Ok, so he proved what was in question. Do you question it is "in use"? (LOL)quote=lionroar0;What you have provesn is that it was used. Not that it's in use.
Why take it as disrespect? Don't dignify it as such, if it is. I got black friends who call each other the "N word" using it as a term of endearment.And what do you expect when you asked with out respect and started off by calling us romanist?
From whom? It hasn't worked that way yet. You are different from some of the knucklheads that only use a friendly gesture as ammunition or bait.If you want to be called christian then give some respect. You may just get some back in return.
LOL, lionroar, you must realize "Catholic Christian" is what one of the afore-mentioned has taken to calling themself?I would be willing to call you Reformed Christian. If you would be willing to meet me half way and drop the Roman for Catholic Christian.
Lionroar, I think it is slightly unreasonable to ask people not to call us "Roman Catholic" because the parish I go to has a sign that says "Roman Catholic Church" right under the name.I would be willing to call you Reformed Christian. If you would be willing to meet me half way and drop the Roman for Catholic Christian.
Lionroar, I think it is slightly unreasonable to ask people not to call us "Roman Catholic" because the parish I go to has a sign that says "Roman Catholic Church" right under the name.
But I think Reformed Christian is a good name for Christians who are what is commonly called "protestant" I can understand why you would not like the term "protestant"
If he could produce more up to date documents. Then he would have an argument. He has documents going back 100 of yrs. He has to get from there to here.Ok, so he proved what was in question. Do you question it is "in use"? (LOL)

Personally I am Roman Catholic.
pass tense, those terms are not common anymore, if they became common agian I would use the terms Reformed Catholic and Evangelical Catholic.Actually, we called ourselves, "Reformed Catholics and Evangelical Catholics" before the Roman slurs and smears were invented.
you like to use a slur to refer to Roman Catholics, you like to call us "Romanists", now you are twisting words to justify using these terms, your motivation is born out of hate and is unchristian. I ask for a little respect, "Roman Catholic" is a common term, calling us "Romanists" or "Romans" is offensive.
Also what theological works call the Roman Catholic Church "Romanist"? Is it biased?
Actually, we called ourselves, "Reformed Catholics and Evangelical Catholics" before the Roman slurs and smears were invented.
Any particular reason why you've failed to retain the Catholic part?
You probably wouldn't....
Rick, I was going to make a joke about this but I do not want to get banned
Yo mah Romans!Lionroar, I think it is slightly unreasonable to ask people not to call us "Roman Catholic" because the parish I go to has a sign that says "Roman Catholic Church" right under the name.
But I think Reformed Christian is a good name for Christians who are what is commonly called "protestant" I can understand why you would not like the term "protestant"
Its not up to me but thanks for thinking so highly of me.By the way, you can also drop the fallacy of "We are the one, true only Church that Christ Himself established".
My answer to you got reported by some hypersensitive child as racist stereotyping flame & then deleted.
You make ME wanna be called Roman, girlfriend!Yo mah Romans!
I've read some of this thread and found it informative,
humerous in partsand sort of silly in others...
But one thing that I've noticed here at Gt, is that this
term, romans, has been used both ways.
It all depends on the spirit it's used in.
And then it's the context that's telling.
So I'd say, sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's uncool
(love machiavelli)
Same with protestant, sometimes it's just used as
a frame of reference, sometimes it's used as a hateful
term.
Same with traditionalists, reformers,... I guess
you get the gist by now.
So my advice would be to assume the best, not try
to judge peoples motives (hearts), and just respond
as you feel God would want ya to, and take the
higher road, be the bigger guy/gal, heap some coals.
Like rick once suggested, celebrate the name, make
it a seem a "COOL" label, Change it from a negative
to a positive... (Yo mah protestant)
NOT that anyone asked for my advice, but when's
that ever stopped me?
I know, sometimes I'm no fun.
