Son of a virgin, maker of thy mother,
Thou, rod and blossom from a stem unstainèd,
While we a Virgin's triumphs are rehearsing,
Hear our petition!

Lo, on thy handmaid fell a two-fold blessing,
Who, in her body vanquishing the weakness,
In that same body, grace from heaven obtaining,
Bore the world witness.

Death, nor the rending pains of death appalled her;
Bondage and torment found her undefeated:
So by the shedding of her blood attained she
Heavenly guerdon.

Fountain of mercy, hear the prayers she offers;
Purge our offences, pardon our transgressions,
So that hereafter we to thee may render
Praise with thanksgiving.

Thou, the All-Father, thou, the One-Begotten,
Thou, Holy Spirit, Three in One co-equal,
Glory be henceforth thine through all the ages,
World without ending.
Amen.

The RCC and ACC (American Catholic Churches) have their unique interpretations of doctrine/dogma just as do Protestants. That's religion!

So as previously posted we can agree to disagree without ill will.​

Perhaps you have accomplished your objective in getting a few Protestants to believe that one's SALVATION is less complicated via say Roman Catholic sacraments than via the disunity that exists among so many Protestant denominations.

True SALVATION is not so much a Christian religion/denomination as it is one's intimate relationship with the Father by Way of Christ Jesus as one's Lord and Savior; whether Jesuit or Lutheran or Messianic or .... .

If I speak with the eloquence of men and of angels, but have no love, I become no more than blaring brass or crashing cymbal. If I have the gift of foretelling the future and hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but the very secrets of God, and if I also have that absolute faith which can move mountains, but have no love, I amount to nothing at all. If I dispose of all that I possess, yes, even if I give my own body to be burned, but have no love, I achieve precisely nothing.​

Blessings to You and Yours with Joy, Peace and Love during the Holidays, New Year and Eternally​

American Catholic Churches?

Are you talking about one of the small Old Catholic communities?
