The Catholic Church even states that their own Catechism outranks the bible.

But I'll agree this whole thing is silly, and end with that as well.

Why did you single out Catholics?

There is a strong implication in your posts that some particular branch of Protestantism really DOES follow the Bible. But you won't come out and say it.

Aw, yet you maintain some sympathy with the Catholic position.

I see.

Feel free to do so. Obviously, if something is misunderstood, it is misunderstood. But I am rather sympathetic with the Catholic position and never throw them under the bus. Perhaps "schismatic" was too strong of a word to use but it accurately describes my view of them.

I told you on that thread in Debates that I was simply naming a branch of Christianity that doesn't follow the Bible. I even told you that I could've said Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons. I wasn't singling out Catholics; they were just who I happened to name.

Wait... So Catholics are an arbitrary target here?

What is your real agenda?

You just want to enumerate the various "heretical" branches of Christendom?
