I doubt I shall be taking up that book recommendation Bob. I see it is published by Amer Atheist Press. I don't know the publishing house, but it doesn't sound like a source of spiritual enlightenment. |

Putting the "Fun Dame" into Fundamentalist

I haven't been saying that Protestant people aren't Christian - just that they're denominations aren't. My view of denominations is stricter than my view of individuals. |

Who said anything about sending them to Coventry or being unfriendly? I am quite capable of being friends with Protestants who don't think I am a Christian. It's not a problem. You don't have to agree with people on everything to be friendly with them. Edited by Clare, Thursday, 30. April 2009, 14:10.

Absolutely right.
The truth is that Vatican II's decree on ecumenism is not what would be recognised as Catholic teaching by any pope prior to 1960. Anything from V2 which the saints and popes and doctors would not recognise, is not definitive Catholic teaching. And if you can only cite V2 to back up a position, then that position is also not in line with constant Catholic teaching. The challenge is to find evidence that a teaching is compatible with what the Church has always taught. Not just what has been taught in the last 50 years and in flat contradiction with what was taught before. If what the SSPX teaches is not Catholic, then there were no Catholics before 1960. |

Well, for a start, it's not about what we want. We aren't the Just Judge, after all. And, it's about what we are at the moment of death. Perhaps he died a Catholic, and only God knew. The fact remains that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. Anyone who is saved died a Catholic, whether we're aware of that fact. And being a Catholic is no guarantee of salvation. |

No they aren't. They are anathema. (Galatians).
There were plenty of heretical movements before "the Reformation", and plenty more after. The teaching still stands. Unless you can show that some post-"Reformation" popes (and I mean from before 1958!) took a more conciliatory line towards Protestantism. |

The second Vatican Council has the full Authority of the church. Pope John XXIII called the Ecumenical council and when he died Pope Paul VI reconvened the council. To deny the authority of the popes is unacceptable. What entitles you or anyone else to claim that this pope or that is valid? How about Pope Alexander VIII who blessed King Billy's Army that beet James II at the battle of the Boyne. In gratitude for which the English Crown paid for the Building of the Royal College of St Patrick at Maynooth for the formation of Roman Catholic Priests. Quite a few Irish people would not be too happy with that and so may declare Alexander VIII an Anti-Pope. Others may claim that Pius V was an Anti-pope because he insisted on reforming the Liturgy and introducing the Tridentine missal in 1570, goodness knows how the church managed in the 1500 odd years before. I am sorry Clare but this will not do support the old mass by all means but do not presume to deny the validity of the Papal election of Pope John XXIII and his successors. |

"I am sorry Clare but this will not do support the old mass by all means but do not presume to deny the validity of the Papal election of Pope John XXIII and his successors." I would support Penfold 100% in this. It would seem that your attitude here is " If I don't like the message them i'll shoot the messenger." |

Jesus promised "For where two or three meet in my name, I am there among them". Do you think that when the Methodists gather for their service on a Sunday, that Jesus goes back on His word because they've chosen the wrong place to meet? |

Clare isn't a sedavacantist, she just doesn't like some of the things written and said by Pope John XXIII and his successors. |

Clare you know the score. Catholic Cyberforum is proud to honour the Papacy, and that includes the late twentieth century popes. We don't permit support of SSPX and your arguments are in line with their policies, not with those of the current Holy Father.. |

May I suggest there are no Catholics in Heaven ---- no non-Catholics in Heaven either, yet there must be countless millions of people, whatever they were on earth. |

Hmmm - I think there are souls in heaven not people? Stand to be corrected of course. Pax CARLO |
