I try my best to be as neutral as possible when it comes to dealing with topics that cross theological lines - between Catholics, Protestants (of all stripes), etc. Especially as I try to keep my focus on the historical ramifications of the issues, and not the issues themselves.<br /><br />I am sure I fail at this often, so I always appreciate feedback in such cases.<br /><br />Bestbionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-52055820399422814082020-10-20T10:55:54.388-07:002020-10-20T10:55:54.388-07:00Mr. M.,

I would also support always continuing ecumenical dialogue, as I believe many (not all) of the disputes are due to not understanding each other well - instead, the disputes are driven by the desire to hold on to earthly power.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-81520426849774935702020-10-18T09:09:55.518-07:002020-10-18T09:09:55.518-07:00I think the best to hope for is that Catholic and ...I think the best to hope for is that Catholic and Protestant find specific issues where we can work together and do so, without trying to convince the other side to become "us".<br /><br />The theological differences may be nuanced, but I don't think either side will budge on the perpetual virginity of Mary, Papal authority, the infusion of grace through sacrament, purgatory, etc.<br /><br />I know I wouldn't ever consider it. But I would undoubtedly work with Catholics to protect religious freedom, end abortion, criticize war, support racial equality, teach the Trinity, teach Jesus as God, etc.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-46188486413538712672020-10-18T05:46:24.204-07:002020-10-18T05:46:24.204-07:00Ron, I am confused about the meaning in your comme...Ron, I am confused about the meaning in your comment.
