Catholics are Christian, but they aren’t Protestant.
Considering the thing thing that Protestants protested was catholic rule….
It would be awkward if they were.
Catholicity, namely that your church is the unbroken chain back to St Peter, is claimed by several denominations not just Roman Catholics
Including the Protestant episcopal church that considers itself catholic.
That’s because it is part of the Anglican communion who actually make that claim.
Peoples front of Catholicism NOT the Catholic people’s front
I get the quote but it was The Church of England that made this claim. It was necessary at the time because catholicity was important to people at the time who largely believed what the Holy See claimed was fact. If the CoE was the one true church then Henry’s sacking of Roman Catholic churches and monasteries to finance his wars and debts was righteous.
I am fairly aware, I was raised in the church and my dad is an episcopal priest.
The history of the church was the last “fun” thing about church for me.
I said this to my Dad before and drilled me how Catholics are not Christian and my Mum will say the same.
You're probably right, my parents are crazy in my eyes. How they got married at all is a "miracle" lol
Wonder who the guy on the Catholics' cross is then
Probably not Republican White Jesus, which is why some would consider them not Christian.
Absolutely guessing. I'm not an American so these weirdo Republicans don't make sense to me.
Your parents are incredibly incorrect on this. Maybe try google.
How I was brought up and yes I agree.
Information is wrong, I see other replies with accurate information. I can tell them, but they are stuck in their ways.
That’s a common lie Protestant pastors tell their congregations in order to create an enmity between their people and Catholics. They do it for other Christian denominations too, like Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Seventh Day Adventists.
Can’t have their income source go to a competing church, now can they?
