Catholicism isn't the entire Body of Christ.
Now your post is just a fanciful misconstruction of what was said. Go back and read the posts that link back to the beginning and see for yourself how erroneous your summary is.So one can't retain their faith in Christ when they leave Roman Catholicism and become an Anglican Christian or Orthodox Christian? Or that their faith in Christ becomes null and void? - If that's the case then what's being said is that faith in Roman Catholicism supersedes faith in Jesus Christ.
That just indicates a possible contradiction and or ambiguity between what was said then and what was said recently.Now your post is just a fanciful misconstruction of what was said. Go back and read the posts that link back to the beginning and see for yourself how erroneous your summary is.
I had already done that. Perhaps it should have been worded something more like: So the Catholic church, itself, is not the faith but part of the Christian faith. Or put another way, Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican aren't separate faiths, but rather parts of the same faith in Jesus Christ. They're all of the Christian faith in Jesus Christ.That is incorrect, go back and read the chain of linked posts.
It was worded as it was and no fancy of yours will change it.Perhaps it should have been worded something more like ...
Why is there so much hostility in your replies? I'm getting weary of being snapped at.It was worded as it was and no fancy of yours will change it.
There is precision in them, accuracy, not hostility.Why is there so much hostility in your replies?
Okey dokey.There is precision in them, accuracy, not hostility.
I was agreeing with the person who said this;It's just fatuous.
Bing (chatgtp) tells me this:
The Catholic faith is a branch of Christianity
I said that Catholicism is a part of Christianity, rather than a separate faith.I do not think you agreed.
So of course I agreed.Bing (chatgtp) tells me this:
The Catholic faith is a branch of Christianity
no, you skipped a word, the one you eschewed to use of Catholicism earlier.I said that Catholicism is a part of Christianity, rather than a separate faith.
The FAITH is Christian; the Catholic church is part of that.
So of course I agreed.
Catholics are my brothers and sisters in Christ. I said that.
