Throw a fit? Really Kevin? You don’t know me but somehow you can read in to what you want in my posts? I haven’t thrown any fits. When I do I’ll be sure to let you know. Just say you can’t support what you say about the early church fathers and the real prescence. I’m okay with that. It is clear you have not studied the matter to any serious degree.

God bless

Artie nice post thanks. I don’t mind the sparring, as long as things don’t get out of hand it can be sharpening.

Your against taking a class about Catholicism? Then coming on these boards and trying to tell us what the Catholic Church teaches? Interpreting a Pope through the mind of a protestant just ain’t gonna do anything but paint foolish all over your posts.

I believe this was a good conversation. Kevin thank you for your time an patience. I hope you don’t feel like any of us were personally attacking you, I know that was not my goal. My only intent was to help address misunderstandings of the Catholic faith. Trust me there are numerous misconceptions about what we as Catholics believe.

Catholics have nothing to hide, the Catechism, the Bible, and Magesterium documents are available to everybody.

I will admit as big as the Catholic Church is, it is probably the most misunderstood because people really don’t want to hear the truth of what the Church actually teaches.

I agree that scripture is consistent! Scripture is the Word of God, I believe everything scripture says is true. I don’t believe it is always interpreted correctly by people who read it on their own.

Catholicism is not tradition minus scripture. Catholicism is Sacred Tradition carried down from the apostles, Sacred Scripture which was given to us by the Church, and Magesterium Teaching who derives everything from Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture.

We never got any closure on Augustine and real prescence because you made the accusation that some of the fathers didn’t believe in it but never backed up your statement. You get alot from us because we as Catholics understand Catholicism and back up our statements historically, with fathers, councils, and popes, and scripturally. It all fits together. But you see confussion only because you are in confusion and division of protestantism and your human reaction is I’m fine where I am at because there is so much confusion. Come in, the water is fine.

RCIA will be starting soon. WHy don’t you go through it. Your not required to join. It’s just a class about the CC and at the end if you want to join it’s up to you. Contact the parish nearest you and they should have a class.
