The Orthodoxy
Can't wait for the Orthobro movement to die.
The filioque was the view of the Church Fathers.

Yup….there’s a big difference between sharing the Gospel and picking apart on things that don’t matter. Do you believe Jesus’s Christ lived, was crucified, died and buried, then rose again? Do you reside with the Holy Spirit? Awesome. All I need to know.

I didn’t say “everyone” because I rarely experience anyone other than Protestants engaging in that sort of behavior. Catholics, at least in Louisiana, tend to be more self-focused while keeping a “live and let live” attitude towards other people. It feels like Protestants are noticeably more concerned with the morals and actions of others.

It is still a better preoccupation than molesting boys and protecting the molesters like Catholics love to do

We were a Catholic family in an area dominated by Baptists and Pentecostal types. From the first grade, I had Protestant kids telling me what I believed and why it was wrong.
My response was usually along the lines of, “Whatever. I don’t really care what you believe, we never talk about other religions in church or catechism, and I don’t understand why y’all seem to spend so much time talking about what others believe.” I refused to debate or engage them because I really didn’t care.

Got news for ya: Catholics are the original Christians.
So what? Africans were the original humans. How did that work out for them?

It’s more that Catholics don’t feel like they have anything to prove. Protestants tend to more often have a “chip on their shoulder” or “something to prove”.

It was apparently not all of the church fathers. There is still discourse, whether you accept it or not.
I’m not an orthobro. It’s an objective statement of fact. Pretty amazing to me that the only ones that don’t appear to know much about actual church history are the casual Catholics.
Here’s another objective fact- many people that would otherwise join the Catholic Church have a hard time accepting the reality and handling of the pervasive sexual abuse and look down the Vatican’s historical abuse of power.

quote:And yet, here you are - stirring this pot.
Protestants (particularly of the evangelical flavor) are obsessed with what other people think, say, and believe about religion. They are much more interested calling out Catholics and other denominations for being wrong, rather than simply practicing their own faith and being fulfilled by it.
But if you sincerely want to see the answer, look into an objective overview of the history of the various popes. Some of their history is far removed from what one would expect from men who are supposed to be special representatives of our Lord. Apostolic succession is hard to take seriously - especially in light of the gaps and very late start in the whole process. Then consider the very violent activities involved in some of their schemes over time. Strangling, poisoning, starving and beheading their rivals. Even digging up a corpse to try it for heresy and then condemning and executing the corpse before burning it and scattering the ashes in a river.
Then read an objective history of RCC doctrines and how these came about - and when - and why. The whole idea of "developing doctrine" is puzzling to many of us who take the biblical admonition to "add nothing and take nothing away" seriously. This is why many reformer theologians looked back to find where they thought the correct doctrines had been bypassed over time. Most are far from original and had been accepted RCC doctrine before being set aside for puzzling reasons. No, they did not make up their own theology - if you look, you will see much of it in your own doctrinal history.
Then look at the history of the RCC's activities in stifling publication of the Bible - just before endorsing the publication of the Bible. Look at the lives of Jan Hus, John Wyclif, WilliamTyndale and Myles Coverdale for an understanding of how RCC tried to prevent translation and publication of Bibles so that their church would be the sole source of what was in the Word. Where in the Bible are we told to avoid reading and studying God's Word? I do not see any guidance where imprisoning, excommunicating, strangling and/or burning men for translating and publishing God's Word is endorsed as a divinely inspired act of His Church.
There is a lot to understand in that history - if you give these items an honest examination.
But remember - you asked.

My brother in Christ, what even is this thread?
