  • I have heard that on this forum. The longer I live, the more I believe it. But there are some who are  wannabes, right?

    I don't know. Sometimes I think they just act like they wanna be. But then again, I have met some who seem sincere.

    I would like your thoughts and more importantly, your short stories about people u have known who are Protestants, what % are really wannabes, and etc...

  • I'm more interested as to why you wanted to ask this question as anonymous?
    "there can be no holiness where there is disagreement with the pope" - Pope St. Pius X

    Today, only Catholics holding the sedevacantist position are free from the anguish entailed by this truth.

  • The word Christian has been often used to refer to Protestants loosely and mostly now colloquially, but strictly speaking, they are not Christians and not true ones at that.

    In my experience, Protestants do not think much beyond an oversimplified way of thinking and objectively believe heresy by default, e.g. against papal primacy or purgatory. They are taught the heresy of "sola Scriptura," and many a Catholic today has sadly fallen into a tendency to that to the detriment of their being lack of knowledge of the other font of divine revelation, i.e. Tradition. Even so, Catholics and Protestants may not have an adequate knowledge of the Bible either. Some Protestants might have a better sense of objective truth though than most Catholics today, but they still hold to errors and heresies. Often, as what was told to me by someone years ago, the barrier to conversion is a moral issue like a marital situation involving divorce and shared custody of children.
    "Non nobis, Domine, non nobis; sed nomini tuo da gloriam..." (Ps. 113:9)

    i know this "christian" who believes in once saved always saved but he REFUSES to discuss anything w/ me. IT seems that many of htem are like that.. dont want to discuss things w/ a Catholic! It is like they know deep inside they do not have good arguments for what they believe. I have read the whole Bible, which few protestants I know can say. In fact I can think of NONE who can say that (not that I talk to a lot of them, but over the yrs, i have talked to plenty and none claims to have read the whole thing...). So b/c i have read the whole thing and have HEARD it over and over via Holy Mass, they cannot pull anything over on me.. and so they avoid me like the plague

  • this happens to me EVERY time I interact w/ a Protestant

    They disagree w/ this and that that the Church teaches or they THINK it teaches

    They refuse to listen to arguments of the Church

    and yet they are listening, they just do not have an answer bc you can't argue w/ truth.. .but they have pride so they refuse to admit you might be right, just absolutely cannot abide such a thought

    so they get snarky and say they have things to do and etc... 

    some Christians, eh?

  • it seems that when protestants are snarky, they are VERY snarky. When Catholics get irritated and are tempted toward snark, they are much more civilized about it. THat alone shows that protestantism is false, if nothing else does...

  • It may be statistically true for sure, but is not purely a logical conclusion. It's called inductive reasoning, which is not ironclad, so you shouldn't use it in apologetics.
    it works for me. And when you ignore what is right in your face just b/c your conclusions thereof do not always pass the "inductive reasoning" test, well, maybe you are a moron

  • i know someone who would want to pound on me if I told him i don't believe protesters are Christians.. which kinda proves the point... If you told a Catholic he was not Christian, he might get mad and argue but he wouldn't want to  "pound" on you
