With how much money and effort is being chucked at the catholic movement itll be interesting to see if american denominationalism will return. Will prots submit to lutherans? Will lutherans submit too catholics? Catholics submit too baptists? Guess we'll see
-
@BowsacNoodle @Boomerman Aren't Catholics idolators (saint worship)?
-
@BowsacNoodle It seems like the money is behind catholics so who will hand power to that church over their own.
-
@Boomerman A sizeable number of American Protestants have a serious distrust of Catholics and don't consider them "real Christians". I disagree of course, but I think that's an important thing to factor in. The disagreements are still very real, where interdenominational church stuff will happen in some communities and explicitly leave out the sizeable Catholic population.
>who will hand power to that church over their own.
Maybe the Methodists, Anglicans, and Lutherans might be okay with some sort of power bloc. RCC is very different depending on which diocese and the Bishop's directives. Of course we'd have to see a two-way street with others agreeing to fall in line or work to support a mutual goal. I don't think we'll see much cooperation from evangelicals, with no disrespect meant to them.

@Boomerman >Catholics submit to baptists
Let's not get too fantastical here.
-
@Zerglingman @Boomerman That's generally a misconception or bad faith accusation. I say generally, because there are culturally Catholic types who treat statuettes and icons as good luck charms and detach things from Christianity in the process. Those types exist in all denominations in different forms (prosperity gospel, pozzed churchianity, etc.) and undoubtedly in other religions. Look at it as asking the holiest person you know to pray for you. Of course I almost always pray directly to God, but I have no problem asking people for help.

@DEERBLOOD @Zerglingman @Boomerman If you had said that to me when I was a Protestant, I would've went holy roller sperg on you. No need to fling 💩 without giving him a chance to answer back.

@BowsacNoodle @Boomerman @DEERBLOOD It's fedi, he can say whatever he wants.
-
@BowsacNoodle @Boomerman Hmm... Fair enough.
-
@BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman And instead of saying
>arent Catholics idol worshippers
He could have used the internet and searched
>Catholic apologetics veneration of saints
-
@Zerglingman @Boomerman @DEERBLOOD Of course he can, but I'm not doing a good job as a Christian if I let my brothers snap like that at what seemed an honest question. Also this thread has been chill and I'd like it to stay that way.
-
@DEERBLOOD @BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman muh intercession
-
@DEERBLOOD @Zerglingman @Boomerman He could've, but would he even know to do that? I grew up evangelical and I'd have been been proud that no apologetics in text from what I thought was "the pharisee cult" would have swayed me. So I gave an honest answer that I've given IRL many times, because that works.

@Granwalder @BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman Aka racial/ethnic/regional/local folk heroes who serve as examples to the faithful
Prots do the same thing except it's Veggie Tales
-
@BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman "Arent they ido worshippers" doesnt sound like an honest question
-
@DEERBLOOD @Zerglingman @Boomerman My brother in Christ, please hear me out. There are Protestants who believe that, along with many other misconceptions about Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and other liturgical Christian denominations. That was addressed, by me, in the very first reply at the top of this thread. Some of them are undoubtedly in our sphere of fedi. I have first hand knowledge of this from churches I attended in my youth. I must extend grace because grace was given to me despite the wicked and incorrect things I once said.
-
@DEERBLOOD @BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman Silence idolaters

@Dan_Hulson @BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman @Boomerman If having an anime pilllow makes one guilty of idolatey then let he who is without waifu throw the first stone

@DEERBLOOD @Zerglingman @Boomerman I think that's two separate issues, but I don't disagree. Ultimately I'd prefer at least a slightly theocratic government.
>Tolerant
The word ecumenical is probably what you meant. I've unfortunately encountered that problem first-hand. Some of it comes from perception issues that I cannot blame them for.
>seeing "Catholic" SCOTUS judges function like atheists in the courtroom
>Seeing a "Catholic" president who openly advocates for unchristian things
>Media bombardment and coordinated attacks against priests (this was before they realized the media lies )
And the list can go on. Regardless, olive branches should be extended even if we have to be the ones to do it.
-
@DEERBLOOD @BowsacNoodle @Zerglingman Broke: hating catholics for their idols
Woke: hating catholics because they cant rotate saints in their head when they pray.
