Why is it so difficult for some non-Catholics to realize that the advanced theology, doctrines, and practices of the Catholic church are indeed based on the teachings of Christ and the apostles, found both in oral and written form, and they simply reflect the practical application of those principles, to the the fullest extent possible, this side of heaven?
And isn't it time protestants stopped merely studying the bible and started to put much, much more of the what's in it to work in the world, building up the authentic Kingdom of God, always and everywhere, instead of remaining stuck in the past, in a state of denial, that depends more on denying facts, attempting to rewrite history, and railing against the Catholic church, than anything else?
It would also be nice if mainline protestantism could begin to work towards developing some type of standard, complete theology, to minimize the confusion that's reigning over so much of Christiandom, today.
What do you think?
