Hence my slightly simplistic comment, which was nonetheless sincere.<br /><br />The Catholic Church at present is wasting a huge Heaven-sent opportunity. <br /><br />If we could only overcome this Relativist insurrection from within and concentrate on upholding Scripture, Revelation, Tradition and the teaching of the Magisterium, with the Pope as Keeper of the Keys and Successor of Peter, and as guarantor of those essentials, and above all, above all, hold to unchanging moral standards instead of allowing Secularist Amorality to seep steadily into and warp our Catholic thinking, what a different world it would be.Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-55500207506712661322014-11-08T12:12:26.441+00:002014-11-08T12:12:26.441+00:00I was an evangeelical for over 20 years, so speak ... I was an evangeelical for over 20 years, so speak with a little experience.<br />True, they don't accept Catholic doctrine, and true many realise that ecumenism with Rome usually means they have to accept what Rome accepts. And true, centuries of division give them a visceral reaction to aspects of Catholic observance, such as the teaching about and devotion to Our Lady.<br />However, they are in desperate need of authority, and many know it. The giants, such as John Stott are long gone, and the generation they have now wobble on so much, or are out and out heretics even on Evangelical terms. <br />What they want to see is that Catholics are committed to the Scriptures, to Jesus, to the Body of Christ, to evangelisation, to unchanging moral standards. This is why some of us have converted to the RCC or Orthodox - as have some of the older leaders such as Michael Harper, Franky Schaeffer. They are a flock without a shepherd, let's help them see that the sheepfold is open to them.
