Forgive me if I sound d...Thanks for sharing, Robb.<br /><br />Forgive me if I sound dense, but could you explain what you mean by saying that "a lot of Roman Catholics are Protestant", based upon my fist point? Do you mean to say that many RCs deny (or at least don't really believe in) the affirmations of the Creed? If so, I must say that, in my limited experience, I have not found that to be true, either among RC clergy or laity. Perhaps this says something about the circles in which I move. Also, I'm afraid I don't understand the connection with "think(ing) of Protestantism in genealogical terms".Rob Scothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072843841380642362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740068143646811200.post-69286110093402790452013-08-09T09:33:28.648-07:002013-08-09T09:33:28.648-07:00Great post.
I share a lot of your thoughts here....Great post. <br /><br />I share a lot of your thoughts here. As an Anglican Catholic, I often find myself returning to the words of Thomas Ken, "I die in the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith, professed by the whole Church before the disunion of East and West. More particularly I die in the Communion of the Church of England as it stands distinguished from all Papal and Puritan innovations." <br /><br />And based upon your first point above, a lot of Roman Catholics are really Protestant. As such, I think it's helpful to think of Protestantism in genealogical terms. <br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />RobbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
