do all born again catholics end up hating fundie churches?

Question

especially when they find out all those lies they've been fed by their 10% tithing preacher and wife throughout the years. I see a lot of it once the ex-fundies do their research and find out they've been lied to, by Jach Chick et al.

I think we should all love each other, but I don't think the pastor making up al those lies is going to get away that easy in front of Jesus for dividing his chuch.

what do you think ?

All the new fangled stuff they need to swallow and swallow again - escapism by Nelson Darby and Tim La Haye, the "invisible" church throughout the ages, worship of Mary and saints, etc

By born-again catholics, I mean those who have rediscovered the visible church of Christ throughout the ages. The ones who offer the perfect sacrifice to God in every time zone from sunrise to sunset. (Malachi 1:10)

Malachi 1:11

Answer 1

No, not really. In fact, I have the fundamentalists among whom I worshipped for many years to thank for the fact that I found my way home to the Catholic Church. I have no wish to disparage them; they were fine folks. My pastor was sincere, not intentionally devious. They just didn't have the whole truth.

Answer 2

I think it dangerous to listen to and blindly follow any Pastor, Preacher or Priest and not seek the truth for themselves by reading the Bible.
As for division in the Church, Jesus said
Mark 9;
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
38"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."
39"Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40for whoever is not against us is for us. 41I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward.

So yes we should all stop throwing stones at the other denominations, and remember that we have the same Holy spirit.

Answer 3

Yes, you are correct. There is only one true Church and that happens to be the one founded by Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

I was raised baptist, I don't hate them, but I feel sorry that they taught me ignorant things about something they obviously didn't know anything about. But the thing I feel most sorry for is that their are thousands of them that believe these lies about Jesus Church, and that truly hurts me. All we can do is pray for them to find the truth as I have, and other ex-fundies (pardon the use of the term) have.

Answer 5

They must say that the Catholic Church is wrong or else why are they Protestants? Yet they must also admit that not one of their denominations has any right to declare itself to be the one True Church. And that, for the simple reason that Christ did not estab­lish any institution which could be known by men to be His Church.


They are all brought up with that impression and so they continue in religious matters to wander where they will, like people in a forest, who follow any line of tracks without bothering to ask where it leads. And they so love the risky adventure of experi­menting for themselves that they search Scripture for every possible text which they think will support them.


All Christians admit that Christ intended a unity of some kind to prevail amongst His followers. But we cannot deny for ourselves what type of unity must prevail. The "all going the one way" type of unity, whilst each goes his own way, is useless if it be quite foreign to the mind of Christ. Who can accept the in­vention of Protestants who, noting the numberless ways in which they are divided, define the unity re­quired to suit themselves in their present circumstances and in such a way that they may remain where they are.


Those who believed all that He had taught would at least be one in faith. Again, He demanded unity in worship. "One Lord, one faith, one baptism," was to be the rule and baptism belongs to worship. The early Christians were told distinctly by St. Paul that participation in the same Eucharistic worship probably was essential to the unity. "We, being many, are one bread, one body; all that partake of one bread".
In other words, "The one Christ is to be found in Holy Communion, and we, however numerous we may be, are one in Him if we partake of the same Holy Communion."

Protestantism cannot preserve Christian standards in­tact. Articles of faith have gone overboard. Mortifi­cation and fasting are not required. The evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience, with their consequent inspiration of monastic life are ig­nored. Protestant writings excuse, and even approve, laxity in moral practice. Protestantism has not pro­duced anything equivalent to the canonized Catholic Saint. Many of the Sacraments of Christ are not even acknowledged by Protestantism, whilst the heart has been torn out of its worship by the loss of Christ's presence in the Blessed Eucharist. Of spiritual author­ity there is scarcely a trace. The very clergy are not trained in moral law, and cannot advise the laity as they should, even were the laity willing to accept ad­vice. The prevalent notion, "Believe on Christ and be saved," tends of its very nature to lessen the sense of necessity of personal virtue.

Protestantism was a movement of heated dissent. Error and rebellion took the first Protestants from the Catholic Church, the various forms of error, or the various countries in which the rebellion occurred, giving rise to the various sects. But any goodness which the first Protestants took as doctrinal baggage with them was derived from the Church they left. And any apparent goodness in the teachings of Protestant­ism is still to be found in the Catholic Church. Where, in the Catholic Church, cockle sown by the enemy is found here and there amidst the wheat, Satan was wise enough to allow some wheat here and there to remain amidst the cockle of Protestantism. And it is the presence of this wheat which accounts for the con­tinued existence of Protestantism. But the wheat does not really belong to Protestantism. It is a relic of Catholicism growing in alien soil. A Catholic is good when he lives up to Catholic principles, refusing to depart from them. A Protestant is good when he unconsciously acts on Catholic principles, departing from those which are purely Protestant.
