How can RCs and Protestants reconcile

I'm involved in one right now as a matter of fact!

Who said there was anything wrong with it?
Is there something wrong with calling it that?

That is what GT appears to be mainly about. RCs countering the Reformationist Protestants.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I believest thou are spitting into the wind......

I thought that was what your were implying.

No, nothing wrong at all.

In fact, I think all Catholics should be active both overtly and covertly in counter-reformationist actions.

Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

Yea I agree. But it does provide entertainment here on the GT board

2 Timothy 4:3 For shall be a time when the being sound teaching not they shall be tolerating, but according to the own desires to selves they shall be heaping up Teachers, being tickled of them the hearing 4 And from indeed the Truth the hearing of them they shall be turning-from, upon yet the myths shall be being turning to/ektraphsontai <1624> (5691).

I believe that Jesus is leading the Church into truth. I believe that individual men are in error when they reach conclusions that are contradicted by the Church.

Yes, you said that, but what do you say about my 'post'?
I mean, I keep answering sorta the same question CR. (I know,
I know, you're "persistant" ) Guess I am too.

It's beautiful. You have never experienced the presence of Jesus fully until you are in the presence of his body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist.

I have a request for you. Check your local Catholic Churches to find out when they offer Eucharistic adoration. Some parishes offer perpetual adoration, 24 hours a day.

This is a quiet prayer time where the consecrated host is exposed.

Try to schedule a time to attend an adoration service for a few minutes of prayer before the body and blood of Jesus.

Let me know if you feel the presence of Christ in a new way.

Well, to be honest, I was Catholic for many years.


quote=chestertonrules;50551900]Human beings are flawed.

Catholic Doctrine is singular and true.

We are discussing the truth of doctrine, not the faithfulness of individuals.

They are. They make mistakes. Just as protestants disagree even though
Scripture is correct.

I would agree.

Thankfully, the Catholic Church does not contradict scripture!

Right, we all believe that we have it right, as you said earlier.

They are one of the organizing forces with a global agenda. They, along with banksters are the some of the first people we all should demand transparency from....

LOL Thats funny

Perhaps the RCs should first look inside their own Denomination. Hey lookie here! Some Roman Catholics turned aside to the Satan

1 Timothy 5:15 For already some were turned aside/exetraphsan <1624> (5648) behind the Satan

Well, to be honest, I was Catholic for many years..

Did you once have a belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist that you have since lost?

 

[katholikos]

What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?

What excactly is the topic?

quote=Thekla; Frankly, there were non RC Christians that got embroiled in political intrigue, too. Its unfortunate, but this 'cloak' is not exclusive to the Jesuits.

Of course it isn't. We have Masons to consider, and I already mentioned the banksters as well. There is more than a couple of groups with global agendas. They must all be addressed, but there being more than one is no excuse to dismiss any of them for their crimes. And we're talking about far-reaching political crimes of history shaping proportion. This is a level of entry for anti-RC sentiment more so than resentment of immigrants or fear of Church loyalty outweighing patriotism.

And this sort of thing continues to this day ... the 20th c. is full of it.
(Like McKinley saying God told him to - can't recall his precise terms - free the Filipinos from RCatholicism, then including US missionaries in the quest for US control in the Philippines.)

Yeah, well... Many of our nations politicians and lawyers are educated at Jesuit run universities and belong to groups under their influence. I'm not trying to paint a picture of overwhelming sinister darkness, but to deny these things go on or to trivialize. minimize, or marginalize them is dangerous too.

It was a rhetorical question. You know, sarcasm?

The topic is reconciliation, but all I see is a lot of insults

Love your neighbor as yourself.

NEWSFLASH!

RCC member has moment of clarity. Not yet officially confirmed by the Vatican.

Give me an example.....

 

[Albion]

How about this?

No one uses any post to promote his church.
No one accuses another church of any wrongdoing.
We all discuss ideas for reconciling the churches or people without suggesing that any side has been wrong.

Didn't you just advise me not to spit in the wind?

If that were the case all of Christianity would be Catholic including the Orthodox

We've never not been Catholic... We just use the word Orthodox to distinguish us from the heterodox since Rome hijacked the term 'Catholic'. In our liturgy we always call the church 'One Holy Catholic and Apostolic' (and not just in the creed!).

 

[Rick Otto]

The Suppression of the Jesuits in Portugal, France, the Two Sicilies, Parma and the Spanish Empire by 1767 was a result of a series of political moves rather than a theological controversy[1].

 

[sunlover1]

Oh no.
I believe that it is His body/His blood. Always have and always will.
And yes, the Lord's Supper is a very reverent and amazing time of
the week. In our church, we pray for the sick after communion.

Pardon my correction, but don't you mean you've never been Roman?
we were were all Catholic for the first 1000yrs or so, even if we weren't all Roman.
