After having multiple theological debates with various Protestants, particularly with some that adhere to or are in support of various Cavalry Chapel doctrines/positions (I mention CC because I have an really big axe to grind with them, see the very first blog post on this site), I have come up with the question that no half-way sentient and thoughtful Protestant can ignore. Here it goes....
"As a Protestant, it is generally understood that you disavow any affiliations with the Pope and reject all human traditions. Having said that, how do you explain the fact that you use a book, the Bible, that is a Catholic Tradition, assembled by Catholics and officiated by a Catholic council that was headed by a Pope?"
Strip away the Bible (be it a Protestant or Catholic one) and there is nothing left but confusion. Expect to hear some off-the-wall answer as to how one has been brainwashed by the Catholic Church into accepting that viewpoint.
Silly Protestants, the Bible is for Catholics!
I look forward to seeing some opinions on this matter...

A word of caution, a Christian be he Catholic or Protestant or Orthodox makes a concerted effort to avoid axe grinding. He continues to seek in stead the perfect will of Christ in all circumstances. St. Francis reminds us to be humble like our Savior, The Perfect Lamb of God. Christ, who is our Sacrifice, warns us in St. Matthew Chapter six, to forgive. Something to think about when you hit a wall of bigotry.

This is true. I shall make a more concerted effort in the future.
So true. There are Protestants out there who claim the Pope is the anti-Christ JUST BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE LOVE AND GO TO HIM.
They also tell us that our books are not inspired when we were the ones who said first that there were certain books that are known to be inspired by the Church.
I thank you for posting this. I think more Protestants need to face up to this and convert!
They seek the Truth; they simply do not want that Truth to be the Catholic Church.
Always a pleasure to run into another Mary worshipping Papist...
